Description

“MALEABLE DEVICE FOR URINE COLLECTION SYSTEM, WITH SAFETY LACRES, REUTIUIZED” [001] This descriptive report refers to an invention patent application for a silicone, rubber or malleable latex urine collector, basically composed through a mouthpiece equipped with an innovative anatomical seal, extending a tubular neck also fitted with a seal to a spherical shaped reservoir, the latter being linked to a packaging made of silicone, rubber or malleable latex, with a ziplock closure that keeps, preserves and hides the entire body of the urine collector, resulting in a product of remarkable functionality and discretion. [002] Its malleable mouthpiece allows a perfect involvement with the user's pelvic region so that the collection of urine is done hygienically, without spillage, being directed by the tubular neck directly to the spherical reservoir. The neck and mouthpiece seals work together for a correct seal, preventing leaks, contamination of the collected material and contact of the urine with the user.

STATE OF THE TECHNIQUE [003] As is well known, products for conducting urine collection are available on the market in a variety of ways. As an example, the collector of the type of parrot's beak, made of rigid PVC, formed by a circular nozzle with a lid converging on an elongated neck that extends to a “vessel” type reservoir. Thus, the user when collecting the urine removes its cap and positions the genitalia or pelvic region as best as it can in order to direct the urine through the mouth of the collector, going beyond its neck until reaching and accumulating in the reservoir. At the end of this step, the urine is immediately discarded, as the collector does not contain a sealing cap for the collected liquid.

2/6 [004] Other examples of collectors found on the market are the configuration of a plastic bag, with a mouthpiece with adhesive tapes for adhesion in the user's pelvic or genital area, in addition to the cup-style collector with a lid.

[005] The main problems of the aforementioned collectors are discomfort and the difficulty of carrying out the collection in a properly hygienic manner. The parrot beak collector, for example, because it is made of rigid material, does not contemplate the user's anatomy, causing discomfort due to the difficulty in the correct positioning (or fitting) of the genital organ in its round mouthpiece, as well as the need for immediate stripping due to absence lid / seal, causing leakage of urine during handling. So it is with the “cup with lid” collector. As it is a container with a simple cup shape of translucent material, without its own neck or reservoir, there is a risk of leakage of urine, as well as exposure to the naked eye of the collected liquid, which generates discomfort and embarrassment, being this the main object of complaint by users. The “bag” type collector with a nozzle provided with adhesives, on the other hand, does not allow cleaning, being a single use product with direct application, which can cause irritation to the user's skin due to the strong adhesion of its glue, especially to those more sensitive to chemical compounds.

PATENT OBJECTIVE [006] Precisely to avoid any possibility of contact of the user with urine and still provide comfortable use and hygiene from a discreet product, which remains in a configuration far from the visual characteristics of a common urine collector, it was the malleable collector was developed for this patent application.

5/6 embarrassment of carrying such a product because it distances itself from standard features, being able to transport and / or store the product anywhere, with tranquility and discretion.

[019] For use, as shown in figure 2, the user will open the zipper (2) type by its free edge (3). Then pull the tabs (7a) or contact face (8) of the collector (C) until the nozzle (7) and its tubular neck (5) are exposed, as shown in figure 3.

[020] In this way, the user will direct the mouthpiece (7) towards his genital organ, as shown in figure 4, so that the contact face (8) faces the entire pelvic or genital region. Thanks to its malleability, this contact face (8), shown in detail C, can be pressed and adjusted by the user's hands in order to perfectly wrap the pelvic region with its absorbent (9), in a comfortable and hygienic way, as shown detail D. Therefore, when urinating, the collector (C) ensures a perfect seal so that the urine (U) does not leak out of the nozzle (7), flowing internally and integrally through the tubular neck (5) to the reservoir spherical (4). Here, the versatility of the product is explicit, which can be used with the same ease and comfort by both male and female users, as shown in figure 5, in any position it is, whether standing, sitting or even lying down.

[021] As shown in the sequence in figure 6, as the urine (U) fills the reservoir (4), it expands gradually, so as to contain an expressive amount of urine (U), its expansion accompanied by the natural deformation of the urine. packaging (1) when having its internal walls “opening”, pressed by the spherical reservoir (4) being filled.

[022] After the collection is completed, the user closes, by pressing his fingers, the inner seal (6) male and female of the neck (5) of the
