Abstract: A ventilated toilet is disclosed which includes an exhaust fan assembly, electrical connections therefor, and a normally open pneumatically operated switch element, all of which are located remote from the toilet area so that the user is never endangered thereby. An internal passageway is formed within the toilet seat which is in communication with the interior of the toilet bowl by means of a series of spaced holes located in the bottom of the toilet seat. A collapsible bulb is provided beneath each of the two sides of the toilet seat, and each bulb is connected to an air tube that lies within the passageway within the toilet seat. The two air tubes leading from the collapsible bulbs join via a Y-connection into one air tube, which leads to the pneumatically operated switch. When pressure is applied to the toilet seat, the collapsible bulbs are compressed and air is forced under pressure through the air tubes.
