Abstract:
1. A vacuum toilet system that includes a waste receptacle stand comprising: a panel that serves as a side of the stand, removably mounted in the stand; a valve housing formed in the panel having a single outlet for connection to the vacuum source and a single inlet aligned with the outlet and in selectable fluid communication with the outlet; a discharge disk mounted in the valve housing including a rotary section and a covering section, the disk being aperture-free except at the rotary section, the covering section being of a size and shape corresponding to the size and shape of the single outlet, the rotary section being mounted to the housing for rotary movement between a closed position in which the covering section seals the outlet from fluid communication with the inlet and an open position in which the covering section is clear of the outlet; a sleeve seal disposed in the valve housing between the outlet and the discharge disk, the sleeve seal abutting a perimeter of the outlet to seal the outlet when the discharge disk is in the closed position; and gearing mounted on the panel for rotating the discharge disk in response to a driving force applied to the gearing.
