ABSTRACT:
A toilet ventilation apparatus (40) for extracting air (13) proximate a toilet assembly (10). The toilet ventilation apparatus (40) comprises an air intake mechanism (42) positioned for use proximate a rim (30) of a toilet bowl (12) for intaking air proximate an opening (20) into the toilet bowl (12) of the toilet assembly (10). An air extraction fan (72) is coupled to the air intake mechanism (42) for extracting air (13). A fluid removal mechanism (46) integrally coupled to the air intake mechanism (42) substantially removes trapped fluid (15) undesirably collected by the intake mechanism (42) during air extraction. The fluid removal mechanism (46) comprises a plurality of fluid collection troughs (66) communicably coupled to a plurality of intake apertures (56) situated about the intake mechanism (42). An actuating mechanism (100) is operably coupled to the air extracting fan (72) for automatically controlling the operation of the ventilation apparatus (40).
