Definitions

  • the present specification relates to a health care related urinal of a pulp material and a method of manufacturing a health care urinal in a pulp material.
  • a health care urinal or urinal bottle means a portable urinal intended to be used in the health, nursing care sector such as hospitals, nursing homes or at home, or by individuals with special needs outside facility care.
  • the health care urinal may be used by disabled, immobile patients restricted to a bed, wheelchair or similar, or it may be used for taken urine samples from a patient.
  • Urinals are also used for secondary purposes e.g. nursing staff emptying urine catheter drainage bags, and other types of bodily fluid which needs collected, stored or transported.
  • Disposable health care urinals are typically made from a moulded pulp material (pulp urinals).
  • a pulp urinal is suitable for being disposed in a macerator - due to the softness of the pulp material, the macerator is able to shred or grind the pulp urinal into smaller pieces before entering a sewage system.
  • Used urinals like e.g. incontinence wear (diapers), can also be placed in other waste handlings systems e.g. common place waste bags.
  • Urine may be collected in the pulp urinal during a time span of up to four hours, but in some cases longer periods such as 12 to 24 hours, before the walls (especially the bottom wall) of the pulp urinal begins to dissolve due to the liquid contained in the pulp urinal, subject to factors relating to urinal design, urine type content, temperature of fluids etc.
  • the pulp urinal is a male urinal and comprises a container body with a neck. A lid can be placed on the neck.
  • a fluid absorbent powder or dissolvable sachet or dissolvable pad within a pulp urinal, in order to absorb urine coming into the urinal and turn it into a gel like solid non-fluid substance.
  • This also makes it easier for the nursing staff to handle the urinal compared to a situation where it is filled, or partially filled, with urine in usual liquid form.
  • the lifetime of the pulp urinal may be increased, because the dissolution process is reduced when the urine is stored as a gel like substance.
  • the fluid absorbent powder or otherwise material is contained within a dissolvable sachet or otherwise material, wherein the walls of the sachet dissolve when coming into contact with urine.
  • the container When a fluid absorbent powder (or sachet) is provided within the container, the container needs to be closed with a lid such that the powder does not come out of the container.
  • a lid such that the powder does not come out of the container.
  • a health care urinal for collecting and disposing of urine comprising:
  • concave is to be understood as meaning curving upwards when seen from below, i.e. when looking at the bottom of the urinal from a point below the urinal.
  • the lid may be packaged individually or packaged together with a plurality of other lids stacked on top of each other.
  • the tongue allows for an easier separation of individual lids, when the lids are provided as a stack of lids, i.e. it is easier to grip the top lid, and take it from the stack of lids.
  • the fluid absorbent powder is a slush powder or super absorbent polymers, which are polymers that can absorb and retain large amounts of a liquid relative to their own mass.
  • the fluid absorbent powder reacts with the urine when the powder and the urine meet in the compartment.
  • the reaction results in a gel or a substance with a higher viscosity than the viscosity of the urine.
  • the fluid absorbent powder absorb aqueous solutions such as urine through hydrogen bonding with water molecules.
  • the health care urinal may be a male urinal.
  • the lip may have a first oval shape, and the first oval shape may have the major axis in a vertical direction when the lid being located in the opening.
  • the sidewall may have a cross section with a second oval shape, and the second oval shape may complement the first oval shape.
  • the lip may bulge outwards from the neck, and may be formed by folding or forming the end of the neck thereby decreasing the degree of flexibility of the lip - and thereby increasing the general structural rigidity of the area surrounding the opening.
  • the sidewall is made with less material than the neck, and is therefore not as structurally rigid as the lip being structurally supported by the neck. Furthermore, the sidewall as well as the lid bottom or collar can be made thinner than the wall thickness of the neck or the thickness of the lip.
  • the sidewall may be made with a thickness of 2 mm ⁇ 1 mm, or 3 mm ⁇ 1 mm.
  • the lid bottom and collar may be made with the same thickness, i.e. 2 mm ⁇ 1 mm, or 3 mm ⁇ 1 mm.
  • the neck may be made with a thickness of 2 mm ⁇ 1 mm, or 3 mm ⁇ 1 mm. Even if the sidewall and neck are made with the same thickness the smaller overall dimension of the lid gives the lid a smaller modulus material parameter than the area of the container surrounding the opening (the modulus material parameter measures the amount of force per unit area needed to achieve a given amount of deformation)
  • the lid can thereby be made to be deformed and placed in the opening.
  • the flexibility/elasticity of the lid presses the sidewall against the inner surface of the neck. Since the lip and neck is more dense than the lid, the lip and neck does not give in due to the force formed by the elasticity of the lid (spring constant of the deformed lid).
  • the lid bottom may have an outer surface defining a second plane, and the collar may define a third plane in which the tongue extend.
  • the tongue comprises a distal end, which may be within a projection of the body onto the third plane.
  • the tongue may be facing downwards towards the first plane. This increases the structural rigidity of the lid and gives the lid a higher elastic limit thereby reducing the risk of breaking the lid when deforming it as the tapered sidewall is being forced into the opening (the elastic limit is the maximum stress that can arise in a material before the onset of permanent deformation).
  • the sidewall may contact the inner surface of the neck when the lid is being located in the opening.
  • the contact between the sidewall and the inner surface of the neck may have a static friction coefficient between 0.6 and 1.2.
  • the lip may have a first oval or elliptic shape, which may have the major axis in a vertical direction when the lid being located in the opening.
  • the sidewall may have a cross section (in a plane parallel to the second plane) with a second oval shape.
  • the second oval shape may complement the first oval shape.
  • the inclination of the neck relative to the first plane may be greater than 15° and less than 55° such that greater than 25° and less than 45°.
  • a method of manufacturing a health care urinal for collecting and disposing of urine comprising:
  • the lid may be manufactured by moulding a rectangular sheet with for example 6x4 lids. Each of these 24 lids are then cut out and placed on respective containers. Alternatively, the lids may be stacked on top of each other and shipped as a stack of lids. The lids are cut out of the sheet with a single tongue each. When the lids are cut out instead of being torn out, the dust from the moulded pulp material is reduced, and the risk of breaking a lid is smaller. In addition, waste for return pulp is cut off.
  • the lid may also be manufactured using a mould having the shape of a lid such that one lid is moulded at a time, and the cut out process is skipped.
  • Fig. 1 shows a perspective of a container 10 for a health care urinal.
  • the container constitutes a bottle and is made of a moulded pulp material otherwise known as moulded fibre.
  • a pulp slurry fibrous slurry
  • transfer moulding One process of moulding a pulp slurry (fibrous slurry) into a specific product such as the container shown in fig. 1 is transfer moulding.
  • a transfer moulded product is usually thin walled meaning that the walls defining the product may come in widths within the range of 0.2 cm to 0.8 cm such as 0.2-0.6 cm or 0.2-0.4 cm.
  • the process uses vacuum forming and take-off or transfer molds, where the mold is an extremely fine wire mesh in the shape of the upper/exposed surface.
  • the fibrous slurries are frequently made up of a high percentage or entirely of recycled newspaper, which produces a relatively smooth surface on one side and a fairly smooth surface on the opposite side with good accuracy and definition.
  • the mesh Prior to the molding process, the mesh is mated with a vacuum chamber that draws water through the mesh into the chamber, with the mesh mold suspended above a liquid return pool.
  • the fibrous slurry is sprayed from below onto the mold, and the vacuum draws the slurry tightly against the mesh, filling all gaps and spaces.
  • the container may be moulded as two half-shells (an upper shell 24 and a lower shell 26) being put together and being in contact along an adjoining line 28.
  • the health care urinal is a male urinal, which is evident from the shape of the container, i.e. the container has a body 18 and a neck 14.
  • the body is shaped as a rectangular box with rounded corners and edges, i.e. the corners and edges are smooth (differentiable).
  • the body is hollow and defines a compartment inside.
  • the body has a container bottom, with a bottom outer surface 12.
  • the bottom outer surface is concave (curving upwards when seen from below) and has an impression of a cone.
  • the container has a bottom rim defining a first plane for placing the urinal in a stable position on a horizontal surface.
  • the bottom outer surface of the container is planar (flat) defining the first plane for placing the urinal in a stable position on a horizontal surface.
  • the bottom part of the body extends continuously into a top part of the body, which is shaped like a dome.
  • the body is 15 cm (or approximately 15 cm) long and 10 cm (or approximately 10 cm) wide. Approximately meaning within tolerances of manufacture, which are up to ⁇ 2 cm but may be down to ⁇ 0.5 cm depending on the carefulness exhibited during moulding and drying).
  • the length of the body may be selected from a range of 10-20 cm, such as 12-18 cm or 14-16 cm.

  • the inclination of the neck is described more closely in relation to the description of fig. 3 .
  • the neck ends in a mouth defined by a lip 16.
  • the lip defines the opening into the container.
  • the lip bulges outwards from the neck, and may be formed by folding the end of the neck thereby decreasing the degree of flexibility of the lip - thereby increasing the general structural rigidity of the area surrounding the opening.
  • the neck is more narrow than the body, and may have a decreasing diameter from the body towards the mouth, i.e. the neck is tapered or conically shaped.
  • the neck has a length of 10 cm or (or approximately 10 cm meaning within 10 cm ⁇ 2 cm or 10 cm ⁇ 1 cm).

  • the bottom outer surface of the lid bottom defines a second plane, i.e. when placed on a planar surface, the outer surface of the lid bottom has at least three points which contacts the planar surface thereby defining a second plane.
  • the lid bottom and part of the sidewall closest to the lid bottom is to be accommodated in the opening of the container.
  • the extent of the sidewall down into the neck will depend on how much the lid is pressed into the opening and the dimensions of the sidewall and the opening after the moulding, i.e. the dimensions of products made of moulded pulp material vary from casting to casting more than is the case with expanded polystyrene for example.
  • the sidewall has a height of 1.5 ⁇ 0.5 cm measured from the lid bottom.
  • the height may be selected from the range of 0.5-2 cm, or 0.75-1.75 cm, or 1-1.5 cm, or 1.25-1.5 cm, or 1.25-1.75 cm.
  • a collar 34 extends from the sidewall opposite the lid bottom in a third plane, which is substantially parallel with the second plane. Substantially parallel means within an angular relation of less than ⁇ 10°.
  • the collar may abut the lip when the lid is accommodated in the opening of the container, and provides structural stability for the lid, which is described more closely in connection with the description of fig. 3 .

  • the circumference of the sidewall at the lid bottom is smaller than the circumference of the opening of the container, and the circumference of the sidewall at the collar is greater than the circumference of the opening of the container.
  • the tapered sidewall allows for a contact to be established between an outer surface of the sidewall and an inner surface of the neck when the lid is accommodated in the opening of the container despite of the dimensions of the neck, opening and the lid being different as a result of the moulding process, which is not 100 % accurate as described in connection with the description of fig. 1 .
  • the tapered sidewall also allows for part of the sidewall being oversized with respect to the opening.
  • the sidewall as well as the lid in itself have a higher degree of flexibility than the lip for providing a press fit between the lid and the container when the lid is accommodated in the opening such that the lid does not fall off if the urinal is turned upside down and the sachet hits the lid, i.e. the lid can be deformed and placed in the opening.
  • the flexibility/elasticity of the lid presses the sidewall against the inner surface of the neck.
  • the sidewall is made with less material than the neck, and is therefore not as structurally rigid as the lip being structurally supported by the neck. Furthermore, the sidewall as well as the lid bottom or collar can be made thinner than the wall thickness of the neck or the thickness of the lip.

  • the direction is to be understood as the direction of the axis through the tongue between the proximal end and the distal end.
  • the body shadows the tongue meaning that when a urinal is pulled out of a packaging box, it is less likely that the body of the urinal does not pull the lid of an adjoining urinal off thereby making it possible for the sachet to fall out of the container.
  • Fig. 4a shows the cross section A-A' of the lid shown in fig. 2 .
  • Fig. 4a illustrates the tapering of the sidewall 36 of the lid, i.e. the sidewall has a conical shape with a base at the collar, and extending towards an apex beyond the lid bottom (the sidewall does not end at the apex, but the conical shape stops at the lid bottom).
  • the tapering is constituted by a first angle ⁇ between the sidewall and the second plane defined by the bottom surface of the lid bottom 46.

  • the collar has a maximum width w 1 and a minimum width w 2 .
  • the collar is to provide structural stability to the lid and at the same time not extend beyond the lip when said lid is accommodated in the opening. Otherwise other urinals may engage the collar when being pulled out of the packaging box and rip the lid off the container.
  • the lid is moulded such that the ratio between the maximum width and the minimum width is greater than 1, but less than 1.5.
