Qhov Tsim

Txog Adam's Leaf Nplooj Adam

Nplooj Adam yog daim vov qhov chaw kua dej rau txiv neej tsev dej num. Daim nplooj muaj lub pob siab nyob nruab nrab thiab cov ntsis tsom kom tig kua dej thiab tiv thaiv tsis pub kua dej luam rov los raug tus siv thiab txaj taw. Kua dej tsis nyob nraum daim vov, yog li tsis xav tau khoom tso ntxhiab ntxiv. Nplooj Adam haum rau ntau hom qhov chaw kua dej thiab siv tau zoo mus txog rau lub caij rau lub hli, uas pab txo tus nqi khoom thiab nqi ntiav neeg ntxuav. Daim vov no tsim los ntawm txoj kev siv qauv kaw nrog kua siab (high pressure injection molding) los ntawm plastic uas siv rov qab thiab muaj cov khoom ntxiv uas pab kom yooj yim tuag mus rau hauv av tom qab siv tas.

Yam Tshwj Xeeb: Adam's Leaf is a uniquely designed men's urinal screen that effectively prevents urine splash-back for the user and keeps restroom floors clean to improve hygiene. It is biodegradable, and its design deflects the urine stream without splash or retention of urine in the urinal eliminating the need for added scents. It fits virtually any size urinal and its durability, up to six months, helps reduce material and janitorial labor costs.
Qhov Loj & Ntim: Adam's Leaf has dimensions of: 180mm. length, 170mm. width, 80mm. height, and weighs 114.76 grams.
Cov Ntsiab Lus: It is leaf-shaped with a narrow high center ridge designed to deflect fluid
Thev Naus Laus Zis Tsim Khoom: Adam's Leaf is produced by high pressure injection molding using recycled plastic and EcoPure which facilitates its biodegration post-use.
Kev Sib Tw Tsim Qauv: 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.
Kev Tshawb Fawb: 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.
Kev Txhawb Siab: 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.
Lub Sij Hawm Ua Hauj Lwm: The project idea was conceived in 2006 and the design completed after numerous prototypes and patented in 2016.
Txheej Txheem Ua Hauj Lwm: 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.
