When positioned on a surface of a urinal or other fixture, the screen is substantially conformable to the urinal surface without sacrificing the screen objective to keep debris from entering drain. In embodiments, the center portion of the screen can be adjustable in height such that the screen is in a mound- or dome-like configuration and still preventing any debris from entering the drain.
Description
- This disclosure relates to a screen adjustable in height and/or shape for use in a urinal and assemblies that incorporate the screen.
- Water conservation is a major concern in many areas and is likely to become even more important in the future as populations increase resulting in more water consumption. The largest daily user of water in commercial establishments is the urinal, while other restroom fixtures contribute to the overall high water consumption of commercial establishments.
- In order to reduce water consumption, low water and no-water fixtures, such as urinals, have been devised. These no-water and low water fixtures are not flushed each time a person uses the fixture and, in fact, are oftentimes not equipped for flushing as they are not connected to a water supply. As a no-water urinal is repeatedly used, most urine is collected in a compartment of the urinal. Oil sealing liquids, such as organic oils lighter than and immiscible with urine, float on the surface of the collected urine and act as a barrier to prevent odors from escaping. Screens are used to block the collected urine, and any urine or liquid remaining in the urinal, from sight.
- Typical screens used in urinals are generally flat sheets completely encircling or covering the drain. The bottom of the screen typically forms a seal with the bottom surface of the urinal. Any liquid (i.e., water, urine) must therefore pass through the perforations of the screen to go down the drain. When there is resting water and urine in the urinal, the perforations, however, have a tendency to get clogged with debris and garbage, restricting liquid flow and resulting in visible standing liquid in the urinal. The standing liquid is unpleasant to view and often emits a foul odor.
- It is desirable to provide a urinal screen which is adjustable in height and/or shape to cover or conceal unsightly resting water and urine while also protecting drains from debris and garbage whether in a flat or raised position. It is further desirable to provide a urinal screen which may be used over existing screens (typically those that are affixed to drains with screws) to conceal the existing screen while also protecting drains from debris and deodorizing.
- The present disclosure provides a urinal screen for protecting drains from debris and garbage that can clog pipes, which can optionally be used with additional cleaner/deodorizer blocks, and can be modified in shape to conceal and avoid interference with already installed screens, resting water/urine and/or other drain components. The screen assembly can be used to cover up unsightly urine/water so that it is not viewed by the user. The assembly provides for integration of a screen with cleaning materials (e.g., enzymes, bacteria) in a solid block, gel or liquid form, with or without fragrance additives. The flexibility of the screen allows the assembly to confirm to any urinal shape or other variable surface on which the assembly would be installed to provide a trap screen and ensure that little or no debris enters the drain. The conforming properties of the flexible screen design ensure that the screen lies flat on the contact surface to prevent splashing of urine.
- In an embodiment, the disclosure provides a urinal screen, comprising a flexible screen in a circular configuration comprising a center portion and a contiguous outer portion encircling the center portion, the outer portion being separated into one or more elongate strips extending outwardly from the center portion, and the center portion having a center hole extending therethrough, wherein when positioned on a surface of a urinal, the screen is substantially conformable to the urinal surface. In embodiments, the center portion of the screen can be elevated such that the screen is in a mound- or dome-like configuration.
- In embodiments of the screen, the outer portion can be structured as a plurality of elongated strips extending radially outward from and in a perpendicular orientation to the center portion, as one or more elongated strips in a spiral configuration, or as a plurality of strips in a zigzag configuration extending outwardly from the center portion, among other configurations. In an embodiment, the outer portion is composed of zigzagged strips with a plurality of bent arm portions connected together at an angle.
- In embodiments, the screen can be connected to a module for containing a material (e.g., block, gel or liquid) containing a cleaning agent, fragrance or a combination thereof.
- In some embodiments, the urinal screen, with or without a module containing a cleaning/fragrance material, can be combined with an arched support stand, such that the screen is situated over the support stand in a domed configuration.
- In an embodiment, a urinal screen assembly according to the disclosure comprises a flexible screen in a circular configuration comprising a center portion and a contiguous outer portion encircling the center portion, the outer portion being separated into one or more elongated strips extending outwardly from the center portion, and the center portion having a center hole extending therethrough; and at least one of a) a fastening element sized for insertion through the center hole of the screen, b) an arched support stand sized for placement of the screen thereover in a domed configuration, and c) a module for containing a cleaner or fragrance block, configured for attachment to the flexible screen. In embodiments, the outer portion of the screen comprises a plurality of elongated strips extending radially outwardly from the center portion.

outer portion 16 is configured as one or moreelongated strips 18 extending outwardly from thecenter portion 14. Thestrips 18 are adjacently positioned withnarrow slits 20 therebetween. This configuration of theouter portion 16 as one ormore strips 18 allows thescreen 12, when positioned over the drain of a urinal, to substantially adapt and conform to the contours of the urinal surface and prevent passage of debris into the drain. - For example, as illustrated in
FIG. 1 , theouter portion 16 of theurinal screen 12 can be constructed as a plurality ofelongate strips 18 that extend radially outward from and in a perpendicular orientation to thecenter portion 14. Other exemplary embodiments are illustrated inFIGS. 3 and 4 . Optionally, as shown inFIG. 1 , for example, thesurface 22 of one or more of theelongated strips 18 can includemultiple protrusions 24 which function to collect debris in use of the urinal screen. - The
screen 10 can be manufactured from a variety of flexible materials, for example, a polymeric-based material, silicone, thermoplastic elastomers, thermoplastic olefinic elastomers, and other materials known in the art by compression molding, injection molding or other process known and used in the art. In some embodiments, that material from which screen 10 is made may contain or include a fragrance, antibacterial/antimicrobial agent or other treatment. - In embodiments, the

In yet another embodiment, as depicted inFIG. 4 , theouter portion 16″ of theurinal screen 12″ can constitute a plurality ofstrips 18″ in a zigzag or bent configuration that extend outwardly from thecenter portion 14″. In embodiments, the zigzagged strips 18″ comprise a plurality of bent arm portions connected together at an angle. - Referring to
FIGS. 5-8 , in use, thescreen 10 is adaptable to conform to the contours of thesurface 34 of aurinal 36 or other substrate.FIGS. 5 , 6 and 8 illustratescreen 10 in use with a floor mountedurinal 36, whileFIG. 7 illustratesscreen 10 in use with a wall mountedurinal 36. As depicted inFIGS. 1 and 2 , thescreen 12 can have a substantially flat or planar configuration when positioned on a flat surface but will substantially conform to the contours of the substrate surface, as shown inFIGS. 5-6 . - As depicted in
FIGS. 5-6 , thescreen assembly 10 composed of thescreen 12 with the attachedmodule 26 containing fragrance/cleaner can be used to screen theurinal drain 36 a and to freshen the surrounding air. In other embodiments, as shown inFIG. 8 , thescreen 12 can be used alone over a urinal drain to screen debris from entering. - Referring now to
FIGS. 9-11 , in other embodiments, thecenter portion 14 of thescreen 12 can be elevated by use of an arched support stand 38 that is sized to be positioned under the screen to provide adomed screen assembly 40 with thescreen 12 in a domed or mound-like configuration such that theperimeter edge 42 onouter portion 16 of thescreen 12 can be placed in contact with a substrate surface. The use of adomed screen assembly 40 is advantageous for hiding unappealing urine if the urinal is not timely flushed or it has been converted to a “low flush” system to reduce water usage. - In one embodiment, the arched support stand 38 is composed of a plurality of
arched leg sections 44 as depicted inFIGS. 10-11 , which are attached together under thescreen 12 and to the overlying fragrance/cleaner module 26 by means of afastener 30 a.
