Toilet odor elimination system

Abstract

A toilet odor elimination device and system prevents malodorous toilet odors from escaping into the surrounding air by means of vacuum-like inward flow of air into gasketed toilet where such together with any malodorous are ported out the rearward portion of the toilet into the plumbing vent pipe with assist of vacuum-like pump or motor optimally of sufficient power to maintain lower air pressure within the toilet bowl than its surrounding air pressure.

         4 . A system for reducing waste odor from a toilet bowl, comprising:
 a toilet comprising a bowl having rim portion, a seat disposed above said rim portion, and a gap separating said rim and said seat;   a gasket disposed between said rim and said seat and having a plurality of air pathways operationally connected to a primary air pathway; and   a vacuum pump operationally connected to said primary air pathway;   wherein said vacuum pump is capable of lowering the air pressure within the toilet bowl relative to air pressure outside the toilet bowl by drawing air through air pathways.   
     
     
         5 . The system of  claim 4 , wherein said vacuum pump is operationally connected to a bathroom vent pipe. 
     
     
         6 . The system of  claim 4 , wherein said vacuum pump is activated by a pressure switch located in the toilet seat. 
     
     
         7 . The system of  claim 4 , wherein said vacuum pump is operationally connected to the primary air pathway of a second toilet. 
     
     
         8 . A kit for retrofitting an existing toilet fixture with an odor elimination system, comprising:
 a gasket comprising a plurality of air pathways operationally connected to a primary air pathway, wherein said gasket sized and configured to sealably fit between the seat portion and the bowl rim portion of an existing toilet bowl fixture;   a vacuum pump operationally connectable to the primary air pathway of said gasket; and   an activation switch operationally connectable to said vacuum pump.   
     
     
         9 . The kit of  claim 8 , wherein said activation switch is a pressure switch mountable to the toilet seat of an existing toilet fixture. 
     
     
         10 . The kit of  claim 8 , wherein said activation switch is a motion detection device.
