  • Patent number: 5077840
    Abstract: In order to reduce incidents of misdirecting urine into a toilet pan the present disclosure proposes apparatus comprising a preformed shape sustaining open channel member with an outlet to one end and a support member, preferably a generally C-shaped flanges carried by the channel member outwardly thereof and adapted, in use, to rest on the rim of the toilet pan to support the open channel member in a free-standing manner without reliance on resilience thereof, the channel member extends upwardly in a direction above the rim and with its outlet extending into the pan. Improved stability of the apparatus results when the longitudinal axis of the open channel member is inclined relative to the plane of the support member--such as to tip the channel member forwardly for the case of a forward facing channel member positioned on the rear part of the pan rim.
