Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

This invention is related to the toilet seat cover. Toilet seat covers are used in private homes as well as public buildings like hotels, casinos, apartments, airport, etc. Some toilet seats offer couching, while others offer heated seat. There is a problem we are still facing when using the toilet. The unpleasant smell that is coming through our noses, stay in the bathroom for a while before it disappear through the ventilation system. This situation can make it uncomfortable for others to use the bathroom, especially in public places.

It can take several minutes before the unpleasant smell disappear due to the distance between the pulling fan and the toilet bowl. People are using all kind of air fresheners to hide the smell following defecation. The object of this invention is to prevent the bad smell from spreading inside the bathroom.

BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

This invention will help solve the bad smell problem we all facing. Using a pulling fan or a pump that could be located behind the toilet bowl or anywhere else inside the bathroom or outside the bathroom. The pulling fan will be connected to the toilet seat to allow quick pulling of the smell before it even reaches our noses. The toilet seat itself has compartment all around to allow airflow as seen on FIG. 1a. These compartments (openings) would be protected by mesh grills and or sponges or any other materials. At the back of the toilet seat cover, there would be a tube, FIG. 2c, that would connect the toilet seat with the pump, and another tube, 3h, 3i and 3j, could be located at the other end of the pump assembly that will allow the bad smell to be pull out of the house. There would be a switch FIG. 3f, which would allow the pump to be turned on only after seating down on the seat.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

The drawing are only illustration to help with the description of the inventions. These drawings are not made to scale and can vary without deviating from the scope of the invention.

FIG. 1 basically shows a view of the toilet seat with the vents as seen on 1a.

FIG. 2 is a view of the toilet seat with the lid and the tube that is connected to the toilet seat to allow air pulling.

FIG. 3 is a view of the toilet seat with the lead, several switches, wires, the pump assembly, the exhaust with mesh grill at the end and a lid for protection.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

In FIG. 1 there is a drawing of the toilet seat without the lid and the pump assembly. FIG. 1a shows several mesh grills that are vents located around the toilet seat for air pulling. FIG. 1b is basically the toilet hinge seat, which will be design to fit most toilet bowls. The air vent gap will be created by FIG. 1c. FIG. 1d could be placed there to allow easy lift or lower the toilet seat.

FIG. 2 shows the toilet seat with the lid as seen in FIG. 2a. FIG. 2b shows the air vent gap that would be created between the toilet seat and the lid. The lid will not be necessary for certain bathroom types and the toilet seat may have model(s) that doesn't circle all the way around. The tube, which will be connected to the toilet seat for air pulling, can be seen on FIG. 2c. FIG. 2d facilitate quick and easy lift up of the seat. The toilet seat hinges, which will be designed to fit most types of toilets is shown on FIG. 2e.

FIG. 3 shows the attachment of the pulling fan tube to the toilet seat FIG. 3a, the pump assembly, FIG. 3b and the exhaust pipe FIG. 3h. The arrows show the direction of the air when pulling the bad smell out of the bathroom. The mesh grill, FIG. 3i, at the end of the pipe along with FIG. 3j protect against debris, large insects, small animals, snow, etc. FIG. 3c shows the knob that would allows the user to control the speed of the fan and 3d shows wires coming out of the pump assembly to go to the on/off switch (s). The number of wires and switches including their locations could vary. A reverse airflow switch and an OFF switch 3e could also be added where the reverse airflow could also serve as a seat warmer since the reverse air could turn on heat components inside the pump (exhaust fan(s)). The wires coming out in FIG. 3d does not represent the exact number of wires in the product, rather an illustration. The same can be said for the switches 3e and 3f and their positions. The pump assembly could be mount anywhere including the wall, the toilet seat, outside the house, etc. FIG. 3g shows the screws that will be used to mount the pump. The exhaust pipe could be made of any hard or flexible materials and could be mount outside of the house using by drilling a hole through the wall or to the existing exhaust pipe in the ceiling. FIG. 3k shows the power cord. Fig L is basically part of the toilet bowl where the ON/OFF switch will be pressed against.

Claims

1. The main purpose of this invention is to allow the user the ability to defecate without having to deal with the bad smell, which usually comes to the nose. This bad smell sometimes stays in the bathroom for a while before it gets pulled out of the house by the conventional exhaust fan.

2. This invention will allow all users to feel comfortable while using the bathroom. Someone doesn't have to wait for someone else bad smell to go away before using the bathroom. Both the person doing the defecation and the person coming to use the bathroom later on will not have to worry how bad the smell is.

3. The user could save some money spend on air freshener, which is usually used to hide the bad smell.

4. The on/off switches (s) would require a certain force to be applied before the switch could turn on. The switch would turn on automatically someone seat on the toilet seat. The exhaust fan could have different speeds the user could choose from.

5. The user will never be in the position of using extra electricity because he or she forgot to turn the switch off when leaving the bathroom or taking a shower or bath while the fan is on. The exhaust fan will automatically turn off once the user gets off the toilet seat. There could be a preset delay so the fan can pull any extra smell before it turns off completely.

6. The addition of an off switch which will override the on/off switch will give the user the opportunity to smell his or her own waste matter discharged from the bowels if he or she choose to do so, or for any other reasons.

7. Easy to clean and repair due to its location. No ladder will be necessary in order to reach the fan for cleaning and or repair.
