A bath waste 10 is described including an overflow head 12 having an inlet, and an outlet portion 16 connectable to a down pipe 18, the head 12 and the outlet 16 being connected by a ball and socket joint 34. The joint 34 is factory-sealable to prevent users accessing the joint. Embodiments of the invention may also include a faucet outlet on the head, and a lever-operated bath plug actuator. The bath waste 10 is preferably produced from brass.

A waste container with an inner lining. The inner lining has at least an inner dirt-repelling layer of an adhesion-reducing polymer material. The direct-repelling layer has a non-smooth surface and can contain an anti-bacterial agent.

A sealable container for receiving toxic waste for long-term storage is described, the container comprising sheet metal members welded together to form a main fillable volume; four hollow, sheet metal, vertically directed leg portions situated at corner positions on the container, and, a separate lid member fixable to the container to seal at least the main fillable volume wherein the majority of the weld length utilized in the container construction is constituted by fillet welds. Further const...

This application relates to a waste compressor particularly adapted for household or domestic usage which is powered by water pressure from a conventional water supply. The compressor incorporates a basket type frame in which a waste material carrying basket is slidably mounted, the basket forming the movable element for the compression motor and defining with the base of the casing, the expansion chamber for the compressor. A stationary die element removably connected to the top of the casing f...

A screw force feeds waste to a swing-hammer rotor shredder. Waste processed by the shredder sifts through a grate into a compaction chamber. A first compaction ram compresses the waste by pressing down on it at an angle of about 30.degree., and a second compaction ram further compresses the waste by pressing horizontally on it. A gate opens and the compressed waste is extruded. Sensors and a control circuit coordinate the various functions and automatically start and stop the apparatus under cer...

A burner for disposing of waste materials by combustion including a housing defining a substantially closed combustion chamber, means for injecting at least one flame to the combustion chamber tangential thereto, means for discharging combusted materials from the combustion chamber and means for creating a static pressure in the combustion chamber to provide for a retention time of waste materials in the chamber to permit complete combustion.

Self-contained waste collector usable in a manufacturing operation and having a spillway of U-shaped configuration in confronting downstream relation to a path of moving debris and directing a gravity waterfall of collection liquid to effect a continuously wetted exposed surface of increased collection area coextensive with the spillway for entrapping debris for disposal.

A waste remover of human waste is disclosed. The waste remover comprises a remover member and a moveable member. The moveable member is located in a tube. The tube is also coupled to a head. A remover member extends from the head.

A waste receptacle comprises two hinged sectional parts and a bag compartment at the bottom portion of the sectional parts to receive and to provide access to a roll of bags.

A waste outlet has a clamping ring which seats a flared filler tube. The tube directs water into a well in which the water rises and overflows into the bowl of the outlet. The filler tube contains a solids filter disc which is connected to the filler tube. When the cover is removed, the tube and the disc are removable as a pair. The disc cleans the well as it is retracted. The disc drops clear of the tube allowing the disc to be cleaned before re-insertion. A version for spa baths has a screw op...
