Hygienic urinal

Abstract

A hygienic urinal for installation in restrooms is disclosed. The hygienic urinal consists of an outer body and an inner body. The outer body comprises a pair of sidewalls connected at the rear edges to a rear wall, and a horizontally oriented top connected to both sidewalls and the rear wall resulting in a boxlike structure open at the front. The rear wall of the outer body is adjacent to and flush with a vertical wall of the restroom. The urinal bottom is recessed in the restroom floor and gradually sloped toward a centrally positioned drain. The inner body of the urinal consists of two inner sidewalls connected along their front edge to the outer body sidewalls and along their rear edge to an inner rear wall parallel to the outer rear wall. A urine deflector centered in the inner rear wall extending downward from the top of the urinal deflects urine toward the splatter shields to prevent urine from splashing onto the trousers or shoes of an individual using the urinal or surfaces of the surrounding restroom. Splatter shields are positioned on either side of the urine deflector extending from the inner rear wall angularly toward the front and parallel to a sidewall of the urine deflector. The urinal is connected at its upper end to a supply of water and is provided with internal passages to allow rinsing of urine from the urinal after by the operation of a flow control valve.
