Malunga ne-Adam's Leaf Isikrini se-Urinal

Igqabi lika-Adam sisikrini se-yurinali esenzelwe iindlu zangasese zamadoda. Umbo wegqabi unomqolo ophakamileyo embindini kunye nemiphetho esisekelo esijikelezayo esiphambukisa umsinga womchamo size sithintele ukugalela komchamo umva ku msebenzisi nakumgangatho. Umchamo awugcinwa esikrinini, ngoko iziqholo ezongezelelweyo azifuneki. Igqabi lika-Adam lifaneleka phantse kubo bonke ubungakanani beyurinali kwaye lihlala lisebenza ixesha elingangeenyanga ezintandathu, nto leyo enciphisa iindleko zezinto kunye nomsebenzi wokucoca. Isikrini senziwa ngendlela yokufaka ngefom (injection molding) enkulu yoxinzelelo kusetyenziswa iplastiki eyenziwe ngokutsha nesongezelelweyo esixhasa ukubola kwemvelo emva kokusetyenziswa.

Iziqinisekiso, amalungu eqela kunye neenkcukacha zobugcisa ezinikezelwe ngumyili.

Iimpawu Ezizodwa: 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.
Imilinganiselo nePakishini: Adam's Leaf has dimensions of: 180mm. length, 170mm. width, 80mm. height, and weighs 114.76 grams.
Iithegi: It is leaf-shaped with a narrow high center ridge designed to deflect fluid
Ubuchwepheshe Bokuvelisa: Adam's Leaf is produced by high pressure injection molding using recycled plastic and EcoPure which facilitates its biodegration post-use.
Umngeni Woyilo: 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.
Uphando: 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.
Inkuthazo: 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.
Ubude Beprojekthi: The project idea was conceived in 2006 and the design completed after numerous prototypes and patented in 2016.
Ukuhamba Komsebenzi: 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.
