Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to deodorisation and treatment of urine in urinals and, in particular, to a cartridge for such purpose.
  • Flushing urinals arc considered costly due to water wastage and water treatment costs. Waterless urinals are increasingly popular due to decreased water consumption and wastage. Flushing urinals can be converted to waterless urinals, but at relatively high cost.
  • Waterless urinals generally utilize a one-way valve which opens in the presence of
  • Urinal 10 urine to allow the urine to flow to a sewage trap.
  • the valve then closes to prevent urine odours developing in the bathroom area.
  • urine odours still commonly permeate bathrooms where waterless urinals are used.
  • Cartridges containing disinfectant and/or scent are commonly used to mask this odour, but rarely mask the odour completely.
  • Such cartridges are normally placed in a urinal to lie above the urinal wastehole.
  • a urinal deodoriser cartridge assembly comprising:
  • an insert configured for insertion into and removable retention within, the outer body, and to retain a deodorising block
  • the assembly being adapted to permit contact between urinal liquids and the deodorising block by a base of the insert being positionable to contact a surface of the urinal.
  • a second aspect of the present disclosure provides a device configured for placement in a urinal, and for retaining a urinal deodoriser cartridge assembly according to the first aspect, said device comprising:

  • the position of the base of the insert of the assembly relative to the surface of the urinal provides contact between urinal liquids and a deodorising block of the retained ' assembly when the urinal is used.
  • a further aspect of the present disclosure provides a device configured for placement on a surface, and for retaining an object, said device comprising:
  • the means of changing dimensions comprises:
  • each frangible strip being configured such that removal thereof from the device changes the position of the retained object relative to the surface;
  • an adjustable join connecting the first and second sections, the adjustable join being configured to deform according to a force applied thereto, to (i) thereby change a position of the first section relative to the second section within the device, and (ii) break under application of sufficient force such that the second section is separable from the first section, and the first section can be placed on the surface to change the position the retained object relative to the surface.
