Urinal screen having foldable portions
View Patent ↗A urinal screen device includes a body portion having one or more fold lines to allow the urinal screen, or a base portion of the urinal screen that sits in the urinal basin, to bend so as allow maximal coverage of the basin without compromising functionality. The fold lines are created by regions that lack the protrusions formed on body of the urinal screen to break up fluid streams and prevent back splash. The regions lacking protrusion allow the body to bend easier because there are no protrusions being forced against each other along the fold line.
1. A urinal screen adaptable to a plurality of urinal configurations, comprising
a main body having a plurality of protrusions extending away from the main body on a top side of the urinal screens; and
at least one fold line across the top of the main body.
2. The urinal screen of claim 1 , wherein the at least one fold line comprises a plurality of perforations through the urinal screen.
3. The urinal screen of claim 1 , wherein the at least one fold line comprises a fold line from a front of the main body to a back of the main body.
4. The urinal screen of claim 1 , wherein the main body is comprised of a honeycomb webbing defining hexagonal openings and intersecting portions of the webbing, wherein each one of the plurality of protrusions extends from a respective one of the intersecting portions and wherein the fold line is created by a reduced structure of the main body along the fold line.
5. The urinal screen of claim 1 , wherein the urinal screen is joined to an anti-splash body opposite a front of the urinal screen, at a coupling region.
6. The urinal screen of claim 5 , wherein the coupling region comprises a plurality of perforations along the coupling region.
7. The urinal screen of claim 1 , wherein the at least one fold line comprises first, second, and third fold lines that all converge at a front of the main body.
8. A urinal screen, comprising:
an anti-splash body;
a base portion joined to the anti-splash body at a coupling region;
the anti-splash body and base portion each comprising a plurality of protrusions extending outwardly; and
the base portion having at least one fold line across a top of the base portion, wherein the at least one fold line is a region along the base portion in either there is a lack of protrusions or a structure of the base portion is reduced.
9. The urinal screen of claim 7 , wherein the anti-splash body and base portion each comprise a webbing comprised of connector links that are arranged to form openings through the anti-splash body and the base portion, and wherein protrusions of the plurality of protrusions extend from intersections of the connector links.
10. The urinal screen of claim 9 , wherein the openings are hexagonal openings.
11. The urinal screen of claim 9 , wherein at least some connector links are omitted along the at least one fold line.
12. The urinal screen of claim 9 , wherein at least some connector links have a reduced thickness along the at least one fold line relative to connector links not along the at least one fold line.
13. The urinal screen of claim 8 , wherein the coupling region comprises perforations.
14. The urinal screen of claim 8 , wherein the plurality of protrusions extend outwardly and perpendicularly to a plane of the anti-splash body and base portion.
15. The urinal screen of claim 8 , further comprising a plurality of breaks at an edge of the anti-splash body and base portion.
16. The urinal screen of claim 15 , wherein a material of the anti-splash body and base portion includes a fragrance oil.
