PORTABLE TOILET WITH BATTERY OPERATED FLUSH ASSEMBLY

摘要

A battery operated flush assembly (32) for a portable toilet (10). The flush assembly includes a pump (40) and motor mounted to the toilet's seat section. A battery pack (88) is removably mounted to the seat section and includes terminals (108) which, as a result of mounting, become coupled to the motor. The battery pack (88) supplies electrical power to the motor and includes an actuator (132), protected from inadvertent actuation within a recess (130), for electrically closing the electrical circuit and causing operation of the pump (40) to discharge flush water into the bowl (16). A check valve (48), located in-line with the discharged flush water, opens in response to the pumping of flush water and is maintained open with minimal line pressure to increase the life of the battery pack (88).
