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 1):
An odor removal system ( 100 ) for removing malodors from a toilet ( 5 ), said system ( 100 ) comprising:\n a. a seat base ( 110 ) configured to be placed on a back end ( 12 ) of a toilet bowl ( 10 ), said seat base ( 110 ) comprising:\n i. a base housing ( 120 ) having an air intake ( 127 ) disposed on an interior edge ( 121 ) of the base housing, said interior edge ( 121 ) adapted to be positioned at or adjacent to an inner toilet bowl rim ( 14 ) of the toilet bowl, and an air outtake ( 128 ) disposed on an exterior edge ( 122 ) of the base housing and fluidly coupled to the air intake ( 127 ); and \n ii. a toilet seat connector ( 130 ) disposed on a top surface ( 123 ) of the base housing; \n b. a toilet seat ( 140 ) pivotably connected to the base housing ( 120 ) via the toilet seat connector ( 130 ), wherein the toilet seat ( 140 ) has a lip ( 142 ) disposed on an inner rim ( 144 ) of the toilet seat and projecting outwardly from an underside surface ( 146 ) of the toilet seat, wherein when the toilet seat ( 140 ) is in a closed position such that the toilet seat ( 140 ) is parallel to the base housing ( 120 ), the lip ( 142 ) is configured to overlap the air intake ( 127 ) of the base housing and form a channel ( 148 ) between the lip ( 142 ) and air intake ( 127 ) so as to allow air flow into the air intake ( 127 ); and c. 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.
