Dual trapezoidally-shaped urinal collecting pad
View Patent ↗An inexpensive and disposable urine collecting pad for placement on a floor surface directly below a urinal for collecting fluid not deposited within the confines of the urinal which would otherwise drip on the floor. Fluid collected by the pad is prevented from reaching the underlying floor area thereby eliminating the problems associated with fluids being deposited on the floor. The pad includes an upper fluid collecting layer of material and a lower non-skid fluid impervious layer of material that are glued together. The configuration of the pad includes a dual end, each end having a trapezoidal shape with flat parallel ends and tapered sides so that the urine collecting pad cannot be improperly aligned during installation. The trapezoidal and tapered side edges allow a person to stand in front of the urinal without the person's shoes standing on the collecting pad.
1. A disposable and inexpensive floor mounted pad for placement on a floor surface directly below a urinal for collecting and evaporating urine comprising:
a pad body including a first layer of fluid collecting material;
a second layer fluid impervious material bonded to said first layer of fluid collecting material, said second layer having a connecting side and a floor side and being constructed of a non-slip fluid impervious material;
adhesive material on the connecting side of said second layer thereby bonding said first layer of fluid collecting material to said second layer of fluid impervious material; and
said pad body being constructed in a substantially flat pad having dual identical and opposing parallel ends, each parallel end having mirror image sidewalls that taper as they approach the respective parallel end such that said pad body has opposing trapezoidally-shaped portions and is properly aligned when installed with either parallel end below the urinal.
2. A floor mounted pad as in claim 1 , wherein:
said pad includes a felt layer on top and a synthetic bottom layer that is liquid impervious and non-skid against a floor surface.
