Abstract:
A system for removing malodors from a toilet is described herein. The system has a seat base that is placed on top of a toilet bowl, and an air purifying device fluidly coupled to the seat base. An air drawing component of the air purifying device suctions the malodors, which flow through a channel into an air intake of the seat base, exits through an air outtake, and is directed into an air filtration component. The air filtration component filters the malodors to produce filtered air that is released into the surrounding environment.

Claim (Index 11):
An odor removal system ( 100 ) for removing malodors from a toilet ( 5 ), said system ( 100 ) comprising:\n a. a seat base ( 110 ) comprising a base housing ( 120 ) having a flange ( 1120 ) projecting perpendicularly from an interior edge ( 121 ) of the base housing, an air intake ( 127 ) disposed on an inner side surface ( 1121 ) of the flange ( 1120 ) at or near a terminal edge ( 1122 ) of the flange ( 1120 ), and an air outtake ( 128 ) disposed on an exterior edge ( 122 ) of the base housing and fluidly coupled to the air intake ( 127 ); and b. an air purifying device ( 150 ) fluidly coupled to the air outtake ( 128 ) of the base housing, said air purifying device ( 150 ) comprising an air filtration component ( 152 ), an air drawing component ( 154 ) fluid coupled to the air filtration component ( 152 ), and a power switch ( 156 ) operatively coupled to the air drawing component ( 154 ) for turning the air drawing component ( 154 ) on and off, wherein the seat base ( 110 ) is adapted to be placed on a toilet bowl ( 10 ) such that a bottom surface ( 124 ) of the base housing is contacting a top surface ( 16 ) of the toilet bowl ( 10 ) and the flange ( 1120 ) hangs from an inner toilet bowl rim ( 14 ) of the toilet bowl so that the inner side surface ( 1121 ) and air intake ( 127 ) of the flange ( 1120 ) faces an interior surface ( 18 ) of the toilet bowl, wherein a channel ( 148 ) is formed between the interior surface ( 18 ) of the toilet bowl and air intake ( 127 ) so as to allow air flow into the air intake ( 127 ).
