Diverter, liquid-level indicator and chemical pre-treatment and post-treatment implementations useful in waterless urinals

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 shell placeable on the upper wall of the cartridge and over the opening therein;
• a spacer spacing said shell from the upper wall to permit urine to flow into the upper wall opening of the cartridge;
• said shell including an essentially fluid-obstructing upper surface bounded by a periphery which is spaced from the upper wall of the cartridge by said spacer, whereby said essentially fluid-obstructing upper surface is configured to direct the urine towards said periphery and thence onto the cartridge upper wall for entry into the upper wall opening, and said essentially fluid-obstructing upper surface of said shell includes an opening therein;
• a protective cap in said fluid-obstructing upper surface of said shell and closing the opening therein from fluid flow therein, said protective cap including a viewing window;
• and
• 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 through said protective cap viewing window when said float is caused to float upon urine collected on the cartridge upper wall and move upwards to said viewing window of said protective cap and thereby to evidence the existence of such upper wall collected urine.

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 shell placeable on the upper wall of the cartridge and over the opening therein;
• a spacer spacing said shell from the upper wall to permit urine to flow into the upper wall opening of the cartridge;
• a float moveable towards and away from the cartridge upper wall and floatable upon any urine collected on the cartridge upper wall;
• an indicator associated with said float and disposed to evidence the existence of any such upper wall collected urine;
• a tablet disposed as an agent which is capable of providing any such function as a deodorant and a sanitizing agent;
• a retainer engageable with said shell for supporting said tablet in said shell, and comprising an open-structured cup for supporting said tablet and for exposing said tablet to any urine collected in the upper wall;
• and
• said open-structured cup comprising an outer ring-like member, an inner ring-like member, and a plurality of spokes connecting said inner and outer ring-like members, said inner ring-like member having a passage therein for enabling contact of said float with any urine collected in the upper wall.

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 shell placeable on the upper wall of the cartridge and over the opening therein;
• a spacer spacing said shell from the upper wall to permit urine to flow into the upper wall opening of the cartridge;
• an attachment facilitator including at least one opening medium in said cartridge upper wall;
• and
• a coupling mechanism secured to said shell and disposed to engage said upper wall opening for enabling said shell to be coupled to said upper wall and, thus, to said cartridge, said coupling mechanism latches for latching said latches into said upper wall opening facilitator.
