Technical Field

The present invention relates to portable toilets and, more particularly, to portable toilets that are typically poured into permanently fixed residential, commercial, or institutional toilets. Toddlers are trained to use conventional toilet bowls with child bedpans, and individuals with ambulatory medical problems use bedside bedpans and bedpans while in commercial medical facilities and residential medical care. All of these products are typically equipped with a structure that supports a seated (or standing) person's waste as they are discharged into a waste receptacle (which is typically centered within the housing structure). All of them have in common the need for cleaning, usually by first pouring the waste container into a stationary toilet bowl. The residual waste in the waste receptacle must then be cleaned with a cleaning water source and poured again into the stationary toilet bowl.

Background art (discussion of the prior art)

There are at least three prior art techniques (one actually on the market and two claimed) that can be adapted to clean these products. The first is a manual cleaning unit having a removable waste receptacle within a structural support designed for a person to sit on to discharge their waste when toilet service is required. For example, U.S. patent No. 5,083,325 discloses a portable toilet in the simulated form of an automobile. After the discharge of the waste therein, the waste container is removed from the structural support, carried and poured into a stationary toilet of a residence or public establishment. This faecal container is then carried to a clean water source (usually a sink or bath toilet floor) to place clean water therein. Now with the cleaning water in the waste receptacle, the waste receptacle is carried back to the toilet bowl, shaken to aid cleaning and then poured into the toilet bowl again. The waste receptacle may have to be transported back and forth to the toilet and to a clean water source in order to flush, shake and pour into a stationary toilet several times until the waste receptacle is cleaned. Once the faecal container has been cleaned, the nursing staff will normally have fresh water in it. This is because the presence of cleaning water in the receptacle prior to the ingress of excrement into the receptacle limits the ability of the incoming excrement to stick to the receptacle, thereby making it easier for the caregiver to clean the receptacle. The waste container is then placed back into the support structure and is ready for reuse.

a) This process is very laborious because (depending on the composition of the bodily waste) many times the cleaning process requires that the caregiver carry an open waste receptacle containing human waste back and forth from the cleaning surface to the toilet bowl.

b) In addition, placing water into a soiled open waste container at the sink and carrying the container and pouring it into the toilet bowl presents a potential risk of spillage of the waste.

c) Both the patient and the caregiver can be embarrassed by the vision and smell resulting from this manual cleaning process.

A second prior art is the purported portable self-cleaning bodily waste receptacle, which consists of a fluid-tight reservoir container forming a closed open space. A toilet bowl element is embedded within the container. The container has a fill opening and a fill cap. Water or an excrement cleaning fluid or a combination of both is poured into the container through the filling lid so that it fills the container reservoir around the underside and sides of the toilet bowl element. An enclosed battery-powered waterproof pump is placed within the container, and a guide hose extends from the pump through the container space and outside the container to the toilet bowl elements. When the toilet bowl element requires cleaning, a pump is activated by a manual switch, the pump pumping under pressure a waste cleaning fluid through and out of the hose, wherein the waste cleaning fluid is sprayed into the toilet bowl element to clean the toilet bowl element. A discharge valve is provided at a bottom surface of the toilet bowl element for discharging bodily waste and cleaning fluid. It has a second embodiment; a bladder is located in the reservoir container for providing water or waste cleaning fluid under pressure to the toilet element. In another embodiment, this pressurized bladder system is in the bowl receptacle.

a) This product clearly has not experienced market success. There is no mention of where the waste is cleaned from the toilet element.

b) It also costs batteries and electric waterproof motors.

The third is the purported device for disposing of bodily waste in a portable toilet into a conventional toilet in a stationary residence or public institution (see U.S. patent numbers 5,907,874, 5,638,555 and 5,615,420) and has never experienced market success. It comprises a receptacle and associated hollow housing structure adapted to sit on a conventional toilet bowl. The waste in the container is dumped into the toilet via the cable mechanism on the suction stroke of the manual pump. Prior to operation of the pump, the water inlet hose is manually lowered into the toilet water via a hose control handle. When the container is in the upright dump position, the discharge stroke of the pump forces water siphoned from the toilet through the jet outlet to clean the interior of the container. The waste and toilet water in the receptacle is discharged directly into the bowl without hitting the hollow housing structure. The container automatically returns to its resting or horizontal position due to the action of the return spring.

a) It has been found that the discharge stroke of the pump is dependent on the strength of the arm of the person and that even in the best case the water does not have sufficient speed and force to clean the faeces container.

b) In addition, the caregiver's awareness and careless coordination cannot be relied upon to generate the necessary hydraulic force and velocity to clean the upright bowl with water flowing out of the nozzle.

c) This method of technical design does not provide the physical effect required to generate the force required to clean the waste receptacle, even for small receptacles of children's bed pans. This is because it is unnatural for a person to always realize that they must pull the handle down hard or that there is no chance to clean the waste receptacle.

d) Also, there is a counter balance problem when the bowl is inverted by the hose handle return spring, which the design of this technique is not possible to overcome when it must attempt again to simultaneously pour the bowl against the bias of the bowl return spring.

e) In addition, in the case of a water supply efficient toilet with a small amount of water, the hose extraction port is not sufficient to receive enough water flowing out of the toilet.

f) The filling of the unit also creates a lot of dead space so that not enough water is available, even if there is enough force on the discharge stroke to clean the unit.

g) Residual water from the extraction valve and hose can leak on the floor after exiting the toilet water, resulting in an unsanitary condition.

Summary of the embodiments

Manual portable toilet process

a) This process is very laborious because (depending on the composition of the bodily waste) many times the cleaning process requires that the caregiver carry an open waste receptacle containing human waste back and forth from the cleaning surface to the toilet bowl.

b) In addition, placing water into a soiled open waste container at the sink and carrying the container and pouring it into the toilet bowl presents a potential risk of spillage of the waste.

c) Both the patient and the caregiver can be embarrassed by the vision and smell resulting from this manual cleaning process.

Electric self-cleaning bodily waste receptacle

a) This product clearly has not experienced market success.

b) Such products require manually filling the reservoir with water, which makes the product heavier and laborious as almost the same number of steps as an old manual cleaning process is required.

Portable flushing toilet

a) It has been found that there is a major problem in that the discharge stroke of the pump is dependent on the strength of the arm of the person and the self-conscious effort of pushing the pump handle down hard so that there is any chance that the water will generate sufficient speed and force to clean the waste container.

b) In addition, the caregiver's awareness and careless coordination cannot be relied upon to generate the necessary hydraulic force and velocity to clean the upright bowl with water flowing out of the nozzle.

c) This method of technical design does not provide the physical effect required to generate the force required to clean the waste receptacle, even for small receptacles of children's bed pans. This is because it is unnatural for a person to always realize that they must pull the handle down hard or that there is no chance to clean the waste receptacle.

d) Also, there is a counter-balance problem when the bowl is inverted by the hose handle return spring, which the design of this technique is not possible to overcome when it attempts again to simultaneously pour the bowl against the bias of the bowl return spring.

e) In addition, especially in the case of so-called eco-efficient toilets with a small amount of water, the hose extraction opening is not sufficient to receive enough water from many toilets today.

f) The filling of the unit also creates a lot of dead space so that not enough water is available, even if there is enough force on the discharge stroke to clean the unit.

g) Residual water from the extraction valve and hose, after exiting the toilet water, can leak onto the floor, leading to unhygienic situations,

h) this eliminates the additional fault contributor associated with the discharge nozzle and hose connection to the bowl, creating an insurmountable weight, which requires a very powerful spring on the hose control arm, so that many potential users will not be able to operate the unit,

i) this provides a unit whose structural requirements will not make it too demanding in terms of weight.

Advantages of the invention

Accordingly, several advantages of one or more aspects are as follows: there is provided a portable, flushable toilet, the portable, flushable toilet comprising: eliminates the unsanitary condition currently existing in manually cleaned portable toilets (all available on the market today) that exposes the waste receptacle to the cleaning surface; eliminating the need for a caregiver to transport the waste container from the cleaning plane back and forth to the toilet bowl; primarily eliminates the sensory offensiveness of a person having to see and smell the human waste associated with a manual cleaning process to clean the open waste receptacle; and to provide a cleaning process that: increases the esteem of the care givers and care recipients who are very embarrassing and humiliating processes that are almost entirely used in manual cleaning processes; eliminating the need for relying on the operator to make unnatural and self-conscious efforts to exert sufficient force on the pump handle if they actually desire the unit to work; eliminates the counter-balancing problem when the waste container return spring must be overcome by the bowl dump spring; eliminating the additional failure contributors associated with the discharge nozzle and hose connected to the bowl creating an insurmountable weight, which requires a strong spring on the hose control arm so that many potential users will not be able to operate the unit; a unit is provided whose structural requirements will not make it too demanding in terms of weight.

Description of electric eecpc (electric ecological compressor Portable toilet bowl)

In fig. 60, illustration 101 is simply a side view of the base device of eecpc when attached to the aspect already described in ecpbc. It should be noted first that eecpc removes the main and secondary gears 7 and 9, the pedals 93, the bracket 90 and most of the associated foot pedals and rubber band mechanisms. eecpc has formed a complete loop of a combination of cables and chains connected to pistons suspended on four rotating elements. In the current embodiment, one of the rotating elements is a gear connected to an electric motor and is the motive force of eecpc. In illustration 900 is associated circuitry (which includes a rechargeable battery and a motor) to indicate the conventional electrical concepts involved. The illustration 400 is a mechanical lever and actuator associated with operating an operator of an electrical system that replaces the foot pedal and manual hand operated portion that have been disclosed in the present disclosure.

The control lever C and all associated actuators seen in diagram 400 are assembled into the portion of the hand operated mechanism where the pedals and manual were previously placed in the disclosed aspects. The illustration 200 is an illustration of a console linearly above and closely adjacent to a cylinder, and the mechanism in the illustration 400 is below it because the control handle C protrudes vertically through the console 200. Diagram 300 is an electrical grid section (at the bottom) with which the control levers and associated actuators make electrical contact to operate the flow of pistons, water, etc. (and other mechanisms already indicated) in the optimal sequence for the necessary current to achieve synchronized operation. Diagrams 500, 600, 700, and 800 show various side views of the piston connected to its cables and chains and cable circuit (I) with attached torpedoes (h) in addition to grid 300 and switches 1000, 2000, and 3000.

Note that these described switches have dashed lines connected to the pivot points. These dashed lines indicate a permanent connection from the grid to the pivot point, and the solid lines from the pivot point up indicate the moving part of the switch that is pushed by the torpedo (h) when the cable moves linearly.

The illustrations 500, 600, 700, and 800 will help provide an explanation of how the control levers and actuators operate the electric motor in sequence to ultimately operate the piston to induce flow of flushing water.

It should be noted that (in the current embodiment) the motor will have a gear wheel that is identical to the chain that connects the portion of the back side of the piston to the gear wheel just below the motor gear wheel (as envisioned in illustration 500). However, from the end of the gear below the motor and through the switch and around the remaining rollers (at the end of the combiner box in illustration 101) is a cable connected to a chain that passes through a cable seal on the combiner box and connects to the front of the piston.

In the operation of an electric eco-compressor flushable portable toilet bowl (eecfpc), the operator holds the unit in their right hand, as shown in the previous description of foot pedal operated ecfpc. As seen mechanically in fig. 2 and 3, once standing in front of the toilet bowl, the operator lowers the extraction control handle 59 with their left hand, thereby lowering the locked extraction tube 81, as previously explained. The operator maneuvers the extraction pipe into the toilet reservoir as previously described while simultaneously placing the unit on top of the toilet. The unit is now ready to siphon water from the bowl into the cylinder during the remainder of the electromechanical operation.

Following the pattern on the console 200 (which should be assumed to be alongside and above but parallel to the cylinders, venturi and combiner box of diagram 101). The control handle C of diagram 400 operates inside and below the console 200 according to a mode. In the rest position, the control handle C of the illustration 400 is located at region 1-x of the console 200 illustration. It should also be noted that in this rest position, in the illustration 500 is the extraction contact lever D, which is roughly above the tops of the contacts 1000 and 2000 (referred to as the reset switch and refill switch, respectively). The open relationship between lever D and contacts 1000 and 2000 indicates that the circuit is not in a flowing condition at this time. It should also be noted that the torpedo activator (h) attached to the cable is also currently deactivating the two spring-loaded switches 1000 and 2000. Therefore, electricity cannot flow through the circuit to operate the electric motor at this time.

The operator should now place their hand on the control handle C, which is located at the intersection 1-x of the diagrams 200 and 400. The operator now moves the control handle C from position 1-x to position 2-z, as indicated on diagram 200. As seen in the diagram 600, this brings contact between the draw contact lever D and the torpedo-shaped deactivation switches (1000 and 2000), thereby causing current to bypass the deactivation switches 1000 and 2000, so that current flow occurs in the circuit and thus the motor rotates the cable/chain (I). The motor now drives the cable. The attached torpedo (h) shaped actuator moves linearly (releasing both switches back to the contact position) until the torpedo pushes the spring loaded contact point 3000 to open the circuit after moving the piston to the end of its extraction stroke (again, see diagram 600 graphically).

The operator then pushes the control handle C forward to position 2-x (as diagrammatically shown on the console 200). Moving the handle forward to this position actuates the polarity switch (moving the motor in the opposite direction) and pushes the drain contact lever E onto the switch 3000 via the control handle C, causing galvanic contact. This causes the piston to be stroked in discharge as seen in diagram 700. Moreover, when the control handle C is moved from the extraction position 2-z to the discharge position 2-x, the control handle C switches the extraction/receptacle coordination 95 (as seen by operation in the pedal disclosure), thus causing the waste receptacle 47 to dump into the toilet as the extraction tube 81 is retracted from the toilet trap and back into the housing. Therefore, the flushing of the excrement receptacle is effective in the case where the excrement receptacle is in an upside-down position above the nozzle 43 and water is forcibly discharged from the cylinder by driving the piston by the electric motor. However (as seen in the illustration 700), when the torpedo is actuated on the discharge stroke during flushing of the waste container, it triggers the switch 2000 and stops discharging water from the cylinder before all of the water leaves the cylinder, and the waste container is still inverted.

At this point, the operator moves the control handle C from the flush position 2-x to the rest position 1-x. The control handle C moves at a cross angle. A horizontal axis (with a ball thereon matching the area at the pivot point on the handle) will provide the required linear, lateral and angular movement. When the control handle C is located in the region 1-x, it activates two mechanisms: first, it pushes the paddle (5) downwards which raises the container tipping arm (as in the previous disclosure), thus raising the container to its upright receiving and rest position. And second, it depresses the refill lever (F) which causes current to flow through the deactivation switch 2000 which is deactivated by the torpedo. Activation of the motor also drives the piston to expel the remaining water from the cylinder while the receptacle is in the upright waste receiving position, thereby keeping the clean water placed in the waste receptacle from future incoming waste reduction, as in the previous disclosure. As seen in diagram 800, the torpedo eventually disengages switch 3000 and will therefore electrically open until a flush is needed again. It should also be noted that the control handle C should be placed in a locked position behind a suitable catch that engages towards the 1-x area within the console track.

Description of the embodiments

The present description will focus on three steps taken by the user to flush an eco-compressor flush portable toilet bowl (ecfpc) into a residential or commercial toilet bowl, and explain the full ecfcp mechanical function associated with each step. In short, ecfpc is first connected exclusively to the water inside the reservoir of an ecological toilet (but not exclusively). Second, ecfpc loads cleaning water onto itself from the toilet bowl reservoir area. Third, ecfpc flushes itself clean into the toilet. Although the main description is given with respect to pedal operated ecfpc, the hydraulic and manual operating systems operate the same mechanism.

As seen in fig. 1, the current embodiment is a foot pedal operated eco-compressor flush portable toilet (ecfpc) comprising a housing 100 (replicated by upper and lower plates), an attachable waste receptacle 47 into which human waste is received by a person sitting on or standing over said waste receptacle 47 directing their waste discharge orifice.

The caregiver then picks up the eco-compressor flusher (typically from a bedside toilet seat in the case of a child's bedpan or in the case of a bedside toilet; not shown) from the floor and carries it to the toilet bowl via carrying handle 99.

The method comprises the following steps: connecting ECFPC to toilet Water reservoir

When the housing 100 suspended by the carrying handle 99 is held with the right hand and the extraction control handle 59 is rotated, the extraction tube 81 with the reservoir insertable valve is lowered from within the housing 100 and centered and locked at the bottom rear portion thereof. It should be noted that in the case of a bedside toilet, the caregiver may choose to lower the extraction tube 81 with the reservoir insertable valve while the housing 100 is still in the bedside toilet seat.

As seen in fig. 2 and 3, the extraction tube 81 with the reservoir insertable valve is lowered and locked as follows: when the operator rotates the extraction control handle 59 about est.90 degrees from the rear of the unit towards the front, the extraction duct shaft 60 connected to said control handle 59 is also connected to the extraction latchable gear 63. All three components rotate together in this one direction.

As seen in fig. 2 and 4, the extraction tube gear/container pour support latch 89 has a spring (not shown) that biases the latch 89 to an opening on the extraction latch gear 63, thus locking the gear. (note that on the other end of the latch 89 and operating simultaneously is a container dumping bracket which later restricts the waste container from dumping; how this said gear latch and dumping bracket latch 89 becomes a feature enabling the waste container to dump waste into the toilet bowl, indicating during step 3 when the extraction tube is retracted into the housing thereby freeing it from waste.) however, as the gear 63 rotates, it in turn rotates the idler gear 65 above it which in turn rotates the extraction suspension gear 67. Connected to the suspension gear 67 is a lateral suspension spring 69 (not shown) enclosed by two opposing lateral covers 71 with inner covers mounted to the extraction suspension gear 67. An extraction suspension spring 67 is rotatably fitted to the machine wall 41 and also rotates with the idler gear 65, extraction latch gear 63 by being mounted to the extraction tube shaft 60 driven by the extraction tube control handle 59.

Suspension arms 77 are on and attached to the outer opposite ends (not shown) of the enclosed 71 lateral suspension springs 69. A spring bolt 73 protrudes through the suspension arm 77 and the envelope 71 (not shown) of the transverse spring 69 and is adapted to suspend the gear 67. When the suspension arm 77 is rotated by actuation of these said elements by the extraction control handle 59, the suspension arm moves laterally towards the inner centre of the unit as it is pushed laterally by the suspension arm lateral ramp 91.

The suspension arm 77 has two separate loops through which the extraction tube 81 with the reservoir insertable valve telescopes. Enclosing the aspiration tube 81 between the rings on the suspension arms 77 is an aspiration tube suspension spring 79. Suitable stops are placed between the spring 79, depending arm 77 and extraction tube 81 to enable the extraction port to bias the ring on extraction arm 77 up and down to accommodate different movements and configurations within the toilet and its various reservoirs.

In the case of a caregiver placing the unit in front of a toilet bowl with carrying handle 99; and by having the extraction tube 81 with the reservoir insertable valve hanging behind and centrally under the housing 100 and locked by said latch 89 protruding into the opening on said gear 63, the caregiver manipulates the extraction port 81 into the toilet reservoir when he/she places the housing on top of the toilet. The extraction tube 81 is of a suitable material or means such as a bellows or gripping elbow 83 that enables the valve area of the extraction tube 81 to flex to align and stabilize as it is maneuvered into the toilet reservoir. An extraction tube 81 with a reservoir insertable valve is designed to penetrate into the reservoir to extract water from an eco-toilet that otherwise may not have enough water above the reservoir to allow a flushable portable commode/toilet to have enough syphonic water to clean itself. An extraction tube may be inserted into the valve to position the valve within the valve housing to be disposed toward the bottom of the reservoir so that it can potentially siphon a maximum amount of water. In addition, the conical shape is designed to imply a certain amount of closure of the reservoir. The caregiver will be instructed to flush the toilet so if more water is found to be needed, the water can fill the bowl to provide sufficient water, although empirically, sufficient water can always be found in the reservoir.

Step two: loading clean water into ECFPC Portable toilet

Pedal with drawing port

In the present embodiment, D of fig. 50 is a top view of the foot pedal 93 connected to the shaft that rotatably supports the final gear 7. Fig. 1 shows said gear 7 and the associated shafts connected to the rest of the unit, but in the drawings of the various fig. 50 mainly the foot pedal 93 and its key dependent elements are shown. In fig. 50, fig. B is a side view of the foot board 93 pivotally mounted to the gear 7 and the shaft. Figure B also shows the pedal bracket 90 protruding through the center of the primary latch pulley 92 mounted to pivot linearly from the base of the bracket (not shown). This pedal bracket 90 is seen in fig. a in a rest position, above both the primary and secondary gears (cavities with openings in the top) and locked by a system lock 97 which in the present embodiment is rotated towards the operator when the pedal bracket 90 is lowered vertically to the support position. However, fig. B shows the rotatable movement of this pedal bracket 90, and as the pedal bracket 90 passes through the rotatable primary latch pulley 92, it will rotate to the following point: wherein in figure C the pedal bracket is in a vertical position on a portion of the bracket 90, referred to as a bracket pulley grip 90 b. It should be noted that the primary latch pulley 92 is connected to the primary latch 92a by a primary latch spring and cable 92b, and that the spring forces the latch 92a against the primary gear 7, enabling the gear to be locked later when the gear is ratcheted to operate the compressor. The primary latch pulley 92 is configured to mate with a stand pulley catch 90b that is fitted to hold the stand in a vertical and slightly angled position to later provide structural support for the unit when the foot pedal 93 is depressed by the operator's foot.

Now, with the extraction pipe and reservoir valve 81 inserted into the toilet, the extraction stroke must be actuated by foot pedal 93, with pedal bracket 90 on the floor for vertical support. At the end of the foot bracket 90 is a bracket adjustment toe 90c that (in the current embodiment) is screwed in and out to adjust height, such as most conventional countertop and bracket adjustments known in the art. It should be noted that the operator may grasp the stand palm 90a or the top of the housing or toilet tank cover to obtain selected support. As seen in fig. C, when the operator pushes down the foot pedal 93 with his foot, the gripping portions of the ratchets catch appropriate teeth (not shown) of the main gear 7 and rotate the main gear 7. The primary gear 7 in turn rotates a secondary gear 9 connected to an adjacent pulley. As seen in fig. 1, 4, 5 and 8, this said pulley is connected to an extraction piston rope 29 which is suspended by the pulley as it extends along the side of the compression cylinder 16 and makes two 90 degree turns. The rope 29 is then connected to the front of the compression piston 15 inside the compression cylinder 16. Thus, as the operator continues to press the foot pedal 93 downwardly, this compression piston 15 creates a negative pressure inside the compression cylinder 16 as it moves through the cylinder towards the front of the unit. As seen in fig. 1, 4 and 5, the compression cylinder 16 is connected by a venturi tube 20a to a combination tank 20 (not clearly seen) having a discharge valve 27 and a discharge pipe 37. As negative pressure continues, water is siphoned from the bowl into the compression cylinder 16 as the discharge valve 27 closes and the extraction tube 81 with the reservoir insertion valve opens while in the toilet.

However, it is not clearly seen by the drawings, but fig. 1, 3, 4, 5 and 8 cover views of the rubber band discharge cord 21 connected to the back of the compression piston 15. As the foot pedal 93 is depressed, the bungee cord 21 passes through the combiner box seal 25 and then winds around a roller connected to the combiner box 20 and travels in the direction of the front of the unit as it is connected to the front of the compression piston 15 by the extraction piston cord 29. Where the cord is tied, it is connected to the elastic as it travels around the pulley and is connected to the base housing in the current embodiment.

As seen in fig. 50, in the event that the foot pedal 93 is fully down and the extraction stroke on the compression piston 15 is completed, the compression cylinder 16 is filled with water siphoned from the toilet bowl. The primary latch 92a has locked the primary gear 7 and thus the compression cylinder 16 is loaded with water when the bungee escape cord 21 and its associated bungee 17 bias the compression piston 15 and are ready to expel water from the cylinder 16.

One of the primary purposes of the manifold 20, which is connected to the compression cylinder 16 by the venturi 20a, is to seal the compression cylinder 16 as the bungee cord 21 forcefully discharges the compression piston 15 on a discharge stroke. A seal is required between the bungee escape cord 21 and where it leaves the bungee box 20. Currently, a rubber seal (or another suitable material may be used) tightly surrounds the rope handling area of the combiner box within the cavity of the combiner box 20, from which the rope exits and wraps around the combiner box 20 attachment gear outside of the combiner box 20.

Step three: flushing ecfpc

Since the ecfpc cylinder 16 is loaded with flush water from the toilet bowl and the waste receptacle 47 has waste that needs to be poured into the toilet bowl, the extraction pipe 18 must be retracted into the housing before the waste receptacle can be poured and the flush water can clean the poured waste receptacle 47, as seen in fig. 8. As described in step one above, at the same time that the extraction tube 81 is lowered, the extraction tube/container latch 89 is activated by a spring (see fig. 4B 95c) to lock the extraction latchable gear 63 on one end, and it will act as a stand to support the container pour pin 53 on the other end (as can best be seen in fig. 4 and 50 e). Simultaneously latching 89 the items 53 and 63 will coordinate the pouring of the waste container and the withdrawal of the extraction tube to operate simultaneously. When the extraction tube is lowered by the extraction control handle 59, the pedal bracket 90 is locked in the rest position by the system lock 97. As can best be seen in fig. 1 and 5, when the pedal bracket is locked, it presses the rocker 5 downward (seen in fig. 4A), which raises the container dump pin 53 in an upward position. However, since the extraction tube/container latch 89 is first activated during lowering of the extraction control handle 59, the container latch 89 is below the container dump pin 53 before the paddle 5 is released by the pedal bracket 90, such that the container dump latex spring 50 cannot force the container dump arm 39 (to which the container dump pin 53 is connected) downward to dump the waste container.

As can be imagined from fig. 50A, F and E and fig. 4, when the pedal bracket 90 returns, it rotates the primary latch pulley 92 which in turn pulls the latch spring and cable 92b so that the latch spring and cable pull the primary latch 92 away from the primary gear 7. As the primary latch 92 moves back, it releases the primary drive gear 7 and grasps and rotates the extraction/container bypass coordinator 95 (which has bypass capability), which pulls on the tube/container latch 89 and causes simultaneous release of both the extraction latchable gear 63 and the container dump pin 53. Once they are released, the extraction tube vertical spring 75 retracts the extraction tube 61 from the toilet reservoir into the housing, and the container dump arm 39 (which is again lifted by the attached container dump pin 53 sitting on the container/tube latch 89) can be carried down by the container dump latex spring 50. At the same time, however, the primary latch 92a releases the primary drive gear 7, allowing the bungee spring 17 to forcefully discharge water from the bowl 16 through the venturi tube 20a, the combiner box 20, the discharge tube 37 and the flush jet nozzle 43 to forcefully discharge water on the surface of the inverted waste receptacle 47 directly into the toilet bowl as waste and dirty water droplets. The caregiver may then simply flush ecfbc down the toilet reservoir.

Fig. 4 and in particular fig. 9 and 10 illustrate how the receptacle dumping arm and associated mechanism dump the waste receptacle. While fig. 4 shows a top view of the receptacle with the waste attached, fig. 9 and 10 show the pouring mechanism associated with the receptacle pouring arm 39 without the receptacle inserted. As can be seen in the figures, the container toppling arm 39 is rotatably mounted to the housing robot arm 41 in two positions, but the container toppling arm is a one-piece member in a u-shaped configuration. There is a matching downflow level slot centered on the side, and a container pour pin 53 is attached to the front and center. In the present embodiment, there are two tipping mechanism tipping columns 51 having vertical slots and mounted from the top of the housing and centered on the container tipping arm 39 perpendicular to the slots (slot direction). Container topper mechanism 49 is positioned through the vertical and horizontal slots of post 51 and topper arm 39, respectively. The toppling and overturning mechanism 49 has clamps (not shown) to hold them in place. The waste container 47 has a platform with posts on each side that snap into the flipper 49 to allow easy removal of the container for cleaning, or in the event of an ecfpc failure, the unit can still provide manual toilet cleaning services. As the dump arm 39 is rotated downwardly by the spring 50, the spring catches both flippers and forces them down the vertical slot on the post 51. Each of the two posts 51 also has two legs projecting from their lower half so that on downward movement of the flipping mechanism 49, the flipping mechanism flips over on the first leg (thereby flipping it 90 degrees) and then catches the second leg a second time as it moves further downward and is forced to flip another estimated 90 degrees a second time, effectively dumping and causing the waste container to dump waste into the toilet. As seen in fig. 4 and 5, before the waste receptacle 47 is dumped by the receptacle dump arm and the associated mechanism, as just explained, it is seen that a rinse nozzle trough 45 with attached jet nozzles 43 is rotatably mounted to the top of the robotic arm 41 and that the rinse nozzle trough opens into the waste receptacle 47 from the top. The jet nozzles 43 ultimately attach to the drained water and allow the water to flow over the trough after rinsing the receptacle (explained in more detail herein), so there is clean water in the receptacle at all times when the incoming waste is placed. The trough 45 is biased up and down when the waste container 47 actuates it, so that as the waste container 47 tips over, it rotates down and is caught under it, as seen in fig. 8. Also during the flushing process, said jet nozzle 43 attached to the trough 45 is directed towards the interior of the inverted faeces container 47. As previously seen in fig. 4 and 5, a flexible combination tank drain 37 is attached to the jet nozzle 43 on one end thereof and is connected to the combination tank 20 drain outlet on the other end.

Not shown but color indicators run on the cable and or gears to indicate to the user when a certain action is actuated (also on the mechanical device and/or an indicator that is electrically powered but possibly electrically powered may be selected for the electrically powered device). The pedal bracket 90 must be held on top of the system lock 97 until the indicator indicates that the system lock 97 can move, so the pedal bracket can be locked by the system lock when it returns to its rest position. The indicator will indicate that this rest position action is to be taken before all of the water is drained from the cylinder 16. Again, this is necessary because water needs to be kept in the waste receptacle 47 until the waste enters to keep the incoming waste loose to aid in cleaning. This is done by the pedal bracket 90 as it goes into its rest position and presses on the rocker 5. The rocker 5 raises the receptacle dump arm 39 and hence the waste receptacle 47 to its waste receiving state and when this occurs before all of the water is emptied from the vat 16 by forceful discharge of the rubber band 17, residual water remains in the receptacle 47.
