Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an incinerator having an incinerator chamber having a lid and a toilet bowl, and a mechanism for opening and closing one of the lid and the toilet bowl.

[0002]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Applicant's US Patent No.
3,020,559, 3,890,653, 3,943,579,
Nos. 4,823,408, 4,905,324 and 5,12
No. 3,122 discloses an incinerator with an incinerator chamber having a lid and a toilet bowl, and a mechanism for opening and closing the two halves of the lid and the toilet bowl. Commercially available water-free incinerators utilize a toilet-like disposable liner to capture waste. This toilet bowl is
Made from two identical shaped halves, these are essentially
When opened the same way and when fully opened, an opening of about 4 inches is formed. A mechanism for opening the toilet bowl half and for dropping the toilet liner and waste trapped therein into the incinerator chamber is operably connected to the lid of the incinerator chamber that covers the opening of the incinerator chamber. . The lid of the incinerator chamber is moved by a mechanism connected to the foot pedal to expose the opening of the incinerator chamber. During operation, the foot pedal is pushed down and the lid
Lifted by 1/2 inch and then rocked backwards.
As a result, the two halves of the split toilet open and the toilet liner and waste fall into the incineration chamber and are incinerated.

Heretofore, the opening movements of the lid and the toilet have been more or less linear. That is, as the lid begins to move, soon the toilet bowl begins to open, so that the two halves of the split toilet are clearly separated before the lid releases the opening of the incineration chamber. Thus, through the partially opened toilet bowl, a portion of the lid is visible and the toilet bowl is not fully opened until the lid is fully opened. This action can be speeded up by pressing down on the foot pedal, and the toilet bowl reacts into a linear shape before opening.
The lid is almost visible. When the lid is opened normally or at a slower rate, the tip of the toilet liner and the excrement trapped in it may contact the top surface of the lid before it opens the opening. Become. During normal operation of the toilet, the lid is heated and the temperature on its top surface is about 50
It reaches 0 ° F. If the toilet liner is made of paper, the toilet liner will not stick to the top of the lid. However, if the toilet liner is made of a plastic such as polyethylene, contacting the heated lid surface can have disastrous consequences. That is, the liner melts and sticks to the lid, and the excrement contained in the liner falls outside the incinerator chamber, creating a foul odor and unsanitary conditions.

[0004] At one time, paper was used exclusively as a material for the liner of toilet bowls because it was easily manufactured by hand.
Has been used. However, paper is relatively more expensive than other moisture impermeable materials, and when paper burns,
There are problems such as generation of odor, difficulty in automatically manufacturing a liner for a paper toilet, and high cost. Plastic sheet materials such as polyethylene are
It can be manufactured more easily and cheaply by a machine. Also, this material is cleaner when burned than paper and can be manufactured as a roll rather than a stack. The plastic toilet liner should only be used with an incinerator if the liner and the waste it contains will fall directly into the bottom of the incinerator chamber without contacting the heated lid. be able to. Therefore, the heated lid is 2
The two toilet halves begin to open and the toilet liner must be removed from the opening of the incinerator chamber before any contact with the lid.
