Platform assembly for toilet

Abstract

Disclosed is a platform assembly for raising a height of a toilet. The platform assembly includes a base and a sealing mechanism. The base includes a lower surface, an upper surface and a through-opening. The lower surface is capable of being removably affixed to a floor. The upper surface is opposite to the lower surface and spaced apart from the lower surface by a predetermined distance. A through-opening extends from the lower surface to the upper surface. The through-opening is capable of being aligned with an outlet of the toilet when a stool of the toilet is disposed on the upper surface. A peripheral rim of the through-opening extends outwardly from the lower surface to define an engaging portion. The sealing mechanism is disposed on the engaging portion. The sealing mechanism is capable of coupling the outlet of the toilet to a drain pipe.
