Urinal for both sexes

Abstract

A urinal for both sexes includes a first vessel for receiving urine and a second vessel. The first vessel includes a first end fixed to a fixed object and hanging in air. The first vessel further includes a second end distant to the first end. The second vessel extends from the second end of the first vessel and has an upwardly facing opening. The second vessel intercommunicates with an interior of the first vessel. The second vessel is an extension having an elongated shape for aligning with a female urethral orifice. Since the second vessel is elongated, a male or female user intending to urinate can stand or semi-squat with both of the legs on opposite sides of the second vessel, providing wider application in use.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to a urinal and, more particularly, to a urinal for both sexes.[0002]Due to the inherent differences in the physical structure between men and women and due to the failure of public sanitary facilities in meeting the female demands, men and women obtain different easiness in using toilets, particularly in urination in which a man can easily urinate whereas a woman might have to wait her turn in a long queue. The main reason is that the sanitary facility for urination for female users is the same as the sanitary facility for defecation, which is usually a sitting toilet in a closed space. Before and after use of the sitting toilet, a user intending to urinate has to lift the lid, wipe the seat, and covers the lid. In a public place, even if every person takes one or two minutes to do so, a long queue is formed when there are many users. The health of females holding back the urine is adversely affected.[0003]Squatting toi...
