Abstract: A machine and method for making frusto-conical liners for a funnel of the type used on a urinal for female individuals. The liners are dispensed from a dispenser of the telescopic type so that pressing down on a top part of the dispenser releases a liner from the dispenser. The funnel lined by the liner is cradled in an improved funnel holder that includes an ejector that knocks a used liner off the funnel when the funnel is returned to the holder so that the user need not handle the liner. The machine that performs the method of making the liners includes a station where flat liners are removed from a stack of liners, spread open, and placed on a mandrel. The mandrel rotates to a second station where the liner is folded into its final configuration. The mandrel next rotates to a third station where the liner is heat treated, and the mandrel then rotates to a fourth station where the liner is removed from the machine and added to a stack of nested liners for subsequent charging into a dispenser.

Abstract: A plumbing fixture for installation in restrooms that enables female individuals to urinate from a standing position. An elongate flexible hose has a urine collecting funnel at one end and the other end communicates with a bowl of the fixture. A sanitary liner is received by the rim of the funnel so that the funnel does not contact the body of the user. The liner is knocked off the funnel after use by a passive ejector arm when the funnel is suspended between a pair of hanger arms. The hanger arms each include a pair of arm members that guide and receive the funnel. Also, the fixture includes a trough formed in an upper portion of an inside surface to direct flushing water supplied to the fixture onto the suspended funnel for cleaning.

Abstract: A plumbing fixture for installation in women's rooms that enables female individuals to urinate from a standing position. An elongate flexible hose has a urine-collecting funnel at its top end and its bottom end is in communication with a water-holding bowl that is flushed by a siphoning action. A sanitary cuff lines the rim of the funnel so that the funnel does not contact the body of the user, and the cuff is knocked off the funnel after use by a passive ejector arm when the funnel is suspended between the arms of a hanger member.
