A universal, attachable urinal. Urine is discharged into receptacle (2) that funnels to a waste-tube (11) that runs through a hollow arm (3) to a pre-existing waste receiver. The arm (3), mounted by the receptacle (2), pivots on a stationary leg (4) between an operational and a nonoperational position. The leg (4) is secured next to the toilet by foot (6a) and/or support arm (7), using the closet bolt (8), toilet seat bolt (9), or other nearby secured object. A water line runs from the toilet's water source to the receptacle (2) for rinsing it and the conjoined waste-tube (11). Embodiments vary between the waste-tube (11) leading to the toilet bowl (12) or sewer-line (39), the manual or semi-automatic upright return of the arm (3), methods for securing the leg (4), and methods for controlling water dispersion to and in the receptacle (2) for rinsing.

1. A urinal that attaches to either side of a wide variety of contemporary toilets, comprising of: a. a receptacle having a funnel-like shape; a large opening on one end, a small opening on the opposite end,b. an arm that is inflexible, mounted by said receptacle,c. a leg that is inflexible,d. a means for mounting said arm to said leg and allowing the arm to pivot between a non-operational, upright position and an operational, near-horizontal position not to exceed below a 5 degree incline on said leg,e. a foot, designed to receive said leg,f. a means for securing said leg to any foot to a fastened object in the immediate vicinity of the toilet, including the toilet itself,g. a means for adjustably securing said leg to said foot, adjustment affecting the height of the junction of said leg and said arm,h. a waste tube that connects to said receptacle's small end,i. a means for expelling liquid waste and water from the waste tube into a pre-existing waste-receiver,j. a valve,k. a means for connecting the pre-existing water-inlet of the toilet to said valve,l. a water-outlet tube that connects from said valve to the receptacle,m. and a means for dispersing water from said water-outlet tube to the interior surface of the receptacle,whereby the urinal can set unobtrusively in a non-operational position, set securely in an operational position, alter the overall height of the receptacle in the operational position without affecting its incline, channel waste and water to pre-existing drains, and use water to rinse waste from the waste-line. 2. The urinal of claim 1, wherein said valve is affected by the pivot of said arm; closing when the arm pivots to its non-operational, upright position and opening when the arm pivots to its operational position. 3. The urinal of claim 1, further including a means for lowering and releasing said arm at incremental angles. 4. The urinal of claim 1, further including a. a spring mounted to said leg,b. a means for the spring to cause the arm to pivot upward in the spring's kinetic state,c. a lever,d. a means for mounting said lever to the urinal,e. an obstruction that would prevent the spring from returning to its kinetic state when the arm is pulled down to its operational position,f. and a means for circumventing said obstruction by moving said lever. 5. The urinal of claim 4, further including a means for lowering and releasing said arm at incremental heights. 6. The urinal of claim 5, wherein said means for lowering and releasing said arm at incremental heights is influenced by said obstruction and said spring. 7. The urinal of claim 1, wherein said means for expelling waste is guided into the toilet bowl. 8. The urinal of claim 1, wherein said means for securing said foot is comprised of a means for fastening said leg to a pre-existing closet bolt and a means for fastening the foot to the toilet seat bolt. 9. The urinal of claim 1, wherein said means for expelling waste is guided to a pre-existing sewer line. 10. The urinal of claim 9, further including a base to be placed between the floor and the toilet, whereby providing access to the sewer line for said means for expelling waste. 11. The urinal of claim 10, further including a means for fastening said leg to said base. 12. The urinal of claim 1, further including a rim to be joined at the large end of the receptacle, whereby blocking water or waste from splashing out of said receptacle. 13. The urinal of claim 12, wherein said means for water dispersion comprises of water sprayers located inside the rim and aimed toward the small end of the receptacle. 14. The urinal of claim 12, wherein said means for water dispersion comprises of said rim being designed to receive, retain, and spread water along the interior surface of the receptacle. 15. The urinal of claim 1, further including a means for cushioning said arm when returning to its upright position, whereby preventing the urinal from damage, the urinal from shifting out of place, or water from splashing out of the receptacle.
