Definitions
- the invention relates to a urinal for male persons, which urinal comprises a tubular funnel member of foil material that is impermeable to liquid and in one end of which an aperture is to divert the urine by means of a tube, and the other end of which is provided with an elastic bushing to enclose penis tightly.
- Such urinals are especially used by incontinent male persons who have more or less difficulty in controlling the urination.
- the patient is provided with a funnel member, the drain tube of which can be led to a receptacle, which may be placed e.g. at the sickbed, or for walking cases at a suitable place on the patient's leg.
- a funnel member of this kind is known from the specification to Danish Patent No. 120.166, which comprises a tubular cuff, which can be fastened to penis by means of adhesive tape.
- This construction has, however, turned out to work unsatisfactorily, mainly because the tape cannot keep penis in the funnel member, when the patient moves so that the cuff slides completely or partly off. The urine can now run beside the cuff and out, causing great inconvenience to the patient physically as well as psychically.
- An object of the invention is to eliminate these disadvantages of the known urinals, and this is reached, when the funnel member is provided with a front piece that is impermeable to liquid, and mounted on the crutch part of a pair of pants in a way that penis can be led through the bushing into the funnel member.
- this has turned out to be a simple way, which is superior to all known constructions, to prevent urine from leaking out along penis, because the elasticity of the pants keeps the urinal safely in its place even if the patient moves violently.
- the possibility of adjusting the urinal individually to the patient's penis is achieved. This can take place by cutting off the end of the bushing so that the diameter of the opening increases. Besides it has proved appropriate that the proofing between the bushing and penis takes place here, which is more easily achieved here than at the root of penis. This bushing will also help to keep penis in the funnel member. Even if penis perhaps might be pulled completely out of the funnel member, the bushing will follow and keep the tight connection with the funnel member.
- the funnel member according to claim 4 When the funnel member according to claim 4 is provided with ribs a reservoir for urine is created in the funnel member to receive the urine before it has run completely out, just as the risk that the funnel member is squeezed flat and the urine is pressed out through the bushing is reduced.
- Fig. 1 is a perspective view of the urinal on a patient
- Fig. 2 is partly a sectional view of the urinal, seen from the side
- Fig. 3 is a sectional view of the embodiment with ribs on the funnel member.
- the urinal comprises a pair of pants 1 which preferably is made of a washable, suitably elastic cotton material which has been made into tight-fitting underpants.
- An opening 11 is in the pants, cmp. the sectional view through the front of the pants in Fig. 2.
- the opening is is placed on a level with penis.
- Above this opening and covering the crutch part of the pants a front 3 with a funnel member 2 as well as an inside bushing are sewed on.
- a hose connection 7 is formed upon which a hose can be placed, which hose leads to an accumulation bag for urine 8, cmp. Fig. 1. This can be placed on the thigh of the patient in a suitable way.
- the connection 7 is so suitably rigid that the hose can easily slide into its place round the connection.
- the connection and the hose may be provided with a co-operating union
- the funnel member 2 and the front 3 are moulded in one piece, preferably of natural rubber with a suitable elasticity and in a shape that clearly appears from the drawing.
- a bushing 9 is placed, cmp. Fig. 2.
- the bushing is made of moulded natural rubber, too, and in a way that it has one contact face against the pants and one against a bended pipe section, the diameter of which decreases towards the end 10. This makes it possible to cut off the end in order to adjust the bushing to the size of penis, so that a tight-fitting keeping of penis in the bushing can be achieved.
- the front 3 and the bushing 9 are fastened to the outside of the pants, as shown in the drawing by means of elastic thread, the edge of the front being fastened to the pants by a seam 5, and the front and the bushing being fastened to the pants by an inner seam 6.
- This fitting results partly in a suitable elasticity everywhere, and partly in a protection of the skin with exception of penis.
- a suitable number of small openings 4 so that the skin can be ventilated. Secretions of sweat can in this way evaporate.
- Fig. 3 another embodiment for the funnel member is shown, where it is provided with a spiral rib 12, which preferably is casted in the rubber. This supports and forms a recervoir for the urine.
- the funnel member may also be formed in a way to make channels either along or across between the inside of the funnel member and penis. Thus, a free passage for the urine to the connecter is secured, even if the funnel member may be squeezed.
- the urinal can be used during bathing of the patient, in a swimming pool, or under circumstances where there is no possibility for urinating, as e.g. in case of pilots and drivers on duty.

Abstract
Un urinal qui comprend une culotte (1), laquelle possede, a l'entre jambe, au moins partiellement un manchon se fermant autour du penis et fournissant un joint etanche aux liquides et partiellement un entonnoir (2) qui entoure le manchon (9) et qui est muni a sa partie ouverte d'un reservoir ainsi que d'un tuyau de drainage conduisant a un sac d'accumulation (8). Le manchon (9) peut etre ajuste a la taille du penis et maintenir celui-ci dans l'entonnoir (2). Ainsi un urinal complet etanche au liquide est assure, qui peut etre utilise sans etre trop serre et sans inconvenients d'aucune sorte de sa complete elasticite.
