Abstract (en)

[origin: EP3533943A1] The device is formed from an essentially oval frame (1), open at one end, in which are defined two branches from which a plurality of flexible filaments (2) project inwardly, the filaments defining a shock-absorbing plane for urine or feces entering the toilet, such that the frame is disposed slightly above the water level of the U-bend of the toilet. For this purpose, the device has an arm (4) comprising a "U" shape (5) for coupling and fitting on the edge of the toilet bowl. In this way, the filaments (2) deform elastically on contact with feces or urine, acting as shock-absorbing elements that reduce the entry speed of the waste, preventing this from creating splashes when it comes into contact with the toilet water.
