Abstract
The Odor-Vac is an attachment that can easily be added to an existing toilet to extract odor from the toilet bowl as the user relieves oneself The odor in the toilet is extracted via a fan mounted over a hole in the wall behind the toilet through perforated hoses placed under the toilet seat and connected to the fan housing on the wall. One of the unique features of this invention is that, unlike most other inventions patented to accomplish this task, this attachment can be sold to the general public, who can attach to existing toilets using common tools and skills.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modifiedWhat I claim as my invention is:
1 . The Odor-Vac consisting of a hose (partially solid and partially perforated) connected to a fan housing containing a 110-volt fan that will extract odor from the toilet to between the walls.
2 . The apparatus in claim 1 with the hose connected to the bottom of the toilet seat instead of to the top of the toilet bowl with a break in the hose that allows the seat to be raised, but places the two hose sections together when the seat is down.
3 . The apparatus in claim 1 with the fan operated via a battery vs. 110-volt current.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
