20220389701 · 2022-12-08 ·

A water-saving device that addresses the problem of saving drinking water when using flush toilets, such as in households and in public facilities. The device has a hollow profile of a guiding part, into which a hollow inner profile with a collection container is inserted. The device is not a part of the toilet but can be easily connected to it and used at any time. The device can be used on both the inside and outside of the toilet, for men, women and children.

Urinal screen formed with fold lines
11519164 · 2022-12-06 ·

A urinal screen has a kite-shaped body having a longitudinal axis about which the body is symmetric, and a crosswise axis at a right angle to the longitudinal axis. There is at least one crosswise fold line formed in the body in which extended openings are formed along the crosswise axis, and there is at least one longitudinal fold line formed parallel to the longitudinal axis by extended openings through the body. The lack of material along the fold lines, relative to other portions of the body, facilitate bending or folding along these lines to conform to the shape of various urinal basins.

Urinary device for males
11590019 · 2023-02-28 ·

A urinary device is attachable to a toilet and assists males in directing a flow of urine into the toilet. The device is installed between a toilet seat and tank and pivots to a vertical or near vertical position against the tank when not in use. A telescoping portion extends for tall or short males. The device may be installed on any standard toilet in a few minutes. A bypass may be included to direct urine into a drain avoiding the toilet bowl and the need to flush the toilet. The urinary device reduces or eliminates germs and odors on or around the toilet and is easy to clean using water and a household cleaner.

Urinal screen having foldable portions
11505935 · 2022-11-22 ·

A urinal screen device includes a body portion having one or more fold lines to allow the urinal screen, or a base portion of the urinal screen that sits in the urinal basin, to bend so as allow maximal coverage of the basin without compromising functionality. The fold lines are created by regions that lack the protrusions formed on body of the urinal screen to break up fluid streams and prevent back splash. The regions lacking protrusion allow the body to bend easier because there are no protrusions being forced against each other along the fold line.

URINAL HAVING A SINK TO MINIMIZE WATER USAGE IN LAVATORIES
20230060090 · 2023-02-23 ·

A urinal having a sink to minimize water usage in lavatories is disclosed. The urinal includes a top end portion and a bottom end portion. A bowl is positioned at the bottom end portion and a rear wall is disposed at rear portion of the bowl to allow water to fall down the rear wall and into the bowl. Additionally, the urinal includes a sink disposed at the top end portion of the urinal. The sink has a sink opening at a sink bottom end portion and above the rear wall where the sink opening provides fluid opening between the sink opening and the rear wall. When the urinal is flushed, water that is dispensed into the sink is used to flush wastewater out of the bottom end portion of the bowl.

Urinal screens

A urinal screen can include a frame having: a first face; a second face opposite the first face; and a plurality of apertures extending through the first and second faces. The urinal screen can include a plurality of first posts extending from the first face of the frame and configured to at least partially dissipate splashing of urine that impacts the urinal screen; and a plurality of second posts extending from the second face of the frame and configured to at least partially dissipate splashing of urine that impacts the urinal screen; wherein: at least ⅓ majority of the plurality of first and second posts are parallel to each other; at least ⅓ of the plurality of second posts are parallel to each other; and the at least ⅓ majority of the plurality of firsts posts extend at a non-perpendicular angle from with respect to the first face of the frame.

TOILET FIXTURE
20220364345 · 2022-11-17 ·

The present invention provides an improvement for toilet fixtures that reduces the amount of wastewater that splashes out of a toilet during its use. This reduction in splashing reduces the odor and unsanitary conditions that frequently occur on and around a toilet. Advantageously, the invention allows a user to temporarily change an existing fixture to function similarly to a urinal and then return the fixture to its function as a toilet for both liquid and solid waste removal.

TOILET, TESTING, AND MONITORING SYSTEMS

Systems for monitoring metabolites may include a sample collection system and a urinalysis system of or for a toilet. The sample collection system may be automated to collect sample urine from a toilet or toilet area, transport the sample to the urinalysis system, and/or the sample urine for analysis at a later time or after analysis by the urinalysis system. The urinalysis system may be automated by proactively providing test material on which a subject may provide a urine sample. Once the urine sample has been provided the urinalysis system may provide the test material to an analyzer for analysis. Results of the analysis of the test material and sample urine may be provided to a mobile device of the subject and/or a remote server. The urinalysis system may provide a urine sample to a mass spectrometry unit for analysis.
