Description

The The invention relates to a device for the discharge of urine, the It should allow female persons to their needs standing upright. The device consists of one, always reusable, wide flexible plastic ring, By gentle pressure of the thighs of the shape of the pelvic floor individually adapted to the woman and in the one above and below more open, Funnel-shaped bag as a drain from a time delay in the water at least partially dissolving material of thin, elastic and recyclable, preferably biodegradable, wet-tensile material by means of a funnel inlet incorporated fold is mounted. A variant is, that the surface of the bag for urine discharge nanotechnical is treated so that the liquid via lotus effect over the surface is derived.

There especially public toilets often in one catastrophic hygienic condition, women often avoid direct physical contact with the toilet bowl, so they try to squat over the toilet to urinate what the hygienic condition, by the uncontrollable Scattering of the urine stream, due to the anatomical conditions the woman continues to deteriorate. In addition, you can the clothes and / or the environment of the toilet by urine spatter be soiled. Thus unconsciously becomes a multiplicity of disease germs distributed and transmitted.

known.

Indeed These devices are one-piece and must be used before use For example, be folded by folding in a form that the Derivation of urine in a female person allows. in this connection The urine is caught in a kind of gutter and by the body diverted. For this, the devices need a certain stability and moisture resistance so as not to prematurely penetrate. Due to this stability and moisture resistance However, problems arise in the disposal of the used devices. Furthermore, a female person can not be expected that it unfolds a device used by urinating again, to dispose of them. Thus, the entire device in his used form disposed as a tube or funnel. For this Exclusively the hygiene bucket in the ladies' room Available at the size of such a Device very quickly exceeds its capacity. This leads to the uncontrolled storage of used ones Urine discharge to another pollution problem in a public Ladies room. In addition, the usually stiff devices by their given length, due to the safe Derive the urine, a dimension that preserves in one small lady's handbag, or a similar container, almost impossible. Thus, a necessary discretion is included Women who go to a toilet and use such a device have to lead, not given, what the lack of Acceptance of these urine discharge leads to female persons. Of Further, the inlet openings of the known devices adapted only very conditionally to the female anatomy of the pelvic floor, which in case of uncertain handling not in every case the interception of the guaranteed total urine. As a result, the urine is outside running along the device, resulting in heavy pollution the clothing of the female person standing up,

There female persons in our culture very early to be educated and become, exclusively sitting down or to urinate squatting, it must succeed in giving the women so much confidence to give a device for urinating while standing, that they are Take the form of urination without problems. Only if possible Many women are convinced that they control the urine stream and can deliver purposefully while standing, the hygienic Problem contained in public ladies' toilets become. This is a familiar, ergonomic form and a safe and uncomplicated handling of such a device a necessary condition.

task The invention is a device of the type described above To create a way of making the urine stream possible to take control of a standing female person without that the person on the lower body completely undressing and respecting ecological considerations and to derive hygienic conditions in a targeted manner. This is the female person with her front facing in front of Toilet bowl. The parts of this device must be for Storage and transportation should be so small that they are discreet every lady's handbag or similar containers fit to allow a constant carry. The shape of this device must be so pronounced that a female person convinced of the safe use of such a urine drainage tube is and can handle these easily.

According to the invention it is provided that the Urinableiter is designed in several parts, with a, in the shape of the female pelvic floor adapted, and repeatedly usable, semi-elastic ring forms the core in which a funnel-shaped, up and down open, specially designed as a urine catcher and -ableiter bag as disposables made of thin, elastic and recyclable, preferably biodegradable, wet-tensile material, such as biodegradable plastic or similar materials is mounted by means of a fold on the upper hopper edge. In one variant, the surface of the bag is treated nanotechnology, so that the liquid is derived from the surface by means of lotus effect. This type of urine drainage has the advantage that it is easy to clean with clear water and thus hygienic without hesitation reusable. Thus eliminating disposal of the bag in the toilet on site, which contributes to the reduction of the amount of waste. The ring is formed by two plastic tubes, which are assembled by means of two connectors only in the application circular. In one variant, the plastic tubes are already connected via two in one direction - up - hinged hinges. This device is stored folded. In the application, the half-rings formed by the tubes are unfolded outwards, so that a stable ring is formed, which adapts to the anatomical shape of the pelvic floor by slight pressure.

at the urinating process, the female person can the bag for Urinableitung problem-free and hygienic without hesitation at the upper edge by hand lead and thus give the urine specifically in the toilet. Targeted collection of urine in a funnel-shaped Container and the controlled process by one Tapered down tapered opening even with different pressure levels of the individual urination phases expect a pressureless and constant drain, so no urine spatter to contaminate the clothes or the toilet environment.

To After use, the bag becomes urine drain by simple pull down from the ring and released as a disposable item preferably in the hygiene bin, which is located in every ladies' room, disposed of. Urine discharge from dissolving in the water and Biodegradable material can be transferred directly over the toilets are disposed of. Nanotechnological, surface-treated Arresters can easily be cleaned with clear water and used hygienically without hesitation. The ring will in the first variant by simply pulling apart the connector solved and the items can be discreet and be stowed comfortably. In the second variant, the ring over the Hinges hinged to make it comfortable in a small container to stow.

The Invention is based on an embodiment in the attached drawing and will be closer described; it shows:

In the 1 Urine drainage device shown consists essentially of a flexible, the anatomy of the pelvic floor of the woman adapted ring ( 10 ) and a funnel-shaped, top - inlet ( 16 ) and below - outlet ( 17 ) open bag ( 15 ), which by means of an applied fold ( 18 ) is hung in the ring. The ring ( 10 ) by plugging the two plastic tubes ( 11 . 12 ) by means of plug connections ( 13 and 14 ) is formed immediately before the application of the device for urine diversion. In the illustration, with ( 19 ) directed by the female person forward and with ( 20 ) marked the rearward side of the drain bag. With ( 19a ), formed by press-bonding edge serves for purposeful guidance of the bag for controlled urine flow into the toilet bowl.

The 2 represents a side view of the plastic tube ( 11 . 12 ). This elastic tube can be both hollow and at both ends ( 11a , Federation 12a , b) open, or hollow and closed at both ends, as well as solid made of plastic and thus be closed at both ends. The better flexibility and lighter weight give preference to a hollow, elastic plastic tube, which at both ends ( 11a , Federation 12a , b) is closed to prevent possible contamination within the tube.

In 3 the plug connection ( 13 . 14 ). It consists of two with a rigid one and angled center piece ( 13a . 14a ) connected sleeves ( 13b , c and 14b , c), which are tailored to the size of the plastic tubes and into which these tubes can be inserted.

Due to the slight vacuum and the cohesive force sufficient durability of this connector ( 13 . 14 ).

The 4 represents the side view of the ring dar. Here is once again clear how the two plastic tubes ( 11 and 12 ) with the connectors ( 13 and 14 ) form a ring. Due to the rigid, bent connecting pieces ( 13a and 14a ), the bending of which when applied downwards and thus the sleeves pointing upwards and the inserted into the sleeves, elastic plastic tubes, this ring adapts to the anatomical conditions of the female pelvic floor. To ensure the correct placement of the connectors ( 13 . 14 ) To ensure better in the use, a plug connection can be firmly applied to a plastic tube during manufacture, for example 13b on 11 and 14b on 12 ,

5 shows the top view of the ring with plastic tubes ( 11 and 12 ) and plug connection ( 13 and 14 ). With the dashed form ( 21 ) shows the deformation of the ring in the application, with the ring being placed in the pubic area in the bend from the inner thigh to the pelvis. Due to the slight pressure of the thighs, the ring deforms laterally inwards, forwards and upwards ( 21a ) and backwards and upwards ( 21b ) and thus adapts to the anatomical conditions of the female pelvic floor.

6 : The funnel-shaped, top ( 16 ) and below ( 17 ) open bags ( 15 ) for urine diversion consists of very thin, but largely tear-resistant, elastic and recyclable one-piece material. At the upper opening is a fold ( 18 ), which makes it possible to easily insert the urine discharge device into the ring ( 4 . 5 ). To facilitate hooking, the bag has been worked straight up a piece, that is, the edges 19 and 20a run parallel first. Only then is the rear part of the bag bevelled ( 20 ) and the drain opening ( 17 ), which extends below the front area ( 19 ) is located. The drain opening ( 17 ) is bevelled from back to front to drain the urine safely into the toilet bowl. With the help of the press-bonding applied, two-ply, forward edge ( 19a ), the female person can guide the bag for urine discharge purposefully.

7 : Plug-in connection via the hinge ( 22 ) is foldable upwards, so that the device with the half-rings of the plastic tube is conveniently stowed away. When opened, the device locks at a slight angle upwards ( 23 ).
