Plain English Summary
This patent covers a toilet filtration system that captures and filters harmful airborne particles released when toilets flush. The system uses specially designed toilet seats and lids with built-in filters, plus automatic disinfectant sprayers inside the toilet bowl. It helps prevent the spread of infectious diseases in public restrooms and can be installed on existing toilets.
Full Description
This patent describes an innovative toilet filtration and disinfection system designed to protect users from infectious airborne particles generated during toilet flushing. The system features modified toilet seats and lids with circumferentially arranged grooves that house specialized air filtration units, creating airtight seals to filter expelled air. The technology also includes an internal disinfectant dispersing mechanism with spray nozzles positioned throughout the toilet bowl enclosure. The system addresses critical public health concerns by providing comprehensive protection against airborne pathogens in restroom environments. Commercial applications include hospitals, schools, office buildings, restaurants, airports, and other high-traffic facilities where infectious disease control is paramount. The modular design allows for retrofitting existing toilets and urinals, making it suitable for both new construction and facility upgrades. The automated disinfection features reduce manual cleaning requirements while enhancing sanitation standards.
