Abstract

Ventilating apparatuses for a toilet remove objectionable odors. Instead of allowing toilet odors to diffuse into the bathroom atmosphere, the ventilating apparatus for a toilet draws toilet odors out of the toilet bowl and exhausts them outside of the house. The ventilating apparatus for a toilet has first inlet channels piercing the interior surface of the toilet seat and second inlet channels piercing the bottom surface of the toilet seat. The opposite ends of the first inlet channels and the second inlet channels protrude into a primary channel, thereby creating a partial air blockage and an enhanced vacuum effect through the first inlet channels and the second inlet channels. A vacuum motor controlled by a pressure-activated switch on the bottom of the toilet seat extracts air from the toilet through the first inlet channels and second inlet channels and exhausts it through a ceiling fan vent.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates to a ventilating apparatus for a toilet for use in connection with toilets. The ventilating apparatus for a toilet have particular utility in connection with removing objectionable odors. [0003] 2. Description of Related Art [0004] Ventilating apparatuses for a toilet are desirable for removing objectionable odors. Instead of allowing toilet odors to diffuse into the bathroom atmosphere, the ventilating apparatus for a toilet draws toilet odors out of the toilet bowl and exhausts them outside of the house. This device reduces the time needed to remove the odor from the room as well as being more effective than a ceiling exhaust fan alone. The ventilating apparatus for a toilet is an effective alternative to using air freshening sprays, solids or candles, opening windows or using a ceiling exhaust fan. [0005] The use of ventilated toilet seats is known in the prior art. For example, U.S....
