Packable modular camp toilet
Abstract
A camp toilet may include at least three legs each having a bracket with at least two threaded apertures for receiving at least two fasteners, each fastener positioned in a different one of the at least two threaded apertures, and a seat having a flat surface and forming (a) an internal aperture and (b) evenly positioned around the flat surface for each of the at least three legs, at least two open-ended slots each sized and shaped to receive the at least two fasteners, wherein the fasteners secure the leg to the seat when positioned within the at least two slots and tightened. The camp toilet is modular, lightweight, and easily disassembled and packed for transport.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modifiedWhat is claimed is:
1 . A packable modular camp toilet, comprising:
at least three legs each having a main body and a bracket at one end of the main body, the bracket with at least two threaded apertures for receiving at least two fasteners, each fastener positioned in a different one of the at least two threaded apertures; and a seat having a flat surface and forming (a) an internal aperture and (b) evenly positioned around the flat surface for each of the at least three legs, at least two open-ended slots each sized and shaped to receive the at least two fasteners; wherein the fasteners secure the leg to the seat when positioned within the at least two slots and tightened.
2 . The modular camp toilet of claim 1 , the bracket being perpendicular to the main body of the leg.
3 . The modular camp toilet of claim 1 , the seat being an annulus where a diameter of the internal aperture is at least 60% of an external diameter of the seat.
4 . The modular camp toilet of claim 1 , the seat being one of circular and elliptical and the internal aperture being one of circular and elliptical.
5 . The modular camp toilet of claim 1 , each leg being formed from a bar of material with a bend of less than ninety-degrees to form a foot at an end of the leg opposite the bracket.
6 . The modular camp toilet of claim 1 , the bracket being U-shaped and separate from the main body of the leg, the main body of the leg having a U-section formed at one end of the main body that attached to the bracket by a pivot.
7 . The modular camp toilet of claim 6 , the U-section including a locking button that extends through a locking aperture in the bracket to lock the leg in a deployed position.
8 . The modular camp toilet of claim 7 , the bracket further including a second locking aperture for receiving the locking button to lock the leg in a folded position.
9 . The modular camp toilet of claim 1 , wherein loosening the at least two fasteners of each leg allow the legs to detach from the seat for packing.
10 . A modular camp toilet, comprising:
at least three legs each having a bracket with at least four threaded apertures for receiving at least four fasteners, each positioned in a different one of the at least four threaded apertures; and a seat formed of at least three separate seat portions of similar size, each end of each seat portion including two open-ended slots sized and shaped to receive two of the at least four fasteners on one side of one leg; wherein the two fasteners secure the leg to the seat portion when positioned within the at least two slots and tightened.
11 . The modular camp toilet of claim 10 , the bracket being perpendicular to a main body of the leg.
12 . The modular camp toilet of claim 10 , wherein the seat, when the seat portions are assembled with the legs, forms a flat surface with an internal aperture having a diameter of at least 60% of an external diameter of the seat.
13 . The modular camp toilet of claim 12 , the seat being one of circular and elliptical and the internal aperture being one of circular and elliptical.
14 . The modular camp toilet of claim 10 , each leg being formed from a bar of material with a bend of less than ninety-degrees to form a foot at an end of the leg opposite to the bracket.
15 . The modular camp toilet of claim 10 , the bracket being separate from a main body of the leg and movably attaching to a U-section formed at one end of the main body by a pivot.
16 . The modular camp toilet of claim 15 , the U-section including a locking button for extending through a locking aperture in the bracket to lock the leg in a deployed position.
17 . The modular camp toilet of claim 16 , the bracket further including a second locking aperture for receiving the locking button to lock the leg in a folded position.
18 . The modular camp toilet of claim 10 , wherein loosening the at least four fasteners of each leg allow the leg to detach from the seat portion for packing.
19 . A set of modular components for building a packable camp toilet, comprising:
a first seat having a flat surface and forming (a) a first internal aperture and (b) evenly positioned around the flat surface, groups of at least two first open-ended slots; a second seat formed of at least three separate seat portions of similar size, each end of each seat portion including two second open-ended slots, wherein the at least three separate seat portions collectively form a flat surface with a second internal aperture; a first leg formed from a bar of material with a bracket at one end and forming a first aperture group of first threaded apertures and a second aperture group of second threaded apertures,
wherein the first leg and two fasteners positioned in different ones of the first threaded apertures couples with the first seat when the fasteners are positioned in the at least two first open-ended slots and tightened, and
wherein the first leg and four fasteners positioned in different ones of the second threaded apertures couples with two different ones of the three separate seat portions when the fasteners are positioned in the two second open-ended slots of each seat portion and tightened; and
a second leg having a main body formed from a bar of material and a bracket movably attached to a U-section formed at one end of the main body by a pivot, the bracket forming a first aperture group of first threaded apertures and a second aperture group of second threaded apertures,
wherein the second leg and two fasteners positioned in different ones of the first threaded apertures couples with the first seat when the fasteners are positioned in the at least two first open-ended slots and tightened, and
wherein the second leg, fitted with four fasteners positioned in different ones of the second threaded apertures, couples with two different ones of the three separate seat portions when the fasteners are positioned in the two second open-ended slots of each seat portion and tightened.
20 . The set of modular components of claim 19 , wherein the first internal aperture has a diameter of at least 60% of an external diameter of the first seat and the second internal aperture has a diameter of at least 60% of an external diameter of the second seat.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
