Abstract
A toilet of the incinerating type includes several pots which are set on a turntable at equal angular intervals, with one of the pots ready for use at all times.

A toilet of the incineration type, said toilet comprising:
- a turntable mounted for rotation about an axis;
- a plurality of waste receiving pots removably mounted on said turntable at equal angular intervals about said axis;
- means for rotating said turntable about said axis to selectively align each of said pots at predetermined positions including a waste receiving position and an incineration position;
- an incinerator located to confront one of said pots aligned at said incineration position;
- means for removing said one pot from said turntable and tightly joining said one pot to said incinerator, such that the interiors of said one pot and said incinerator form an enclosed chamber;
- means for jetting combustion gas into said chamber to thereby incinerate waste contained in said one pot;
- stirring means extending into said chamber for stirring and kneading said waste during incineration;
- means for discharging exhaust gas from said chamber during said incineration;
- and
- means for circulating cooling air around the exterior surfaces of said incinerator and said one pot during said incineration to thereby cool said exterior surfaces, and for then mixing said cooling air with said exhaust gas to thereby reduce the temperature of said exhaust gas.
