Abstract:
A ventilated commode device for removing odorous vapors from the immediate vicinity of said device into a sewer line, said device comprising:a seat including: a rounded perimeter defining a hollow center, said perimeter for receiving a portion of a user's buttocks; a footer gasket attached around a portion of the bottom of said seat; a plurality of input vent holes positioned along said seat between said footer gasket and the inside edge of said perimeter; an output vent hole positioned at the rear portion of said seat; and an internal air passageway formed within said seat, said air passageway is in fluid communications with said plurality of input vent holes and with said output vent hole; a hinge connected to said seat, said hinge including: a cross bar having: at least one flange connected to said seat; an intake orifice in fluid communications with said output vent hole of said seat; an internal airway within said cross bar, said internal airway in fluid communication with said intake orifice of said cross bar; and an output orifice in at least one end of said cross bar, said output orifice in said one end of said cross bar in fluid communications with said internal airway of said cross bar; a pair of mounting shafts, each mounting shaft having: a concave collar on the side of each respective mounting shaft, wherein said concave collar of each respective mounting shaft is rotatably attached to a corresponding end of said cross bar; and a hollow core in each respective mounting shaft, at least one mounting shaft having an intake hole within said concave collar of said mounting shaft having said intake hole, â€ƒsaid intake hole of said mounting shaft having said intake hole in fluid communications with said hollow core of said mounting shaft having said intake hole; â€ƒsaid intake hole of said mounting shaft having said intake hole in fluid communications with said corresponding output orifice in said one end of said cross bar; a pair of mounting bolts, each mounting bolt having a threaded distal end, each respective mounting bolt is attached into said hollow core of each corresponding mounting shaft, at least one mounting bolt having a hollow cavity, said mounting bolt having said hollow cavity having an intake port and an exit port, said intake and exit ports of said mounting bolt having said hollow cavity in fluid communications with said hollow cavity of said mounting bolt having said hollow cavity, said intake port of said mounting bolt having said hollow cavity in fluid communications with said intake hole of said mounting shaft having said intake hole; a toilet bowl having a mouth and a back, said toilet bowl including: a waste water drainage network in fluid communications with the sewer line; a pair of bolt holes, each respective bolt hole having a corresponding threaded nut imbedded within said toilet bowl near the distal end of each respective bolt hole, each threaded nut of each respective bolt hole is screw fitted to the threaded distal end of each corresponding mounting bolt of said hinge, at least one bolt hole having an open input portal at the distal end of said bolt hole having said open input portal, said open input portal of said bolt hole having said open input portal in fluid communications with said exit port of said mounting bolt having said hollow cavity; a hollow chamber fluidly connected to said open input portal of said at least bolt hole having said open input portal, said hollow chamber having: an air intake tube having an input end and an output end, said input end of said air intake tube is attached to said open input portal of said bolt hole having said open input portal, said air intake tube in fluid communications with said open input portal of said bolt hole having said open input portal; an outlet portal which is in fluid communications with the bottom portion of said waste water drainage network; an air pump attached to said toilet bowl, said air pump having an inlet port and an outlet port, said inlet port of said air pump attached to said output end of said air intake tube, said air pump in fluid communications with said air intake tube; a transformer attached to said air pump, said transformer electrically connected to said air pump; an electrical cable attached the proximate end of said electrical cable to said transformer, said electrical cable is electrically connected to said transformer, the distal end of said electrical cable is electrically connectable to a power source; and an air discharge tube having a first end and a second end, said first end of said air discharge tube attached to said outlet port of said air pump, said air discharge tube in fluid communications with said air pump, said second end of said air discharge tube is attached to said outlet portal of said hollow chamber, said air discharge tube in fluid communications with the bottom portion of said waste water drainage network, thereby said a plurality of input vent holes in said seat are in fluid communications with said sewer line.
