Abstract

The appliance is shaped to fit the pilot while in the reclining control position in the cockpit. The appliance is vented at the bottom via a pumped duct which collects any urine and separates the urine from the airflow in a tank in the bottom of the aircraft. The appliance is sufficiently rigid to provide a secure fit without risk of injury. It is shaped to provide protection in a crash and is made of moulded plastic. The inlet air is via a top fitted duct.

Description

Bisherige Systeme sind für segelfliegende Frauen unbrauchbar, weil:Previous systems are unusable for women who are sailing because:

  • - sie zur Benutzung und Entsorgung die Schwerkraft benutzen,- they use gravity for use and disposal,
  • - sie in den weiblichen Körper zumindest teilweise eingeführt werden und dies durch das erhebliche Verletzungspotential bei heftigen Turbulenzen unakzeptabel und der Tragekomfort unbefriedigend ist,- they are at least partially introduced into the female body and this is due to the considerable injury potential in the event of violent turbulence is unacceptable and the wearing comfort is unsatisfactory,
  • - sie - selbst wenn die Benutzung nur oberflächlich erfolgt - keinen Prallschutz zum Schutz der Damen bei Durchflug von Turbulenzen aufweisen,- They - even if the use is only superficial - no impact protection to protect the ladies when there is turbulence,
  • - sie, wenn weiche Materialien verwendet werden, unter der auftretenden Belastung zwischen Körper und Sitzwanne kollabieren oder durch die Walkarbeit beschädigt werden können,- They, if soft materials are used, under the occurring Collapse or strain between body and seat pan Flexing work can be damaged,
  • - sie durch ihre Größe nicht in den vorhandenen Raum passen bzw. freien Zugang zum Körper verlangen.- Due to their size, they do not fit into the available space or are free Require access to the body.

Der im Patentanspruch 1 angegebenen Erfindung liegt das Problem zugrunde, einer Frau das Urinieren zu ermöglichen, während sie im Cockpit eines Segelflugzeuges sitzt.The invention specified in claim 1 is based on the problem Allow a woman to urinate while in the cockpit Glider sits.

Die zu erzielende Wirkung liegt darin, daß die Pilotin unbeschwert fliegen kann, im sicheren Vertrauen darauf, daß das Urinieren im Flug jederzeit zuverlässig, einfach, komfortabel und verletzungsfrei gewährleistet ist.The effect to be achieved is that the pilot can fly carefree in confidence that urinating in flight is reliable, easy, comfortable and injury-free is guaranteed.

Im Cockpit eines modernen Segelflugzeugs ist durch die halbliegende Körperhaltung das Gesäß der tiefste Punkt des Körpers. Die einzige bisher verwendete Lösung ist die Benutzung einer Inkontinenzwindel, da beim Urinieren der Urin erst am Körper entlang läuft bis zum tiefsten Punkt des Gesäßes (Fig. 1). Ein Wechseln der Windel im Flug ist nicht möglich, da Fallschirm- und Anschnallgurte die Bewegungsfreiheit stark einschränken. Das heißt, man kann nichts unter sich schieben und wieder hervorholen. Einzig austauschbar sind Damenbinden in gerade noch zugänglichen Genitalbereich. Alles in allem - aus Sicht der Hygiene und des Komforts - eine unbefriedigende Lösung. In the cockpit of a modern glider, the buttocks are the lowest point of the body due to the semi-lying posture. The only solution used so far is the use of an incontinence diaper, because when urinating the urine first runs along the body to the lowest point of the buttocks ( Fig. 1). Changing the diaper in flight is not possible because parachute and seat belts severely restrict freedom of movement. That means you can't push anything under you and bring it out again. The only replaceable are sanitary napkins in the genital area that is just accessible. All in all - from the point of view of hygiene and comfort - an unsatisfactory solution.

Die Urinal Maske muß als Lösung des Problems folgende Eigenschaften haben:To solve the problem, the urinal mask must have the following properties:

  • - Die Funktion muß erreicht werden durch einfaches Aufsetzen der Maske von außen. Jedes Einführen von Teilen birgt eine zu große Verletzungsgefahr beim Durchflug von Turbulenzen.- The function must be achieved by simply putting on the mask from Outside. Each time parts are inserted there is an excessive risk of injury when passing through turbulence.
  • - Die Maske muß so geformt und kompakt sein, daß sie im engen Raum zwischen den Beinen, Sitzwanne und Steuerknüppel bewegt werden kann.- The mask must be shaped and compact so that it is in a confined space can be moved between the legs, seat pan and joystick.
  • - Die Maske muß zuverlässig den Urin bei nahezu 100% Tropffreiheit absaugen.- The mask must reliably hold the urine with almost 100% freedom from dripping suck off.
  • - Die Maske muß eine große, glatte Kontaktfläche haben. Diese gewährleistet hohen Komfort beim Tragen, verteilt den Anpreßdruck und eventuelle Stöße durch Turbulenzen auf eine große Fläche und verhindert so jedes Verletzungsrisiko.- The mask must have a large, smooth contact surface. This ensures high comfort when wearing, distributes the contact pressure and any bumps due to turbulence on a large area, preventing everything Risk of injury.
  • - Die Maske darf durch den Sitzdruck der Pilotin gegen die Sitzwanne nicht kollabieren, um die Funktion zu gewährleisten.- The mask must not be pressed against the seat pan by the pilot's seat pressure collapse to ensure function.

Diese Eigenschaften werden mit den in den Patentansprüchen 1 und 2 aufgeführten Merkmalen erreicht.These properties are the same as in claims 1 and 2 characteristics listed achieved.

Die Urinalmaske wird von vorne zwischen die Beine auf die Vagina aufgesetzt (Fig. 2). Die Urinalöffnung liegt dabei über der Harnröhre und die Dichtfläche, die auch als Prallschutz bei Turbulenzen dient, schließt rundherum schon bei geringem Anpreßdruck dicht ab. Durch die Rippe wird die Öffnung positioniert. Gleichzeitig verhindert die Rippe, daß Urin zwischen Gewebe und Maske in Richtung Gesäß nach unten sickert und stellt sicher, daß alle Resttropfen in die Maske laufen. An der tiefsten Stelle der Maske wird nach Einschalten des Pumpenmotors permanent die Luft bzw. das Luft-Urin-Gemisch abgesaugt. Ermöglicht wird dies durch das Nachströmen der Luft durch die Nebenluftöffnung an erhöhter Stelle der Maske. Fixiert wird die Maske durch eine elastische Hose, der Anpreßdruck entsteht durch dem Druck des Unterleibs auf die Maske. Der Gegendruck auf die Maske kommt von der Sitzwanne. Damit die Maske unter dem Druck nicht kollabiert bzw. nicht durch die Walkarbeit beschädigt wird, muß die Maske hart sein. Im Tank wird der Urin von der Luft getrennt und dort für eine Entsorgung nach der Landung aufgefangen.The urinal mask is placed on the vagina between the legs from the front ( Fig. 2). The urinal opening is located above the urethra and the sealing surface, which also serves as impact protection in the event of turbulence, closes tightly all around even with a low contact pressure. The opening is positioned by the rib. At the same time, the rib prevents urine from seeping down between the tissue and mask towards the buttocks and ensures that all remaining drops run into the mask. At the lowest point of the mask, the air or air-urine mixture is permanently sucked off after the pump motor is switched on. This is made possible by the air flowing in through the secondary air opening at a higher point on the mask. The mask is held in place by elastic pants, the contact pressure is created by the pressure of the lower abdomen on the mask. The back pressure on the mask comes from the seat pan. In order for the mask not to collapse under pressure or to be damaged by the flexing work, the mask must be hard. The urine is separated from the air in the tank and collected there for disposal after landing.

Das Absaug- und Tanksystem besteht im wesentlichen aus einer Vakuumpumpe, die einen Vorratstank evakuiert. Der Unterdruck im Tank saugt mittels Schlauch die Maske ab. Dadurch wird verhindert, daß der Urin in die Pumpe gerät. Der Antrieb der Pumpe ist elektrisch. The suction and tank system essentially consists of a vacuum pump, which evacuates a storage tank. The vacuum in the tank sucks the Mask off. This prevents the urine from getting into the pump. The drive the pump is electric.
