Claim 3:
4. A toilet dehumidifier assembly for mounting a dehumidifier to a toilet, said assembly comprising:
a toilet tank lid having an opening extending through said toilet lid, said toilet tank lid being positionable on a toilet tank, said toilet tank lid having a top surface and a bottom surface, said opening extending through said top surface and said bottom surface, said toilet tank having a plurality of holes each extending through said top surface and said bottom surface, said plurality of holes being distributed around said opening;
a dehumidifier being attachable to said toilet tank lid wherein said dehumidifier is configured to remove moisture from ambient air surrounding the toilet tank, said dehumidifier being aligned with said opening in said toilet, tank lid wherein said dehumidifier is configured to drain water into the toilet tank, said dehumidifier having a bottom wall, said dehumidifier having an exhaust being integrated into said bottom wall wherein said exhaust is configured to drain the water from said dehumidifier, said bottom wall resting on said top surface of said toilet tank lid having said exhaust being aligned with said opening in said toilet tank lid;
a plurality of fasteners, each of said fasteners being extendable through a respective one of said holes in said toilet tank lid, each of said fasteners engaging said bottom wall of said dehumidifier for retaining said dehumidifier on said top surface of said toilet tank lid;
a container being positionable inside the toilet tank wherein said container is configured to capture the water drained from said dehumidifier, said container having an outer wall, said outer wall having a front side and a back side, said outer wall having a top edge defining an opening into said container, said top edge corresponding to said front side having a curved section which curves downwardly and away from said hack side to define a spout wherein said spout is configured to facilitate overflowing water to run into the toilet tank; and
a pair of grapples, each of said grapples being coupled to and extending away from said back side of said outer wall of said container, each of said grapples comprising a central portion extending between a first outward portion and a second outward portion having each of said first outward portion and said second outward portion being oriented perpendicular to said central portion such that each of said grapples has a U-shape, said first outward portion of each of said grapples being coupled to said back side of said outer wall having said second outward portion of each of said grapples being spaced from and extending downwardly along said back side of said outer wall thereby facilitating each of said grapples to engage a top edge of the toilet tank having said central portion of each of said grapples resting on the top edge, said central portion of each of said grapples being spaced upwardly from said distal edge of said outer wall of said container, said container being positionable such that said container is aligned with said opening in said toilet tank lid when said toilet tank lid is positioned on the toilet tank.
