A deodorant and urine dispersing device for placement in a urinal and including a receptacle mounted on a flexible base pad having an opening for alignment with the outlet opening in a urinal and including vertically spaced urine dispersing filters each of which includes a plurality of rod-like members oriented in spaced, parallel relation with the rod-like members in the upper dispersing filter being parallel to the path of urine flow and the rod-like members in the lower dispersing filter being perpendicular to the rod-like members in the upper dispersing filter. Each of the rod-like members have a generally cylindrical upper surface and a lower edge defined by downwardly converging surfaces forming a V-shaped configuration with the lower apex defining a narrow edge to reduce capillary action and reduce splashing of urine when it engages the dispersing filters. In one embodiment of the invention, the receptacle includes a lower shelf formed by a plurality of spaced parallel supporting rods with a front wall of the receptacle having an opening above the shelf to enable a deodorant block or cake to be easily inserted into the receptacle. In another embodiment of the invention, the receptacle includes only upper and lower urine dispersing filters, is substantially shorter in height and includes a flexible base pad.
A urinal receptacle and pad assembly adapted to be positioned on the bottom wall of a urinal having an outlet opening, said assembly comprising a base pad for positioning on the bottom wall of the urinal, a receptacle having an upstanding peripheral wall connected to said base pad, said peripheral wall including an upper urine dispersing filter at the upper end of the peripheral wall and a lower urine dispersing filter mounted interiorly of said peripheral wall in vertically spaced relation below the upper dispersing filter, said base pad including a large centrally located opening for alignment with the outlet in the bottom wall of the urinal, each of said dispersing filters including a plurality of spaced parallel rods with the rods in the upper dispersing filter being approximately perpendicular to the rods in the lower dispersing filter for dispersing urine flow without splash back toward a user of the urinal.
A urine dispersing device adapted to be placed in a urinal to prevent back splash of urine when using the urinal, said device comprising an upstanding peripheral wall, a plurality of spaced parallel rods at the top of said peripheral wall, a plurality of spaced parallel rods at an intermediate portion of said peripheral wall, a flexible base pad attached to said peripheral wall and adapted to be supported in a urinal with rods at the top of said peripheral wall being parallel to a urine flow path for dispersing the urine without back splash, said base pad including an opening for registry with an outlet in a bottom portion of a urinal for discharge of urine.
A receptacle and pad assembly adapted to be placed in a urinal to prevent back splash of urine when using the urinal, said assembly comprising:
