ASSISTIVE APPARATUS WITH ADJUSTABLE SEAT HEIGHT
An assistive apparatus with adjustable height is designed to be placed on or about a toilet such that when an individual uses the toilet the weight of the individual is transferred to the assistive apparatus and not directly on the toilet, avoiding distribution of heavy weight to the toilet itself. The invention also includes a powered lifting mechanism to aid the individual in utilizing a toilet. The powered lifting mechanism includes a pair of lift arm assemblies which are driven by a motor at both sides to raise and lower the assistive platform and be tilted between a first stationery position and a second tilted position, tilted at an angle (“a”) in a vertical “Z” direction from a horizontal plane. The front and back supporting legs are used to provide sturdy structural support for a person's weight whiling sitting on the assistive apparatus atop of a toilet.
