Abstract:
A removable ventilation and filtration apparatus for a conventional flushing toilet having a rim and a seat secured to said rim. The configuration allows for the intake of malodorous gases and the elimination of such odors by means of an elongated opening, situated between a gap commonly found between a toilet seat and rim, and a down-flow active filtration assembly utilizing a pressure-based air treatment and flow configuration by encompassing a switch-activated exhaust fan on at least one side of a deodorizing filter, thereby creating a space of negative pressure that intakes foul air through the elongated opening. The foul air is thereafter pulled into and through the deodorizing filter and an anti-microbial filter, and subsequently cleansed air is pulled therefrom. The cleansed air is then released into the immediate vicinity through an exhaust-opening. The apparatus is secured to the toilet bowl by use of an adjustable hanging bracket.

Claim (Index 7):
The apparatus of  claim 6 , wherein said means for activating the fan comprises a pressure switch assembly consisting of a pressure switch and at least one spring, said pressure switch assembly configured for positioning above the rim of the toilet bowl and below the toilet seat, and for activating said fan of the apparatus when a person applies pressure to said toilet seat.
