ABSTRACT:
A toilet odor ventilating assembly (TOVA) (10) that is designed to be produced either as a kit for modifying a standard toilet assembly or to be integrated on to an original equipment manufacture (OEM) toilet assembly. When produced as a kit, the TOVA (10) can be easily installed onto a standard toilet assembly (160). The TOVA (10) kit is comprised of three major elements: a lower air-flow conduit (12), an upper air-flow conduit (56), and an electrical activation unit (120). The three elements function in combination to effectively eliminate or substantially reduce toilet odors emanating from the toilet bowl (168). The OEM design of the TOVA10requires that the toilet bowl (168) include an air inlet opening (200) that has attached an air inlet flange (204) and an air outlet opening (202) that has attached an air outlet flange (214). Between the two flanges is attached a flexible air hose (130) that passes the air flowing from the toilet bowl (168) into the sewer.
