Disposable Toilet Overspray Shield and Funnel

Abstract

A disposable spray shield to assist individuals, especially males, with the standing use of toilet facilities. The disposable spray shield serves to contain urine overspray from an individual standing in front of a toilet. The device may be placed and positioned on, or removed from, the toilet. The device is a truncated cone of flexible, coated fiber board or paperboard material, with a large U-shaped space formed in one side. The narrow end of the cone is inserted into the toilet and extends into the toilet basin. The device is preferably constructed from a medium weight flexible coated fiber board sheet, attached back onto itself at corner tabs near the narrow end of the cone. Handle cutouts may be positioned near the upper perimeter of the cone. An arrangement of slots and tabs are used to secure the fiber board sheet back onto itself at the lower perimeter.

We claim: 
     
         1 . A disposable toilet overspray shield for use with a toilet for standing urination, the toilet having a bowl and/or seat presenting an open, generally elliptical rim, in a plane generally parallel with a support surface on which the toilet is positioned, the toilet overspray shield comprising:
 a curved shield comprising a single wall funnel shaped panel of coated fiber board material, defining a partially open side, an open discontinuous upper rim defining an inlet opening, and a closed continuous lower rim defining an outlet opening;   wherein the lower rim of the funnel may be removably positioned within the generally elliptical rim of the toilet bowl to support the funnel upright with the outlet opening directed into the toilet bowl, and wherein the funnel may be oriented to position the partially open side to receive standing urination into the funnel.
