Abstract
A dump bucket toilet is described, with an improved support for the bucket, a manual control that can save water, and an outlet region which efficiently directs dumped water into the toilet bowl. A support (60, FIG. 1) for the bucket has a mount portion (62) mounted on an upper portion of the toilet tank and has a largely downwardly extending support portion (100), the support portion pivotally supporting the middle of a rod (104) that extends between the opposite sides of the bucket. A manually operable control (152, FIG. 5) is operable in a full-flush mode to pivot the bucket by a first angle to a full release position to release almost all bucket water, the control being operable in a second partial-flush mode to pivot the bucket by a smaller second angle to release about half of the bucket water. A funnel (24, FIG. 1) extends at least four inches above the bottom of the container, with the funnel walls forming an included angle of about 14.degree. to efficiently direct the dumped water. In between flushings, water fills the bottom of the container up to the top of the funnel.
