  • Patent number: 5161262
    Abstract: An apparatus for removing odors from toilets represents a new level of sophistication, adaptability, convenience, aesthetics and performance. The apparatus includes an adjustable housing having first and second sections, both with neck portions, one of which telescopes into the other to conveniently mount upon and adjust to various toilet sizes. Each section defines a wide, thin air inlet which is disposed adjacent the toilet bowl rim and which communicates with the hollow interior of the housing sections. In one section of the housing is a battery pack, timer circuit and on-off switches. In the other section is an activated charcoal filter and fan or blower which draws foul air from both air inlets, removes odors by drawing it over the charcoal filter and returning it to the ambient. The telescoping neck portions include a pair of sliding electric contacts which provide electricity to the fan motor from the battery pack and timer circuit.
