Temperature-controlled urinal module to prevent odors
A urinal module for installation in public toilets or private bathrooms, with the purpose of avoiding or reducing bad odors through the cooling of the contact surface of the urinal, where it impacts with the urine by the use of a cooling closed-circuit by direct expansion that includes a condensing unit and an electronic system of temperature control that are located in an external cabinet, separated from the urinal module. A centrally arranged water reservoir feeds the urinal module, each of which comprises a cooling streamer that leaves the condenser, enters through the back of the urinal closest to the cabinet and makes a journey through the inner back of the urinal to the point of contact with the lower reservoir of the same, resuming to the same point of entry of the urinal, from where it leaves, containing heated gas and returns to the compressor to achieve the closed-loop cooling effect. The temperature control of the urinal manages to form a thin ice protective layer, which will prevent the urine from vaporizing and, therefore, can be perceived by the sense of smell.
URINAL FLUSH ASSEMBLY
A flush assembly for a plumbing fixture, the assembly comprising a sprayer body, wherein the sprayer body comprises a bottom wall, a front wall, and a rear wall, the sprayer body is configured to be in fluid communication with a water source, and the sprayer body bottom wall comprises a first outlet through which flush water is delivered during a flush cycle. The first outlet may comprise a slot shape and/or an arc slot shape. The flush assembly provides a large flush profile.

Systems, methods, and devices relating to a urinal
Systems, methods, and devices relating to urinal, in some examples having a movable portion able to pivot from a generally closed to a generally open position. The urinal may have a drain line engaged with a proximal end of the funnel for conveying urine and rinse water into a sewer line or a toilet bowl and a rinse line coupled with a water supply for rinsing urine therein. The urinal may be movable with the assistance of one or more sensors that may automatically signal other electrical or mechanical components to move one or more portions of the urinal, and may be include elements that seal portions of the urinal when not in use or during cleaning to reduce gas or liquid escaping from the urinal system.

TOILET URINAL
A device is attached to a toilet bowl seat, and has an inlet, an outlet and a body portion. The inlet is shaped as a funnel. The toilet bowl seat includes a central opening and an upper surface that can support a seated user thereon. The body portion is disposed on an underside of the toilet bowl seat, such that the inlet is at the front, and the outlet is disposed over the bowl of the toilet. The inlet faces radially outward from the toilet bowl. The body portion is connected to the inlet funnel, and is formed as a hollow tubular body which is in communication with the outlet. The toilet bowl seat is connected to the toilet bowl via a hinge that allows a user to select the angle of the toilet bowl seat relative to the toilet bowl.

PLUMBING FIXTURE WITH DRAIN-CASTED JET ORIFICE
A plumbing fixture includes a sump and a trapway extending from sump at an inlet of the trapway. A jet orifice is disposed in the trapway at approximately the inlet and defines an angled axis that is oriented upwardly toward an upper wall of the trapway and rearwardly toward an interior of the trapway. The jet orifice is configured to direct fluid from a fluid supply source to the trapway.

FLOOR SHIELD
Disclosed herein is a floor shield which can be located above the floor below a urinal. The floor shield can protect a user's clothing, such as shoes and pants, from being soiled while using a urinal. In some embodiments, the floor shield can have a liquid absorbing mat contained between frame elements. The absorbing mat can easily be removed and replaced when the mat is dirty.
