Abstract
A portable urine disposal cabinet system. The system is a cabinet enclosure with privacy side wings which open as doors to allow the user to urinate in the cup with a sufficient level of privacy. The unit is self-contained and designed to provide a private and efficient means by which an individual (man or woman) can urinate in a cup. Once the cup is filled with urine a media mixture is manually dispensed via mechanical action into the cup of urine to remove the odor and gel/absorb the urine such that the filled cup can be disposed of in a garbage. The cabinet also has a holder for storing unused cups and lids and funnels.

A self-contained cabinet urinal system comprising:
- a cabinet assembly including;
- a housing having;
- an inner volume;
- and
- an outer surface;
- at least one media hopper;
- a mechanical lever assembly;
- and
- a dispenser;
- wherein said self-contained cabinet urinal system comprises said cabinet assembly;
- wherein said cabinet assembly comprises in functional combination said housing, said at least one media hopper, said mechanical lever assembly, and said dispenser;
