Stabilizer system for free-standing portable structure

Abstract

A stabilizer system facilitates assembly of portable toilets at any location without need for attachment of the portable toilet to rigid stationary. Two square or rectangular tubular runners, permanently attached to the portable toilet, provide structural stability. The two runners have apertures of substantially equal size. A master stake having an aperture at its proximal end is pounded into the ground so that the aperture extends above ground. A control arm is inserted through apertures of the two runners and the master stake aperture, such that the master stake aperture is set between the two runner apertures. The fulcrum denial feature provided by the master stake and control arm enhance structural stability of the unit. The portable toilet is secured to the ground without front to back or side-to-side movement or tipping due to denial of leverage caused by the incorporation of the master stake and control arm.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 ) A stabilizer system for a free standing portable toilet structure, comprising:
 a) a portable toilet having two substantially rectangular runners permanently attached at the bottom, one at each end, of the portable toilet;   b) said portable toilet being structurally strong and capable of being slid on the ground, riding on the flat external surface of the two runners at the bottom of the portable toilet;   c) said two runners each having an equal sized aperture provided in a metallic insert at substantially equal distance from the front end of said portable toilet;   d) a master stake having a pointed sharp end and an aperture at the end that is distal from the pointed end having a diameter slightly larger than that of the runner apertures;   e) said master stake being adapted to be pounded into ground and firmly fixed therein at a depth such that the aperture extends above the ground; and   f) a control arm inserted through the apertures of said two runners and the aperture of said master stake;   whereby said portable toilet is secured to the ground with the runners contacting the ground, and said master stake and control arm are operative to prevent side to side or front to back movement or tipping of said portable toilet, so that securement of said free standing portable toilet is accomplished without need for external posts or other forms of supports.   
     
     
         2 ) The stabilizer system for a free standing portable toilet structure as recited by  claim 1 , wherein said runner has a square shape. 
     
     
         3 ) The stabilizer system for a free standing portable toilet structure as recited by  claim 1 , wherein said runner has a rectangular shape. 
     
     
         4 ) The stabilizer system for a free standing portable toilet structure as recited by  claim 1 , wherein said aperture in the runner has a diameter of 1″. 
     
     
         5 ) The stabilizer system for a free standing portable toilet structure as recited by  claim 1 , wherein said aperture in the master stake has a diameter of 1.25″. 
     
     
         6 ) The stabilizer system for a free standing portable toilet structure as recited by  claim 1 , wherein the metallic insert is a bronze bushing. 
     
     
         7 ) The stabilizer system for a free standing portable toilet structure as recited by  claim 1 , wherein said portable toilet has a removable bottom for easy assembly during installation.
