Portable toilets, often referred to as porta-potties, Port-a-Johns (American English), or Porta Loos (UK), ("Portaloo" is a UK and European Community registered trade mark) are simple portable enclosures containing a chemical toilet (a toilet bowl filled with disinfectant instead of water) which are typically used as a temporary toilet for construction sites or large gatherings because of their durability and convenience. Most portable toilets have black open-front U-shaped toilet seats with a cover. They are often constructed out of lightweight molded plastic. The first US patent for a polyethylene plastic portable restroom was issued in the 1950s to Harvey Heather who was the founder of JW Enterprises and was called the "strong box" - a solid, molded, stand alone chemical toilet. The second US patent for a polyethylene plastic portable restroom was in the 1960s to George Harding, who was a co-founder of PolyJohn Corporation with Ed Cooper and George Hiskes.
