Novel urine deflector

Abstract

The present invention relates to a novel urine defector that helps prevent spillage of urine through the gap under the toilet seat when the user sits on the toilet and passes urine. It consists of a one-piece device that can be detachably connected to the front part of a toilet seat and enables the toilet cover to be closed when not in use. The invention has a deflection member, which has a superior surface and four edges. By the peculiar arrangement of extensions from two of these edges, one of which is the deflection member, can be made to fit securely on the top of the front part of a toilet seat.

1 . A urine deflector for detachable interconnection with the front part of a toilet seat comprising of a one piece, deflection member for obscuring the gap between the toilet seat and toilet bowl preventing urine spillage outside the toilet bowl trough the gap. Said deflection member having a superior top surface wherein the said superior surface has 4 edges namely a first ( 12 ′), second ( 12 ″) third ( 14 ) and fourth ( 16 ) edge; characterized in that the said first ( 12 ′) and the said second edges ( 12 ″) are placed opposite to each other. The said third edge ( 14 ) whick when looked at from above is curved anteriorly ( 26 ) is configured to be placed on the outer rim of the the front part of the toilet seat and the said fourth edge ( 16 ) also curved anteriorly ( 26 ) is configured to be placed on the inner rim of the the front part of the toilet seat. 
     
     
         2 . The urine deflector of  claim 1 , wherein, the said third edge ( 14 ) extends downwards to form an extension ( 18 ), which curves further to form a lip extension ( 20 ) as a support for gripping the underside of the front of the toilet seat. 
     
     
         3 . The urine deflector of  claim 2 , wherein, the height of the said extension ( 18 ) from the said third edge is equivalent or bigger than the thickness of the toilet seat. 
     
     
         4 . The urine deflector of  claim 2 , wherein, the said extension ( 18 ) of the urine deflector is at right angle to the said lip extension ( 20 ). 
     
     
         5 . The urine deflector of  claim 1 , wherein, the said fourth edge ( 16 ) curves at the periphery and forms an extension ( 22 ) with a slight curvature to conform with the shape and thickness of the toilet seat, the said extension ( 22 ) ends with a concave curve ( 24 ) which supports the urine deflector to stay firmly fixed on the inner surface of the toilet seat. 
     
     
         6 . The urine deflector of  claim 5 , wherein the curvature of the concave curve ( 24 ) can be increased or decreased during its manufacture to suit the various shapes of the toilet bowl and toilet seat. 
     
     
         7 . The urine deflector of  claim 1 , which when it is looked at from above, wherein the anterior curvature ( 26 ) of the said third edge ( 14 ) and said fourth edge ( 16 ) of the superior top surface ( 12 ) can be manufactured to be curved when the toilet seat is oval, round or other like curved shape and straight ( 27 ) when the toilet seat is square or rectangular in shape.
