Abstract
Splash-prevention mat with sealed filaments and conical differences in level for urinals, which is composed of small filaments that prevent splashes of urine, thereby preventing the spread of diseases and, also, the accumulation of fluids by virtue of the conical differences in level. This mat was produced in order to prevent the bad odour that arises through an accumulation of urine outside urinals, resulting from urine splashing against the walls of urinals and/or against residual liquids in urinals, by interrupting the fall of the liquid. In this way, the invention provides a more hygienic environment and prevents the spread of possible diseases.
Description
URINAL MAT
OBJECT OF THE INVENTION
This invention refers to a sealed filament anti-splash urinal mat consisting of small strands that prevent liquid splashing thus eradicating the spread of diseases. This mat also has different conic levels to prevent the accumulation of liquids in the mat’s base. This mat was manufactured in order to prevent bad odors from urine accumulated outside urinals when it splashes and contacts urinals’ walls and/or waste liquids inside them, trapping liquid falling down and not letting liquid accumulate on the mat’s base as it happens with other products, because it has different conic levels that lead liquids to the drainage and keep the mat free of waste liquid and bad odors. Likewise, it offers a more hygienic environment by preventing the spread of possible diseases to the users via crosse contamination at the time they are splashed with urinal waste liquids.
INVENTION’S BACKGROUND
There are urinal mats in the market made from brush like filaments whose function is to stop urine that could splash sidewise but they are worn out quickly and their filaments fold thereby decreasing their performance while letting urine accumulate and stop doing what they were made for.
With the mats available in the market nowadays, one has the inconvenience of having to replace them constantly because they are worn out or because they are smelly due to liquid and bacteria accumulation, therefore in order to avoid all those problems, it was decided to create a longer lasting mat that would prevent restroom bad odors and the spread of bacteria. The mats that we developed do not need to be replaced as frequently as other current mats that do not have sealed filaments; because it is precisely at the base of non-sealed strands that most of bacteria accumulate. Our mats have a sealed-filament system that prevents the accumulation or stagnation of bacteria and are made with different conic levels at the mat’s base to avoid stacked bacteria in liquids and resin corrosion since mats are made from resin to stand the accumulation of liquids.
This mat was created thinking in preventing liquid splashes in urinals and its surroundings as well as in mat durability by having draining urine quickly and effectively through its different conic levels. This mat is manufactured from a strong plastic material resistant to the corrosion produced by liquid accumulation due to its different elevations that facilitates liquid drainage.
As a supplementary description and with the intention to provide a better understanding of the invention, attached hereto and forming integral part of the description, are sketches that in an illustrative and not limiting manner represent the following:
Figure 1.- shows a front top elevation view of an anti-splash mat with sealed filaments that prevent liquid splashes and the base orifices through which fluids run to the drainage due to its different conic elevations that guide liquids to the mat’s orifices. It also releases aroma and antibacterial substance.
Figure 2.- shows a front elevation view of the mat’s base where one can see the orifices through which urine flows to the drainage and minute studs/legs located and distributed in such a way that the mat is elevated eluding the liquid accumulation.
Figure 3.- shows a side view of the mat where one can see the sealed filaments that interrupt liquid drops, and it also depicts the mat’s base and studs/legs that elevate the mat to avert liquid accumulation.
Figure 4.- shows a side cut perspective view that shows the different conic levels that guide liquid flow to the mat’s base orifices thus preventing liquid accumulation and bad odors.
Figure 5.- shows a zoom in cut side view of the different conic levels that lead liquids to the orifices located at the mat’s base.
PREFERENTIAL EXECUTION OF THE INVENTION
The characteristic details of this mat are clearly shown in the following description and in the drawings attached hereto. It is also annexed a descriptive illustration that follows the same reference signs to indicate the parts and figures shown.
At first sight, one can perceive on the figures how is the (1) urinal anti splash mat structured with sealed-filaments (1) to prevent urine splashes by cutting off its drop and bad odors caused by urine accumulation, because it also has different conic levels (5) that guide liquids to the orifices (3) located at the mat’s base.
Orifices (3) are distributed in such a way that they go directly to the urinal’s drain. They are distributed throughout the anti-splash mat’s base, have sealed filaments and different conic levels (5) in each one of the orifices (3) to prevent possible accumulation of liquids at the mat’s base (2).
The sealed filament (1) anti-splash mat’s base (2) has different conic levels (5) distributed along the base (2) to lead liquids to the orifices (3) through which urine flows to the drain once the filaments had done their job of trapping the urine when falling preventing the splashes outside the urinal.
Underneath the mat’s base (2) there are some studs/short legs (4) whose function is to let flow the liquids beneath the mat.
Claims (2)
- REINVINDICATIONS Having described my invention, I hereby consider it as a novelty and claim the ownership of what is contained in the following clause:
- 1.- The urinal mat with sealed filaments and different conic levels is manufactured with plastic resistant to corrosion caused by liquid accumulation. This mat also has a sealed filament system that traps urine when falling down, prevents its accumulation or bacteria cultures due to its different conic elevations that guide fluids to the orifices located at the mat’s base that go to drainage exit.
