Anti-Backsplash Toilets and Urinals

Abstract

A toilet and urinal anti-backsplash configuration and apparatus are provided which preferably include a back wall with a tube built into said back wall so that major portions of urine being deposited into tube are prevented from backsplash toward urine depositor or adjacent surfaces. Said tube is preferably incorporated into the same material, most commonly white porcelain, as the rest of the toilet or urinal, thereby blending in with the fixture housing, and is rinsed via the same flushing system already in place with conventional toilets and urinals.

1 ) A toilet & urinal anti-backsplash configuration comprising a toilet or urinal, including a fixture back wall with a tube built into the back wall of toilet or urinal, with said tube which leads to, and exits beneath the surface of the water of toilet, and in some styles of urinals with water reservoirs at their base, or near to the drain of urinals without base reservoirs. 
     
     
         2 ) Upper opening of tube of sufficient size & shape to enable urine stream to be aimed into opening which routes urine down & away so that major portions of urine being streamed into tube are prevented from splashing back toward person, or onto nearby floors and surfaces. 
     
     
         3 ) Tube positioned in back wall to allow for rinsing when flushed, flowing to the same drain as is presently in use with conventional water system toilets and urinals. 
     
     
         4 ) Tube greatly reduces amount of backsplash, and/or spatter, of urine, either onto the person, toilet, floor, or surrounding area, by channeling it down into the water or toward the drain of a toilet, or urinal. 
     
     
         5 ) Tube also eliminates, or greatly reduces, amount of noise typically associated with urinating into a water filled basin of a conventional toilet, which is of particular benefit in residential use when other people are in immediate vicinity outside of restroom. 
     
     
         6 ) Reduced backsplash also reduces amount of odor, germs, & corrosive effects of urine, on external toilet surface, hardware fittings, or immediate area floors, walls, cabinetry, or partitions.
