ABSTRACT:
An improved toilet bowl air deodorizing system comprises a toilet seat hingedly coupled to the toilet bowl permitting the toilet seat to assume horizontal and vertical stable positions and a substantially hollow toilet seat lid hingedly coupled to the toilet bowl likewise permitting the lid to assume stable horizontal and vertical positions. The hollow lid houses both deodorizing means and exhaust means which includes a disposable filter cartridge and a direct drive motor for driving a fan. An intake channel is coupled to a rear portion of the lid and has an opening which is maneuvered into a position proximate the space between the lower surface of the seat and an upper surface of the bowl only when the lid is in its vertical position. Detectors are placed in both the lid and the seat to assure that the exhaust means is energized only when the lid is in its vertical position and a user is sitting on the seat. An improved hinge arrangement is provided.
