Claims


1. A toilet lid securing apparatus comprising: (a) a rear-mountable device capable of coupling between a toilet seat assembly hinge and surface of a toilet bowl utilizing existing fasteners adapted for connection to toilet bowl seat assembly surface mounting areas with distance of approximately 2 inches or more between a toilet tank and extreme edge of said toilet seat hinge assembly, and said toilet lid securing apparatus comprises side-mountable embodiment for toilet bowl surface mounting areas with restricted distance between a toilet tank and hinge mount area and uneven bowl surface mounting areas, a lock-arm adapted for pivotal connection to said rear and side mountable devices with means for preventing said lock-arms from rotating until a biased locking mechanism is overcome, and said lock-arm comprises a upper pivotal portion adapted for adjustment to allow said upper pivotal portion to be in contact or close proximity to surface of a toilet lids top side, whereby gaining access into said toilet lid requires said biased locking mechanism to be overcome and lid simultaneously raised, closing lid allows gravity to rotate said lock-arm to a predetermined position allowing said biased locking mechanism to re-engage, thereby blocking the lids ability to rotate to the open position, respectively.
