Vehicle flush toilet
Abstract
Abstract THE DISCLOSURE RELATES TO A FLUSH TOILET FOR VEHICLES OR THE LIKE. A STORAGE RECEPTACLE RECEIVES WASTE FROM A BOWL WITH WHICH IT COMMUNICATES WHEN AN INTERVENING SHUTTER IS OPEN. DURING THE FLUSHING CYCLE, THE SHUTTER IS CLOSED AND FLUSHING FLUID IS PUMPED FROM A SEPARATE RESERVOIR TO THE BOWL AND THENCE BACK TO THE RESERVOIR, BYPASSING THE RECEPTACLE. A COVER FOR THE FLUSH TOILET IS OPENABLE AND IS MECHANICALLY COUPLED TO THE SHUTTER SO THAT THE SHUTTER IS OPENED WHEN THE COVER IS RAISED. A MEANS IS PROVIDED FOR LATCHING THE SHUTTER IN THE CLOSED POSITION DURING THE FLUSHING CYCLE, AND THE MECHANICAL INTERCONNECTION BETWEEN THE SHUTTER AND THE COVER PERMITS RAISING THE COVER EVEN WHEN THE SHUTTER IS LOCKED IN THE CLOSED POSITION.
