A self-contained sewage waste disposal system including a housing structure and a toilet bowl adapted to receive human waste and fluid for diluting the waste, transporting the waste and rinsing the bowl. A removable filter cassette is in the housing in communication with the toilet bowl. The bowl is flushed and the contents are dumped into the filter cassette and the bowl is subsequently refilled. Filters in the cassette separate the coarse and fine particles of solid material from the fluid received from the bowl. The solid material is stored in the cassette in a compact manner for subsequent disposal upon removal of the cassette. Fine filtering and decoloring is accomplished by a carbon canister. A reservoir is provided for storage of fluid after removal of solid material therefrom in the cassette. Pumps and interconnected conduits are in the housing to transport fluid from the interior of the system to fill the bowl after a flush and to transport filtered fluid from the filter cassette to a position for recirculation and to the reservoir. Controls are provided to pass the fluid through the system to facilitate the collection and disposal of sewage waste within the system in a predetermined sequence.

A removable filter cassette is in the housing in communication with the toilet bowl. Structure is provided for flushing the bowl and dumping the contents into the filter cassette and for subsequent refilling of the bowl. A filter is in the cassette for separating the particles of solid material from the fluid received from the bowl. The solid material is stored in the cassette in a compact manner for subsequent disposal upon removal of the cassette. Pumps and interconnected conduits are in the housing to transport fluid directly from an external source to fill the bowl after a flush, to transport and recirculate filtered fluid through the system for further waste disposal treatment, and to direct the effluent fluid from the system thereafter. Controls are provided to pass the fluid through the system and facilitate the collection and disposal of sewage waste within the system in a predetermined sequence.

Self-contained flow through sewage waste disposal system

The valve can be slid over a tube for feeding intravenous fluids to a patient and is manually operable with one hand to control the flow through the tube. A rotatable spindle moves a wedge-shaped draw bar to force a platten with protuberances against the tube to reduce the cross-sectional areas of the tube at multiple points for sensitive metering action.
