Urinal collecting pad for toilet or commode

Abstract

An inexpensive and disposable highly absorbent pad for placement on a floor surface directly in front of a toilet flush bowl or commode for absorbing fluid not deposited within the confines of the toilet flush bowl which would otherwise drip on the floor. Fluid absorbed by the pad is prevented from reaching the underlying floor area thereby eliminating the problems associated with fluids being deposited on the floor. The pad includes an upper absorbent layer of material and a lower non-skid fluid impervious layer of material that are glued together. The configuration of the pad includes a truncated base portion at the lower edge and the recessed portion for the commode or toilet flush bowl at the top portion.

1 . A disposable and inexpensive floor mounted pad for placement on a floor surface directly in front of a toilet flush bowl for absorbing fluid splattered or otherwise not deposited within the toilet flush bowl, said pad comprising:
 a multilayered body with a first layer of fluid absorbing material and a second layer of fluid impervious material, said second layer constructed of a non-slip fluid impervious material;   an adhesive material bonding together said first layer and said second layer of said multilayered body;   said body being substantially flat and so shaped to having a base portion and a narrowed portion;   said base portion being the end of the body that is to be placed at the base of the toilet flush bowl, wherein the base portion is sized to receive at least a portion of the toilet flush bowl; and   said narrowed portion being on the opposite end of the body than the base portion, wherein said narrowed portion is truncated to be so shaped as to allow a user of a toilet flush bowl to stand in front of or sit on said toilet flush bowl without touching the pad.   
   
   
       2 . A floor mounted pad as in  claim 1 , wherein:
 said base portion includes a plurality of radial cuts for adjusting the size of the recess opening around the base of a toilet flush bowl.   
   
   
       3 . A system for absorbing fluid splattered or otherwise not deposited within a toilet flush bowl, said system comprising:
 a toilet flush bowl;   a urine collecting pad placed on the floor in front of said toilet flush bowl;   said pad comprising a multilayered body, wherein said multilayered body comprises a first layer of fluid absorbing material and a second layer of fluid impervious material, said second layer constructed of a non-slip fluid impervious material;   an adhesive material bonding together said first layer and said second layer of said multilayered body;   said body being substantially flat and so shaped to having a base portion and a narrowed portion;   said base portion being the end of the body that is to be placed at the base of the toilet flush bowl, wherein the base portion is sized to receive at least a portion of the toilet flush bowl; and   said narrowed portion being on the opposite end of the body than the base portion, wherein said narrowed portion is truncated to be so shaped as to allow a user of a toilet flush bowl to stand in front of or sit on said toilet flush bowl without touching the pad.   
   
   
       4 . A system as in  claim 3 , wherein:
 said base portion includes a plurality of radial cuts for adjusting the size of the recess opening around the base of the toilet flush bowl.
