Abstract

This is a portable toilet device. Broken excrement may be certainly drained. Means ( 40 ) for breaking the excrement having crushing blades is installed in the stagnant portion ( 18 ) of the body ( 20 ) of the toilet device, means ( 200 ) for sending the broken excrement by compression, which sends compressed air into the stagnant portion ( 18 ), and a lid for open and closure that closes the stagnant portion ( 18 ) tightly are provided. When treating the excrement after bowel movement, the lid for open and closure is closed and then, by driving the means for breaking the excrement, the excrement is stirred and broken into fragments with the stagnant portion being tightly closed. After breaking the excrement into fragments, compressed air is jetted into the stagnant portion so that a liquid mixture formed by breaking the excrement into fragments can be sent by compression toward a side of drain hose ( 14 ). Since the drain hose is connected to an existing toilet device of an existing toilet facility or the like, this liquid mixture can be certainly drained to a side of the existing toilet device if the broken excrement is sent by compression.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 - 14 . (canceled) 
   
   
       15 . A portable toilet device wherein the device comprises:
 a body of the device containing a water-supplying nozzle that flushes rinse water near an opening, and a drain opening that is communicated with a stagnant portion provided at a bottom thereof,   means for breaking the excrement, which is installed at the stagnant portion of the body of the device,   means for sending the broken excrement by compression, which is provided on an upside of the stagnant portion; and   a lid for open and closure that closes the stagnant portion tightly, which is provided on an upside of the means for sending the broken excrement by compression.   
   
   
       16 . The portable toilet device according to  claim 15  wherein as the means for breaking the excrement, rotational typed means for breaking the excrement or means for sending compressed air by compression is used. 
   
   
       17 . The portable toilet device according to  claim 16  wherein the rotational typed means for breaking the excrement includes a motor and crushing blades that are attached to the motor; and
 a part or whole of the crushing blades is immersed under a surface of trap water that is trapped in the stagnant portion.   
   
   
       18 . The portable toilet device according to  claim 16  wherein the means for breaking the excrement, which uses the means for sending compressed air by compression, breaks the excrement by a jet stream by the compressed air with the excrement being stirred. 
   
   
       19 . The portable toilet device according to  claim 18  wherein a crashing portion for allowing the trapped excrement to crash is further attached to a wall surface of the stagnant portion; and
 the excrement is crashed by crashing to the crashing portion with the excrement being stirred by the jet stream from the means for sending the broken excrement by compression.   
   
   
       20 . The portable toilet device according to  claim 19  wherein the crashing portion is constituted of plural projections. 
   
   
       21 . The portable toilet device according to  claim 18  wherein a water-supply tank is provided to jet rinse water and air into the stagnant portion;
 a jet of the means for sending the broken excrement by compression is provided to face the closed space and the other jet thereof is connected to the water-supply tank; and   when the excrement crashes, the compressed air is jetted into the stagnant portion at the same time of jetting the rinse water from the water-supply tank.   
   
   
       22 . The portable toilet device according to  claim 15  wherein the lid for open and closure includes slidable type one and open/close type one. 
   
   
       23 . The portable toilet device according to  claim 22  wherein the lid for open and closure of slidable type is advanced and retreated by an electromagnetic solenoid or rotation gears. 
   
   
       24 . The portable toilet device according to  claim 15  wherein the lid for open and closure is positioned inside the body of the toilet device so that it can have a smaller area than that of the opening of the toilet device while the stagnant portion is closed tightly. 
   
   
       25 . The portable toilet device according to  claim 15  wherein the body of the toilet device has a reducing size portion having a diameter smaller than that of the opening thereof between the opening and the means for sending the broken excrement by compression; and
 the lid for opening and closure is attached to a lower side of the reducing size portion by means of a hinge mechanism and the lid is urged toward the reducing size portion so that a rim of the lid for opening and closure comes into contact with an edge of the reducing size portion.   
   
   
       26 . The portable toilet device according to  claim 15  wherein an on-off valve mechanism is provided at a side of a drain opening; and
 after the lid for open and closure is tightly closed with the on-off valve mechanism is closed, the means for sending the broken excrement by compression starts its operation and the on-off valve mechanism is opened after internal pressure within the closed space is increased to a pressure more than a predetermined pressure.   
   
   
       27 . The portable toilet device according to  claim 26  wherein a rinse-water-jetting mechanism for jetting rinse water into the space closed by the lid for open and closure is provided; and
 the rinse-water-jetting mechanism jets the rinse water after the on-off valve mechanism is opened.   
   
   
       28 . The portable toilet device according to  claim 15  wherein a drain switch is provided; and
 a drain-processing mode is provided in which water within the stagnant portion is drained by manipulating the drain switch to drive the means for sending the broken excrement by compression.
