Abstract
A toilet bowl deodorizer device which is connectable to an existing toilet, and which effectively and inexpensively provides for deodorization without affecting operation of the toilet. The first preferred embodiment of the present invention is composed of a deodorizer unit containing a motor, an optimized turbine with associated internal ducting, and a replaceable filter, which may include a perfume; a tank access duct having a universal fitting for removably connecting to the deodorizing unit; a passive relief valve member; and a tank top seal system upon which the lid may rest independently thereof. The second preferred embodiment of the present invention is composed of a deodorizer unit containing a motor, an optimized turbine with associated internal ducting, and a replaceable filter, which may include a perfume; and a ductwork located adjacent the back of the seat having a universal fitting for removably connecting to the deodorizing unit. In either embodiment, a transformer is provided remotely with respect to the toilet in order to convert line voltage to a safe, no-shockable voltage (under 28 volts) which is then delivered to the deodorizing unit. Further, a seat switch may be optionally connected in series with an electrical switch mounted to the deodorizing unit in order to provide for passive operation whenever a user sits upon the seat.
