Patent ID: 8387171

Claim:
A microflush urinal, comprising: a urinal housing in fluid communication with each of a pre-existing cleansing fluid supply conduit and a waste removal conduit, said housing including a rear wall having a mounting surface and an opposed splash surface and sidewalls coextensive therewith, each said sidewall having a curvilinear inner surface wherein said splash surface and said inner sidewall surfaces together delineate a waste capture region; said housing further having a floor portion at a distal extent of said sidewalls, said floor portion having an outer surface and an inner surface that define a fluid well therewithin; and a valve means in electrical communication with each of a sensor means and a fluid delivery manifold, wherein said fluid delivery manifold directs water or cleansing fluid to a nozzle means in fluid communication therewith upon activation of said sensor means; said nozzle means being disposed in said urinal housing in an upper containment region above said waste capture region and being in fluid communication with said fluid inlet supply when, in response to said activation, said sensor means transmits a first flush cycle signal to said valve means and sprays a flush of ¼ gallon or less via said nozzle means, and wherein said nozzle means includes at least one fluidic oscillator configured to evenly distribute cleansing fluid in an oscillating spray from said upper containment region, said oscillating spray distributing fluid to fully cleanse said urinal rear wall splash surface and said coextensive sidewalls and, with each activation or flush, fully discharge each user's urine or waste.
