Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a urinal for woman in a seated position comprising a receptacle presenting a chamber, a surface pierced by an opening through which the urine is brought into the receptacle and part serving as a guide and fulcrum for positioning urinal while in use.
  • Such a urinal is of the bottle type and includes a flat base wall, two side walls converging, and an opening communicating with the interior space defined for said walls.
  • This urinal has an elongated shape and the perimeter of the opening is concave.
  • This urinal which allows a constrained woman to lie in bed while lying down, urinating is unfit to be used by a woman in a sitting position, legs pending.
  • this known urinal is difficult to use by women with obesity or impotence, even if the latter is only minor.
  • This known urinal is therefore only suitable for slender and flexible women and therefore cannot be considered as universal.
  • this known urinal does not prevent all risk of splashing, or of ensuring correct positioning of the urinal when use.
  • Document GB-A-2166346 discloses a container or urinal with an opening and near its underside two side edges intended to serve as a guide and point of support. Such urinal is placed between the legs of a user. The legs should be against each other so the side edges are at least partially wedged between, on the one hand, the legs and, on the other hand, a medium on which the user is lying down.
  • the preamble of claim 1 is based on the state of the art according to this document.
  • Document GB-A-456,939 discloses a bed basin for lying down use, this basin being intended to receive both the salts and the urine.
  • This bed basin has a surface area very narrow to guide and serve as a fulcrum.
  • the guide part of the bed basin according to GB-A-456,939 is engaged between the top of the buttocks of the user and the bed, making it unusable while seated.
  • the guide part of the bedpan according to GB-A-456,939 does not have an edge arranged for follow the shape of the posterior sides of the legs or user's thighs and therefore does not allow ensure correct positioning of the pelvis in sitting.
  • the present invention relates to a urinal allowing a woman to urinate while seated without pain formation.
  • the urinal for women allowing it to urinate while sitting on a support has a surface pierced with an opening intended to form a passage for urine to a receptacle.
  • the urinal according to the invention has a part serving as a guide and fulcrum for positioning urinal while in use.
  • This urinal is characterized in that the part serving as a guide has two ear-shaped surfaces connected between them and located in front of the opening which is located in the front part on the upper surface of the receptacle, said buttress support surfaces so that seated position of the woman on a support, said part is engaged between the support and the buttocks of the woman, and in that the ear-shaped surfaces have side edges facing the opening which are curved, said edges serving to support a part of the back of the woman's thighs thus ensuring correct positioning of the urinal without pain formation.
  • the surface has a blister in the vicinity of at least at least part of the edge of said opening, said blister or lip as a means of positioning correct urinal, so said urinal is fit to be used by a woman to urinate in position sitting on a support without risk of splashing and pain formation when sitting.
  • said lip extends to the less along the edge portion of the opening adjacent to the part serving as guide and seal support.
  • the edges of the opening has a part folded towards the receptacle and forming an extension of the lip.
  • the receptacle extends from the free end of the part serving guide and fulcrum and has a bottom whose outer face forms a fulcrum.
  • the background extends at least partially in a plane inclined by relation to the tangent plane of the part serving as a guide.
  • the background consists of three parts, know a first part adjacent to the end free, a second part located under the opening (by adjacent example of the end of the bottom opposite to said free end), and an intermediate part extending between said first and second parts, this intermediate part forming a stop intended for touch a wall of the support so as to favor the holding the urinal in place during use.
  • a connecting member connects the part serving as a guide and fulcrum at the front presenting the opening, this member making it possible to change the position of the guide part by compared to the front part.
  • Such an organ can be a joint or a flexible element capable of retaining deformation, such as a lamella extending from the rear up to the front part, said strip having at least one deformable part.
  • Urinal 1 has a curved surface 2 presenting, in the vicinity of its center and in a curvature present on the surface, an opening 3 intended to form a passage for urine to 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 seated 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 obtain correct positioning of the urinal and a support point ensuring that a positioning is maintained correct urinal use.
  • This part 21 has two surfaces 100,101 in the shape of an ear and linked together on which support the buttocks of a user, an edge left side 102 and a right side edge 103. Said side edges have a curved shape and serve to support part of the rear side of a leg (upper part or thigh). Legs the user thus serve for the correct maintenance of urinal when in use, but also provide stability when using urinal.
  • curved side edges 102, 103 are located in the vicinity of opening 3, i.e. are away from the free end 213 of part 21. This part also serves as a reservoir and therefore increases the urinal capacity.
  • the front part 22 of the surface 2, that is to say the part located above the opening 3 forms a splash protection barrier.
  • the opening 3 is oval and presents at the vicinity of its adjacent edge of the rear part and from its lateral edges a blister 5 facilitating the correct positioning of the urinal. This lip allows limit or even avoid any risk of splashes and pain formation when seated.
  • the edges of the opening have a part 6 folded down, that is to say turned to move away from surface 2 by extending at least partially through opening 3. This part 6 forms an extension of the lip.
  • the urinal according to the invention can be combined to a receptacle, such as a bag, etc., with interposition a conduit, for example flexible.
  • opening 3 is provided in part 22.
  • the urinal includes a receptacle 7.
  • This receptacle 7 extends from the free end 213 of the rear part (guide) 21 and has a bottom 9, the outer face is intended to form a support during the use of urinal. In fact, this face is intended to rest on the support on which sits the user.
  • the receptacle 7 has a chamber 11 in which of the urine can enter through the opening 3.
  • This chamber is associated with a conduit 20 on which can be screwed a plug 40.
  • This conduit 20 after removing the plug 40 makes it possible to empty the chamber 11.
  • the bottom 9 extends at least partially in a plane 91 inclined with respect to the tangent plane 214 at the rear part 21.
  • the bottom part 9 adjacent to point 213 extends in such an inclined plane 91.
  • the inclination ⁇ between the plane 91 and the plane tangent 214 is between 3 and 15 °, and is in the represented case of approximately 8 °.
  • the bottom 9 is advantageously made up of 3 parts, namely a part 90 adjacent to the point extreme 213, a portion 92 located under the opening 3 and adjacent to the end 93 of the bottom 9 opposite the point extreme 213, and an intermediate portion 94 extending between parts 90 and 92.
  • This part 94 advantageously forms a stop intended to touch a wall, for lateral example, of the support on which sits the user. Such a stop further promotes retention or stability of the urinal during use, stop opposing for example pivoting urinal while in use.
  • Figure 5 shows a form of creation of a urinal similar to that shown in Figure 1.
  • es rear parts 21 and front 22 are interconnected by an articulation 216 allowing the angle ⁇ to be adjusted in the most appropriate way.
  • Figure 6 shows another form of realization of a device allowing to adjust the angle ⁇ .
  • flexible strips 50, 51 extend between the parts rear 21 and front 22.
  • These slats which are produced in a material capable of retaining deformation, that is to say capable of maintaining a determined angle ⁇ , are advantageously embedded in the material for example plastic (PVC, polyethylene, etc.) used for realization of parts 21 and 22.
