Waste disposal assembly

Claim 2

An improved sewage waste disposal assembly adapted to be mounted to a toilet facility comprising: a sewage waste treatment means including means for heating said treatment means, means for conveying sewage waste material from said toilet facility to said treatment means whereby said sewage waste material disposed in said treatment means is subjected to heat by said heating means, means for retaining said sewage waste material in said treatment means so that the sewage waste material attains a temperature of at least that of boiling water and steam is produced, pressure actuated discharge valve means actuated by the pressure of said steam for discharging the treated sewage waste material from the treatment means, and treated waste disposal means coupled to the treatment means so that upon discharge of said treated sewage waste material the bacterial count of said treated sewage waste is reduced to a relatively low tolerable level.

Claim 3

An improved sewage waste disposal assembly as set forth in claim 1 wherein the heating means mounted on the container is electric heating elements.

Claim 4

An improved sewage waste disposal assembly as set forth in claim 1 wherein the heating means is an exhaust conduit disposed in said treatment means and connected to the manifold of an engine whereby the hot gases passing through the exhaust conduit heat the sewage waste material disposed in the treatment means by conduction.

Claim 5

An improved sewage waste disposal assembly as defined in claim 1 wherein said treatment means is provided with means mounted thereon to control the level of sewage waste material in said treatment means.

Claim 6

An improved sewage waste disposal assembly as set forth in claim 1 wherein said treatment means is provided with a valve for venting air from the treatment means.

Claim 7

An improved sewage waste disposal assembly adapted to be mounted to a toilet facility comprising: a sewage waste treatment means including means for heating said treatment means, means for conveying sewage waste material from said toilet facility to said treatment means, said treatment means being in the form of a container having an inlet opening for receiving sewage waste material from said toilet facility, a partition interposed in said container and mounted therein so as to form a first and second chamber, said partition having pores and interstices for the passage of liquid waste therethrough, said first chamber adapted to receive the sewage waste material including liquid waste thereof so that the liquid sewage waste passes through the pores and interstices of said partition into the second chamber, outlet means mounted in said container in the first and second chambers remote from the inlet opening, heating means mounted to said container for heating the sewage waste material and means for retaining said sewage waste material in said treatment means so that said sewage waste material attains a temperature of at least the boiling point of water prior to being discharged through the outlet means in the first and second chambers, said outlet means including discharge valves mounted in the first and second chambers and being pressure actuated so that the sewage waste is discharged through the discharge valves when opened at a predetermined pressure due to steam produced by the heated sewage waste, and means for discharging the treated sewage waste material from the treatment means so that upon discharge of said treated sewage waste material the bacterial count of said treated sewage waste is reduced to a relatively low tolerable level.

Claim 8

An improved sewage waste disposal assembly adapted to be mounted to a toilet facility comprising: a sewage waste treatment means including means for heating said treatment means, means for conveying sewage waste material from said toilet facility to said treatment means, said treatment means being in the form of a container having an inlet opening for receiving sewage waste material from said toilet facility, a partition interposed in said container and mounted therein so as to form a first and second chamber, said partition having pores and interstices for the passage of liquid waste therethrough, said first chamber adapted to receive the sewage waste material including liquid waste thereof so that the liquid sewage waste passes through the pores and interstices of said partition into the second chamber, outlet means mounted in said container in the first and second chambers remote from the inlet opening, heating means mounted to said container for heating the sewage waste material and means for retaining said sewage waste material in said treatment means so that said sewage waste material attains a temperature of at least the boiling point of water prior to being discharged through the outlet means in the first and second chambers, said outlet means including discharge valves mounted in the first and second chambers and being pressure actuated so that the sewage waste is discharged through the discharge valves when opened at a predetermined pressure due to steam produced by the heated sewage waste, and means for discharging the treated sewage waste material from the treatment means so that upon discharge of said treated sewage waste material the bacterial count of said treated sewage waste is reduced to a relatively low tolerable level.

Claim 9

An improved sewage waste disposal assembly as set forth in claim 6 wherein the pressure-actuated valve mounted in the second chamber opens at a lower pressure than the pressure-actuated valve mounted in the first chamber whereby the treated liquid sewage waste is discharged from the second chamber prior to the discharge of the solid waste material from the first chamber.

Claim 10

An improved sewage waste disposal assembly adapted to be mounted to a toilet facility comprising means for transferring sewage waste material to a thermal treating means, said treating means including a first chamber for holding said sewage waste material to be treated therein, said first chamber having an inlet opening for receiving the waste material from the transferring means, a pressure-actuated valve outlet opening actuated by the pressure of steam produced in the first chamber for discharging the treated waste material from the first chamber, a second chamber having heat means mounted thereon whereby the sewage waste material contained in the first chamber is heated by conduction, means for retaining the sewage waste material in the first chamber until the sewage waste material attains a temperature at least that of boiling water and steam is produced prior to discharging the treated waste material from the first chamber and treated waste disposal means coupled to the first chamber whereby the bacterial count of the treated waste material is reduced to a relatively low tolerable level.

Claim 11

An improved sewage waste disposal assembly adapted to be mounted to a toilet facility comprising means for transferring sewage waste material to a thermal treating means, said treating means including a first chamber for holding said sewage waste material to be treated therein, said first chamber having an inlet opening for receiving the waste material from the transferring means, a pressure-actuated valve outlet opening actuated by the pressure of steam produced in the first chamber for discharging the treated waste material from the first chamber, a second chamber having heat means mounted thereon whereby the sewage waste material contained in the first chamber is heated by conduction, means for retaining the sewage waste material in the first chamber until the sewage waste material attains a temperature at least that of boiling water and steam is produced prior to discharging the treated waste material from the first chamber and treated waste disposal means coupled to the first chamber whereby the bacterial count of the treated waste material is reduced to a relatively low tolerable level.

Claim 12

An improved sewage waste disposal assembly as set forth in claim 8 wherein the means for retaining the waste material in the first chamber is a valve operatively mounted on the assembly and coupled to the discharge opening of the treatment means, the valve being actuated to open and discharge treated sewage waste material from the first chamber at a preselected temperature of at least that of boiling water.

Claim 13

An improved sewage waste dispoSal assembly as defined in claim 9 wherein said valve is pressure actuated.
