A portable toilet having a battery operated flushing assembly that is powered by batteries carried in the toilet. The batteries provide for a “pulsed”flushing action of the flush water and this is achieved by the use of an axial flow pump which is operable to lift small amounts of water small distances to the bowl in a repeatable fashion. This facilitates flushing of the toilet, makes it easier for the user to flush the toilet, and provides for efficient and complete flushing. A selectively operable closure plate prevents leakage of water from the toilet bowl during transport of the toilet.

In a toilet which includes a seat section having a bowl with a bottom discharge opening and a flush water discharge means for discharging flush water into said bowl for flushing waste in said bowl through said discharge opening, said bowl having a generally horizontal ledge at the upper end thereof, said discharge means being operable of discharge flush water in a generally horizontal direction onto said ledge so that it will travel around the periphery of said bowl on said ledge, and means for operating said discharge means intermittently so that pulses of flush water can be discharged onto said ledge, said water in each pulse initially moving onto said ledge at a high velocity and as the water moving on the ledge loses it momentum, and as the velocity of the water decreases, the centrifugal force of the water that is holding it on the ledge decresed and the water gradually runs off said ledge around substantially the entire periphery of said bowl to uniformly wet said bowl.
