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-modifiedThe 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.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
