Eco-Friendly Portable Toilet System with Magnetic Pegs for Secure Bag Placement

Abstract

A portable toilet system for outdoor use includes a plurality of pegs and a biodegradable bag liner. Each peg features a stake with a pointed end for ground insertion and a peg body with a horizontal recess to secure the bag liner. The peg body has two magnets adjacent to the recess and a removable slider with a magnet that can couple to either magnet on the peg body, allowing for adjustable bag liner securement. The biodegradable bag liner is configured to be held open by the pegs, providing a convenient and environmentally friendly solution for managing human waste during outdoor activities. The system ensures secure placement and easy adjustment of the bag liner, enhancing user convenience and environmental safety.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A portable toilet system for outdoor use, comprising:
 a plurality of pegs, each peg comprising:
 a stake having a pointed end for insertion into the ground and an opposite end connected to a peg body; 
 the peg body having a horizontal recess for receiving and securing a portion of a biodegradable bag liner; 
 a removable slider configured to engage with the peg body, wherein the slider includes a magnet; 
 the peg body including two magnets positioned adjacent to the horizontal recess, allowing the removable slider to be coupled to either of the two magnets to adjust its position; 
 wherein the slider, when coupled to a magnet, secures the biodegradable bag liner within the horizontal recess; 
 and 
   a biodegradable bag liner configured to be secured by the plurality of pegs.   
     
     
         2 . The portable toilet system of  claim 1 , wherein the removable slider further comprises a toothed edge configured to trap the biodegradable bag liner against the horizontal recess. 
     
     
         3 . The portable toilet system of  claim 2 , wherein the horizontal recess in the peg body includes a toothed edge corresponding to the toothed edge of the removable slider. 
     
     
         4 . The portable toilet system of  claim 1 , wherein the removable slider further comprises a ridged protrusion to facilitate gripping and sliding relative to the horizontal recess. 
     
     
         5 . The portable toilet system of  claim 1 , wherein the peg body further comprises interlocking protrusions and grooves configured to connect multiple pegs together. 
     
     
         6 . The portable toilet system of  claim 1 , wherein the biodegradable bag liner is made of a compostable polymer blend comprising polylactic acid (PLA) and polybutylene adipate terephthalate (PBAT). 
     
     
         7 . The portable toilet system of  claim 1 , further comprising a compressed tablet configured to be placed inside the biodegradable bag liner, wherein the tablet comprises a mixture of lime, sawdust, and wood ash. 
     
     
         8 . The portable toilet system of  claim 7 , wherein the compressed tablet further comprises activated charcoal to enhance odor control. 
     
     
         9 . The portable toilet system of  claim 7 , wherein the compressed tablet further comprises microorganisms such as  Bacillus subtilis  to accelerate the decomposition of human waste. 
     
     
         10 . The portable toilet system of  claim 1 , wherein each peg further comprises an additional recess configured to house the slider when not in use. 
     
     
         11 . The portable toilet system of  claim 1 , wherein the peg body is constructed from a biodegradable plastic material comprising polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA). 
     
     
         12 . The portable toilet system of  claim 1 , wherein the stake of each peg is made of stainless steel to provide corrosion resistance. 
     
     
         13 . The portable toilet system of  claim 1 , wherein the peg body is constructed from a durable, lightweight plastic material comprising acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS). 
     
     
         14 . The portable toilet system of  claim 1 , wherein the biodegradable bag liner includes additives such as calcium carbonate to enhance its strength and puncture resistance. 
     
     
         15 . The portable toilet system of  claim 1 , wherein the peg body further includes an anti-slip coating comprising thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) to improve stability in various soil conditions. 
     
     
         16 . The portable toilet system of  claim 1 , wherein the magnets in the peg body and removable slider are neodymium magnets. 
     
     
         17 . The portable toilet system of  claim 7 , wherein the compressed tablet further comprises organic fibers such as hemp to improve its structural integrity. 
     
     
         18 . The portable toilet system of  claim 1 , wherein the biodegradable bag liner includes a layer treated with a biodegradable antimicrobial agent such as chitosan. 
     
     
         19 . The portable toilet system of  claim 1 , wherein the horizontal recess of the peg body and the removable slider are configured with snap-fit features to enhance the securing of the biodegradable bag liner. 
     
     
         20 . The portable toilet system of  claim 1 , wherein the peg body is colored with non-toxic, biodegradable dyes to enhance visibility in outdoor settings.
