DETAIL DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0019] The car potty is an apparatus invented to be used in a car for voiding. The female version has 4 parts. 2 seats, one to fit an adult buttocks (FIG. 4) the other to fit a child's buttocks (FIG. 5). A receptacle (FIG. 2), and a receptacle lining (FIG. 1). The two seats and the receptacle are made from hard plastic, strong enough to hold the weight of an adult. The child's seat (FIG. 5) is made to fit on top of the adult seat. When a child is using the potty, the child's seat is placed on top of the adult seat, and is kept in place via two slots on the adult seat (one centrally placed in the back FIG. 4 (C), and one centrally placed in the front FIG. 4 (D) The child's seat has 2 notches at the bottom. One centrally placed in the back 6 (A) FIG and one centrally placed in the front FIG. 6 (B) These notches fit in the two slots on the adult seat to keep the child seat in place. The adult seat must always be in place when the potty is being used by child or adult for two reasons, (1) the child seat cannot be used to sit on by itself; it need the support and stability the adult seat provides; and (2) underneath the adult seat is a track that keeps the receptacle and receptacle lining in place. There is nothing to hold the child's seat to the receptacle. Only the adult seat will be in direct contact with the receptacle. The child's seat always sits on the adult seat for the child to use, and comes off when the adult uses the potty. The receptacle (FIG. 2) is like a circular band with a width of 3″ in the shape and size of a standard toilet bowl opening. It has no base. The receptacle lining (FIG. 1), is made from absorptive material to absorpt the voided urine. Its outer layer is made of plastic material to prevent leakage. The diameter of the receptacle and the receptacle lining are almost the same size, with the lining a tad bit smaller in diameter making the lining fit snugly in the receptacle. The receptacle lining is also a ¼″ longer than the receptacle. That extra ¼″ folds over the top of the receptacle and has two purposes. It keeps the lining in place, and it provides for a tight fit of the receptacle top and the hollow track underneath the adult seat.
[0020] To put the apparatus together for use, the receptacle lining is placed within the receptacle, and the extra ¼″ of the receptacle lining is then folded over the top of the receptacle. The adult seat is then placed (tract side down) on top of the receptacle, sandwiching the receptacle top between its circular track. The tightly fitted tract will keep the receptacle and its lining in place. At this point the apparatus is ready for adult use. Next, the child's seat is placed over the adult seat, and is kept in place via the slots on the adult seat, and the notches on the child's seat. It is now ready to be use by a child. To dispose a soiled receptacle lining, both seats are separated from the receptacle, and the lining taken out and dispose.
[0021] The male version has four parts. The no-base hand held receptacle, FIG. 8. Features a hand held handle (J), and a void hole (H). to void through. A void hole cap FIG. 12 to contain all voided material within the apparatus. A top cover FIG. 11 which holds the receptacle lining in place, and holds all the voided material in the receptacle. A receptacle lining FIG. 10 featuring a cut-out area (B) that aligns with the void hole of the receptacle. This lining is a tid bit smaller than the receptacle so that it fits snugly within the receptacle. To change the lining, the cover is removed from the top, the lining is taken out and dispose of.
