Claim 3:
4. A portable toilet system including a flexible waste receiving bowl with memory to return to an original shape thereof after being flexed and supported above a lower toilet wall of the system and an agitator mechanism engaging a lower and outer surface of the bowl to mix a reagent with waste in the bowl, the agitator mechanism comprising:
(a) an agitator rotor shaft secured to a lower toilet wall of a chemical toilet in vertical alignment below the waste receiving bowl of the toilet system;
(b) an agitator rotor mounted on the shaft to enable rotation of the agitator rotor about a rotor axis thereof;
(c) an agitator bar attached to an upper end of the agitator rotor and rotating with the agitator rotor; the agitator bar having diametrically opposed first and second ends;
(d) first and second agitator rollers rotatably joined to respective first and second ends of the agitator bar by roller shafts so as to allow rotation of the rollers such that each roller rotates about a central axis thereof; each first and second roller shaft having a central shaft axis that is coaxial with a respective roller axis; each shaft axis extending radially outwardly and upwardly from the agitator bar;
(e) an agitator motor engaged with the agitator rotor in such a manner as to cause rotation of the agitator rotor about the rotor axis; and
(f) the agitator rollers being spaced from each other on the agitator bar less than the width of the bowl so as to be configured in such a manner as to engage and depress the lower and outer surface of the bowl in opposition to each other and so as to flex the bowl inward whereby rotation of the agitator rotor causes mixing and swirling of waste and a reagent in the bowl.
