Abstract

The invention relates to a toilet seat with built in body weight meter, being connected to a bowl by hinge bearings and having force sensors and force transmitting elements on the lower side, wherein the force sensors are connected to a display. According to the invention the hinge bearings ( 3 ) comprise two bearing pins ( 6 ) perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the toilet seat ( 2 ) and one bearing pin ( 8 ) parallel with the longitudinal axis of toilet seat ( 2 ) and the force transmitting elements ( 1 ) are independently adjustable in vertical and/or horizontal direction. The force transmitting elements ( 1 ) are adjustable in horizontal direction with eccentric wheels ( 15 ) and in vertical direction with washers ( 16 ) of different thicknesses. The force transmitting elements ( 1 ), and in several cases the eccentric wheels ( 15 ) as well, are at least partly covered with flexible protective caps ( 18 ).
