  • Patent number: 7032255
    Abstract: A waste holding tank for a mobile sanitary toilet system includes a base section, a bowl section supported by the base section and a waste holding tank. The tank includes a housing defining a tank interior and a tank exterior. A vent opening is located at a first location of the housing. The opening forms a fluid communication between the interior and the exterior of the tank. A vent conduit connects the vent opening on the tank exterior at the first location with the exterior of the tank at a second location of the housing. The vent conduit leads at least partly through the interior of the tank without being in fluid communication with the interior of the tank.
