Drain Coupler with Compressible Seal
20200080672 · 2020-03-12 ·

A drain coupler includes a drain coupler body having a lower opening and an upper opening. A pliable seal is carried by or adjacent the upper opening, the pliable seal operable to form a water-tight seal about an exterior of a metallic throat section of a drain. Coupler engagement structure is carried by the drain coupler adjacent the upper opening of the drain coupler body. Cap engagement structure is carried by a cap. The cap engagement structure and the coupler engagement structure cooperatively enable removable engagement of the cap over the upper opening of the drain coupler body to temporarily cover the upper opening of the drain coupler. The cap is removable to allow insertion of the metallic throat section in the pliable seal.

WATERLESS URINAL AND WATERLESS URINAL CARTRIDGE THEREFOR
20200011044 · 2020-01-09 ·

A waterless urinal cartridge, for waterless urinals, includes a housing and a cover. The housing includes a waste reservoir configured to hold a predetermined volume of wastewater, and a drainage aperture configured so that an amount of wastewater exceeding the predetermined volume of wastewater flows through the drainage aperture to exit the housing. The cover is coupled to the housing and includes a sealing fluid reservoir having walls that define the waste reservoir and the drainage aperture, the walls of the sealing fluid reservoir form a containment perimeter with an open bottom so as to contain a sealing fluid floating on top of the predetermined volume of wastewater, and a plurality of fluid passages direct wastewater from the fluid bowl to the sealing fluid reservoir. The waste reservoir includes a fluid flow control feature that restrains wastewater movement within the waste reservoir in response to a change in vehicle dynamics.
