Abstract

The splash prevention urinal apparatus is designed whereby urine impacts the contact wall at a 60 degree angle, thereby directing flow and any potential splash to the stop wall, the rounded corner, and the splash wall. The angle prevents urine splash back toward the front of the apparatus. By negating urine splash, the apparatus encourages a user to stand closely and thereby prevents urine spill on the floor of a facility. The abbreviated size potential of the apparatus, along with the hollow formed between the top, bottom, back wall, side wall, front wall, and contact wall reduces material costs.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A wall mounted splash prevention urinal apparatus, comprising;
 a top;   a flush mechanism mounted on the top;   a back wall for mounting to a structure, the back wall intersecting the top;   a side wall intersecting the back wall at a 90 degree angle, the side wall intersecting the top;   an abbreviated front wall, the front wall parallel to the back wall, the front wall intersecting the top;   a contact wall, the contact wall at an approximate 60 degree angle to the front wall, the contact wall having a length, the contact wall intersecting the top, a hollow formed between the back wall, the side wall, the front wall, and the contact wall;   a stop wall intersecting a rear of the contact wall, the stop wall parallel with the front wall, the stop wall intersecting the top;   a splash wall intersecting the stop wall, the splash wall perpendicular to the front wall, the splash wall parallel to the side wall, the splash wall having a length about ½ that of the contact wall, the splash wall intersecting the top;   a well in a bottom of the apparatus, the well having a slant to a drain in a bottom of the well, the well having three sides formed by the contact wall, the stop wall, and the splash wall;   a riser forming a final two sides of the well.   
     
     
         2 . The apparatus according to  claim 1  wherein the top further comprises a flat surface. 
     
     
         3 . The apparatus according to  claim 1  further comprising a rounded corner, the rounded corner disposed between the stop wall and the splash wall, the rounded corner intersecting the top. 
     
     
         4 . The apparatus according to  claim 2  further comprising a rounded corner, the rounded corner disposed between the stop wall and the splash wall, the rounded corner intersecting the top. 
     
     
         5 . The apparatus according to  claim 1  wherein the riser further comprises a minimum depth of 4 inches. 
     
     
         6 . The apparatus according to  claim 2  wherein the riser further comprises a minimum depth of 4 inches. 
     
     
         7 . The apparatus according to  claim 3  wherein the riser further comprises a minimum depth of 4 inches. 
     
     
         8 . The apparatus according to  claim 4  wherein the riser further comprises a minimum depth of 4 inches. 
     
     
         9 . A wall mounted splash prevention urinal apparatus, comprising;
 a top;   a flush mechanism mounted on the top;   a back wall for mounting to a structure, the back wall intersecting the top;   a side wall intersecting the back wall at a 90 degree angle, the side wall intersecting the top;   an abbreviated front wall, the front wall parallel to the back wall, the front wall intersecting the top;   a contact wall, the contact wall at an approximate 60 degree angle to the front wall, the contact wall having a length, the contact wall intersecting the top, a hollow formed between the back wall, the side wall, the front wall, and the contact wall;   a stop wall intersecting a rear of the contact wall, the stop wall parallel with the front wall, the stop wall intersecting the top;   a splash wall intersecting the stop wall, the splash wall perpendicular to the front wall, the splash wall parallel to the side wall, the splash wall having a length about ½ that of the contact wall, the splash wall intersecting the top;   a well in a bottom of the apparatus, the well having a slant to a drain in a bottom of the well, the well having three sides formed by the contact wall, the stop wall, and the splash wall;   a riser forming a final two sides of the well, a top of the riser further comprising a slant toward the well.   
     
     
         10 . The apparatus according to  claim 9  wherein the top further comprises a flat surface. 
     
     
         11 . The apparatus according to  claim 9  further comprising a rounded corner, the rounded corner disposed between the stop wall and the splash wall, the rounded corner intersecting the top. 
     
     
         12 . The apparatus according to  claim 10  further comprising a rounded corner, the rounded corner disposed between the stop wall and the splash wall, the rounded corner intersecting the top. 
     
     
         13 . The apparatus according to  claim 9  wherein the riser further comprises a minimum depth of 4 inches. 
     
     
         14 . The apparatus according to  claim 10  wherein the riser further comprises a minimum depth of 4 inches. 
     
     
         15 . The apparatus according to  claim 11  wherein the riser further comprises a minimum depth of 4 inches. 
     
     
         16 . The apparatus according to  claim 12  wherein the riser further comprises a minimum depth of 4 inches. 
     
     
         17 . A wall mounted splash prevention urinal apparatus, comprising;
