Description

Portable urinal {PORTABLE URINE APPARATUS}

The present invention relates to a portable urinal, and more specifically, to a portable urinal that allows people with limited mobility, such as the general public, the disabled, seriously ill patients, or surgical patients, to easily dispose of urine by themselves.

In general, patients with spine or fractures have difficulty moving, so they have to relieve themselves while lying on the bed. Conventionally, the method of inserting a tube into the urethra of the patient's penis is mainly used to discharge urine from male patients. However, this method is mainly used to discharge urine. There were several problems, such as exposure to urethral infections, which caused cystitis, and the need for toilet training after a certain period of time.

In particular, most critically ill patients who suffer from disabilities such as general paralysis and stroke are unable to tell whether urine is coming out due to their dulled nerve senses, and even when they do, they are unable to control it, so the urine is excreted to the outside, creating an unclean hygienic environment. .

In addition, these patients have a weakened immune system and delicate skin, so there is a problem of damaging the soft inner skin when holding a hard urine collection cup.

Also, when disabled people go out for picnics, etc., especially when using wheelchairs, there is a lack of facilities to dispose of urine, and even if the facilities are located nearby, it is very difficult to dispose of urine comfortably. As a result, it was difficult to go out with three or four diapers on.

In addition, even for non-disabled people, it is a big problem for the person concerned if there is an urgent need to urinate while moving in a car and there is no toilet nearby or it takes a long time to get there.

Also, in outdoor activities such as hiking or mountain climbing, there was a problem that it was difficult to handle it hygienically easily even when there was an urgent need to urinate in a situation where there was no toilet.

This problem is a serious problem for people with frequent urination, who need to urinate at short intervals, and this is a problem that causes them to hesitate to go out for picnics, etc.

1. Registered Patent No. 10-1853271 (registration date: April 24, 2018) “Portable urinal” 2. Registered Patent No. 10-1747186 (registration date: June 8, 2017) “Portable urinal”

The object of the present invention is to solve the problems of the prior art as described above, and its purpose is to provide a portable urinal that allows disabled people to dispose of urine on their own.

In addition, the object is to provide a portable urinal in which the urine receiving part, which is the part that receives urine, can be adsorbed to the skin surface to prevent urine from flowing out.

In addition, a hydrophilic coating layer can be formed on the inner surface of the urine receiver to prevent residual urine from remaining in the urine receiver, and the purpose is to provide a portable urinal that is hygienic and aesthetically stable by covering it with a cover.

The above problem is, according to the present invention, in a portable urinal, a urine receiving portion formed to receive urine in contact with the human body; A storage unit where urine is stored; And, a tube connecting the urine receiving part and the storage part; This can be achieved by a portable urinal including a.

Here, the urine receiver may be made of an elastic material, and may be pressed to reduce the internal space by an external force while in contact with the human body, and then adsorbed to the human body when released.

In addition, a pressure control hole may be formed in the urine receiving portion of a size that allows air to pass through, but does not allow liquid to pass through.

Additionally, wrinkles may be formed along the length of the urine receiver.

Additionally, an openable cover may be further formed on the portion of the urine receiver that comes into contact with the human body.

Additionally, a hydrophilic coating layer may be formed on the inner surface of the urine receiver.

The urine receiver may include a connection hole having a smaller diameter than the tube and to which the tube is connected, and a stopper formed around the connection hole to prevent the tube from flowing back into the urine receiver. there is.

According to the present invention, a portable urinal is provided that allows a disabled person to hygienically dispose of urine by himself.

In addition, a portable urinal is provided in which the urine receiver, which is the part that receives urine, can be adsorbed to the skin surface to prevent urine from flowing out.

In addition, a hydrophilic coating layer can be formed on the inner surface of the urine receiver to prevent residual urine from remaining in the urine receiver, and by covering it with a cover, a portable urinal that is hygienic and aesthetically stable is provided.

In addition, the tube connecting the urine receiver and the storage part for storing urine is formed to have a certain length, so that the reservoir can be placed on the floor or in a designated area when urinating, allowing the user to focus on urinating. is provided.

Figure 2 is a perspective view of the urine receiver of Figure 1;
Figure 3 is a cross-sectional view taken along line A-A' of Figure 2;
Figure 4 is a folded state diagram of the urine receiver;
Figure 5 is a diagram showing the use state of the portable urinal according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

You can.

The storage unit 40 is made of a material such as vinyl and is configured to store urine. One side is connected to and communicates with a tube 20, and the other side has an outlet 41.

The above-described tightening member 30 is installed in the outlet 41, so that urine can be discharged downward by placing the tightening member 30 in the unfastened position.

Additionally, a fastening member 42, such as a string, is coupled to the storage unit 40. The storage unit 40 can be fixed by fastening to a predetermined portion through the fastening member 42.

Figure 5 is a diagram showing the use state of the portable urinal according to the first embodiment of the present invention. Referring to Figure 5, the user applies an external force so that the internal space of the urine receiver becomes smaller and causes the urine receiver 10 to be adsorbed to the surrounding area including the user's genitals. At this time, the tightening member 30 is located at the tightening release portion 31a.

The user's urine moves to the storage part 40 along the tube 20 with a certain amount accumulated in the urine receiving part 10. At this time, the internal and external pressure is constantly adjusted by the pressure control hole, so the urine flows into the tube 20. It is possible to move smoothly to the storage unit 40 along .

After urine discharge is completed, the user removes the urine receiver 10 from his or her body, positions the tightening member 30 at the tightening part 31b to block the backflow of urine, and then removes the urine receiver 10 from the urine receiver 10. Urine treatment can be completed by covering the cover 12.

In the above manner, the user can treat urine completely hygienically by simply adsorbing and de-adsorbing it.

When disabled people with disabilities use the portable urinal according to the present invention, they can at least avoid exposing their guardians to urination situations. In addition, even if you dispose of urine by yourself, you can handle urination hygienically as the urine does not stick to your clothes or other parts of your body.

Meanwhile, the storage unit 40 can be formed in a circular, oval, star, or predetermined character shape to increase intimacy with the user.

In addition, the storage unit 40 is made opaque so that the inside is not visible, so that the user's attention from others can be reduced even after urine is stored, thereby promoting the user's psychological stability.

In addition, when a patient or a disabled person goes out, the storage unit 40 is coupled to the thigh or calf, etc. through the fastening member 42, and the urine receiver 10 is placed in a pocket. At the same time as it becomes difficult to recognize, it can provide psychological stability by knowing that urine can be disposed of anytime, anywhere.

The scope of the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, but may be implemented in various forms of embodiments within the scope of the appended claims. It is considered to be within the scope of the claims of the present invention to the extent that anyone skilled in the art can make modifications without departing from the gist of the invention as claimed in the claims.
