NITED STATES CHARLES C. NASH, OF PROVIDENCE, RHODE ISLAND.

PORTABLE WATER-CLOSET.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 302,351, dated July 22, 1884.

Application filed March I, 1883. i (No model.)

To 001% whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CHARLES C. NASH, of Providence, county of Providence, and State of Rhode Island, have invented an Improved Portable ater-Closet, as hereinafter fully described.

The accompanying drawing shows my invention complete, being a front view thereof, with portions broken away to show the interior structure and arrangement, In brief, it consists of a bowl with aseat thereon and a valve thereto, a surrounding water-tank with a suitable pump for forcing water around the bowl, a chamber for slops beneath, with a suitable spout thereto, and all in the compact and convenient form of a pail.

A represents the bail or handle, by which it can be carried; B, the top or seat; 0, the cover to the hole; D, the bowl; E, the handle or knob by which the valve F is operated; G, the water-tank; H, the nozzle for filling the same; I, the pump, with outlet-pipe 2', connecting it with the bowl; J, the handle'ofthe pump; K, the tube through which the rod extends that connects the knob E and valve F; L, the slop-chamber; M, the outlet-spout, and N the cover thereto.

As represented, the water-tank is tight, so that slops can be turned from the lower chamber without disturbing orspilling the water.

The valve is so constructed as to hold a little water, thus sealing the bottom of bowl, and

effectively preventing any-odor from escaping through it. A little water is pumped into it for this purpose, after the contents of the bowl have been dumped into the slop-chamber, and the bowl washed out by forcing water around it.

It is obvious that any style of pump or valve could be-used with my invention, and therefore I do not claim any particular style thereof.

It is also obvious that instead of entirely surrounding the bowl the water tank could extend only part way around, though for many reasons not as desirable as the structure shown.

It is further obvious that the slop-chamber could be made separable from the upper part of the closet and still my arrangement be maintained; but though coming within my invention it would not be as practical as when made all together.

Having thus fully described and illustrated my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

Top or seat B, bowl D, knob E, and valve F, with rod connecting them, tube K, watertank G, pump I, with handle J, and slop-chamber L, all combined and arranged to operate substantially as set forth.

CHAS. G. NASH.
