![]() ![]() This not only creates an odor problem in public toilet facilities, but also a slip-and-fall liability problem to the establishment, and an embarrassment to the person whose clothing becomes wet. ![]() Older men especially often have a considerable problem with stream control and cessation dripping. When a man urinates into a urinal the initiation and cessation of the urination stream includes poorly directed stream control and dripping. Such wetness is not only caused by inadvertent splashing but is primarily caused by dripping. Second, the floor in front of a urinal is often found to be wet with urine spillage. First, it is well known that when a urine stream is directed into a urinal, impact with one of the urinal's interior surfaces creates splashes, and these splashes are often not fully contained within the urinal, but may come into contact with the user's clothing or fall to the floor in front of the urinal. The invention is directed to the well-known problem of urine containment in the use of urinals. The present invention teaches certain benefits in construction and use which give rise to the objectives described below.
