Zusammenfassung:Urinal apparatus (100) with an inverted flushable funnel for a commode (200) that converts the commode into a temporary urinal. Upon first sensor activation by a standing user, a movable jaw (12) moves forward and clamps a flushable funnel (15) against a movable arm (13). Simultaneously, the jaw pushes first switch (30) causing the arm to move forward dispensing and suspending the funnel above the commode bowl. The user urinates through the funnel, which channels the urine down into the commode bowl preventing urine spill around the commode. When through urinating, and second sensor activation by the user, the jaw retracts releasing the used funnel into the bowl. Simultaneously, the jaw pushes second switch (31) causing the arm to retract into the apparatus leaving the commode to function unimpeded. Flushing drains away the used funnel. Alternatively, without the apparatus (100), the user manually holds the funnel above the bowl, urinates through, drops it and flushes. The flushable funnels, have wet strength, water repellency, but degrade. The apparatus also stores extra funnels and toilet rolls.
