Abstract
A toilet seat ventilation assembly for mounting on a toilet bowl includes a seat having a and air passageway and plurality of vent holes formed in the seat. A tubular manifold is rotatably secured in mounting fixtures at the rear of the toilet seat. The toilet seat is rotatably secured to the manifold by hinges having a passageway for communicating air from the toilet seat to the inlet of the manifold. The mounting fixtures have a passageway for communicating air from the outlet of the manifold to an exhaust conduit. The toilet seat cover has hinges for connecting the toilet seat cover to the manifold in a fixed manner. Pivoting the toilet cover between a horizontal position and a vertical position causes the manifold to rotate within the toilet seat hinges and the mounting fixtures. The inlets and outlets of the manifold are configured so that air from around the toilet bowl is communicated into and out of the manifold to an external vent when the toilet cover is in the vertical position and the toilet seat is in a horizontal position.
