Abstract:

A urinal including a pair of substantially vertical sidewalls having front edges lying in a plane defining an entrance opening of the urinal, and rear edges defining a substantially vertical slot, the pair of sidewalls converging inwardly so as to form a trough for guiding the flow of urine entering the entrance opening in a path transverse to the plane and toward the slot; internal walls defining a vertically oriented channel communicating with the trough via the slot, the internal walls having front edges terminating at the slot and the channel converging to a vertically oriented extremity displaced from the slot in a direction parallel to the plane and a bottom wall joined to bottom edges of the sidewalls and the internal walls and defining a drain opening. The trough and channel guide deposited urine to the shielded extremity of the channel so as to prevent splashback.
