Estimating the term…
A diverter (170, 270) atop the upper wall (110) of a cartridge (100) and over the opening (114, 115) therein avoids direct access of urine to the opening and the sealant (105) within the cartridge. The diverter is spaced by standoffs (182, 282) from the upper wall to provide a urine flow passage. A float (274) can be incorporated in the diverter to provide a visible signal of the presence of collected urine on the cartridge upper wall. A pre-treatment chemically-constituted tablet (210) held by a retainer (200) in the diverter provides sanitizing and/or deodorizing means. Post-treatment chemically-constituted tablets (224a) or pellets (224b) placeable at the outlet of the cartridge protect the drain pipe from corrosion and other harm.
In a urine cartridge having an upper wall and an opening therein for receipt of urine and for entry of the urine into the cartridge, a diverter for avoiding direct access of the urine to the opening, comprising:
A urine cartridge comprising:
In a urine cartridge having an upper wall and an opening therein for receipt of urine and for entry of the urine into the cartridge, the improvement comprising a float moveable towards and away from the cartridge upper wall and floatable upon any urine collected on the cartridge upper wall, said float having a viewable surface which is viewable when said float is caused to float upon urine collected on the cartridge upper wall and thereby to evidence the existence of such upper wall collected urine.
A urine cartridge comprising:
In an odor trap cartridge containing wastewater and liquid odor sealant floating thereon and having an access entry thereto, a method for conserving the quantity of the liquid odor sealant, comprising the step of diverting incoming wastewater from direct access to the entry.
