Abstract

The present invention provides an improved fluid deflection apparatus adapted for use with conventional commodes apparatus. More particularly, the present invention is designed and configured for placement on commodes in clinical settings and is configured to provide an efficient urine deflection apparatus that eliminates the unhygienic and messy situations surrounding the splashing of bodily fluid during urination, particularly for male users. The present invention is designed, adapted and configured to facilitate the ready removal of the fluid deflection apparatus away from commode structures in a hygienic manner via urine shielding and draining means facilitating urine flow into the commode and away from the users. Additionally, the disclosed invention enhances safety and comfort providing anti-pinching means for protecting the skin of the user.

Dependent claims

A fluid defection apparatus for medical commode assemblies having a unitary, rigid body with a semicircular, C shape extending along a horizontal axis with a top side, bottom side, front and rear side:

said top side having a central portion containing a recessed well with beveled surfaces extending vertically from the top, and forming an interior funnel for directing fluid therethrough;
said bottom side having a rotation cradle wherein said rotation cradle extends vertically from said bottom side, and perpendicular to said top side,
said rotation cradle having a front convexly curved surface and a rear planar surface forming a cradled surface for notably attaching to a medical commode assembly;
and
said body having a set of handles extending radially from said top side and forming winged peripheral ends for hygienically handling the apparatus, and
wherein said set of handles each have a set of support legs formed underneath;
a fluid deflecting shield extending vertically from the rear side of said body, and perpendicular to the top side of said body;
the top side of said body comprises a double sloping positioning ledge having a semicircular configuration concentric to said body;
and
a set of support legs on the bottom of said body beneath said handles forming a support grid.

7 more elements

A fluid deflection apparatus for removable attachment to a commode assembly comprising:

a unitary hemispherical body having a substantially C-shaped configuration extending along a horizontal plane, and
a top planar surface with a recessed well at the center, and said well having a curved surface forming a sloped recess for funneling fluid,
a set of hygiene handles that extend from the periphery of said top planar surface at an obtuse angle,
a rotation cradle extending vertically therefrom and having a curved surface with a convex curved surface for rotable placement and removal from a commode assembly/apparatus,
said set of hygiene handles further comprising a set of support legs extending perpendicularly from beneath said handles, and support legs having an inner curved surface for matingly coupling to a frame of a medically accessible commode assembly;
and
a substantially C-shaped curved, planar shield extending from said hemispherical body for deflecting fluid;
and
said planar shield dimensioned to extend along the entire inner width of the hemispherical body;
and
said top planar surface comprising a sloping raised ridge along the top planar surface for ensuring patient safety and comfort, and
said top planar surface having a double-sloped profile decreasing from the outer peripheral distal edges downward to a substantially flat profile at the center forming a positioning notch.
