Adam's Leaf
Urinal Screen for Custom Hygienics, LLC.
Adam's Leaf is a uniquely designed men's urinal screen with a high fin-like shape that effectively prevents urine splash-back onto the user and restroom floor to improve hygiene. Its shape deflects the urine stream without splash or retention of urine which makes added scents unnecessary. It fits virtually any size urinal and its durability reduces material and janitorial labor costs. Its primary purpose is to improve bathroom hygiene and thereby reduce the risk of exposure to potential pathogens, bacterial and viral, for the men's room patrons and staff.

Tags
It is leaf-shaped with a narrow high center ridge designed to deflect fluid
Production Technology
Adam's Leaf is produced by high pressure injection molding using recycled plastic and EcoPure which facilitates its biodegration post-use.
Design Challenge
The project was time consuming as a variety of materials and shapes were trialed to achieve a workable and durable design that was both pleasing to the eye and effective. The cost of creating an injection mold and the various trial models were expensive along with the intellectual property legal costs.
Project Duration
The project idea was conceived in 2006 and the design completed after numerous prototypes and patented in 2016.
Operation Flow
It will function in any position in a men's urinal except when inverted-(upside down) and weighs enough not be moved by water from urinal flushing.
Research
Numerous prototypes were made including clay models and early 3D printed models to achieve a successful design and also several plastic formulations were trialed to achieve the correct Shore hardness and composition to allow moderate flexibility but shape retention to remain effective. EcoPure was added to enhance biodegradation post-use.
Inspiration
Adam's Leaf was inspired by the need to improve men's bathroom hygiene and takes its shape from fig leaves strategically painted in Renaissance and Pre-Renaissance art. The high fin-like center and angled leaf edges facilitate the flow of fluid off the leaf without splash back onto the user and surrounding floor, and its unusual design helps the urinal user stay focused over the urinal longer to completely finish the process also improving restroom hygiene.
