Description

ANTISALPICADURA MINGITORIUM FIELD OF THE INVENTION This invention relates generally to urinals and more particularly to urinals mounted on the wall and / or the floor designed to minimize splash, odor and water consumption. The invention also relates to urinals having custom covers that have a shape and color / design to complement the sanitary.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Men's restrooms typically contain urinals mounted on the wall and / or the floor. These urinals provide convenient access for regular clients to urinate. Additionally, these urinals save space and reduce the amount of water under other circumstances used by bathrooms. A common problem with conventional urinals is the phenomenon known as splash. Splashing occurs when the urine drops are returned to the user due to the force of the user's urine stream that hits a urinal's surface. See Figure 5a. This can cause annoying stains on the user's clothing as well as a health hazard. The force of the discharge can also cause it to occur splash Another common problem with conventional urinals is that they often emit a bad odor. When the urine stream makes contact with a surface of the urinal, part of the droplets of urine vaporizes. Minimizing splash will greatly reduce the amount of odor generated by the urinal and reduce health risks. Also, conventional urinals typically consume 1,500 liters (one gallon) or more of water per flush. While low water consumption urinals and water-free urinals have been proposed and have enjoyed limited success, they still suffer from splashing, and often emit a foul odor. Several inventions have been directed to correct these problems. Innovations designated to the splash problem include a conical-shaped urinal, a v-shaped urinal with a compensation apex, and a urinal with splash guards. See, for example, U.S. Patent No. 5,027,448; U.S. Patent No. 5,287,563; U.S. Patent No. 5,806,107; US Patent No. 6,470,504. The disadvantage of these designs is that while the urine stream is diverted in a different direction, the amount of urine that is still vaporized is a problem of odors and Health. Still other inventions have been directly aimed at treating the odor problem. These solutions include urinals with ventilation systems and urinals with drain traps. See, for example, U.S. Patent No. 704,471; U.S. Patent No. 2,646,574; U.S. Patent No. 5,305,473; US Patent No. 6,088,845.

COMPENDIUM OF THE INVENTION The present invention satisfies the need for a urinal with characteristics that reduce splashing, vaporization and other phenomena that cause hygiene and odor problems. The present invention provides an antisplash urinal comprising a cup for receiving a user's urine, the cup having a surface with a curvilinear shape designed to reduce the angle of impact between the urine and the surface and to carry urine down and away of the user; an opening through which the user deposits the urine in the cup, the opening is off center with respect to the cup; and a drain having an alignment that is displaced from the opening. The urinal can also include a custom cover that has a shape and color / design to complement the sanitary. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the urinal is equipped with a low flow discharge system that serves to reduce the amount of water and urine that vaporizes while simultaneously reducing the amount of water used by discharge. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the low flow discharge system has a frame formed of sanitary pipe that is folded in a shape that follows the shape of the cup, to a certain degree. Nozzles disperse water or other liquid in the form of drizzle, spray, stream or other manifestation of fluid on the surface of the cup. The frame can be manufactured as part of the urinal or the cup or it can be formed separately. The armor can also be adapted to fit conventional urinals. In a particular embodiment, the urinal further comprises an air filter connected to the air exhaust system. Air from the inside and without the urinal enters the exhaust system through the air filter. The air exhaust system is connected to a fan which can be activated manually, by motion sensors, or it can be continuously lit. Preferably, the air filter is a water purifying filter, designed to remove moisture from the air as it enters the exhaust system.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention provides a urinal mounted on the wall or floor designed to minimize or eliminate splash, while maximizing containment and disposal of substantially all of the liquid, vapors and gases that enter the urinal and / or are created inside the urinal. And, unlike conventional urinals, the urinal of the present invention can be customized in terms of exterior aesthetic form, which includes, but is not limited to form, color, texture and designs. Referring first to Figure 1, Figure 2, Figure 3, and Figure 4, the antisplash urinal 10 according to the present invention comprises a cup 12, having an opening 18 for receiving urine. The cup 12 includes an interior surface 24 having a curvilinear shape designed to reduce the impact angle of the user's urine flow, ie from the perpendicular, so that when the urine is run against the interior surface 24, the urine is directed in and down, away from the opening 18. Reducing the impact angle reduces both splash and vaporization. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the interior surface 24 has an outline in the form of a roulette or heart-shaped or cardioid shape. Preferably, the opening 18 is located towards one side of the cup 12 so that the inner surface 24 of the cup 12, which includes a drain 22 in a lower portion of the cup 12, does not align with the opening 18. With In this configuration, the urine stream will be directed downward and away from the opening 18 and will therefore prevent splashing and vaporization. See Figure 5b. In addition, the shape of the cup 12 and limited access to the surface 24 interior by the use of the opening 18 provides the ability to retain unpleasant odors and vapors and unhealthy gases within the interior portion of the cup 12, defined by the shape of the interior surface 24, i.e., similar in function to a containment hood commonly found in chemical laboratories, and the like. The urinal 10 can be formed of any type of material that is fluid-proof such as liquids and gases, the material includes but is not limited to ceramics, plastic, glass and / or metal. The outer surface of the cup 12 may be of any shape, while the inner surface may have a curvilinear shape as described above and may be independent of the shape of the outer surface. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the urinal 10 is provided with a non-functional outer cover 20 which may have a variety of shapes and / or colors / designs to complement the sanitary. Figure 3 shows a sectional view of the urinal in Figure 1, taken along line 3-3. As can be seen from Figure 3 and Figure 5b, the shape of the interior surface 24 of the bowl directs the urine stream and prevents splashing and reduces vaporization and atomization associated with the urinate and discharge. When the urine contacts the interior surface 24, the urine is diverted or directed in a direction away from the opening 18 and towards the drain 22. Additionally, the shape allows the urine to better adapt to the interior surface 24 and continues the surface towards the drain 22 instead of diverting away from the interior surface 24 again towards a user. This reduction in deviation and the direction of the urine away from the opening 18 provide the splash resistance. In addition, the shape of the inner surface 24 provides a more laminar flow in place of a turbulent flow, thereby further reducing the vaporization and atomization associated with urination and discharge. The shape of the inner surface 24 may be of a variety of curvilinear shapes, but is preferably of a cardioid form, in both horizontal and vertical cross sections. In addition, while particular advantages result from locating the decentered drain 22 of the opening 18, the drain can be located anywhere within the cup 12 as long as the drain 22 functions to drain liquids into the urinal 10. In addition, while the opening 18 reception is generally illustrated as in a rectilinear shape with curved corners, and the shape and size of the opening are not limited to that shown, but may be of any size and shape to allow effectively access to cup 12 to deposit urine while minimizing splash, bad odors and vapors and unhealthy gases. Figure 2 represents an exploded perspective view of an anti-spatter urinal 10 according to another embodiment of the present invention. The urinal 10 comprises a cup 12, a lid 14, a filter 16 and an assembly 26. The urinal 10 also has an opening 28 configured to receive and retain the filter 16. The urinal 10 may also comprise an opening 30 through the which air can travel freely. The openings 28 and 30 may further be used to receive tubing for water discharge purposes and allow tap water to enter the cup 12 during discharge. The assembly 26 provides a substantially planar surface, where the assembly 26 allows the urinal 10 to be mounted substantially flush with a wall. While the assembly 26 can be used to mount the urinal 10 on a wall, the assembly 26 can be extended to mount the urinal 10 on the floor. The assembly 26 also provides access to a rear portion of the urinal 10. The filter 16 provides for the filtration of moisture from the air that can be evacuated through the openings 28 and 30. By way of example, during the evacuation, air may arise at through the opening 28 and flowing through the opening . The cover 14 can prevent air from escaping from the urinal 10 and furthermore, it can direct the air flow from the opening 28 to the opening 30. As the air travels through the opening 28 and the filter 16, the filter 16 extracts the air. air humidity and returns it to the interior surface 24 of the cup 12. Referring again to Figure 3, the cover 20 can also have an empty space 32 which provides additional spaces that can be used to accommodate airflow and ventilation for the cup 12. Alternatively, cover 20 can be a solid piece that can be used primarily for aesthetic purposes. In addition, the cover 20 is not limited to strict use with an antisplash urinal 10 of the present invention, but can be adapted for use in a conventional urinal that is mounted on a wall and / or floor. In such a case, the cover 20 can also provide a splash reduction, by covering, in part, the conventional urinal opening to limit the possibility of splashing. The cover 20 can be formed of materials that can be colored, painted (0.473 liters) two and / or incorporate fabrics, tapestry and / or any other material during manufacture to provide a cover that coordinates or contrasts with the colors and decorates the sanitary in which the cover will be used. By For example, a fabric or tapestry that complements the interior of the toilet can be laminated on the cover and protected by a transparent coating. With particular reference to Figure 4, in a preferred embodiment of the invention, an exhaust system is coupled to the urinal 10, so that the urinal can be ventilated through the posterior portion of the urinal and pulled out through the urinal. conduit located in the wall on which the urinal 10 is mounted. In such mode, the air can be extracted from a ventilator located in the attic, roof and / or walls of the toilet or outside the building, such as on the roof. The fan can also be located inside the urinal 10, where the fan draws the air out of the cup 12 and blows the air out of the toilet. The fan can be a conventional exhaust fan currently used in sanitary applications. As the fan operates, air is drawn through the reception opening 18 in the cup 12. The air follows the flow 44 of air flow through the interior surface 24 of the bowl 12, the filter 16, the opening 28 and the opening 30 and is exited through an opening in the assembly 26 through the conduit 42 located in a wall 40. This allows the evacuation of air that can carry bad odors, vapors and unhealthy gases that are consistent with urine. Particular embodiments of the invention can evacuate air in a volumetric ratio of, but not limited to, for example, 1.41 cubic meters (50 cubic feet) per minute. This evacuation substantially eliminates any odor that can be emitted from the urinal 10. It will be understood that the evacuation rate can be any volumetric proportion that substantially removes odors, vapors and gases within the cup 12 as well as the air surrounding the urinal. Alternatively, the air can be extracted from the cup by convection. The filter 16 can be used in the particular embodiments of the present invention that utilize an exhaust system. The filter 16 serves to stop the moisture that may be in the extracted air through the air stream 24 and return the moisture to the cup 12. The filter 16 may be formed, for example, with layers of rigid material containing off-center holes. This offset of holes creates non-straight lines of travel for air through the filter 16, thereby improving the filtering capacity of the filter 16. The steam is filtered from the air and returned to the cup 12. This helps to reduce the amount moisture that can otherwise enter the duct system, and also eliminates the condensation that can form in the parts of the urinal 10 located in the posterior portion that is only accessible through the opening 30 once the urinal 10 is mounted. This includes urine condensation that may otherwise create sanitation problems in the posterior portion of the urinal 10. The filter 16 serves to avoid sanitation problems and substantially prevents the formation of condensation in the posterior portion of the urinal 10. The exhaust fan can operate continuously or intermittently, for example, activated by a motion sensor that detects when a user approaches to the urinal. The exhaust fan can also be wired to operate when the urinal is unloaded. Another feature and advantage of the present invention that results from the single cup design is the ability to operate with extremely low water consumption, i.e., a low flow discharge system. The system of low discharge of flow can use running water in liquid form or in the form of drizzle. The discharge system can be coupled to the urinal through an opening in the assembly 26, where the openings 28 and 30 are used to facilitate the discharge system and / or through the drain 22, and where a portion of the drain 22 will be dedicated to allow the flow of water in the cup 12 to discharge purposes. The discharge system will use water spray and liquid to clean the interior surface 24 of the bowl 12 and to expel water and urine into the bowl through the drain. The low discharge discharge system also provides less vaporization of the urine contained within the cup 12. Vaporization is common during the discharge of conventional urinals, where a quantity of maintained urine will also vaporize. In addition, the discharge of conventional urinals can also result in splashing a water / urine mixture on a user and / or within the surrounding area including the floor. These limitations of typical mingitor discharge systems are avoided with the low flow discharge system of particular embodiments of the present invention. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, a drizzle discharge system consisting of sanitary pipe is used (in a specific case copper pipe of 9.54 mm (3/8") of outside diameter with an inside diameter of 6.36 mm (1 / 4")) that has been bent into a crescent shape with a height of approximately 17.78 cm (7") from the drain to the tip of the drizzle armor and a radius of curvature that allows the crescent to follow along the inside wall of the cup.Drill formation frameworks have been tested in a variety of configurations, including a vertical crescent shape 800 (see Figure 6A and Figure 6B) and a circular halo 900 (see Figure 7) of various diameters from 7.62 to 3.48 centimeters (3 to 12 inches). Tested armors have included from 1 to 12 heads of drizzle formation. The systems of formation of drizzle can be integrated in the body of the urinal or totally separated from the urinal. A drier that separates from a urinal may extend from within a drainage area, or from the top, side, or adjacent portion of the front opening of the urinal. The drizzle formation system can also pierce the inner cup to release the drizzle from within or towards the cup. However, alternative locations may also be appropriate including, but not limited to, a top opening, a front opening, or perforation of an interior wall of the bowl at virtually any point. In addition, a drizzle formation system can be formed completely with the walls of the cup and fed by a manifold or other water supply external to the cup. The water is ejected as a drizzle, aspersion and / or other liquid or vapor forms through the spray nozzles and / or sprinkler heads that control the direction, speed, proportion of flow and type of water (droplets, drizzle, current, spray, mist, steam, etc.), in the cup. Other particular modalities of drizzle formation systems include drizzle channels that enclose the front and / or top openings and direct the drizzle toward the cup and away from it to prevent them from leaving the front opening. The droplet size of the water can be varied with the water pressure and the modified / specialized drizzle nozzles. The smaller the size of the water droplets, the greater the surface area that can be covered by the particular volume of water. Therefore, higher pressures of discharge water and specialized drizzle heads will result in the use of smaller volumes of water. While the drizzle formation system is in the interior form (ie, creates drizzle) of the cup and the orientation of the drizzle nozzles results in nothing coming out of the drizzle formation of the cup, regardless of whether 1) a ventilation system is coupled with the urinal and activated or not coupled with the urinal or not activated. In the realization of the test, 37 minutes of discharge of drizzle resulted in the consumption of two quarters of discharge water. The training armor drizzle that was tested was crescent shaped and drizzled through 4 drizzling nozzles simultaneously. An objective length of the discharge is for 3 minutes, which can consume less than one-tenth of the water consumed in the aforementioned test. Therefore, the water consumption can be less than one pint (0.473 liters) per discharge. Various drizzle nozzles are commercially available and can be used advantageously in the present invention, including, but not limited to: 1) Bronze Drizzle Formation Nozzles, Mist & Cool, L.L.C., Simi Valley, CA 93065; "For pressures up to 250 PSI"; MCI03C: 1/2 to 1 Gallon per Hour per head of drizzle formation, thread of 10-24 UNC; or 2) Raindrip, Tornado Fogger / Mister; 7 Gallons per Hour per head of drizzle formation; # 162005; all plastic nozzles. Mist bronze drizzle nozzle formation nozzles Coll L.L.C., result in much smaller droplets of drizzle; thus reducing the amount of water that is necessary to completely coat the inside of the cup. Decreasing the size of the droplets results in a greater total surface area of the water and therefore a lower total volume of water that is needed to cover the same square area of the cup surface from the urinal. Thus, with higher water pressures even finer drizzle nozzles will result in smaller volumes of water returned in the form of a drizzle that will be sufficient to cover / coat / clean the same square area of the urinal surface. The systems of formation of drizzle can be used as the only means to discharge urinals or together with liquid discharge systems that use any other type of liquid, which include: vapor, mist, spray, current, spray, etc. Water pressure booster systems, and air compressors used in conjunction with pumping systems, can be used to further increase the water pressure to result in finer drizzles (smaller water droplets) that are used in drizzle systems for further reduce the water consumption of a urinal. Another embodiment of the invention involves the use of a water scrubber with an air filter. The water scrubber according to the present invention filters and / or purifies the fluids including, but not limited to water, liquid, drizzle, steam, mist, moisture and the like of the air being evacuated from the urinal cup and / or the air that surrounds the urinal.

The urinal water scrubber can be placed anywhere along the air path that is being evacuated from inside the bowl. In one embodiment, the scrubber is adjusted to fill the entire upper orifice of the bowl (see Figure 8A and Figure 8B), so that the air can not be deflected, and all air must travel through it, as the air becomes airborne. extracted, through the ventilation system, out of the cup and into the ducts inside the wall on which the urinal is mounted, or alternatively, the external ducts to the urinal (see Figure 8C and Figure 8D), through the which the air is evacuated from the urinal or from any place in the toilet. Without being bound by theory, it is believed that the water scrubber acts as the principle of momentum conservation. As such, liquids of any kind (drizzle, steam, sprayed liquid, mist, moisture, water droplets and current) that can be trapped in the air stream that passes through the water scrubber have a greater momentum than the air itself. , due significantly to its greater mass than air. Since the air passing through the scrubber is forced to change direction abruptly due to the shape of the trajectories through the scrubber, trapped liquid of any kind can not change direction so fast 1 like the air; and therefore, the liquid (of any kind) collides on and adheres to the solid surfaces of the scrubber and consequently leaves the air stream that has come with it. After the liquid hits the surface of the scrubber, the air is therefore less humid (carries less liquid) and travels through the air ventilation system. The liquid that hits the surfaces of the scrubber condenses and gathers in a growing amount (droplets) on the surfaces of the scrubber, as more and more liquid collides on the same surfaces. The resulting and continuous shock and the collection of liquid of any kind (including but not limited to steam, drizzle, water droplets, stream, atomization of urine, etc.), in the scrubber continues until: 1) the droplets grow so great that gravity pulls them out of their bonded surface and returns them to and within the cup; or 2) the droplets do not continue to grow, but in fact they evaporate slowly again in the air stream that travels past them, when the air within that stream becomes less humid and essentially dries the surfaces of the scrubber. The humidity of the air stream can be substantially reduced when the drizzle system is operating and most of the running water that the cup is supposed to clean, it really does when it drips back into the cup and into the drain. Any of a wide variety of water purifiers for urinals can be represented by this invention. As illustrated by Figure 9, this variety of water scrubbers may include, but is not limited to, parallel surface plates with parallel slats 1101, offset orifices of circular shapes and others, extruded spirals 1102 and layers that look like stacked sets of blades 1103 of fan. Water scrubbers generally direct air to change speed (by increasing or decreasing the cross-sectional area of the air travel path) and / or change direction of air flow abruptly so that there is no straight path so that the air travels, but rather a zigzag path, so that trapped liquids enter the surfaces in which they collide and stick. Figure 9 illustrates a very rigid 2-D material that can be cut so as to provide the changes in direction and velocity in flow within the water scrubbers. During use, the drizzle discharge discharge water covers the entire interior surface of the cup evenly. The interior shape of the cup and the orientation of the drizzle nozzles, as well as the Orientation and direction of the air that is sucked into the upper hole of the urinal through the ventilation system can create an air vortex inside the cup that facilitates uniform coverage of the drizzle through the urinal cup as well as complete containment of the drizzle inside the cup. The inner shape of the cup also promotes a vortex for gases and liquids to flow into it. This vortex effect has multiple utilities, including but not limited to: 1) reduction of turbulence and increased laminar flow of urine (or other liquid streams) entering the cup from the front opening (such reduction of turbulence reduces the splash and reduce vaporization, atomization and evaporation that otherwise lead to odors, 2) reduction of turbulence and increased laminar flow of discharge water passing over the walls of the cup; 3) uniform distribution of the drizzle from the discharge system through the inside walls of the bowl; 4) air vortices are created along the front opening so that the drizzle is prevented from leaving the urinal bowl; and 5) the vortex also serves to throw the droplets of drizzle against the sides of the cup before they are sucked through the drizzle scrubber into the upper opening of the cup. 4 The interior shape of the bowl, the orientation of the drizzle nozzles and the air flow that is extracted in the front opening and eventually out of the upper opening of the bowl (through the water purifier) all work through cooperation to create a vortex that reduces odor, splash and water consumption. Whirlpools can occur around the front opening that result in at least two benefits: 1) they extract the drizzle that is taking place inside the cup, along the inside walls of the cup, even opposite to the main flow trip of air in the cup through the front opening, thus covering, completely, completely and uniformly the walls of the urinal completely up to the front opening, and 2) keeping the drizzle subdued and contained inside the cup, without letting Exhaust the cup through the front opening. Even without an operable ventilation system coupled to a urinal, the drizzle itself reduces, subdues, traps and removes odors from the air. Therefore, even without a ventilation system either present or functioning, the urinal drizzle formation system will substantially reduce and / or eliminate odors within the urinal bowl that may otherwise escape into and contaminate the surrounding sanitary and the facilities annexes. The ventilation system also extracts the air in the bowl from the outside of the urinal and thus can also reduce odors in the toilet. Several changes can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. For example, the non-functional cover 20 can be formed as a separate dimensional element and shaped to fit in a conventional urinal. The cover may comprise a non-functional liner, sleeve or other rigid or flexible material which may include flexible panels, coated with adhesive or fabrics for mounting directly into an existing urinal, or as shown in Figure 10A, Figure 10B, and Figure 10C, and Figure HA, Figure 11B and Figure 11C, the cover can be formed of rigid or shaped panels, or a molded construction. In this way, one can update the appearance of the urinal installed, for example, in a remodeling. Also the air filter / water scrubber can be incorporated in a conventional sanitary air exhaust system. The embodiments and examples set forth herein are presented in order to better explain the present invention and its practical application and to thereby allow those of ordinary skill in the art to make and use the invention. Nevertheless, those of ordinary skill in the art will recognize that the foregoing description and examples have been presented for purposes of illustration and examples only. The description as set forth is not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the invention to the precise form described. Many modifications and variations are possible in view of the above teachings without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
