ABSTRACT:
A toilet and toilet seat adapter unit which can be produced at a low cost yet which provides improved sealing around the toilet seat and which is easy to clean. The toilet seat adapter unit is disposed between the toilet seat and the upper surface of the rim of the toilet bowl of a conventional toilet. The toilet seat adapter unit includes a flat plastic plate having a shape and dimension generally conforming to those of the toilet seat. The lower surface of the flat plate is placed on the upper surface of the rim of the toilet bowl. A first set of plastic clips, affixed to the lower surface of the flat plate, fits around the outer edge of the rim of the toilet bowl and prevents the flat plate from slipping on the upper surface of the rim. A flexible plastic hose is looped around the upper surface of the flat plate and held in place by a second set of plastic clips. The hose communicates with a vacuum pump or exhaust fan. The height of the second set of clips is less than the diameter of the plastic hose so that the toilet seat will slightly compress the plastic hose when in use, thereby providing a tight seal around the seat.
