Description
Cover system with cover and fastener, and cover for such cover system
Technical field
The invention relates to a cover system comprising a cover and a fastener for
a urinal,
and to a cover for such a cover system.
Prior art
Urinals are provided in numerous public toilets. If use of a urinal is
undesirable, for
example if there is a defect, plastic bags or the like are often taped over
the urinal in
question.
It is known as a further measure to close urinals with a lid in such a case.
DE 20307932
U1 discloses a lid which engages behind the flushing rim of the urinal. To
adhesively
attach a flap which is formed of plastic film parts and which has side parts
onto the bowl
is known from DE 20317340 U1.
Disclosure of the invention
The object of the invention is to provide a hygienic and stable cover system
for a urinal.
Another object is to provide a cover for such a cover system.
The objects are achieved by the features of the independent claims.
Advantageous
embodiments and advantages of the invention will be apparent from the other
claims, the
description and the drawings. The features set out individually in the claims
can be
combined with one another in a technologically useful manner and supplemented
by
explanations from the description and by details from the figures, with

According to one aspect of the invention, a cover system is proposed
comprising a cover
and a fastener for at least temporarily rendering inoperative a urinal
attached to a wall
and/or a floor. The fastener connects the cover to the wall and/or floor. The
cover has a
self-supporting body which, in the intended state of use, covers the urinal,
at least at an
upper part, at least up to its bowl opening, in particular covers its upper
half up to and
together with the bowl opening.
The cover can advantageously be modeled on at least one contour of the urinal
or can at
least partially be modeled on the contour of the urinal. The cover may thus
cover an upper
part of the urinal at least up to its bowl opening.
The cover may closely fit around the contour, in particular in a snug fit, so
that it becomes
difficult to accidentally remove the cover. Significant parts of the urinal
can be covered to
prevent contact.
In particular, the body of the cover may be in the form of an outwardly curved
bowl
projecting from the wall or floor. The convex design, as seen from the viewer,
may make
it more difficult to accidentally use the urinal. On the other hand, cleaning
of the surface
of the cover can be made easier.
The cover can also advantageously be designed to cover the urinal with its
flush valve,
which can be operated mechanically or contact-free. In the case of urinals in
which a pipe
arranged on the wall leads from the flush valve to the urinal for the supply
of water, the
pipe can also be covered by the cover.
The cover can advantageously cover the entire setup including urinal and flush
valve as
well as any pipe, or only part of the setup, preferably in such a way that at
least the bowl
opening of the urinal is covered.
The cover is advantageously made of a plastic, for example as an injection
molded part
or the like. It is reusable and can be easily stored stacked with other
similar covers. The
surface may advantageously have fungicidal and/or antibacterial properties.
It is advantageous to provide a sturdy, high quality and attractively shaped
cover which
can be mounted as required in a fixed manner, so that tools are necessary in
order to
Date Recue/Date Received 2022-07-06
3
detach the cover. It is optionally possible to design a fastening, for example
to the wall,
which can be detached without the use of tools.
Since not just the bowl opening of the urinal, but also at least a large part
of the urinal or
even the entire urinal can be covered using the cover, accidental usage of the
urinal can
be avoided.
The cover is easy to clean and can bear lettering or decoration if required.
It is also
possible to adapt the cover in color, shape and the like to already existing
sanitary objects
in order to create a pleasing overall impression of the toilet room.
In an advantageous embodiment of the cover system, the self-supporting body of
the
cover can completely cover the urinal. All parts of the urinal can be covered
to prevent
contact.
The cover can also be advantageously designed to cover the urinal with its
flush valve,
which can be operated mechanically or contact-free. In the case of urinals in
which a pipe
arranged on the wall leads from the flush valve to the urinal for the supply
of water, the
pipe can also be covered by the cover.
The cover may advantageously cover the entire setup including the urinal and
flush valve
as well as any pipe.
In an advantageous embodiment of the cover system, the body of the cover may
be of
single-part construction. This allows for a simple process of manufacturing
the cover.
In an advantageous embodiment of the cover system, the body of the cover may
be of
multi-part construction. The parts of the body may be plugged together,
adhesively
attached together, or otherwise assembled.
In an advantageous embodiment of the cover system, the body of the cover can
be formed
from body segments which, in the intended state of use, overlap the urinal in
a jalousie-
or lampion-like manner at least at its bowl opening. This allows the cover to
be placed on
the wall above the urinal when not in use, or alternatively below the urinal
when the
jalousie- or lampion-like body is folded together to expose the bowl opening
of the urinal.

In an advantageous embodiment of the cover system, the cover may be modeled on
an
outer contour of the urinal. Thus, the cover may be small in construction.
In an advantageous embodiment of the cover system, the fastener may comprise
one or
more clamping elements with which the body of the cover is clamped to the
urinal in the
intended state of use. At least one area of the cover in particular may be
designed to be
clamped to the cover. For example, opposite areas of the edge of the cover can
be
matched to the outline of the urinal, for example on the wall, in such a way
that the urinal
is clamped by opposite edge areas of the cover. Additionally or alternatively,
corresponding clamping elements can be attached to the cover, which can be
clamped to
the urinal.
Additionally or alternatively, corresponding clamping elements may be arranged
on the
wall, in the case of a wall-hung urinal, or on the floor, in the case of a
urinal standing on
the floor, into which the cover may be inserted.
In an advantageous embodiment of the cover system, the fastener can have, as a
wall-
side fastening element or cover-side fastening element, at least one latching
means
which, in the intended state of use, is latched to a complementary cover-side
fastening
element or wall-side fastening element. The fastener in particular can have
one or more
wall hooks and/or a hook bar as the wall-side fastening element. For example,
the cover
can be easily hooked into wall hooks or a hook bar. For this purpose, the
cover can also
have an inwardly facing, edge portion that is suitable for insertion into wall
hooks or a
hook bar.
In an advantageous embodiment of the cover system, the fastener may comprise a
frame
as a wall-side fastening element and/or as a cover-side fastening element. A
frame is
suitable for fastening by means of screws, Velcro fasteners, double-sided
adhesive tapes
or the like. Optionally, the cover can be hooked to a frame.
In an advantageous embodiment of the cover system, the fastener may comprise
one or
more magnets as a wall-side fastening element or cover-side fastening element
and at
least one retaining plate for magnets as a complementary cover-side fastening
element
Date Recue/Date Received 2022-07-06

or wall-side fastening element. This allows for fast attachment and quick
deassembly. A
plurality of magnets and/or retaining plates may be arranged on the edge of
the cover.
In an advantageous embodiment of the cover system, the fastener may comprise
at least
one suction cup as a wall-side fastening element or cover-side fastening
element.
This is advantageous when the urinal is attached to a tiled wall, so that
there is a preferred
substrate for one or more suction cups. This allows for fast assembly and fast
de-
assembly.
In an advantageous embodiment of the cover system, the fastener can have, as a
cover-
side fastening element, a recess with which the body of the cover is fastened
to a wall-
side fastening element, in particular a flush valve of the urinal, in the
intended state of
use. For this purpose, an edge can advantageously be formed on the cover,
which
extends inside the cover, which has the recess. This allows for particularly
simple
attachment of the cover to the wall.
In an advantageous embodiment of the cover system, the fastener may comprise a
Velcro
fastener as a wall-side fastening element or cover-side fastening element.
This allows for
fast assembly. The holding forces can be adjusted via the length of a
corresponding
Velcro strap. A hook tape can be arranged on the cover and a velour tape on
the wall,
which interact as a Velcro fastener, or vice versa. Likewise, the cover may
have a hook
tape and a velour tape alternately in pieces. It is preferred to use a tiled,
glazed or painted
substrate on which the corresponding complementary component can be adhesively
attached to the wall.
In an advantageous embodiment of the cover system, the fastener may comprise a
double-sided adhesive tape as the wall-side fastening element or cover-side
fastening
element. This allows for fast installation of the cover.
It goes without saying that, if required, two or more of the described
fastening methods
may be combined.
In a further aspect of the invention, a cover for a cover system for a urinal
that is fixed to
a wall and/or a floor is proposed, with a self-supporting body which can be
connected, in
Date Recue/Date Received 2022-07-06

the intended state of use, to the wall and/or the floor by using a fastener,
wherein the body
in the intended state of use covers the urinal, at least at an upper part, at
least up to its
bowl opening.
The cover can advantageously be modeled on at least one contour of the urinal
or can at
least partially be modeled on the contour of the urinal. Thus, the cover can
cover an upper
part of the urinal at least up to its bowl opening.
The cover can enclose the contour tightly, particularly with a snug fit, so
that accidental
removal of the cover becomes difficult. Significant parts of the urinal can be
covered to
prevent contact.
The body of the cover in particular may be in the form of an outwardly curved
bowl
projecting from the wall or floor.
The cover is advantageously made of a plastic, for example as an injection
molded part
or the like. It is reusable and can be easily stacked with other similar
covers. The surface
may advantageously have fungicidal and/or antibacterial properties.
It is advantageous to provide a sturdy, high quality and attractively shaped
cover which
can be mounted as required in a fixed manner, so that tools are necessary in
order to
detach the cover. It is optionally possible to design a fastening, for example
to the wall,
which can be detached without the use of tools.
Since not just the bowl opening of the urinal, but also at least a large part
of the urinal or
even the entire urinal can be covered using the cover, accidental usage of the
urinal can
be avoided.
The cover is easy to clean and can bear lettering or decoration if required.
Likewise, it is
possible to adapt the cover in color, shape and the like to already existing
sanitary objects,
so that a pleasing overall impression of the toilet room is created.
In an advantageous embodiment of the cover, the body may be of single-part
construction. This allows for a simple manufacturing process of the cover. All
parts of the
urinal can be covered to prevent contact.

The cover system 100 comprises a cover 10 and a fastener 50 having one or more
wall-
side fastening elements 52, for example wall plugs, and one or more cover-side
fastening
elements 54, for example screws or pins for insertion into the wall-side
fastening elements
52. The cover 10 is used to at least temporarily render the urinal 130
fastened to the wall
110 inoperable. The fastener 50 connects the body 12 to the wall 110.
The urinal 130 includes an upper part 136 that transitions into a bowl having
a bowl
opening 134.
The cover 10 has a self-supporting body 12, which completely covers the urinal
130 in the
intended state of use. The edge of the cover 10 completely surrounds the
contour 132 of
the urinal 130 attached to the wall 110.
In this embodiment, the body 12 of the cover 10 is of single-part construction
and rigid.
Two troughs 16 are arranged laterally on the upper side of the cover 10. Such
a trough
16 is also present centrally on the lower side. These stabilize the bowl-like
cover 10 and
can also be used to fasten the cover 10 to the wall 110. In this exemplary
embodiment,
pins (not shown) complementary to the openings 52 may be disposed on the cover
10
and may engage the openings 52 in the wall 110 to secure the cover 10 to the
wall 110.
Optionally, the body 12 of the cover 10 may be configured such that the side
parts are
adapted to the contour 132 of the urinal 130 to provide a friction fit with
the urinal 130. For
this purpose, the inner side of the cover 10 may be provided with a non-slip
coating in this
area.
Figs. 4 and 5 show a further embodiment of the invention with a short cover
10. Fig. 4
shows a perspective front view of a cover 10 connected to a wall-side
fastening element
52, as shown in the exemplary embodiment according to Fig. 1. Fig. 5 shows a
side view
of the cover 10 according to Fig. 4.
Unlike in the previous exemplary embodiment, the edge of the cover 10 does not
completely surround the contour 132 of the urinal 130 attached to the wall
110. The cover
10 has a shorter design and covers the urinal 130 only to such an extent that
the upper
part 136 is covered up to and including the bowl opening 134 of the urinal
130, in order to
Date Recue/Date Received 2022-07-06
12
make undesired use practically impossible. The cover 10 ends with an edge 14
approximately in the lower third of the urinal 130.
Figs. 6 to 8 show a further embodiment of the invention. Fig. 6 shows a
perspective front
view of a jalousie- or lampion-like cover 10 over a wall-mounted urinal 130.
Fig. 7 shows
a view of the cover 10 and the urinal 130 according to Fig. 6 as seen from the
wall side.
Fig. 8 shows a perspective front view of the cover 10 and urinal 10 of Fig. 6
with the cover
open, pushed together, and resting against the wall 110.
10 The body 12 of the cover 10 is formed from a plurality of body segments
20 which, in the
intended state of use, overlap the urinal 130 in a jalousie- or lampion-like
manner. For this
purpose, the cover 10 is fastened to the wall 110 with a frame as a fastening
element 54
on the cover side, for example adhered to an adhesive surface or screwed on
with screws
and dowels or the like.
The body segments 20 may optionally each be rigidly formed. In the illustrated
embodiment, these may have a flexurally soft or flexurally limp material which
is stretched
between stable ribs 56, two of which are indicated in Fig. 6, in the intended
state of use.
When the cover 10 is pushed together, it then takes up particularly little
space (Fig. 8).
Fig. 9 shows a perspective front view of a further embodiment of a jalousie-
or lampion-
like cover 10 over a wall-mounted urinal 130 similar to Fig. 6. In this
example, the cover
10 is shortened so that the entire urinal 130 is not covered, but essentially
the upper part
136 of the urinal is covered up to above the bowl opening 134. The cover 10
terminates
with an edge 14 which, when the cover 10 is fully extended, is positioned at
about the
level of the bowl opening 134.
Figs. 10 to 12 show a further embodiment of the invention. Fig. 10 shows a
