Abstract
A funnel urinal, including a funnel body removably connected to at least a portion of the toilet to collect urine in response to being urinated therein, a urine collecting tube removably connected to at least a portion of the funnel body to receive the urine from the funnel body and direct the urine away from the funnel body, and a urine outlet channel removably connected to at least a portion of the urine collecting tube to dispense the urine into the toilet.
Description
- The present general inventive concept relates generally to toilets, and particularly, to a funnel urinal.
- While using a bathroom to urinate, urine often splashes out of a toilet and/or a urinal onto a floor and/or a toilet seat. Although this can happen to anyone, it is more common among men, due to the distance urine strikes the toilet bowl while standing. Not only does the urine release a potent odor after having splashed on the floor and/or the toilet seat, but the urine can also be a catalyst for pathogen growth and exposure.
- Unfortunately, despite having curved surfaces to direct any liquid including urine, into the bottom of the toilet, some urine entering the toilet bowl splashes. Furthermore, the presence of the urine on the floor and/or the toilet seat requires a deep cleaning process of the toilet and/or surrounding areas which can be incredibly tedious and time consuming.
- Therefore, there is a need for a funnel urinal to collect the urine into the toilet bowl in a controlled manner and prevent splashing.
- The present general inventive concept provides a funnel urinal.
- Additional features and utilities of the present general inventive concept will be set forth in part in the description which follows and, in part, will be obvious from the description, or may be learned by practice of the general inventive concept.
- The foregoing and/or other features and utilities of the present general inventive concept may be achieved by providing a funnel urinal, including a funnel body removably connected to at least a portion of the toilet to collect urine in response to being urinated therein, a urine collecting tube removably connected to at least a portion of the funnel body to receive the urine from the funnel body and direct the urine away from the funnel body, and a urine outlet channel removably connected to at least a portion of the urine collecting tube to dispense the urine into the toilet.
- The funnel body may include a protruding surface circumferentially disposed around at least a portion of an interior edge of the funnel body to prevent the urine from splashing out from the funnel body.
- The urine outlet channel may be more rigid than the urine collecting tube.
- The funnel urinal may further include a deodorizer removably disposed within at least a portion of the funnel body to dispense at least one of cleaning particles and deodorant particles into the funnel body in response to receiving the urine thereon.
- The funnel urinal may further include a funnel holder removably connected to at least a portion of the toilet to receive at least one of the funnel body and the urine collecting tube therein, such that the urine collecting tube is suspended therefrom.
- The funnel urinal may further include a tube holding plate removably connected to at least a portion of the toilet to prevent the urine collecting tube from moving away from the toilet.
- These and/or other features and utilities of the present generally inventive concept will become apparent and more readily appreciated from the following description of the embodiments, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of which:
-
FIG. 1 illustrates a top perspective view of a funnel urinal as disposed on a toilet, according to an exemplary embodiment of the present general inventive concept. - Various example embodiments (a.k.a., exemplary embodiments) will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings in which some example embodiments are illustrated.

FIG. 1 illustrates a top perspective view of a funnel urinal 100 as disposed on atoilet 10, according to an exemplary embodiment of the present general inventive concept. - The funnel urinal 100 may be constructed from at least one of metal, plastic, wood, glass, and rubber, etc., but is not limited thereto.
- The funnel urinal 100 may include a
funnel body 110, aurine collecting tube 120, aurine outlet channel 130, adeodorizer 140, afunnel holder 150, and atube holding plate 160, but is not limited thereto. - Referring to
FIG. 1 , thefunnel body 110 is illustrated to have a cylindrical shape. However, thefunnel body 110 may be rectangular, circular, conical, triangular, pentagonal, hexagonal, heptagonal, octagonal, or any other shape known to one of ordinary skill in the art, but is not limited thereto. Also, thefunnel body 110 may be constructed of a wide variety of colors to match atoilet 10. - The
funnel body 110 may be removably connected to at least a portion of thetoilet 10. Thefunnel body 110 may taper from a first end to a second end thereof. More specifically, a diameter and/or a circumference of the first end of thefunnel body 110 may be greater than a diameter and/or circumference of the second end of thefunnel body 110. Thefunnel body 110 may receive and/or collect a liquid, such as urine, in response to being urinated therein. Moreover, thefunnel body 110 may direct the urine from the first end to the second end of thefunnel body 110 in response to receiving the urine within at least a portion of thefunnel body 110. - The
funnel body 110 may include aprotruding surface 111, but is not limited thereto. - The
protruding surface 111 may be circumferentially disposed (i.e., in a circle) around at least a portion of an interior edge at the first end of thefunnel body 110. Theprotruding surface 111 may be a beveled surface and/or an arcuate shape (i.e., arcuately disposed) from the edge of the first end of thefunnel body 110 toward a center of thefunnel body 110. However, theprotruding surface 111 may not entirely cover the center of thefunnel body 110. In other words, theprotruding surface 111 may at least partially protrude toward the center of thefunnel body 110 and be distanced from the center of thefunnel body 110. Theprotruding surface 111 may prevent the urine and/or any other liquid from moving toward the first end of thefunnel body 110 and/or exit from the first end of thefunnel body 110, such as splashing out from thefunnel body 110. - The urine collecting
tube 120 may be removably connected at a first end to at least a portion of the second end of thefunnel body 110. Theurine collecting tube 120 may be removably connected without tools (e.g., screwdriver, wrench, power tool, etc.) and/or a fastener (e.g., screw, nail, bolt, washer, nut, etc.). In other words, theurine collecting tube 120 may be quickly connected and/or removed without using tools for removal. For example, theurine collecting tube 120 may be at least partially threaded to be screwed into a threaded portion on the second end of thefunnel body 110. Theurine collecting tube 120 may receive and/or collect the urine from thefunnel body 110, such that theurine collecting tube 120 may direct the urine away from thefunnel body 110. - Also, the first end of the
urine collecting tube 120 may have a watertight seal to prevent the urine from leaking therefrom. It is important to note that theurine collecting tube 120 may be highly flexible, such that theurine collecting tube 120 may at least partially deform (i.e., bend, stretch, expand) in response to an application of force (e.g., pushing, pulling) thereto. - The
urine outlet channel 130 may be removably connected to at least a portion of a second end of theurine collecting tube 120. Theurine outlet channel 130 may be removably connected without tools (e.g., screwdriver, wrench, power tool, etc.) and/or a fastener (e.g., screw, nail, bolt, washer, nut, etc.). In other words, theurine outlet channel 130 may be quickly connected and/or removed without using tools for removal. Moreover, theurine outlet channel 130 may be rigid. Furthermore, theurine outlet channel 130 may be more rigid than theurine collecting tube 120. As such, theurine outlet channel 130 may resist being bent. Furthermore, referring again toFIG. 1 , theurine outlet channel 130 may be disposed over a toilet bowl of thetoilet 10 to dispense the urine therefrom into the toilet bowl of thetoilet 10. - The
deodorizer 140 may be removably disposed within at least a portion of thefunnel body 110. Thedeodorizer 140 may dispense cleaning particles and/or deodorant particles into thefunnel body 110 and/or theurine collecting tube 120 in response to receiving the urine thereon. As such, thedeodorizer 140 may emit a fragrance to eliminate and/or prevent odor from the urine from dispersing into air. - Referring again to
FIG. 1 , thefunnel holder 150 is illustrated to be a clamp. However, thefunnel holder 150 may be a clip, a clasp, a rope, a wire, a cord, an adhesive (e.g., tape, glue), a magnet, and/or any combination thereof, but is not limited thereto. - The
funnel holder 150 may be removably connected to at least a portion of thetoilet 10. Additionally, thefunnel holder 150 may receive thefunnel body 110 and/or theurine collecting tube 120 therein, such that theurine collecting tube 120 may be at least partially suspended therefrom. - The
tube holding plate 160 may be removably connected to at least a portion of thetoilet 10. For example, thetube holding plate 160 may be removably connected behind a toilet seat and/or connected to theurine collecting tube 120. Thetube holding plate 160 may prevent theurine collecting tube 120 from moving away from thetoilet 10. - During use, the
funnel body 110 and/or the first end of theurine collecting tube 120 may be disposed on thetoilet 10 at a higher elevation than the second end of theurine collecting tube 120 and/or theurine outlet channel 130 to facilitate movement of the urine from the first end of theurine collecting tube 120 to the second end of theurine collecting tube 120 and/or theurine outlet channel 130. As such, theurine outlet channel 130 may drain the urine into thetoilet 10. - Therefore, the
funnel urinal 100 may collect the urine in a controlled manner by allowing a user to urinate into thefunnel body 110 and directing the urine into thetoilet 10. Also, thefunnel urinal 100 may prevent the urine from splashing onto a toilet seat and/or a floor, which reduces odor buildup and/or a need for frequent cleaning. - The present general inventive concept may include a
funnel urinal 100, including afunnel body 110 removably connected to at least a portion of thetoilet 10 to collect urine in response to being urinated therein, aurine collecting tube 120 removably connected to at least a portion of thefunnel body 110 to receive the urine from thefunnel body 110 and direct the urine away from thefunnel body 110, and aurine outlet channel 130 removably connected to at least a portion of theurine collecting tube 120 to dispense the urine into thetoilet 10. - The
funnel body 110 may include a protrudingsurface 111 circumferentially disposed around at least a portion of an interior edge of thefunnel body 110 to prevent the urine from splashing out from thefunnel body 110. - The
urine outlet channel 130 may be more rigid than theurine collecting tube 120. - The
funnel urinal 100 may further include adeodorizer 140 removably disposed within at least a portion of thefunnel body 110 to dispense at least one of cleaning particles and deodorant particles into thefunnel body 110 in response to receiving the urine thereon. - The
funnel urinal 100 may further include afunnel holder 150 removably connected to at least a portion of thetoilet 10 to receive at least one of thefunnel body 110 and theurine collecting tube 120 therein, such that theurine collecting tube 120 is suspended therefrom. - The
funnel urinal 100 may further include atube holding plate 160 removably connected to at least a portion of thetoilet 10 to prevent theurine collecting tube 120 from moving away from thetoilet 10. - Although a few embodiments of the present general inventive concept have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that changes may be made in these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the general inventive concept, the scope of which is defined in the appended claims and their equivalents.
