Abstract: An odour removal apparatus for a toilet is described wherein the toilet has a bowl, a cistern for supplying water to the bowl, a flushing valve of a flushing mechanism within the cistern and an internal overflow in fluid and/or gaseous communication with the inside of the cistern and an area in the vicinity of the bowl. The apparatus includes an inlet adapted to be in fluid and/or gaseous communication with the bowl via the internal overflow and/or the flushing mechanism when installed. The apparatus also includes a gases extraction means for drawing gases and entrained odours from the area in the vicinity of the bowl, to the inlet, via the internal overflow and/or the flushing mechanism. The gases and entrained odours may then be passed to a filter to remove odours therefrom.

Abstract: An odor removal apparatus for a toilet wherein the apparatus and toilet has a bowl, an outlet from the bowl and a barrier between the bowl and the outlet which substantially prevents odors from the outlet passing to the bowl. A gas extraction apparatus is in communication with an area in the vicinity of the bowl and the outlet whereby operation of the gas extraction apparatus substantially removes odors from the vicinity of the bowl and transfers them to the outlet. The gas extraction apparatus comprises a fan operable to induce a flow of gases and entrained odors for removal of the odors from the vicinity of a toilet. The fan is immersed in the water in the cistern of the toilet.
