Abstract

Abstract 1. A portable waste disposal system comprising a housing; barrier means dividing said housing into first and second chambers; said first chamber having an inlet for receiving waste matter; first means in said first chamber positioned adjacent said inlet for depositing liquid waste matter in said first chamber, said first means being comprised of a porous member positioned beneath said inlet for retaining and supporting solid waste and permitting liquid waste to pass therethrough so as to be collected upon the floor of said first chamber; said first means further comprising second means for conveying solid waste matter into said second chamber, said second means further including means for rotating said porous member towards said second chamber to deposit therein solid waste matter collected upon said porous member; said second chamber having a pool of molten material; third means for heating said pool of molten material to an elevated temperature, said barrier means being comprised of a normally vertically aligned rotatable barrier plate coupled to said rotating means for moving said barrier plate to a horizontal position to provide sufficient clearance for said porous member to enable the same to transfer solid waste matter into said second chamber whereby said pool of molten material combusts solid waste matter deposited thereon.
