Abstract

A portable waste disposal apparatus includes a stand (100) for receiving a portable bowl (120, 220, 230, 420, 520) and a waste container (110, 310). The portable bowl (120, 220, 230, 420, 520) includes a receiving port (255) and a disposal port (260). A disposal port cover (270, 570) permits waste to pass when the cover (270, 570) is in an open position. Actuation of the disposal port cover (270, 370) is independent of pressure within the portable bowl (120, 220, 230, 420, 520). In various embodiments, the cover (270, 570) slides or pivots between the open and closed positions. A method of disposing of waste includes receiving the waste into the portable bowl (120, 220, 230, 420, 520) through the receiving port (225). The portable bowl (120, 220, 230, 420, 520) is positioned to receive toilet purging fluid through the receiving port (255) when placed within a toilet (490, 590. Flushing the fixed toilet (490, 590) discharges the received purging fluid and waste through the disposal port (260) of the portable bowl (120, 220, 230, 420, 520).

Claims (20)

1. A portable waste disposal apparatus comprising:
a portable bowl (220) having a receiving port (255) to receive waste and a disposal port (260) to discharge waste; and a disposal port cover (270), wherein waste is permitted to pass through the disposal port when the cover is in an open position, wherein waste is prevented from passing through the disposal port when the cover is in a closed position, wherein actuation of the disposal port cover is independent of pressure within the portable bowl.
2. The apparatus of claim 1 further comprising:
a waste container (110) for receiving the portable bowl.
3. The apparatus of claim 2 further comprising:
a stand (100) for receiving the waste container.
4. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the disposal port cover forms a one-way valve for passing waste substantially only in one direction through the disposal port when the valve is open.
5. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the disposal port cover slides between the open and closed positions.
6. The apparatus of claim 5 further comprising a pull (540) coupled to the disposal port cover to facilitate sliding the disposal port cover between the open and closed positions.
7. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the disposal port cover pivots between the open and closed positions.
8. The apparatus in claim 1 wherein the portable bowl further comprises a handle (230).
9. The apparatus in claim 1, wherein the portable bowl is constructed of a flexible material to enable a shape of at least a portion of an exterior surface of the portable bowl to conform to a corresponding complementary portion of the interior surface of a fixed toilet bowl.
10. The apparatus in claim 1, wherein at least a portion of the exterior of the portable bowl has a shape complementary to a corresponding interior surface of a fixed toilet bowl.
11. A method of waste disposal, comprising the steps of:
a) receiving waste through a receiving port (255) of a portable bowl (220);
b) positioning the portable bowl to receive toilet purging fluid through the receiving port when placed within a toilet (490); and c) flushing the toilet to discharge the received purging fluid and waste through a disposal port (260) of the portable bowl.
12. The method of claim 11 further comprising the step of:
d) opening the disposal port before step c).
13. The method of claim 12 wherein step d) further comprises the step of pivoting a disposal port cover (270) to an open position.
14. The method of claim 12 wherein step d) further comprises the step of sliding a disposal port cover (270) to an open position.
15. The method of claim 11 wherein step b) further comprises the step of:
i) transporting the portable bowl to the toilet, wherein the portable bowl is substantially disposed within a waste container (110) during transport.
16. The method of claim 15 wherein step b) further comprises the step of:
ii) moving the portable bowl from the waste container to the toilet.
17. The method of claim 11 further comprising the step of:
e) closing the disposal port.
18. The method of claim 17 wherein step e) further comprises the step of pivoting a disposal port cover (270) to a closed position.
19. The method of claim 13 wherein step e) further comprises the step of sliding a disposal port cover (270) to a closed position.
20. The method of claim 11 further comprising the step of:
