Systems, methods, and apparatus for a ventilating toilet

Abstract

A toilet apparatus comprises a base including a bowl and a rim. The bowl retains water and waste material. The water and the waste material emitting an odor. The rim extends inwardly from an upper periphery of the bowl, wherein the inwardly extending rim includes an upper surface, a lower surface, and an inner surface. The inner surface of the rim including one or more ventilation ports providing fluid communication between an interior of the bowl and a ventilation chamber. The ventilation chamber is connected to a ventilation pipe. An exhaust fan ventilates the odor through the ventilation chamber and the ventilation pipe from the interior of the bowl.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A toilet apparatus comprising, a base comprising a bowl, a rim, and a siphon;
 the bowl retaining water and waste material, wherein the apparatus dispenses the water and the waste material through the siphon, wherein the apparatus is located in a room;   the water and the waste material emitting an odor;   the rim extending inwardly from an upper periphery of the bowl, wherein the inwardly extending rim includes an upper surface, a lower surface, and an inner surface;   the inner surface of the rim including one or more ventilation ports;   the one or more ventilation ports providing fluid communication between an interior of the bowl and a ventilation chamber, wherein the ventilation chamber is connected to a ventilation pipe;   an exhaust fan ventilating the odor through the ventilation chamber and the ventilation pipe from the interior of the bowl.   
     
     
         2 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the fluid communication comprises communication of air. 
     
     
         3 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the ventilation chamber is located within the rim. 
     
     
         4 . The apparatus of  claim 3 , wherein the ventilation chamber extends to a point of exit from the apparatus. 
     
     
         5 . The apparatus of  claim 4 , wherein the ventilation chamber comprises a continuous enclosure from the one or more ventilation ports to the point of exit. 
     
     
         6 . The apparatus of  claim 5 , wherein the ventilation chamber connects to the ventilation pipe at the point of exit. 
     
     
         7 . The apparatus of  claim 6 , wherein the ventilation pipe extends from the exit point to an exhaust fan. 
     
     
         8 . The apparatus of  claim 7 , the extending from the exit point to the exhaust fan including the ventilation pipe travelling through one or more of the room, an attic and an interior of a stud wall. 
     
     
         9 . The apparatus of  claim 8 , the exhaust fan ventilating the odor including ventilating the odor to one or more of an attic and an exterior of a building comprising the room. 
     
     
         10 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein a ventilation port lid covers each of the one or more ventilation ports. 
     
     
         11 . The apparatus of  claim 10 , wherein each ventilation port lid extends inwardly from the upper periphery. 
     
     
         12 . The apparatus of  claim 11 , wherein each ventilation port lid extends downwardly from the upper periphery. 
     
     
         13 . The apparatus of  claim 12 , wherein each ventilation port lid comprises a spherically shaped hood covering the upper half of a corresponding ventilation port. 
     
     
         14 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , comprising a tank containing additional water. 
     
     
         15 . The apparatus of  claim 14 , the dispensing the water and the waste material through a siphon including the tank introducing the additional water into the bowl through a plurality of ports. 
     
     
         16 . The apparatus of  claim 15 , the plurality of ports located in the bowl under and around the lower surface. 
     
     
         17 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the bowl, the base, the ventilation chamber, the one or more ventilation ports and corresponding ventilation port lids are preformed.
