BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTIONFor some people, when urinating in the sitting position urine splashes, squirts or leaks through the space between the toilet seat and the bowl, causing urine to soak their clothing or run down the front of the bowl onto the floor.
The source of the direction of the urine flow is well known. For example, when males choose to urinate from the sitting position. If the man does not properly direct his urine stream, such as if has a partial erection, has had prostate surgery, has had kidney stones and requires a stent, or is a child that has not learned how to direct or is urinating in the middle of the night and is less aware of the direction of their urine stream, urine still splashes, squirts for leaks between the toilet bowl and the seat. This misdirection can also happen with a woman's urine stream.
Therefore, it would be appropriate to provide a device that averts urine from splashing, squirting or leaking between the rim of the toilet bowl and the toilet set when men and women urinate from the sitting position.
The top portion of the deflector has evenly placed slits cut perpendicular to the exterior edge to allow for flection so the deflector can adjust for the varying curvature of any Western style toilet seat. A mild adhesive, magnetic, or mechanical attachment is on the topside of the upper portion of the deflector so it can be easily attached and removed from said toilet seat.
Lower Portion of the Urine DeflectorCan flex to any Western style toilet seat because it is made of a liquid repellent plastic or other liquid repellent materials.
