Abstract: This invention provides an automatic elevator urinal which uses sensors. Currently male users'urinate in unisex toilet bowls or in stationary male urinals so there is many occurrences of urine spilling outside the urinal or toilet bowl resulting in bad odours and unhygienic conditions and use the same amount of water as with defecation. This invention provides a solution to these problems. It provides an urinal for men which calculates the appropriate height the urinal bowl should be for each different male user and adjusts the urinal bowl height so it will be a perfect match for each individual user. This will maximise ease of use and minimise urine spillage.

Abstract: The height adjustable standpipe includes multiple, cylindrical, coaxial drain sections of gradually diminishing cross section. The sections preferably alternate between brass and PVC plastic, and have grooves adjacent the ends of the PVC sections for retaining O-rings that serve as gaskets between the two adjacent sections. Thus, for example, a PVC section would preferably have one or two peripheral grooves on the outer surface near the end that passes inside of the next adjacent brass section, and the same PVC section would have one or two peripheral grooves on the inner surface near the opposite end, through which passes another brass section. Each of these peripheral grooves includes a rubber O-ring seated therein and projecting therefrom to form a water-tight seal with the adjacent surface of the brass section engaged by that end of the PVC section. A travel stop mechanism is employed to limit the travel of the sections of the adjustable standpipe with respect to one another.
