Abstract: An anti-pathogenic hand sanitizing station is disclosed without any need for plumbing to a central water source. The anti-pathogenic hand sanitizing station includes a sink unit having a back wall extending vertically upward from the sink unit, a hand wash station having a supply of fresh water in communication with the free standing anti-pathogenic sink unit, a soap dispenser emanating from the back wall and accessible from the hand sink, a hand sanitizer dispenser, also emanating vertically from back wall and also accessible from the hand sink, a source for disposable towels to dry one's hand after washing; and a waste bin for disposal of disposable products.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for controlling access to and generating revenue from a portable lavatory. The portable lavatory is placed at a predetermined location and a barrier is established around the portable lavatory to block unauthorized access to the portable lavatory. An entrance or passageway is provided through the barrier enabling access to the portable lavatory. Passes are distributed to those individuals desiring to utilize the portable lavatory and upon presentation of the passes to an attendant stationed at the entrance or passageway, the individuals are granted access to the portable lavatory. By charging individuals to obtain a pass the portable lavatory generates revenue.

Abstract: A portable washroom for providing both washing and toilet facilities. The washroom is an enclosure that includes a base, upright supports mounted to the base, wall panels mounted between the upright supports, and a roof mounted to the top of the wall panels. An upward flushing toilet is mounted within the enclosure. The toilet has a waste line extending through one of the wall panels, and out of the enclosure so that waste from the flush toilet and wash basin is flushed outside of the enclosure. A wash basin is mounted within the enclosure and includes a drain line that connects to the toilet bowl waste line. A fresh water supply line extends through one of the wall panels of the enclosure and is fluidically connected to the toilet and to the wash basin for supplying fresh water thereto.

Abstract: A portable toilet shelter that is more stackable and easier to assemble and disassemble. The portable toilet shelter includes a loop enclosure that is mountable to a base, and that is adapted to receive a roof. The loop enclosure includes opposed end walls each having opposed edges. Opposed side walls are positioned between the opposed end walls, with each of the side walls also having opposed edges. Flexible hinges connect the edges of the side walls to respective adjacent edges of the end walls to complete the loop enclosure. The portable toilet shelter is partially disassembled when collapsed to a height of about the thickness of two walls, wherein the end walls fold respectively toward and overlay the side walls. The portable toilet shelter is partially erected when the end walls are unfolded respectively away from the side walls to maintain an upright and self-supporting position.

Abstract: A method for removing pharmaceutical agents from human wastes. Such pharmaceuticals may include their metabolized byproducts, either or both of which may be harmful as a toxin or a carcinogen. The method generally includes the use of a portable human waste containment unit which is configured to serve as a toilet for an individual who has been treated with a pharmaceutical agent. The waste containment unit is preferably configured as a self-contained unit with a separate removable reservoir or plastic reservoir liner, such that it is capable of being sealed for transporting to a facility where human wastes contained within the waste containment unit or its separate reservoir or liner can be appropriately processed. An outer, upper surface of the waste containment unit forms a seat equipped with a cover for sealing the waste containment unit.

Abstract: The invention relates to disinfectant urinal block means useful for collection of pooled urine and method of using the block means to provide in service release, of an antimicrobial agent component from the block means into the pool for effective inhibition of bacterial growth and consequent enzymatic degradation of wanted proteins contained in the pool.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device useful when installed in a urinal for collection of urinary proteins. The adsorbent means includes a conduit for gravity feed passage of urine streams. The conduit has permeable layers in series containing a slow releasing antimicrobial agent and an adsorbent for urinary proteins such that for collection puropses wanted proteins are adsorbed without odor or loss due to bacterial degradation.

Abstract: A shelter adapted for use as a portable toilet having a plurality of upstanding planar wall panels connected along adjacent vertical sides by flexible sheet hinge members. The wall panels, foldably collapsible for ease of shipment, are combined with a removable roof, base member and commode to form a complete portable toilet shelter which may be quickly assembled on site. A number of flexible straps may be positioned underneath the base member and releasably secured to opposing wall members of the shelter in order to secure the base member to the wall unit and increase the stability of the shelter.

Abstract: A shelter specially adapted to function as a portable toilet is disclosed being collapsible for ease of shipment. Inefficiencies of shipping fully assembled portable toilet shelters are eliminated by a modular construction shelter having foldable walls, a removable roof, base member and commode.

Abstract: Pharmaceutically useful trace elements contained in human urine are collected by disposing a filter body containing an adsorbent for the trace elements in the gravity flow line connecting the unflushed urinal of a portable toilet to its holding tank. The portable toilet also includes a seat connected to the holding tank by a separate gravity feed line. The holding tank contains an odor reducing chemical solution for the urine and fesces. A filter body supported in the conduit between the urinal and the holding tank consists of an adsorbent for the trace constituents of the urine that it is desired to extract. Urine voided into the urinal passes through the adsorbent filter body before going to the holding tank. When the holding tank of the portable toilet is pumped clean and the deoderizing solution replaced, the filter body is removed and processed to extract the trace constituents replaced with an unsaturated filter body.
