ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to portable restrooms and, more specifically, to an improved portable restroom having a removable waste storage container.
2. Description of the Prior Art
At many construction sites as well as outdoor events such as fairs, concerts and sporting activities, there are a severe lack of restroom facilities available to be used. Because of this, many construction sites and outdoor events have portable restroom facilities installed. Unfortunately, these portable restroom facilities are hard to transport and move around.
Presently, portable restroom facilities are comprise of a small housing which has a single door to enter the housing. Inside the housing, a permanent storage tank is installed. The storage tank is used to hold waste products. The storage tank will have an opening at the top on which a toilet seat is positioned. A small urinal may also be positioned on one of the side walls. Some tubing is used to connect the urinal to the storage tank.
For sanitary and health reasons, the waste by-products in the portable restroom facilities need to be drained on a fairly regular basis. In order to remove the waste by-products stored in the permanent storage tank, a drainage truck must visit each portable restroom facility. The drainage truck must couple a tubing from the truck to a drainage opening in the storage tank. The truck will then drain the waste by-products from the storage tank in a similar manner as a drainage truck drains the contents from a septic tank. As one can see, the drainage process is a time consuming and very dirty and unsanitary process.
Therefore, a need existed to provide an improved portable restroom facility. The improved portable restroom facility will have a removable waste storage container. The removable waste storage container will overcome the above mentioned problems found in prior art portable restroom facilities.
