  • Method and apparatus for disposing of waste
    Patent number: 6802085
    Abstract: A portable waste disposal apparatus includes a stand for receiving a portable bowl and a waste container. The portable bowl includes a receiving port and a disposal port. A disposal port cover permits waste to pass when the cover is in an open position. Waste is prevented from passing through the disposal port when the cover is in a closed position. Actuation of the disposal port cover is independent of pressure within the portable bowl (e.g., due to waste, water, or purging fluid). In various embodiments, the cover slides or pivots between the open and closed positions. A method of disposing of waste includes the step of receiving waste into the portable bowl through the receiving port. The portable bowl is positioned to receive toilet purging fluid through the receiving port when placed within a toilet. The toilet is flushed to discharge the received purging fluid and waste through the disposal port of the portable bowl.
