Toilet Seat Cleaner

Abstract

A toilet seat cleaner built into a hollow toilet interior and left and right hollow wing portions. One wing contains a cleaning solution and venturi valve. The other wing contains a forced air assembly. The perimeter of the top of the seat includes a raised portion having water and air outlet apertures. When the toilet is flushed, pressurized water to flows into the venturi valve and into an enclosed channel within the seat causing cleaning solution to be drawn into the stream of water and forced out of the water outlet apertures. When cleaning is complete, the forced air assembly forces into the channel and out of the air outlet apertures. The cleaning action is started when a flow sensor sees that the toilet has been flushed. The toilet seat is hinged and can be lifted in the same way as a standard toilet seat.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . Toilet seat cleaner comprising:
 a hollow toilet seat having left and right oriented hollow wing portions;   a toilet seat base panel;   a cleaning solution reservoir;   a forced air assembly;   a solenoid valve;   a pressure switch;   a venturi valve;   a Y junction housing having tubular legs;   a plurality of connecting hoses;   a plurality of LEDs;   a water flow sensor;   a microprocessor;   a power cord and plug;   said toilet seat base panel enclosing said hollow portion of said hollow toilet seat;   said hollow toilet seat top surface having a raised perimeter portion that includes a plurality of inwardly facing air and liquid outlets;   said hollow toilet seat also having an internal enclosed channel aligned with said raised perimeter portion capable of transporting forced air or liquid;   said left hollow wing containing said liquid reservoir and said venturi valve;   said right hollow wing containing said forced air assembly and said rechargeable battery;   said pressure switch located on the front lower portion of said toilet seat base panel;   said solenoid valve enclosed within a said Y junction housing;   the lower tubular leg of said Y junction housing attachable to a standard bathroom water outlet bib;   the upper left tubular leg of said Y junction attached to a said connecting hose that leads to the water reservoir portion of a standard toilet;   the upper right tubular leg of said Y junction attached to a said connecting hose that leads to said solenoid valve;   said Y junction also including a water flow sensor;   water exiting said standard water outlet bib being allowed to flow either when said flow sensor senses that the toilet has been flushed, or when said pressure switch has been activated due to the weight of the user being lifted from said toilet seat;   said liquid cleaning reservoir exit port connected to said venturi valve;   said solenoid valve connected at one side to said water inlet hose and on the opposite side to said venturi valve;   said liquid cleaning reservoir containing cleaning solution that is drawn into the center portion of said venturi valve so that when pressurized water flows through said venturi valve, said cleaning solution is drawn into the stream, through said enclosed channel and out of said inwardly facing air and liquid outlets;   said forced air assembly being turned on after said cleaning solution has cleaned the top surface of said toilet seat;   said microprocessor controlling the time period that said solenoid valve is open and controlling the time that said forced air assembly is operating;   said power cord and plug capable of plugging into 110 VAC power to supply power to said solenoid valve, said forced air assembly and other electronic components;   a portion of said LEDs placed on the outer perimeter of the underside of said toilet seat causing a glow around the perimeter of said toilet seat; and   another portion of said LEDs placed on the inner perimeter of the underside of said toilet seat causing the interior of a toilet to be illuminated.   
     
     
         2 . A toilet seat cleaner as claimed in  claim 1  further comprising a flexible heating pad that wraps around said water hose that travels from said solenoid valve to said venturi valve causing said cleaning solution to be warm when in cleaning mode. 
     
     
         3 . A toilet seat cleaner as claimed in  claim 1  further comprising a heating element that resides in the hollow portion of said toilet seat causing said toilet seat to become warm during use. 
     
     
         4 . A toilet seat cleaner as claimed in  claim 1  wherein said forced air assembly includes a fan and a heating element capable of blowing hot air onto the surface of said toilet seat. 
     
     
         5 . A toilet seat cleaner as claimed in  claim 1  wherein said toilet seat is hinged at the rear in the same way as a standard toilet seat and is capable of being lifted in the same way as a standard toilet seat. 
     
     
         6 . A toilet seat cleaner as claimed in  claim 1  further comprising a rechargeable battery to power said electrical components in place of said 110 VAC power. 
     
     
         7 . A toilet seat cleaner as claimed in  claim 1  further comprising a push button switch allowing a person to manually engage the said liquid cleaning and air-drying functions.
