ABSTRACT:
A portable, collapsible toilet with a central, main section of box-like construction, which is made of corrugated cardboard, which central section is open both on the top and bottom, and accepts therein a disposable, plastic bag which receives the human waste products. The central section is flanked on either side thereof by a small, box-like supportive end-section upon which one directly sits during use of the commode. Each box-like end-section is also made of corrugated cardboard, is open on the top and bottom, and has an intermediate stiffening member to enhance its structural integrity, in order to support greater weight thereon. The central section is provided with a pair of pivotal cover-members formed integrally with the upper edge surfaces of the central section. Each cover-member is a flat sheet of cardboard, and pivotally connected to a respective upper edge surface of the central section, so that during storage of the commode, each cover-member is in its downwardly-pivoted state within the interior of the central section. In the erected state of the commode, each cover-member is pivoted up and out of the central section's interior, and pivoted until it closes off the open top of a respective box-like end-section, whereby the two cover-members thus provide a pair of spaced-apart seat-surfaces upon which one may sit during use.
