Abstract
Abstract A material disposal assembly to store compacted material in a high density, easily transportable system. The assembly forms a totally enclosed chamber with provision for insertion of the material. Compression of the refuse or material within the unit is aided by the declination and tapering of the enclosing walls in a longitudinal direction. Tapering of the side walls in an upward and outward direction further provides for full utilization of the enclosed chamber thereby providing a high unit density of material within the allowable chamber volume. The assembly further includes provisions for attachment to a moveable vehicle for transportation of the compacted material to a remote site.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
179 words
A totally enclosed material disposal assembly to store compressed material within a chamber formed by said assembly, comprising: an opposed pair of flat floor and ceiling planes having forward and rear surfaces; an opposed pair of forward and rear walls extending in a vertical direction substantially orthoganal to said floor plane, said forward and rear walls secured to said forward and rear surfaces of said floor and ceiling planes; means for providing access of said material into said chamber of said Assembly; a mutually opposed pair of side walls secured to said floor, ceiling, rear and forward walls to form said totally enclosed material disposal assembly; and, means for tapering said side walls from said floor to said ceiling planes continuously and uniformly in an outward and upward direction, said means for tapering said side walls to include a plurality of strut members extending in a substantially vertical direction and rigidly secured at a lower surface to said floor plane and at an upper surface to said ceiling plane, said side walls being securely fastened to said strut members.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
179 words
A totally enclosed material disposal assembly to store compressed material within a chamber formed by said assembly, comprising: an opposed pair of flat floor and ceiling planes having forward and rear surfaces; an opposed pair of forward and rear walls extending in a vertical direction substantially orthoganal to said floor plane, said forward and rear walls secured to said forward and rear surfaces of said floor and ceiling planes; means for providing access of said material into said chamber of said Assembly; a mutually opposed pair of side walls secured to said floor, ceiling, rear and forward walls to form said totally enclosed material disposal assembly; and, means for tapering said side walls from said floor to said ceiling planes continuously and uniformly in an outward and upward direction, said means for tapering said side walls to include a plurality of strut members extending in a substantially vertical direction and rigidly secured at a lower surface to said floor plane and at an upper surface to said ceiling plane, said side walls being securely fastened to said strut members.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
44 words
The apparatus as recited in claim 1 wherein said lower surfaces of said struts have a width in excess of the widths of said strut upper surfaces to provide an inclined surface attachment plane in an outward and upward direction for said side walls.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
31 words
The assembly as recited in claim 2 wherein said ceiling plane is inclined to said horizontal floor plane being closest in vertical proximity to said floor plane at corresponding forward surfaces.
