• the urine for women allowing the latter to urinate while seated on a support has a surface pierced with an opening intended to form a passage for urine towards a receptacle.
• Said surface advantageously has a curvature intended to follow the shapes of the woman and the rear part of which is intended to be slid between the legs of the woman so as to be housed at least partially between the buttocks of the woman and the support, this part rear forming a guide for positioning the urinal and a fulcrum ensuring correct positioning of the urinal when in use.
• this part forms a receptacle or receptacle part intended for receive urine.
• said surface has a front part situated above said opening, when said device is used, said front part forming a protective barrier against splashes.
• the urinal according to the invention is essentially characterized in that the part serving as a guide forms at least one support for part of the buttocks of the woman and in that said part has an edge arranged so as to conform to the shape of '' a part of the posterior sides of the legs, of thigh preferences of the woman, so that in the seated position of the woman on a support, the part is engaged between the support and the buttocks of the woman, part of the posterior faces upper parts of the leg or thighs then bearing on an edge of said part thus ensuring correct positioning of the urinal without pain formation.
• the edge arranged so as to conform to the shape of the upper parts of the rear faces of the legs or thighs has a left lateral edge and a right lateral edge of said part serving as a guide, said left and right lateral edges having a curved shape.
• the part serving as a guide has two ear-shaped surfaces connected to each other, said surfaces serving to support the buttocks, while their lateral edges facing the opening serve to support the upper parts of the posterior faces of the woman's legs or thighs.
• the surface has a blister in the vicinity of at least part of the edge of said opening, said blister or lip serving as positioning means. correct urinai, so that said urinai is suitable for use by a woman to urinate while seated on a support without risk of splashing and formation of pain when seated.
• said lip extends at least along the portion of the edge of the adjacent opening of the portion serving as a guide and support seal.
• the edges of the opening have a part folded towards the receptacle and forming an extension of the lip.
• the receptacle extends from the free end of the part serving as a guide and fulcrum and has a bottom, the outer face of which forms a fulcrum.
• the bottom extends at least partially in a plane inclined relative to the tangent plane of the part serving as a guide.
• the bottom consists of three parts, namely a first part adjacent to the free end, a second part located under the opening (for example adjacent to the end of the opposite bottom at said free end), and an intermediate part extending between said first and second parts, this intermediate part forming a stop intended to touch a wall of the support so as to favor the retention in place of the urinal during its use.
• a connecting member connects the part serving as a guide and fulcrum to the front part having the opening, this member making it possible to modify the position of the part serving as a guide compared to the front part.
• Such an organ can be a joint or a flexible element capable of retaining deformation, such as a strip extending from the rear part to the front part, said strip having at least one deformable part.
• Figure 1 is a top view of a urinal according to one invention
• Figure 2 is a view along line II-II of the urinal shown in Figure 1
• Figure 3 is a sectional view along line III-III of the urinal shown in Figure 2
• Figure 4 is a front view of the urinal
• Figures 5 and 6 are views similar to those shown in Figure 1 of two embodiments of a urinal according to the invention.
• the urinal 1 has a curved surface 2 having, in the vicinity of its center and in a curvature presented by the surface, an opening 3 intended to form a passage for urine towards a receptacle 7.
• the rear part 21 of the surface 2 that is to say the part located below said opening 3, is intended to be slid between the legs of a user in a sitting position on a support so that this part 21 is housed at least partially between the user's buttocks and the support.
• This part 21 thus forms a guide for a correct positioning of the urinal and ensuring a fulcrum to maintain proper positioning of the urinal during use.
• This part 21 has two surfaces 100,101 in the form of an ear and interconnected on which the buttocks of a user bear, a left lateral edge 102 and a right lateral edge 103. Said lateral edges have a curved shape and serve to support part of the face hind leg
• the legs of the user thus serve to correctly maintain the urinal during its use, but also provide stability when using the urinal.
• These curved side edges 102, 103 are located in the vicinity of the opening 3, that is to say are distant from the free end 213 of the part 21.
• This part also serves as a reservoir and therefore increases the capacity of the urinal. .
• the front part 22 of the surface 2, that is to say the part located above the opening 3 forms a protective barrier against splashes.
• the opening 3 is oval and has, in the vicinity of its adjacent edge of the rear part and of its lateral edges, a blister 5 facilitating the correct positioning of the urinal.
• This lip makes it possible to limit or even avoid any risk of splashing and the formation of pain when seated.
• the edges of the opening have a part
• the urinal according to the invention can be associated with a receptacle, such as a bag, etc., with the interposition of a conduit, for example flexible.
• the opening 3 is provided in the part 22.
