Toilet seat ventilation system

Abstract

A toilet ventilation system which includes a toilet seat that defines an inlet and passage way that has a means for quick attachment to a manifold. The manifold is connected by a pipe to an exhaust vent located on the outside of the building. The pipe includes an exhaust fan that urges odorous gases collected at the toilet seat to be expelled at the exhaust vent.

1 . A toilet ventilation system comprising: a toilet, toilet seat with at least one inlet duct; a manifold with a means to removably connect to the toilet seat, the manifold communicates with an exhaust port which allows collected gases and odors to be ventilated by means of a pipe; the pipe includes an inline exhaust fan that creates a pressure differential to draw the gases collected near the toilet and expel them through the exhaust port, the exhaust fan is switchably operated. 
   
   
       2 . The toilet ventilation system of  claim 1  wherein the toilet seat includes one of more inlet ducts and defines a void in the seat to allow gases to flow through the seat. 
   
   
       3 . The toilet ventilation system of  claim 1  wherein the manifold defines a passage way that latches to the toilet seat via snap latches. 
   
   
       4 . The toilet ventilation system of  claim 3  wherein the manifold begins as a single opening at the connection to the toilet seat and divides the airflow to two branches that exit at the manifold exit ports. 
   
   
       5 . The toilet ventilation system of  claim 1  wherein the manifold defines a passage way that latches to the toilet seat via snap latches, with the manifold beginning as a single opening at the connection to the toilet seat and divides the airflow into two branches that exit at the manifold exit ports and the branches of the manifold include sleeves that slidably adjust. 
   
   
       6 . The toilet ventilation system of  claim 5  wherein the sleeves include a fluid flow prevention wall. 
   
   
       7 . A toilet ventilation system comprising: a toilet, toilet seat with at least one inlet; a manifold with a snap latch on each side of the manifold to removably connect the manifold to the toilet seat, the manifold communicates with an exhaust port which allows collected gases and odors to be ventilated to the exterior by means of two pipes; the manifold has two sleeves that include a fluid flow prevention wall that interconnect between the manifold and the two pipes; the two pipes are joined to a single pipe that includes an inline exhaust fan that creates a pressure differential to draw the gases collected near the toilet and expel them through the exhaust port located on the exterior of the building, the exhaust fan is switchably operated;
