Abstract

Disclosed is a movable flushable urinal having a door for access by a male user to urinate into the urinal. The door prevents odors from emanating from the urinal. The urinal may be attached to a water supply with a sprayer for flushing the urinal. The urinal has a drain for discharge of urine and water to a sewer drain, or a toilet bowl. Some embodiments include a toilet having both a primary drain with a p-trap attached to the toilet bowl and a secondary drain with a second p-trap for discharge from the urinal. Flushing uses less water than conventional toilets. The urinal may attach to a stand, or mounting surface, for positioning near a toilet during use, and retraction away from the toilet while not in use. The urinal may be adjustable in height and have a handle for manipulating the urinal.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A movable flushable urinal comprising:
 a water supply line;   a main body coupled to the water supply line, the main body further comprising:
 an outer wall having a first opening therethrough for a user to urinate through; and 
 an inner volume for collecting urine; 
   a first door operatively coupled to the outer wall such that the first door covers the first opening when in the closed position and discloses the first opening when in the open position;   a spray nozzle operatively coupled to the water supply line, such that water flows from the water supply, through the spray nozzle, and onto the inner surface of the outer wall for flushing urine from the inner volume;   a valve coupled to one of the water supply line or the spray nozzle for controlling the flow of water through the spray nozzle; and   a waste discharge line coupled to the bottom of the main body for discharge of waste from the main body.   
     
     
         2 . The movable flushable urinal of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a mobile stand, wherein the main body is supported on the stand.   
     
     
         3 . The movable flushable urinal of  claim 2 , further comprising
 a handle coupled to the main body.   
     
     
         4 . The movable flushable urinal of  claim 3 , wherein the mobile stand supports the main body by the handle thereof. 
     
     
         5 . The movable flushable urinal of  claim 2 , wherein the mobile stand is a wheeled cart. 
     
     
         6 . The movable flushable urinal of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 an adjustable mounting arm, wherein the adjustable mounting arm is secured to a supporting surface and wherein the main body is supported by the adjustable mounting arm.   
     
     
         7 . The movable flushable urinal of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a second opening through the outer wall of the main body, the second opening being disposed at an elevation that is different from the elevation of the first opening; and   a second door operatively coupled to the outer wall such that the second door covers the second opening when in the closed position and discloses the second opening when in the open position.   
     
     
         8 . The movable flushable urinal of  claim 1 , wherein the waste discharge line is coupled to a toilet bowl such that waste from the inner volume thereof discharges into the toilet bowl. 
     
     
         9 . The movable flushable urinal of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a toilet, the toilet further comprising:
 a primary drain coupled to a bowl of the toilet, the primary drain having a primary p-trap; and 
 a secondary drain having a secondary p-trap, wherein the waste discharge line is partially inserted into the secondary drain such that waste from the inner volume of the movable flushable urinal discharges into the secondary drain. 
   
     
     
         10 . The movable flushable urinal of  claim 9 , further comprising:
 at least one mounting hole through a body portion of the toilet, the at least one mounting hole being configured for coupling of a waste discharge line mounting bracket to the toilet; and   a waste discharge line mounting bracket coupled to the waste discharge line and coupled to the toilet by means of the at least one mounting hole thereof, such that the waste discharge line is secured in its position relative to the secondary drain.   
     
     
         11 . The movable flushable urinal of  claim 9 , wherein the secondary drain merges with the primary drain at a point on the secondary drain after the secondary p-trap and a point on the primary drain after the primary p-trap. 
     
     
         12 . A toilet comprising:
 a primary drain coupled to a bowl of the toilet, the primary drain having a primary p-trap; and   a secondary drain coupled to a body portion of the toilet, the secondary drain having a secondary p-trap, the secondary drain being configured for waste from a movable flushable urinal to discharge thereinto.   
     
     
         13 . The toilet of  claim 12 , wherein the secondary drain merges with the primary drain at a point on the secondary drain after the secondary p-trap and a point on the primary drain after the primary p-trap.
