Patent ID: 8856976

Claim:
A urine shield for use with a toilet having a toilet bowl with a front, a rear, a diameter, a top surface with a ledge and curved interior side surface beginning under the ledge, comprising: a unified single piece flexible plastic sheet having a top and a bottom, a top width and a bottom width that are sufficient to permit the sheet to partly encircle the bowl of the toilet, four corners regions, a left portion having a bottom left end, a center portion, a right portion having a bottom right end, a height, and a flexibility that permits the sheet to be compression-fitted to the inside of the bowl without any use of fixtures, affixed ledgers, or right angle protrusions, the sheet, further comprising: a left flange sloping outward from the bottom of the left portion to the center portion with a length that decreases as the flange extends from the bottom left end to the center portion and extending at an angle less than perpendicular but more than parallel from the left portion, a right flange sloping outward from the bottom of the right portion to the center portion with a length that decreases as the flange extends from the bottom right end to the center portion and extending at an angle less than perpendicular but more than parallel from the right portion, and a thickness sufficiently thin to permit hand bending of the sheet to fit into the toilet bowl and sufficiently thick to permit relaxation of the sheet to compression-fit it in the bowl.
