ABSTRACT:
A toilet assembly which includes a toilet stool having a ventilation conduit disposed adjacent to the back wall portion of the toilet stool for ventilating objectionable odor from a toilet bowl, the ventilation conduit extending annularly around a siphon conduit at the point where they communicate with a sewer discharge line, a fan member disposed in the lower portion of the the ventilation conduit, a toilet holding tank having a motion sensor disposed on the front exterior of the toilet holding tank and free of interference from the opening and closing of a toilet seat cover, a gas exhaust duct connected to the ventilation conduit and having a raised portion disposed at the interior surface thereof for allowing exhaust gas to flow from a flush ring to the ventilation conduit and preventing the flush water from flowing into the ventilation conduit, whereby opening the toilet seat cover while the user sits on the seat ring, the motion sensor actuates the fan member allowing the objectionable odor to be ventilated and in turn, when the user stands up and flushes the toilet assembly, the motion sensor is deactivated and the flush water simultaneously discharges the waste products and associated objectionable odor directly to the sewer discharge line.
