Abstract

Toilet bowl equipped with a system for odours and gases absorption from the space inside the toilet bowl.My invention refers to a new way of absorbing and managing odours and gases created during the use of the toilet bowl.So that the user of the toilet bowl or another person in the same space is excluded from the possibility of breathing - smelling some unpleasant odour.This is achieved with the system that the toilet bowl of my invention is equipped with, which traps the unpleasant odours and gases that are created during its use inside and removes them outside the house. In some exceptional cases where this is not possible, it deodorises them inside the attic or bathroom area.The main use of my invention is the removal or deodorisation of odours and gases from the space inside the toilet bowl wherever it operates.

Description

Toilet bowl equipped with an odours and gases absorption management system through the toilet bowl area.
The invention refers to a toilet bowl which is equipped with an odours and gases absorption management system through the toilet bowl area so that they do not diffuse into the bathroom area.
Absorption and ventilation systems known to date are:

The central ventilation system.
The simple bathroom window.
The electric glass range hood.

All existing systems have the disadvantage that they absorb odours and gases created during the use of the toilet bowl, when they diffuse into its space, and are inhaled by its user and another person who may be in the same space. To date, absorption and ventilation systems are ineffective when the wind blows from the side of the bathroom window. Then a large part of the odours and gases passes to the other areas of the house, where it lingers for several hours.
This invention has the characteristic that the odours and gases created during the use of the toilet bowl are absorbed through the area of the toilet bowl, before they are diffused into the bathroom area.
Odours and gases are removed through the toilet bowl through a system consisting of: a vent 1, which is located inside the upper rim of the toilet bowl, the suction holes 2, which are located on the vent 1, an absorption turbine 7, the holes 3 where the absorption turbine is connected, a deodorant activated carbon filter 12.
With this invention, the toilet bowl user does not even notice the presence of odours and gases while using the toilet bowl and also, any other person in the same area. Because odours and gases are trapped and absorbed through the toilet bowl area and do not diffuse into the bathroom area so that the user can inhale them as is the case with existing systems.

Figure 1 shows the toilet bowl from the top so that the suction holes 2 can be seen on the inside of the upper rim 1, the toilet bowl which is concave - hollow inside and acts as an air vent.
Figure 2 shows the toilet bowl from the back where the two holes 3 in the back and top are shown. These holes communicate with each other through the vent 1 that exists within its upper rim. In one of the holes is connected the absorption turbine 7, optionally, the other one is closed with a plastic cap.
Figure 3 shows an upper and side view of the toilet bowl where holes 2 are shown on the vent 1 to the right and left of the interior, also shows the absorption turbine 7 connected to one of the holes 3 on the back.
Figure 4 shows my invention completed with the toilet bowl 6.
The toilet flush 5.
The absorption turbine 7.
The exit of odours and gases 8.
The cover of the toilet bowl 9 where you can see the big - elongated leg with which it rests on the upper edge of the toilet bowl.
The lid of the toilet bowl 4.
Figure 5 shows the cover 9 of the upper edge of the toilet bowl upside down to show the two big - elongated legs 10, with which it rests on the upper rim of the toilet bowl and its supports.
Figure 6 shows the cover of the toilet bowl upside down and the small arrows indicate the movement of air under it. The air enters from the front and back only and under the cover of the toilet bowl, which pushes the odours and gases present in the space inside the toilet bowl to be absorbed by the suction holes 2. This ensures that odours and gases do not escape and the toilet bowl user does not smell any bad odours.
Figure 7 shows the odour and gas management options of the toilet bowl.
The first option is to leave the house through one of the outlets 8.
The second option is to deodorise them inside the attic space and where this is not possible, deodorising them inside the bathroom area as a last resort. Deodorisation is done through the deodorant activated carbon filter 12.

My invention consists of a toilet bowl equipped with a system of odours and gases absorption from the space inside the toilet bowl 6, whose upper rim 1 is internally concave - hollow, forming an air vent which joins the two holes 3. In one of the two holes 3, the suction turbine 7 is optionally connected, the other hole is closed with a plastic cap. On the upper rim of the toilet bowl, which also acts as an air vent, there are suction holes 2, right and left inside. Through the suction holes 2, the air vent 1, the suction turbine 7 and the pipes, the odours and gases created inside the toilet bowl, during its use, are driven out of the house through the outlets 8. When this is not possible they are deodorised with a filter 12, deodorant activated carbon inside the attic space or inside the bathroom area as a last resort. Also my invention is complemented by a cover fig. 5 of the toilet bowl which is shown upside down, so that the two big - elongated legs 10 are visible, with which it rests on the upper rim of the toilet bowl. The role of the big - elongated legs 10, is to exclude the entry of air from the sides of the toilet bowl, so that during the operation of the turbine the air is forced to pass under cover 9 of the toilet bowl, from the front and back, as shown by the arrows in figure 6 and pushing the odours and gases to be absorbed by the suction holes 2. This eliminates the possibility of even the slightest odour spreading in the bathroom area and its user can smell it.

Claims

Toilet bowl equipped with a system for absorbing odours and gases from the space inside the toilet bowl, which is characterised by the fact that it has: air vent 1 inside its upper rim which is concave - hollow, suction holes 2 which are located on the air vent 1 to the right and left of its interior, holes 3 at the back and top which communicate with each other through the air vent 1, absorption turbine 7 which is connected to one of the holes 3 the other one is closed with a plastic cap, cover 9 of the toilet bowl which has only two support legs 10 elongated and wide, one on the right and one on the left, deodorant filter 9 of the odours and gases which are created during its use.
Toilet bowl which according to demand 1 is characterised by the fact that its upper rim is concave - hollow and an air vent 1 is formed inside of it.
