  • Patent number: 11473285
    Abstract: A urine splatter suppression device and related method are provided. The device can include a base that engages a rim of a toilet, an arm including a corresponding recess and/or projection that engages a base recess and/or a base projection so that the arm is removably supported by the base adjacent the rim, and a deflection plate is joined with the arm and angled between 60 degrees and 90 degrees inclusive relative to the arm and extending transversely inward toward the longitudinal axis of the toilet from the side rim of the toilet. Multiple fingers can extend upward from the deflection plate. The device can be configured so a stream of liquid impinging the plate and/or fingers from above the toilet is dissipated to impair splatter of the stream to an area outside the toilet. A related method of use also is provided.
