Abstract: A ventilated toilet has a toilet bowl and a toilet seat hingedly mounted on the toilet bowl. A blower is mounted in a casing and includes a blower housing which has inlet and outlet ports at the inlet and outlet sides of the blower. The blower is mounted in the casing for pivoting between two positions in one of which a channel which extends between the blower housing and the internal space of the toilet bowl communicates with the inlet port so that the blower withdraws air from the internal space, and another position in which the channel communicates with the outlet port so that the blower forces air, which may be heated during its passage through the channel, into the internal space of the toilet bowl. The port which does not communicate with the channel simultaneously communicates with the ambient atmosphere.
