Abstract

A motorized lavatory seat assembly has a motorization device for a lavatory seat assembly including at least one magnetic attraction unit moved by an actuator, separated by at least one wall supporting another unit of magnetic attraction connected to a seat assembly comprising a rotary base, which enables the lavatory seat and a lid to be moved from a horizontal position to at least a vertical position, and the actuator being activated by a control.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 - 10 . (canceled) 
   
   
       11 . A motorized lavatory seat assembly comprising a motorization device for a lavatory seat assembly comprising at least one magnetic attraction means moved by an actuator, separated by at least one wall supporting another means of magnetic attraction connected to a seat assembly comprising a rotary base, which enables the lavatory seat and a lid to be moved from a horizontal position to at least a vertical position, and said actuator being activated by a control. 
   
   
       12 . The motorized lavatory seat assembly as claimed in  claim 11 , wherein the rotary base consists of a housing containing a magnetic attraction means and a flange. 
   
   
       13 . The motorized lavatory seat assembly as claimed in  claim 11 , wherein the actuator is provided with a cam with projections. 
   
   
       14 . The motorized lavatory seat assembly as claimed in  claim 11 , wherein the actuator is a motor. 
   
   
       15 . The motorized lavatory seat assembly as claimed in  claim 11 , wherein the actuator is a thrust cylinder. 
   
   
       16 . The motorized lavatory seat assembly as claimed in  claim 11 , wherein the seat is provided with a gutter acting as a housing for the lid. 
   
   
       17 . The motorized lavatory seat assembly as claimed in  claim 11 , wherein the lid is connected to the seat by projections positioned in an axis of a housing, and said lid comprising the housing shaped as a rotary cage. 
   
   
       18 . The motorized lavatory seat assembly as claimed in  claim 11 , wherein the control for operating the seat assembly is one of a manual control and an automatic control. 
   
   
       19 . The motorized lavatory seat assembly as claimed in  claim 11  wherein the movable at least one magnetic attraction means is positioned in an axial continuation of a housing of the another means of magnetic attraction located in the housing. 
   
   
       20 . The motorized lavatory seat assembly as claimed in  claim 11 , wherein the actuator moves at least one movable magnetic attraction means mounted on a movable rod.
