Ikibaho cy'Ijisha rya Adamu ni ikibuga cyo kwikingira gishyirwa mu bwiherero bw'abagabo. Imiterere yacyo isa n'ijisha ifite umurongo uzamutse hagati n'impande zunamye zituma umuyoboro w'inkari usubira inyuma bikagabanya gusama ku ukoresha ndetse no hasi. Inkari ntizigumana kuri iki kibuga, bityo ntibisaba guteranya ibinuka byiza. Ikibaho cy'Ijisha rya Adamu gihuye n'ubunini bw'ibibuga byinshi kandi gikomeza gukora neza igihe kingana n'amezi atandatu, bigatuma ikoreshwa ry'ibikoresho n'umurimo wo gusukura bigabanuka. Iki kibuga gikorwa hifashishijwe uburyo bwa "high pressure injection molding" buva kuri pulasitike yongeye gukoreshwa, hiyongereyeho ikintu gifasha mu gusenyuka bidasanzwe (biodegradation) nyuma yo gukoreshwa.

Amazina y'abagize uruhare, abagize itsinda n'amakuru y'ubuhanga byatanzwe n'umuhanzi.

Ibintu Bidasanzwe: 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.
Ibipimo n'Ipaki: Adam's Leaf has dimensions of: 180mm. length, 170mm. width, 80mm. height, and weighs 114.76 grams.
Ibibazo Fatizo: It is leaf-shaped with a narrow high center ridge designed to deflect fluid
Ikoranabuhanga ryo Guteza Imbere: Adam's Leaf is produced by high pressure injection molding using recycled plastic and EcoPure which facilitates its biodegration post-use.
Ikibazo cy'Ishusho: 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.
Ubushakashatsi: 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.
Ibyatumye Habaho: 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.
Igihe cy'Umushinga: The project idea was conceived in 2006 and the design completed after numerous prototypes and patented in 2016.
Uburyo bw'Imikorere: 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.
