Ventilated toilet

Abstract

A ventilated toilet with ventilation orifices, ventilation channel terminating in a ventilation port, ventilation duct, exhaust duct and exhaust device, all in fluid communication. Ventilation orifices are at an elevation above the toilet rim. The exhaust device is external to the structure housing the ventilated toilet.

1 . In a toilet having at least a rim and a bowl comprising:
 a plurality of ventilation orifices spaced at and elevation above said toilet rim;   a ventilation channel above said rim in fluid communication with said ventilation orifices terminating in a ventilation port in the rear of the toilet;   a ventilation duct having a proximal and distal end, said proximal end is attached and in fluid communication with said ventilation channel.   an exhaust duct having a top end and a bottom end, said bottom end attached to said distal end of said ventilation duct, said exhaust duct disposed within a generally adjacent wall and terminating external to the structure in which said toilet was installed; and   an exhaust means attached to said top end of said exhaust vent and in fluid communication with said exhaust vent, producing negative pressure; said ventilating means removing odors from such toilet.   
   
   
       2 . A ventilated toilet according to  claim 1  where in said ventilation port is within the rear surface of said toilet. 
   
   
       3 . A ventilated toilet according to  claim 1  wherein said ventilation means is a wind driven exhaust turbine. 
   
   
       4 . A ventilated toilet according to  claim 1  wherein said ventilation means is an electric fan. 
   
   
       5 . A ventilated toilet according to  claim 1  wherein said proximal end of said ventilation duct is attached to said ventilation port and said distal end terminates at the surface of such wall upon which such toilet is mounted and said bottom portion of said exhaust duct is attached to said distal end of said ventilation duct. 
   
   
       6 . A ventilated toilet according to  claim 1  wherein the said distal end of said ventilation duct terminates within such wall upon which such toilet is installed. 
   
   
       7 . A system of a plurality of ventilated toilets according to  claim 1  further having an elongated collection vent within such wall upon which such toilet is mounted, generally horizontal, with a plurality of openings extending from said collection vent each attached to said ventilation ducts and an opening attached to said exhaust duct. 
   
   
       8 . A ventilated toilet according to  claim 1  wherein said ventilating means is a turbine exhaust fan. 
   
   
       9 . A ventilated toilet according to  claim 1  wherein said ventilating means is an electrical exhaust fan. 
   
   
       10 . A ventilated toilet according to  claim 1  wherein said predetermined material of said ventilating duct is of the group of plastic or metal. 
   
   
       11 . A ventilating toilet according to  claim 10  wherein said predetermined material of said ventilating duct is a plastic of a group that is rigid or flexible. 
   
   
       12 . A ventilated toilet according to  claim 1  wherein said toilet further includes a water tank.
