Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device providing on the one hand an extraction of air from a room, and on the other hand, an extraction of stale air contained in a bowl of a sanitary appliance, in particular of a toilet.
  • Room air extraction systems are well known. These systems suck up a quantity of air to reject it to the outside. Such systems thus ensure a renewal of the room air and thus a ventilation of the room air.
  • Stale air extraction devices contained in a bowl of a toilet are also known via the rim for dispensing water into the bowl.
  • the document US-A 4,933,996 discloses a stale air evacuation device of a water closet bowl, this device comprising an axial fan located in the tank of a flush.
