Ventilated toilet

An improved ventilated toilet, comprising:

• a water tank, the water tank configured to contain a volume of water that can be released by a user;
• a bowl, wherein the bowl comprises a water inlet chamber, and at least one water channel, the water inlet chamber and the at least one water channel being fluidly connected to the water tank and configured to channel water into the bowl when the volume of water in the water tank is released by the user, and to provide an conduit for odors present in the bowl to be removed from the bowl;
• a ventilation conduit, the ventilation conduit providing a passage for odors present in the toilet to be removed from the bowl to the atmosphere outside an enclosure in which the ventilated toilet is situated;
• wherein the water tank further comprises:
• a fluid chamber, the fluid chamber configured to hold the volume of water;
• a vent channel, the vent channel comprising a ventilation cavity, the ventilation cavity configured to provide a conduit between the bowl and the ventilations conduit, operative to remove odors present in the ventilated toilet;
• a first valve, the first valve secured to the fluid chamber and moveable between a closed position and an open position, such that when the first valve is in the closed position, the volume of water in the fluid chamber is substantially prevented from flowing into the bowl, and wherein when the first valve is in the open position substantially the entire volume of water in the water tank is released into the bowl;
• a second valve, the second valve providing a fluid connection between the first valve and the bowl, and further providing atmospheric communication of the bowl with the vent channel and ventilation conduit;
• an actuator, the actuator comprising a trip lever configured to move the first valve from the closed position to the open position, thereby permitting water to be released from the water tank into the bowl.
