Abstract

An environmentally-friendly toilet for that is waterless, odorless and cost efficient, that uses specially-lined bags that kill pathogens and are sealed and released into a base section, which is connected to a hard plastic sitting unit, forming an integral, closed system for portable, waterless sanitation in mobile environments.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
The invention claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method for providing portable waterless sanitation for mobile environments comprising the steps of:
 providing a waterless toilet system comprising a top seating unit matingly connected to a bottom receiving container, the top seating unit further comprising a bag cartridge with a continuous tube, that feeds into a mechanical sealer, the mechanical sealer sealing the bag;   advancing the continuous tube;   activating the mechanical sealer to seal a first end of the tube to form a bag;   filling the bag with waste;   activating the mechanical sealer to completely enclose the waste within the bag by sealing a second end of the bag;   advancing the filled bag downwardly into the bottom receiving container and advancing the continuous tube.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the mobile environment includes planes, trains, automobiles, buses, ships, and spacecraft. 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1 , the mechanical sealer further perforating the bag along the seal to create a tearable perforation. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 3 , further including the step of the sealed, filled bag tearing along the perforation and dropping into the bottom receiving container. 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 3 , further including the step of activating the mechanical sealer and advancing the filled bag with a spring-loaded foot pedal, thereby providing a waterless faux-flushing action. 
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the tube includes adhesive. 
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the tube includes adhesive dots about 12 inches apart on the horizontal. 
     
     
         8 . A system for providing portable, waterless sanitation for mobile environments comprising a waterless toilet comprising: a top seating unit matingly connected to a bottom receiving container, the top seating unit further comprising a bag cartridge including a continuous tube that feeds into a mechanical sealer; wherein the mechanical sealer completely seals a waste-filled portion of the continuous tube to form a sealed bag, and advances the sealed bag into the bottom receiving container, thereby providing a portable, sanitary, waterless waste disposal system. 
     
     
         9 . The system of  claim 8 , wherein the mobile environment includes planes, trains, automobiles, buses, ships, and spacecraft. 
     
     
         10 . The system of  claim 8 , wherein the tube includes adhesive. 
     
     
         11 . The system of  claim 8 , wherein the tube includes adhesive dots about 12 inches apart on the horizontal for sealing the bag. 
     
     
         12 . The system of  claim 8 , wherein the mechanical sealer perforates the bag along the seal such that the tube tears along the sealed perforation.
