Abstract
A urinal screen includes a main body portion, an first front portion, and a second front portion, which each include a plurality of protrusions configured to break up a stream of fluid incident on the urinal screen and prevent splash. The first front portion is separated from the main body portion by a first fold line, and the second front portion is separated from the main body portion by a second fold line. The fold lines lack protrusions, and meet at the front of the urinal screen. The main body portion and first and second body portions form a circular configuration when unfolded to fit circular urinal basins. The first and second front body portions can be folded upwards to produce a pointed configuration so that the urinal screen can then fit in urinals having a pointed basin.
Claims20
A urinal screen adaptable to a plurality of urinal configurations, comprising:
- a main body having a plurality of protrusions extending away from the main body on a top side of the urinal screen;
- a first front portion that is joined contiguously with the main body along a first fold line and having a plurality of protrusions extending away from the first front portion on the top side of the urinal screen, and wherein the first fold line lacks protrusions and is configured to allow the first front portion to be folded by being rotated upward about the first fold line relative to the main body;
- and
- a second front portion that is joined contiguously with the main body along a second fold line and having a plurality of protrusions extending away from the second front portion on the top side of the urinal screen, and wherein the second fold line lacks protrusions and is configured to allow the second front portion to be folded by being rotated upward about the first fold line relative to the main body portion;
- and
- wherein when the first front portion and second front portion are not folded, the urinal screen has a circular configuration, and when the first front portion and the second front portion are folded upwards, the urinal screen has a pointed configuration.
A urinal screen, comprising:
- an anti-splash body;
- a base portion joined to the anti-splash body at a coupling region;
- the anti-splash body and base portion each comprising a plurality of protrusions extending outwardly;
- and
- the base portion having a first front portion and a second front portion that are configured to fold up along a first fold line and a second fold line, respectively, to change an outline of the base portion from a circular outline to a pointed outline.
A urinal screen, comprising:
- an anti-splash body and a base portion joined to the anti-splash body at a coupling region;
- the anti-splash body and base portion comprised of a webbing having a pattern that is formed by a plurality of connector links that intersect and join together and which define openings through the anti-splash body and base portion, the webbing defining a plane;
- a plurality of protrusions, wherein each one of the plurality of protrusions extends from an intersection of one or more of the plurality of connector links and extends outwardly perpendicular to the plane of the webbing;
- and
- the base portion having a first front portion and a second front portion, the first front portion defined by a first linear region across the base portion from a first side of the base portion to a front of the base portion along which the webbing is configured to allow the first front portion to fold upwards, the second front portion defined by a second linear region across the base portion from a second side of the base portion, opposite the first side of the base portion, to the front of the base portion along which the webbing is configured to allow the second front portion to fold upwards.
