A toilet seat elevator assembly includes a mounting bracket for connection to a toilet bowl and a seat elevator removably connected to the mounting bracket. The seat elevator has a generally ring-shaped portion for resting on the toilet bowl and a mounting portion with opposing mounting projections. The mounting bracket has a pair of opposing side panels and an elongate slot formed in each side panel. Each elongate slot is adapted for slidably and rotatably receiving the mounting projections of the mounting portion, so that the seat elevator may be slidably and rotatably mounted to the bracket to facilitate installation, adjustment and removal of the seat elevator with respect to the toilet bowl.

What is claimed is: 1. A toilet seat elevator assembly comprising: a seat elevator having a generally ring-shaped portion for resting on a toilet bowl and a mounting portion extending rearwardly of the ring-shaped portion, the mounting portion having opposing mounting projections; and a bracket including a bottom wall adapted for securement to the toilet bowl and spaced side panels extending upwardly from the bottom wall, each said side panel having forward and rear edges extending upwardly from the bottom wall and an upper edge extending between the forward and rear edges, and an elongate slot extending diagonally within each said side panel between the forward and rear edges, whereby each said elongate slot is slidably and rotatably receiving the mounting projections of the mounting portion, to thereby facilitate adjustment and removal of the seat elevator with respect to the toilet bowl, the seat elevator being slidably and rotatably mounted to the bracket, wherein each said elongate slot extends diagonally from a first slot position proximal the forward and upper edges to a second slot position proximal the rear edge and bottom wall, wherein at least one of the side panels includes a first slot segment that extends from the upper edge to the elongate slot for receiving one of the mounting projections when the mounting portion of the seat elevator is installed on the bracket, wherein the first slot segment is located between the first and second slot positions, wherein each side panel further includes a second slot segment spaced rearwardly of the first slot segment, the second slot segment extending vertically from the second slot position toward the upper edge from the elongate slot, each mounting projection being positioned in a respective second slot segment when the toilet seat elevator is in a lowered position on the toilet bowl to thereby secure the seat elevator against sliding movement along the elongate slot. 2. A toilet seat elevator assembly according to claim 1, wherein said at least one mounting projection is located at the first slot position when the seat elevator is rotated to a raised position from a lowered position. 3. A toilet seat elevator assembly according to claim 1, wherein said at least one mounting projection is movable within said second slot segment from a lower position at said elongate slot to an elevated position toward the upper edge to prevent said sliding movement. 4. A toilet seat elevator assembly according to claim 1, and further comprising a third slot segment extending from the first slot position toward the bottom wall, wherein said at least one mounting projection is located in the third slot segment when the seat elevator is rotated to a raised position from a lowered position to thereby securely hold the seat elevator in the raised position. 5. A toilet seat elevator assembly according to claim 1, wherein the at least one side panel further includes a third slot segment spaced forwardly of the second slot segment, the third slot segment extending toward the upper edge from the elongate slot, said at least one mounting projection being positioned in the third slot segment to thereby adjust the position of the seat elevator when mounted on an elongate toilet bowl. 6. A toilet seat elevator assembly according to claim 1, and further comprising a third slot segment positioned forwardly of the second slot segment and extending from the elongate slot toward the bottom wall, wherein each mounting projection is located in its respective third slot segment when the seat elevator is rotated to a raised position from a lowered position to thereby securely hold the seat elevator in the raised position. 7. A toilet seat elevator assembly comprising: a seat elevator having a generally ring-shaped portion for resting on a toilet bowl and a mounting portion extending rearwardly of the ring-shaped portion, the mounting portion having opposing mounting projections; and a bracket including: a bottom wall adapted for securement to the toilet bowl; spaced side panels extending upwardly from the bottom wall, each side panel having forward and rear edges extending upwardly from the bottom wall and an upper edge extending between the forward and rear edges, each side panel including: an elongate slot extending diagonally within each said side panel from a first slot position proximal the upper and forward edges to a second slot position proximal the rear edge and bottom wall, whereby each said elongate slot is slidably and rotatably receiving the mounting projections of the mounting portion; a first slot segment extending from the upper edge to the elongate slot for receiving one of the mounting projections during installation of the mounting portion of the seat elevator on the bracket, wherein the first slot segment is located between the first and second slot positions; and a second slot segment spaced rearwardly of the first slot segment, the second slot segment extending vertically from the second slot position toward the upper edge from the elongate slot, each mounting projection being positioned in its respective second slot segment when the toilet seat elevator is in a lowered position on the toilet bowl to thereby secure the seat elevator against sliding movement along the elongate slot when in use. 8. A toilet seat elevator assembly according to claim 7, wherein each mounting projection is located at its respective first slot position when the seat elevator is rotated to a raised position from a lowered position. 9. A toilet seat elevator assembly according to claim 7, wherein each side panel further comprises a third slot segment extending from the first slot position toward the bottom wall, wherein each mounting projection is located in its respective third slot segment when the seat elevator is rotated to a raised position from the lowered position to thereby securely hold the seat elevator in the raised position. 10. A toilet seat elevator assembly according to claim 7, wherein each side panel further comprises a third slot segment spaced forwardly of the second slot segment, the third slot segment extending toward the upper edge from the elongate slot, each mounting projection being positioned in its respective third slot segment to thereby adjust the position of the seat elevator when mounted on an elongate toilet bowl. 11. A toilet seat elevator assembly according to claim 10, wherein each side panel further comprises a fourth slot segment extending from the first slot position toward the bottom wall, wherein each mounting projection is located in its respective fourth slot segment when the seat elevator is rotated to a raised position from the lowered position to thereby securely hold the seat elevator in the raised position.
