Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
124 words
An improved waste disposal system for use with a power source such as an internal combustion engine or the like in which waste heated gases are generated and which includes an exhaust system comprising exhaust ports, an exhaust manifold and an exhaust pipe for disposing of said heated gases, said disposal system including a waste tank for receiving waste material and means for vaporizing the liquid material, the improvement comprising: conduit means connecting said vaporizing means to said tank to receive liquid therefrom and to said exhaust system to discharge vapor thereinto, said vaporizing means being positioned between said engine and said manifold and exposed to the heated gases as the gases pass from the exhaust ports of the engine to the exhaust manifold.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
124 words
An improved waste disposal system for use with a power source such as an internal combustion engine or the like in which waste heated gases are generated and which includes an exhaust system comprising exhaust ports, an exhaust manifold and an exhaust pipe for disposing of said heated gases, said disposal system including a waste tank for receiving waste material and means for vaporizing the liquid material, the improvement comprising: conduit means connecting said vaporizing means to said tank to receive liquid therefrom and to said exhaust system to discharge vapor thereinto, said vaporizing means being positioned between said engine and said manifold and exposed to the heated gases as the gases pass from the exhaust ports of the engine to the exhaust manifold.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
40 words
The improvement of claim 1 wherein said vaporizing means comprises a boiler unit between said engine and said exhaust manifold, said boiler unit including passage means to permit the flow of heated gases through said unit to the exhaust manifold.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
