Abstract
A new and improved urine deflector for eliminating the splatter of urine on surfaces of a toilet bowl and toilet seat when males urinate from a standing position. The invention comprises a collar having paired opposed arcuate sections and paired opposed elongated sections together forming a generally oval configuration. Further included is an inner flange disposed downward from an inner edge of the collar. The flange is in generally frictional communication with an interior edge of the toilet bowl for ease of removal, cleaning, and reinstallation. A baffle is oriented on an outer edge of a rearward arcuate section of the collar. The baffle redirects urine away from a hinged section of the toilet seat. Also included is a lip extending upwardly from the outer perimeter of the collar. Finally, the device is fabricated from an elastomeric material, preferably plastic.

6119282 - Toilet drip and splash guard

A toilet drip and splash guard is comprised of an annular sheet with a central opening. A down-turned flange is arranged at an inner edge of the sheet, and an upturned flange is arranged at an outer edge of the sheet. A tongue is arranged at a rear end of the sheet. The guard is positioned on a toilet rim, with the tongue inserted between the hinges of the toilet seat to prevent the guard from rotating. The inner diameter of the guard is slightly smaller than an inner diameter of the toilet rim. The guard is centered about the toilet rim by having the down-turned flange engaged around the inner edge of the toilet rim. The toilet rim is thus shielded from urine drips and splashes. The guard is substantially wider than the toilet rim, so that it is projected substantially beyond the toilet rim for shielding the floor under the toilet from urine drips and splashes. The front of the guard is narrower than the sides so as not to obstruct a user standing in front of the toilet. The sheet is easily installed and removed, and it is also very easy to clean.
