Abstract

A device for use with toilets introduces urinal functionality to traditional seated toilets. By providing a urinal attachment the need to raise and lower a toilet seat is eliminated, along with many of the corresponding issues that result from different gender preferences for toilet seat positioning. A mount connect a funneling body and a plumbing assembly to the toilet, with the funneling body receiving and channeling urine through the plumbing assembly and into the bowl of the toilet. The funneling body can be rotated and tilted with respect to the plumbing assembly, while the plumbing assembly can be rotated with respect to the mount. The ability to reposition the funneling body results in improved ergonomics as users can adjust the funneling body to better suit their preference. The funneling body can also be retracted to a storage position, allowing the toilet to be used normally in a sitting position.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A urinal attachment for toilet comprises:
 a funneling body;   the funneling body comprises an inlet;   a plumbing assembly;   the plumbing assembly comprises an outlet;   a mount, wherein the mount is attached to a toilet;   the funneling body being in fluid communication with the plumbing assembly;   the funneling body being rotatably and tiltably connected to the plumbing assembly;   the plumbing assembly being adjacently connected to the mount; and   the plumbing assembly being rotatably connected to the mount, wherein rotating the plumbing assembly imparts corresponding movement to the funneling body.   
     
     
         2 . The urinal attachment for toilet as claimed in  claim 1  comprises:
 the funneling body further comprises a lateral surface, and a drain hole; 
 the inlet and the drain hole being positioned opposite each other along the lateral surface; 
 the inlet being in fluid communication with the drain hole; and 
 the drain hole being in fluid communication with the plumbing assembly. 
 
     
     
         3 . The urinal attachment for toilet as claimed in  claim 1  comprises:
 the inlet comprises a lateral opening; 
 the lateral opening traversing into a lateral surface of the funneling body; and 
 the lateral opening being positioned opposite the plumbing assembly along the lateral surface. 
 
     
     
         4 . The urinal attachment for toilet as claimed in  claim 1  comprises:
 a lateral surface of the funneling body being tapered from the inlet towards the drain hole. 
 
     
     
         5 . The urinal attachment for toilet as claimed in  claim 1  comprises:
 a handle; 
 the handle being adjacently connected to a lateral surface of the funneling body; and 
 the handle being positioned exterior to the lateral surface. 
 
     
     
         6 . The urinal attachment for toilet as claimed in  claim 1  comprises:
 the plumbing assembly further comprises a telescoping section and a rigid section; 
 the telescoping section being adjacently connected to the rigid section; 
 the drain hole being in fluid communication with the telescoping section; 
 the telescoping section being in fluid communication with the rigid section; 
 the rigid section being rotatably connected to the mount; 
 the rigid section being in fluid communication with the outlet; and 
 the telescoping section being in fluid communication with the outlet through the rigid section. 
 
     
     
         7 . The urinal attachment for toilet as claimed in  claim 6  comprises:
 the telescoping section comprises a plurality of pipes; 
 a selected pipe from the plurality of pipes being slidably engaged with an adjacent pipe from the plurality of pipes; and 
 the selected pipe traversing into the adjacent pipe. 
 
     
     
         8 . The urinal attachment for toilet as claimed in  claim 1  comprises:
 the outlet being positioned between a rim of the toilet and a seat of the toilet; and 
 the outlet being positioned over a bowl of the toilet, wherein fluid being dispensed from the outlet is collected in the bowl. 
 
     
     
         9 . The urinal attachment for toilet as claimed in  claim 1  comprises:
 the mount comprises a bracing member and a hook member; and 
 the bracing member being adjacently connected to the hook member. 
 
     
     
         10 . A urinal attachment for toilet comprises:
 a funneling body;   the funneling body comprises an inlet, a lateral surface, and a drain hole;   a plumbing assembly;   the plumbing assembly comprises an outlet, a telescoping section, and a rigid section;   a mount, wherein the mount is attached to a toilet;   the funneling body being in fluid communication with the plumbing assembly;   the funneling body being rotatably and tiltably connected to the plumbing assembly;   the plumbing assembly being adjacently connected to the mount;   the plumbing assembly being rotatably connected to the mount, wherein rotating the plumbing assembly imparts corresponding movement to the funneling body;   the inlet and the drain hole being positioned opposite each other along the lateral surface;   the telescoping section being adjacently connected to the rigid section;   the drain hole being in fluid communication with the telescoping section; and   the telescoping section being in fluid communication with the rigid section.   
     
     
         11 . The urinal attachment for toilet as claimed in  claim 10  comprises:
 the inlet being in fluid communication with the drain hole; and 
 the drain hole being in fluid communication with the plumbing assembly. 
 
     
     
         12 . The urinal attachment for toilet as claimed in  claim 10  comprises:
 the inlet comprises a lateral opening; 
 the lateral opening traversing into the lateral surface; and 
 the lateral opening being positioned opposite the plumbing assembly along the lateral surface. 
 
     
     
         13 . The urinal attachment for toilet as claimed in  claim 10  comprises:
