Definitions
- the present invention relates to a urination aid for female persons according to the preamble of the independent patent claim, which urination aid allows female persons to urinate in a standing position when there are no toilets or when for other reasons, for example hygienic reasons Urination in a sitting position is not desired. Women often avoid such toilets for hygienic reasons, which is very unhealthy and uncomfortable. In addition, women often wish, e.g. when exercising to urinate in a standing position.
- a urination aid is known from publication GB-1524838, which consists of a collecting trough and a pouring pipe connected to the collecting trough.
- the urination aid allows you to urinate standing, but not in a discreet position.
- the described, ready-to-use embodiment is complex to manufacture and too bulky to use , 9.
- Carrying and the described, flat-folded embodiment must be brought into a ready-to-use shape with a number of hand movements, which shape is more like a conical tube and is therefore not ideal.
- the publication EP-0594253 describes a urination aid which has the shape of a tapered tube with a collecting opening at the further end of the tube which is oriented obliquely to the tube axis and which can be carried easily in the flat-folded state.
- the urination device can only be used with items of clothing with appropriately equipped openings.
- the urination aid according to publication GB-2002629 also essentially has a tubular shape and must be inserted into the vagina.
- the relatively hard urination aid has the disadvantage that it comes into contact with the neighboring skin regions, which can lead to soiling, irritation or infections.
- urination aids require a long learning phase in order to be used correctly.
- the present invention has set itself the task of creating a urination aid that is simple and safe to use, that is just as easy to bring from a flat transport form in which it is carried into a form of use and that is also simple and inexpensive can be produced.
- the urination aid should enable women to urinate on toilets or in a standing position in a practical, uncomplicated, simple, yet safe manner.
- the urination aid should be easy to store and dispose of.
- the urination aid according to the invention consists of two mutually positioned and interconnected blanks of a flat material, such as paper or plastic film, and has a collecting trough with a large collecting opening and a pouring pipe that adjoins the collecting trough and tapers against a small pouring opening.
- a flat material such as paper or plastic film
- the flat Transpo ⁇ form the urination aid is little affected by the size of the drip pan, which can therefore be easily designed for a collection volume in which a relatively large amount of urine (at least 0.6 dl) can easily build up.
- the collecting tray of the urination aid is between its legs in its flat shape. Then, by pressing on the edges of the flat pouring pipe, the urination aid is brought into its use form, the collecting opening opening and the collecting pan and pouring pipe having a spatial shape accept. The collecting opening is then guided against the body, whereby it encompasses the pubic area and is ready for urination in this shape and position.
- the main advantage of the urination aid according to the invention is that it is inserted in its flat state and therefore discreetly and is only opened between the legs by the pressure on the pouring spout. In other words, manipulation before use is completely eliminated.
- the urination aid according to the invention also differs from known urination aids in that it can be easily produced using known folding, punching and connecting techniques.
- Figure 1 shows a first exemplary embodiment of the urination aid according to the invention in its flat Transpo ⁇ form
- FIG. 2 the urination aid according to FIG. 1 in the use form as a side view
- FIG. 3 shows the urination aid according to Figures 1 and 2 as a top view of the form of use
- FIG. 4 shows a layout of blanks for the production of urination aids according to FIGS. 1 to 3;
- Figure 5 shows a second exemplary embodiment of the urination aid according to the invention in its flat Transpo ⁇ fo ⁇ n;
- FIG. 6 shows a band of urination aids according to FIG. 5.
- FIG. 1 shows a first embodiment of the urination aid according to the invention in its flat Transpo ⁇ form.
- the urination aid consists of two blanks (only one visible) of a flat material positioned on top of one another, which are essentially identical in shape. They have a convex base edge 10 and a concave cover edge 13, along which the two blanks are connected to one another.
- the edge 11 of the collecting opening connects at an acute angle and ends approximately at a right angle in the cover edge 13.
- the edge 12 of the pouring opening connects to the base edge 10, whereby the opening edges 11 and 12 of the two blanks are not connected to one another.
- the cut parts between base edge 10 and collecting opening edge 11 together form the tapered collecting trough 14.
- the pouring pipe 15 connects, which is from the cut parts between the base edge 10 and concave cover edge 13 is formed.
- the part 13.2 of the cover edge 13 facing the collecting opening edge 11 stands steeply on the collecting opening edge 11 and delimits the collecting opening.
- the two blanks are connected to one another via a folding edge to form a double blank, which folding edge represents the part 10.1 of the base edge on the spout side.
- This edge part 10.1 runs in a straight line.
- the blanks are connected to one another by folded-over edge areas 16 of one blank around the edge of the other blank, which folded edge areas 16 glue, for example, to the other blank , pressed or welded.
- edge regions connected to one another are rectilinear, that is to say that the catch-side part 10.2 of the base edge 10 consists of one or more rectilinear pieces and that the cover edge 13 consists, for example, of two rectilinear parts 13.1 and 13.2.
- the collecting opening edge 11 advantageously has a convexly curved end regions 11.1 at the tapering end of the collecting trough 14, as a result of which the collecting opening becomes rounder when opened.
- the collecting opening edge 11 can also be rolled up or folded over.
- the pouring pipe 15 tapers from its connection to the collecting trough 14 to the pouring opening, for example in a ratio of 2: 1, which increases the outflow rate and prevents dripping even with small amounts of urine.
- the pouring angle ⁇ between the collecting opening edge 11 and the pouring-side part 10.2 of the base edge 10 is to be kept as pointed as possible (for example 5 to 10 °). This enables a very discreet position when urinating.
- a whole series of different papers or plastic films are suitable as materials for the urination aid according to the invention.
- Trials and tests with paper coated with silicon or silicon oxide have shown very good results.
- the surface of such papers is not wetted and prevents the fingers from getting wet.
- Tests have also shown that papers with a compacted surface are sufficient to be moisture-resistant for the extremely short time for which it is necessary.
- urination aids are particularly suitable for the production of urination aids according to FIG. 1, that is to say in particular folding and adhesive or pressing or welding techniques.
- the completely glued urination aids can be folded one or more times, for example essentially perpendicular to the edge of the collecting opening 11.
- FIG. 2 shows a side view of the urination aid according to FIG. 1 in its use form, into which it is brought out of its flat shape by pressure (arrows P) on both edges of the pouring pipe 15 in the region of its mouth into the collecting trough 14.
- the pressure P can can be comfortably exercised on the urination aid with two fingers.
- the two blanks separate from one another, the collecting opening 11 'and the pouring opening 12' open, and the collecting trough 14 and pouring pipe 15 have an internal volume.
- FIG. 3 shows a top view and in use form of the urination aid according to FIG. 1.
- Figure 4 shows unfolded double blanks for the production of urination aids, as shown in Figures 1 to 3. It can be seen from the illustration that the blanks can be punched out of a paper web simply and with little waste. The necessary fold lines are drawn in dash-dotted lines.
- FIG. 5 shows a second, exemplary embodiment of the urination aid according to the invention, again in its flat transpo form, the same parts being designated with the same reference numbers.
- This embodiment differs from the embodiment according to FIGS. 1 to 4 in that it is produced from two separate blanks and in that the cut edges are connected to one another by suitable pressing methods or adhesive methods without folds, such that the seams are not flat, but rather are up. This makes it possible to form the convex base edge 10 and / or the concave top edge 13 as curves.
- FIG. 6 shows a band of urination aids according to FIG. 5, which can be produced from a double paper or plastic band 20 by punching with simultaneous pressing or welding to form the edge connections. It is easily possible to only partially separate the individual urination aids at points 21 and 22 by perforations and to bring them onto the market as a rolled-up tape from which a urination aid is then separated in use.
