  • Patent number: 5799340
    Abstract: A uni-sex water conserving urinal which has a bowl which is engageable with a hanger on or near the toilet. A flush plate directs water into the bowl. In use, the bowl is detached and moved to a position of use which is permitted by the flexible waste and water supply line. The water supply is from a reservoir in the hanger. The reservoir may include a pump for manually pressurizing the flushing water. Flush water may be supplied by manually filling the reservoir or by connecting the reservoir across a valve to a water supply. A universal connector may be used to connect the waste line from the bowl into an existing drain line.

  • Patent number: 5390374
    Abstract: A water conserving urinal for male and female use attachable to a toilet. The urinal includes a urinal bowl which is supported on a flexible member secured at its lower end to a pivot member. Water is supplied to the bowl from the toilet water supply line via a flexible supply line. A flush valve is provided in the water line and distributes a low volume of water around the interior of the bowl through an interiorly extending flush ring. A waste line extends from discharge of the urinal bowl through the center of the flexible support and through the toilet bowl to the sewer. Fluid waste is thus discharged directly to the sewer line without the necessity of a full flush of the toilet resulting in substantial water savings. The pivot support and flexible support permit the urinal to be moved forward to the desired position and height to accommodate the physical requirements of the user.
