Urine bottle Description

The invention relates to a urinal bottle for facilitating urination in bedridden male persons, with a bottle body having a bottle back which merges integrally into a bottle neck, and with a closable bottle opening.

Bedridden people, especially men, often use a urinal bottle, a so-called duck, to urinate. The field of vision of a bedridden person is very limited, as is often their eyesight, as they are usually older people. It is often difficult for these people to find the urinal bottle. Urination affects an intimate area that the bedridden person would usually like to manage alone and without help from others.

The object of the present invention is to create a urinal bottle of the type described above which can be easily found even in conditions of limited visibility and eyesight.

The problem is solved by providing the bottle neck with a neck marking and the bottle back with a back marking. In order to facilitate easy finding in poor lighting conditions, especially at night, it is provided that the neck marking and a first back marking have a light color, while a second back marking has a signal color. Furthermore, it can be provided that the neck marking and the back markings are fluorescent.

These measures create a urine bottle that can be easily located and then handled, without the need for assistance or nursing staff.

Further advantageous measures are described in the subclaims. The invention is shown in the accompanying drawing and is described in more detail below.

The urine bottle 10 shown schematically in side view in the single figure consists essentially of a bottle body 11, which is provided with a one-piece bottle neck 12. The bottle neck

12 has a bottle opening 13 which can be closed with a lid 14.

To prevent loss, the lid 14 is secured to the bottle neck 12 with a lid holder 15. The lid holder 15 can be flexible in order to fix the lid 14 onto the bottle opening.

13 to be able to move.

To facilitate the finding and recognition of the urine bottle 10, the bottle neck 12 is provided with a neck

marking 16. The neck marking 16 is usually in a light color. So that the user knows which way is up and which way is down, the back 17 of the urinal bottle 10 is also provided with a light, first back marking 20.

The bottle body 11 has a bottle base 18 opposite the bottle neck 12 and a base contact surface 19 opposite the bottle back 17. In the lying position on the base contact surface 19, the bottle back 17 is at the top and together with the bottle neck 12 forms a uniform, coherent, bright marking.

To make it easier to find them at night, the back marking 20 and the neck marking 16 are made of a fluorescent dye/ which can be recognized even in poor or no lighting conditions.

To make it easier to find the urine bottle 10 during the day, a second back marking 21, which is preferably in a signal color, is provided around the first, light back marking 20. The signal-colored back marking 21 extends down to the side areas 22 of the bottle body.

The urine bottle 10 can therefore also be recognized from the side and distinguished from above and below. The second, signal-colored back marking 21 can also be fluorescent.
