Abstract: A flush mechanism for use in a urinal. The flush mechanism includes a flush reservoir pivotally mounted within a flush frame. The flush mechanism receives water from an inlet above the flush reservoir. The flush reservoir is pivotable from a fill position to a flush position whereby the water is dispensed to a manifold within the urinal for flushing of the urinal. The flow of water into the flush reservoir and the actuation of the flush reservoir may be directed by a controller.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is an apparatus for advertising a product or service and for sanitizing, deodorizing, and preventing splatter of fluids discharged in a urinal. The apparatus comprises a fluid permeable receptacle herein referred to as “receptacle” suspended along its longitudinal axis for absorbing discharged fluids and releasing the absorbed fluids into a drain of the urinal, an advertisement layer, and fasteners for fastening the receptacle to the urinal. The receptacle comprises particulate material embedded within compartments of the receptacle. The particulate material comprises an anti-splatter material for preventing splatter of fluids, an odor removal material for removing undesired odor from the fluids, and a sanitizing material for cleaning and disinfecting the fluids. Grommets along with the fasteners may be used for fastening the receptacle to the urinal. Advertisements may be printed on the surface of the receptacle or the advertisement layer.

Abstract: A splash-eliminating urinal contains an outer body and a receptor cavity within the outer body. The receptor cavity contains a rear surface having projecting concave rear walls that converge to form sides of an outwardly-projecting vertical ridge, and two side walls that transition to the rear walls. When a stream of urine is directed onto the rear walls, it adheres by surface tension without causing a splash.

Abstract: A self-cleaning urinal anti-splash device having a series of angled deflectors which send the urine stream ever deeper into a series of channels leading down toward the urinal drain. The angled deflectors not only send the urine stream ever deeper into the channels, but they simultaneously prevent the urine from exiting the channels in any direction other than downward toward the drain. This is accomplished by virtue of the fact that inner faces of the deflectors are adapted to deflect the urine back toward the urinal wall. No plane perpendicular to the direction of the initial urine stream is presented to the user. Gravity then causes it to flow to the drain. The device is also self cleaning because there is nothing to prevent the water of a flush cycle from passing through the vertical channels by gravity feed, thereby removing all the urine on the deflector surfaces. The device can be made of metal, plastic, rubber, or other inexpensive easily moldable substance.

Abstract: A wall mountable urinal having an ultra-low use of flush water, minimum material and a self-cleaning action. The urinal comprises an upright bowl that uses a flushing action provided by a misting water jet that is centered above the bowl and that provides a fine mist of water. The water mist washes the entire bowl up to its upper edge and the water droplets that accumulate upon the bowl are guided into a drain. An electrical detector that detects the user's presence is provided that is capable of initiating the flushing water mist during use and for a predetermined time thereafter.

Abstract: Provided herein are urinals which are of a splash-free design to the user. A urinal according to the invention comprises a splash wall and a special collection pocket design which reduces splashing and enables a minimum amount of water to be necessary for completely flushing the units, typically less than two ounces of water.

Most preferably the pivot arm has an adjustable length and the truncated cone has a top peripheral rim contoured to fit closely against a groin of a woman's body. The hinge comprises an upright flexible hose surrounded by a large cylindrical spring having a lower end portion secured in the base to thereby bias the pivot arm to the upright storage position.

Abstract: A public sanitary device, comprising one or more walk-in positions, each having a receptacle for human excrement and/or urine, which is connected to a waste pipe for connection to a sewage system.

Abstract: This invention provides an automatic elevator urinal which uses sensors. Currently male users'urinate in unisex toilet bowls or in stationary male urinals so there is many occurrences of urine spilling outside the urinal or toilet bowl resulting in bad odours and unhygienic conditions and use the same amount of water as with defecation. This invention provides a solution to these problems. It provides an urinal for men which calculates the appropriate height the urinal bowl should be for each different male user and adjusts the urinal bowl height so it will be a perfect match for each individual user. This will maximise ease of use and minimise urine spillage.

A float (33) floats on the urine (35) and is pressed upwardly by the buoyancy thereof against an opening (31) in the cover (29) of the pot (17). As soon as a pre-determinable column of urine rises above the float (33), the float (33) is pressed downwardly, and the urine (35) can flow out. In a preferred embodiment, the float (33) can be pulled downwardly by an electromagnet, in order to sporadically empty the urine (35), which has accumulated above the float (33) and the cover (29).

Abstract: A washable floor for a urinal consists of a metal grid (10) through which fluid may pass downwardly and an inclined sub-floor (6) on which the fluid falls. A flushing system flushes the inclined sub-floor (6) towards the urinal. This greatly reduces odors.

Abstract: A urinal anti-splash-back apparatus and associated methods are provided which preferably include a frame, a urine anti-splash-back filtering device mounted to the frame for filtering urine so that major portions of urine being deposited against an outer surface thereof are prevented from splashing back toward the urine depositor, and a urinal frame mount connected to the frame and positioned to be mounted to an inner back wall of a urinal for readily mounting the frame to the inner back wall of the urinal. The urine anti-splash-back filtering device preferably includes a urine filter material which absorbs urine and is preferably formed of a fibrous material, such as a fabric fibrous material.

The opening extends radially a suitable but not exaggerated distance to provide side wall components of the housing, and the housing is positionable at an oblique angle to a wall to which it can be mounted, and is of such a size that when mounted to the wall a male can straddle the housing and urinate into the opening. A drain is provided in the lower portion of the housing. A supply of water can be provided for discharge inside the housing during urination so as to rinse urine away down the lower drain of the housing, and the water rinsing can be activated by an automatic switch for each urinal user.

Abstract: A water urinal has a urinal body which includes a housing with an opening on its upper portion for receiving a valve used to supply flushing water to the urinal. The valve is attractively concealed within the body of the urinal and eliminates the necessity of embedding a valve in the wall surface on which the urinal is mounted. A cover, which covers and provides access to the valve receiving space within the urinal body, allows maintenance of the urinal without having to remove the urinal from the wall or break an opening in the wall.
