Abstract
An improved toilet seat is presented that uses an electric generator, powerable by batteries, to generate negative ions that are dispersed into the toilet bowl to achieve odor control. The seat is configured like a standard toilet seat and is designed to be low-cost.
Claims4
A toilet seat that generates ionized gases for odor control, the toilet seat comprised of an upper casing and an ionic dispersement casing, the upper casing compatible with the upper surfaces of standard toilet seats,
- the ionic dispersement casing connected in a detachable manner to the upper casing, the ionic dispersement casing and upper casing forming a hollow torus,
- the ionic dispersement casing possessing an inner surface and an outer surface, the ionic dispersement casing outer surface compatible with the outer surfaces of standard toilet seats, the ionic casing outer surface penetrated at a plurality of points with dispersement holes, each of said dispersement holes connecting the ionic dispersement casing inner surface with the ionic dispersement casing outer surface,
- the ionic dispersement casing inner surface having a plurality of ion generators attached fixedly to it, the ion generators comprised of an ion motor, ion distribution conduits, a high-voltage power supply, an activation pedal, and an ion distribution conduit,
- the ion motor comprised of a discharge needle, a capacitor bank and a high-voltage diode,
- the activation pedal for each generator attached to the ionic dispersement casing outer surface, each of said activation pedals connected electrically to the associated ion generator.
