Claims
- 1. An apparatus for aerobic biological transformation of human waste material comprising:
- (a) an aerobic composting compartment for holding said waste during aerobic biological transformation, said compartment having upper inlet and upper outlet means;
- (b) a waterless toilet adapted to receive deposited human waste;
- (c) a cup-shaped paper receptacle, associated with said waterless toilet, having a cup portion and a cone portion, said cup portion being fabricated from a limited water absorbing material and said cone portion being fabricated from a water absorbing material, means for inserting said cup-shaped receptacle into said waterless toilet prior to depositing said human waste, said cup portion containing said human waste;
- (d) a first conduit, coupling said waterless toilet to said composting compartment inlet means, for transporting said cup-shaped paper receptacle containing said human waste from said toilet to said composting compartment, said cone portion wiping said first conduit interior clean as it traverses through said conduit;
- (e) vacuum generating means, associated with said first conduit means, for creating a vacuum within said first conduit means thereby transporting said cup-shaped paper receptacle from said toilet to said composting compartment;
- (f) funnel means communicating with said first conduit for injecting decomposable garbage, cut grass, weeds, leaves and the like into said composting compartment thereby facilitating the decomposition of said human waste; and
- (g) an exhaust conduit, connected to said composting compartment outlet means, for exhausting air and water vapor from said composting compartment; and
- (h) a water vapor separator, associated with said exhaust conduit, for preventing condensed water vapor running back down the interior of said exhaust conduit into said composting compartment.
- 2. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein said cup portion includes a flat head portion.
- 3. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein said cup portion includes a conical shaped head portion.
- 4. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein said water vapor separator includes
- (a) a perforated conical member circumfentially abutting the interior of said exhaust conduit; and
- (b) a second conduit, disposed adjacent the top surface of said conical member, for draining the condensed water to a point remote from said exhaust conduit.
