Publication number: 20190112800Abstract: Described is a fluid control valve for use in a urinal having a drip edge to direct fluid flow. The fluid control valve includes an outer sealing body wall surrounding a sealing area and a flexible membrane positioned within the sealing area. The flexible membrane creates a seal with the outer sealing body wall within the sealing area. The drip edge of the fluid control valve may be formed in the flexible membrane or the outer sealing body wall to direct fluid away from the fluid control valve to prevent formation of solids build-up. Additionally, the drip edge can direct fluid towards a flushing sensor to initiate a urinal flushing operation.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 12, 2018Publication date: April 18, 2019Inventor: Edward Michael Goldsmith

Patent number: 10184235Abstract: A fluid inlet portion for a waterless urinal cartridge is presented. The fluid inlet portion comprises to fluid director comprising a non-linear surface proximate a throat portion of the cartridge formed to impart a horizontal velocity component to fluid flowing through the throat portion of the cartridge to reduce vertical turbulence within the fluid. The fluid director can be formed so that it is in fluid communication with at least part of a fluid layer within the cartridge. The non-linear surface imparts a horizontal velocity component, thereby reducing disruption of the fluid layer by fluid flowing through the throat portion of the cartridge. The fluid director may be positioned within the cartridge to impart a substantially horizontal swirling motion to fluid within the cartridge. A fluid deflector proximate the fluid director can receive fluid from the fluid deflector and for re-directing the fluid from the fluid director.Type: GrantFiled: May 28, 2014Date of Patent: January 22, 2019Assignee: FALCON WATERFREE TECHNOLOGIES, LLCInventor: Edward Michael Goldsmith

The splash reducer is generally in the form of a spout with a tapered exit area for accelerating and directing the fluid. The spout may comprise converting fins to urge fluid to collect in a progressively narrower channel. When the cartridge is installed into a housing, the splash reducer ensures that fluid exiting the cartridge transitions into the housing with minimal disturbance, substantially parallel to the housing. The splash reducer is formed of a flexible material or is hinged with respect to the cartridge body to allow for easy insertion into a housing.Type: GrantFiled: May 28, 2014Date of Patent: January 22, 2019Assignee: FALCON WATERFREE TECHNOLOGIES, LLCInventor: Edward Michael Goldsmith
