Abstract
The subject of the present invention is a specially shaped toilet which prevents the diffusion of contaminated “aerosol” into the environment by sucking it directly from the toilet basin by means of an electric aspirator placed inside the toilet itself, and expelling it into the sewer pipe through specially fitted ducts.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modified1 . An improved toilet equipped with a vacuum cleaner, comprising:
a suction intake appropriate for sucking away bad smells and gas containing aerosol bacteria or viruses present in a toilet basin during use; an outlet made in such a manner as to convey vacuumed aerosol into an intake duct connecting the toilet with a sewer; at least one aspirator connected through appropriate ducts to the intake duct and an exhaust duct; at least one one-way valve located along the exhaust duct or along the intake duct; and devices and means for activating the aspirator.
2 . The improved toilet equipped with the vacuum cleaner of claim 1 , wherein:
the suction intake which provides communication between toilet basin and intake; a suction duct which connects to the suction intake, through which the suction duct vacuums away the water and aerosol bacteria or virus mixture present in the toilet basin and the suction duct by means of an electric aspirator; an electric aspirator which connects to the suction duct and the at least one aspirator, and the exhaust duct which connects to the electric aspirator joined through the outlet to the exhaust duct which opens into the sewer network.
3 . The improved toilet equipped with the vacuum cleaner of claim 2 , further comprising a button for activating the electric aspirator.
4 . The improved toilet equipped with the vacuum cleaner of claim 3 , further comprising pressure sensors which detect weight on a toilet seat, and which activate the electric aspirator responsively to detecting the weight.
5 . The improved toilet equipped with the vacuum cleaner of claim 4 , further comprising photoelectric cells which activate the aspirator in the presence of a person.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
