Abstract: A waterless urinal having a motion sensor that opens the drain valve. This sensor also turns on an internal venting fan that draws air from in front of the P trap, upwardly thru the fan, and downwardly to vent the air down the sewer after the P trap. The whole system can be operated by a solar-powered battery system making it well suited for use in off-grid locations, areas prone to drought or water shortage, mobile homes, rest stops, and stadiums.

Abstract: A urinal capable of suppressing the flow speed differential between the flow speed of flush water flowing into the front side of an ascending pipe and the flow speed of flush water flowing into the back side thereof, and of suppressing the occurrence of stagnation in the flow of flush water, and of suppressing the occurrence of uric scale. The urinal having a discharge trap including a horizontal pipe; a top portion of horizontal pipe is formed by a return flow path-forming portion at the bottom end of the shared wall; and a resistance portion for slowing the flow speed of flush water flowing in the vicinity of this bottom portion is formed at the bottom portion of the horizontal pipe.

The actuator element (8), fan (9) and filter element (11) are mounted on a common housing (12), particularly arranged in a common housing (12).

Abstract: A method and an apparatus are provided for deodorizing and disinfecting air and droplets from urinal, toilet bowl, and other receivers and holders of urine and fecal matter. The apparatus comprises a housing (1) having an air inlet (2) and air outlet (3), wherein the housing (1) encloses a droplet removal chamber (4) for removing droplets from airflow; a deodorization and disinfection chamber (5) for removing air contaminants in the airflow; and an delivery unit (6) for airflow generation. Being actively drawn into the apparatus, air contaminants such as odor, bacteria and virus are removed without discharge of contaminated air and causing secondary pollution. The apparatus and method provide odorless and comfortable environment and avoid disease transmission in both public and domestic toilets.

Abstract: An exhaust unit for a hanging toilet bowl is described, and includes a house with a back wall and a front wall, two exhaust coupling tubes extending in the house from the front wall to the back wall and having a first end projecting outside the house back wall. The first end of a second exhaust coupling tube can have a diameter that is larger than the diameter of the first end of a first exhaust coupling tube. At its second end, the first exhaust coupling tube can be provided with a sealing ring arranged in a groove-shaped recess of the inner wall. At its second end, the second exhaust coupling tube can provided with a sealing ring arranged in a groove-shaped recess of the inner wall.

Abstract: A ventilated wall mounted urinal having a ventilation orifices integral to the sidewall of said urinal. Said orifices connected to at least one ventilation channel attached to a ventilation duct. The ventilation duct attached to an exhaust duct within said wall in fluid communication with a ventilation duct. A ventilator attached to the exhaust duct produces a negative pressure that removes odors from the urinal.

Abstract: Concealed-wire Sensor are there to activate the Exhaust System in back, when it senses the need and shuts-off automatically after ten minutes but if the owner wants, it can stay ON for long hours also. Exhaust Turbine pulls the smelly air in, through Air Inlet, not letting the smell escape-off the Urinal. The Sensor also flushes, when sensing the need automatically. An Attachment would be hooked-up in the back to take Urine Smell exhaust out of the premises.

Abstract: An odor trap having a cup-shaped housing, which has an inlet located on an upper end and an outlet on a lower end leading into a drain line. A siphon blocks the passage of gas from the outlet to the inlet. A urine collector is configured in the shape of an inlet funnel. The inlet funnel empties into an open tube with a relatively narrow inside diameter.

Abstract: A urinal or toilet ventilation system for removing unpleasant odors from the vicinity of the urinal or toilet, both during usage and for a short period of time following usage. The ventilation system has a series of flexible water ducts extending throughout the device and leading to the outside. Additionally, the device has a series of air ducts extending throughout the device and attaching to a motor which in turns pushes the air through another series of ducts leading to the outside. In a further embodiment the urinal or toilet has a sensor to detect the presence of a user for actuating the motor and begins the air extraction system. Upon the user leaving the vicinity of the urinal or toilet, the sensor has a built in delay, and continues to extract any unpleasant odors for a short duration.

Abstract: A urinal for capturing and directing urine into a drain line. The inventive device includes an adjustable mounting structure securable to a wall surface within a bathroom. A urinal is supported by the adjustable mounting structure and can be positioned at a desired height. A water conduit communicates with a water supply line of a nearby sink or the like to permit selective flushing of the urinal, and a drain conduit communicates with a sink drain line to receive and dispose of the urine and flush water. The device can be readily installed into existing bathroom structures to provide an alternative to a conventional toilet, thereby reducing flushing of the toilet and saving water.

Abstract: An odor guide apparatus for a toilet. The apparatus includes an odor guide unit for guiding odor rising from a toilet bowl to flow in a direction away from a user of the toilet bowl, an attachment unit for fixing the odor guide unit to an attaching portion including the toilet bowl and a wall face, and an advertisement display unit formed at a portion of or an entire surface of the odor guide unit facing the user.

In this urinal the air space communicates with a secondary side of the drain trap, and a fan for blowing the air within the air space towards the secondary side of the drain trap is provided in the vicinity of the drain trap.

Abstract: A flush-operated bathroom fan is provided which utilizes a float-operated actuator in the water closet tank of the toilet which actuates a switch, turning on the ceiling fan, when the water level in the water closet tank falls indicating that the toilet has been flushed, and when the float rises up again to the normal full-tank water level, the switch is thrown again and the fan is deactivated.
