Definitions

• This invention relates to a concealed cistern comprising the odor removal system to vacuum and filter the odor inside the bowl.

• the odorless concealed cistern (1) having a lower part (5) and an upper part (4), comprises an odor removal system, wherein the odorous air is vacuumed from the toilet bowl (2) through the overflow tube (3), which is a part of conventional flush mechanism.
• the upper part (4) of the concealed cistern (1) is divided into front and back sections by a protection cover (10), which is used for different purposes in prior art.
• the odor removal system comprising a fan (7) and an air-cleaning filter (8) is installed in a ventilating box (9) and mounted into the back section of the upper part (4) of the concealed cistern (1).
• This ventilating box (9) is provided with a hole on the bottom for the overflow tube (3) fixing and also with a vent (6) on at least one side of the box (9).
• the vent (6) which is constituted by an elongated body, allows the filtered air leave the ventilating box (9).
• the protection cover (10) which divides the upper part (4) of the concealed cistern (1) into two sections, is provided with an aperture (11).
• the ventilating box (9) is positioned at a distance from the protection cover (10) and the elongated vent (6) of the said ventilating box (9) is fixed into the said aperture (11).
• the aperture (11) on the protection cover (10) allows the filtered air enter the front section of the upper part (4). Therefore a continuous airflow is provided from the back section to front section of the upper part (4).
• the concealed cistern (1) also comprises a panel (12), which is used to cover front section of the upper part (4).
• This panel (12) comprises an electronically controlled sensor (15) or button to activate the flush mechanism.
• the edges of the said panel (12) are folded and said folded edges (14) are constituted by an elongated body.
• the at least one folded edge (14) and/or the front surface of the panel are provided with a slot (13).
• only the transverse folded edges are provided with slots (13).
• the size of the said folded edges (14) and slots (13) are suitable for the cleaned air exit.
• the fitting tube comprises discharge holes and a moveable safety float on it. The safety float rises when the water level goes higher than the utilization level.
• the second function of the overflow tube (3), discharging the water, is provided with the discharges holes and safety float.
• FIG. 1 The operation of the concealed cistern (1) according to the invention is shown schematically in Figure 1.
• electronically controlled sensor (15) sense the user and sends a signal to the main control unit.
• the main control unit switches on the fan (7).
• the fan (7) installed inside the ventilating box (9) vacuumed the odorous air from the toilet bowl (2) through the overflow tube (3) of the standard flush mechanism.
• the odorous air passes through the overflow tube (3), passes through the fitting tube installed between the overflow tube (3) and the ventilating box (9), which is installed inside the back section of the upper part (4) of the concealed cistern (1), and reaches the fan (7).
• the fan (7) installed inside the ventilating box (9) transfers the odorous air to the filter (8) installed inside the ventilating box (9). Wlrier the odorous air passes through the filter (8), its dirty and stenchy particles are kept by the filter (8), so that the odorous air is cleaned.
• the vacuumed air, cleaned after passing through the filter (8) leaves the ventilating box (9) through the vent (6), which is constituted by an elongated body.
• the vent (6) transfers the cleaned air from back section to the front section of the upper part (4) and prevents the transfer of cleaned air to the lower part (5) of the concealed cistern (1) where the water is stored for flushing.
• the cleaned air enters the front section through the aperture (11), which is provided on the protection cover (10), and leaves the concealed cistern (1) passing through the slots (13) provided on transverse edges (14) of panel (12).
• the electronically controlled sensor (15) sends a signal to stop the system and to switch on the flushing system.
