A toilet lifting apparatus in which a spring mechanism causes a toilet seat to rise after flushing of the toilet. The spring mechanism is controlled by a bolting device which is connected to the spring mechanism at one end and to a cable at another end so that upon flushing the cable moves the bolting mechanism thereby releasing the spring mechanism. The spring mechanism can vary its resiliency which in turn varies the speed by which the toilet seat rises from its seated position upon flushing. A urine guard is also provided.

1. A toilet seat lifting device adapted to lift a toilet seal from a seated position to a raised position upon flushing, comprising: a spring mechanism adapted to lift a toilet seat when said spring mechanism is released; a bolting mechanism for retaining aid spring mechanism from being released

1. A toilet seat lifting device adapted to lift a toilet seal from a seated position to a raised position upon flushing, comprising: a spring mechanism adapted to lift a toilet seat when said spring mechanism is released; a bolting mechanism for retaining aid spring mechanism from being released when said bolting mechanism is in first position and for releasing said spring mechanism when said bolting mechanism is in second position; a cable having a first end connected to said bolting mechanism by a wire to a flushing apparatus so that when said flushing apparatus is flushed said wire moves said bolting apparatus from its first position to its second position releasing said spring mechanism so that said toilet seat is raised upward; said spring mechanism includes a spring, a housing cylinder for housing said spring therein, said spring being connected at each of its ends to each respective end of cylinder and a holder having a base aperture for holding one end of said spring connected to one end of said cylinder and a rod for insertion into one of said apertures to turn said spring and either increase or decrease the resiliency of the spring to vary the speed at which said seat is lifted when said bolting mechanism is retracted from said spring mechanism, said cylinder being connected to said toilet seat so as to rotatably lift said seat when said spring mechanism is released; and a key located at said aperture of said base of said holder and adapted to be removed when tightening said spring with said rod and being adapted to stay in said aperture of aid base before removing said rod to maintain tension of said spring so that said lifting device is operational. 2. The toilet seat lifting device according to claim 1 wherein said spring mechanism is an adjustable spring mechanism whose resilience is adjustable in order to vary a speed at which the toilet seat is raised over a range of speeds from a slow speed to a fast speed. 3. The toilet seat lifting device according to claim 2 wherein said adjustable spring mechanism is adapted to be disengaged to prevent said toilet seat from rising upward following flushing. 4. The toilet seat lifting apparatus according to claim 1 further comprising a urine spread guard. 5. The toilet seat lifting apparatus according to claim 1 wherein said spring mechanism includes a spring, a housing cylinder for housing said spring therein, said spring being connected at each of its ends to each respective end of cylinder and a holder having apertures for holding one of said spring connected to said one end of said cylinder and a rod for insertion into a one of said apertures to turn said spring and either increase or decrease the resiliency of the spring to vary the speed at which said seat is lifted when said bolting mechanism is retracted from said spring mechanism. 6. The toilet seat lifting device according to claim 1 wherein said bolting mechanism is a spring biased catch which locks into a detent of said housing cylinder and which is retracted therefrom when said flushing apparatus pulls said cable causing said bolt to retract out of said detent and thereby causing said seat to lift up.
