Patent number: 8091157Abstract: A modular portable cabana-type restroom includes a roof, base platform, foot portions, side wall panels, a back wall panel, four corner portions and a door. The side wall panels and back wall panel are provided with vertically-disposed hooks for interlocking with complementary slots along the edges of the corner portions. The roof is provided with clips for engaging the corner portions. This permits convenient interlocking removable assembly of the wall panels, corner portions and roof without the use of mechanical fasteners, such as rivets, screws or nuts and bolts. Recesses in the foot portions accept the insertion of the corner portions and corners of the base portion, which are then secured together through formed apertures using a minimum number of mechanical fasteners. This provides for easy assembly and disassembly of the restroom for transport, repair and storage.Type: GrantFiled: February 25, 2009Date of Patent: January 10, 2012Assignee: PolyJohn Enterprises CorporationInventors: Daniel G.

Patent number: 6427256Abstract: A knockdown portable toilet cabana comprises substantially identical panels forming opposite, vertical side walls and a rear wall, and a front panel having an access opening with a door covering the opening and hingedly connected to the front panel. The lower edges of the panels are engaged with a floor forming base and a covering roof is arranged at the upper ends of the panels. The lower edges of the panels and the corresponding peripheral edges of the base are provided with interconnecting channels and tongues for releaseably attaching, and for detaching the panels and the base. The upper edges of the panels and the corresponding edges of the roof are provided with releaseable connectors for attaching and detaching the roof from the panels. Elongated channel members frictionally engage and releaseably connect together the adjacent vertical edges of the panels. A toilet waste holding tank is removably positioned within the cabana.Type: GrantFiled: October 26, 2000Date of Patent: August 6, 2002Assignee: PolyJohn Enterprises CorporationInventors: Rodney M.

Patent number: 5244109Abstract: A first part of a plastic lid for a garbage container made of metal is secured by a standardized hinge adapter which is installed on one edge of the container. A second part of the plastic lid is slidably adjustable into and out of mating engagement with the first part to form the lid of a selected length. Three different sizes of the second part make the lid fit virtually all known containers. Depending upon the size of the container, two of the two-part slidably adjustable lids may be required to be placed next to each other in order to cover the entire opening in the container. Also, a central bar may be arranged between the two two-part slidably adjustable lids.Type: GrantFiled: September 18, 1992Date of Patent: September 14, 1993Assignee: Poly-John Enterprises, Inc.Inventors: Rodney M.

Patent number: 4922557Abstract: The waste material holding tank located within a portable, outdoor toilet cabana is vented to atmosphere by a vent pipe extending upwardly from the tank to the roof of the toilet cabana. A small, electrical blower fan is mounted upon the upper, open end of the vent pipe for sucking air from the holding tank and blowing the air to outside atmosphere. A solar energy panel is mounted upon the roof of the cabana near the fan and is electrically connected to the fan. The panel generates electrical energy in response to a predetermined level of sunlight for electrically energizing the fan. Thus, the fan circulates air through the holding tank during the items that the sun is shining upon the cabana, to reduce the solar heat build-up in the holding tank for reducing the generation of noxious odors caused by heat induced reactions in the waste material in the tank.Type: GrantFiled: March 8, 1989Date of Patent: May 8, 1990Assignee: Poly-John Enterprises Corp.Inventors: George W.
