Abstract

A portable compact toilet enclosure includes a main frame having an interior portion, a side frame, and a hood portion. The side frame is slidably coupled to the main frame and configured such that in a closed configuration of the portable compact toilet enclosure, the side frame portion is substantially disposed within the interior portion of the main frame. In an open configuration, the side frame is positioned away from the main frame such that substantial portions of the side frame portion are disposed outside of the interior portion of the main frame. The hood portion is hingedly attached to the side frame and configured such that in the closed configuration the hood portion is substantially disposed within the interior portion of the main frame, and in the open configuration is rotated in an upright position and substantially disposed outside of the interior portion of the main frame.
