Abstract

When an elderly person is confined to bed, or a patient is suffering from a spinal cord injury, and has the automatic urine collecting system of this invention fastened to him, has urine incontinence, the sensor 11 of the system detects the first drop of discharged urine and actuates a suction pump (not shown) so that the urine is automatically carried along with the air sucked from the urine receiving unit 1 and transmitted to a urinal 13. Air is supplied to the urine receiving unit through a multitude of small holes (not shown) bored at the top thereof. Air sucked into urinal 13 may be recycled by the pump to receiving unit 1 via filter 15 and vinyl tube 4. A warm water feed pipe 20 may be connected to said vinyl tube 4 for cleansing the patient's private parts. <IMAGE>

Description

SPECIFICATION Automatic urine collecting system Hitherto, when a patient suffering from urine incontinence, i.e., a patient suffering from spinal cord injury, and an elderly person confined to bed or in decrepitude, has urine incontinence in bed, diapers have to be replaced by an attendant several times a day, causing many difficulties in the washing, drying, and disposal of the diapers.
In urine collecting methods used hitherto, a bag made of rubber, polyethylene, or vinyl chloride is attached to patient's private parts, and it must be replaced at intervals by an attendant. In all of these methods, the patient's skin at the affected part tends to become sore due to moisture, causing the patient to suffer from inconvenience and discomfort.
An object of this invention is to collect urine excreted into a urine receiving unit by aerial suction into a urinal.
Another object of this invention is to speed up the discharge of urine and to prevent patient's skin from becoming sore due to moisture.
A further object of this invention is to cleanse the patient's private parts by pouring warm water into the urine receiving unit.
A still further object of this invention is to secure the urine receiving unit by use of a rubber ring, without causing injury to the patient's skin.
This invention is intended to achieve the aforementioned objectives, and is concerned with an automatic urine collecting system comprising; fitting an annular rubber tube, which is kept in contact with the patient's skin, at an end of a urine receiving unit, putting said annular rubber tube through a hole in a fitting cloth, boring a multitude of small holes and installing a soft airtube at the outer top of said urine receiving unit, connecting the opposite end of said urine receiving unit to a urinal via a sensor and a urine sucking vinyl tube, connecting urinal to a suction pump in an electric power unit by a vinyl tube, and connecting said sensor to the electric power unit by an electric wire.
Figure 1 is a longitudinal sectional view of the urine receiving unit.
Figure 2 is a perspective view showing the system in an operating condition.
An exemplary embodiment of this invention can be explained by the accompanying drawings.
The urine receiving unit is made of rubber curved at approximately a right angle, the top portion having a larger radius of curvature and the lower portion a smaller radius. An annular rubber tube 2 is attached to an end of said receiving unit 1. A multitude of small holes 3 are bord at the outer top of the unit and a soft vinyl tube 4 is connected thereto to the nozzle 5.
Putting said urine receiving unit through a hole of a fitting cloth 7, and secure the receiving unit thereto with said annular cloth 7, and secure the receiving unit thereto with said annular rubber tube. The upper end of said fitting cloth is fastened to a strap 9, which is fastened round patient's waist. Annular rubber tube 2 of receiving unit 1 is kept in contact with the patient's skin and the patient's private parts are inserted into the urine receiving unit. Two straps 10 and 10' fastened to the lower end of the fitting cloth are fastened to each of the patient's thighs.
The lower end 6 of urine receiving unit 1 is connected to sensor 11 and the sensor 11 is connected by the urine suction vinyl tube 12 to urinal 13, which in turn is connected to an electric power unit 17 by way of vinyl tube 14, filter 15, and vinyl tube 16.
When urine is excreted, it is sensed by sensor 11 and the signal is transmitted to electric power unit 17 and the urine is sucked out by a suction pump in the power unit 17 and fed into urine collecting unit 13 through urine suction vinyl tube 12 from the urine receiving unit. The air in urine receiving unit 1 is filtered and bad smell and moisture absorbed by filter 15 and is then circulated back the receiving unit.
When the outer surface of urine receiving unit is covered with diapers and vinyl cover which are to close the small holes of the top of the urine receiving unit, the exhausted air from the suction pump is to be supplied through vinyl tube 4, and the urine discharged is to be carried instantly to the urinal with the air circulation caused by the suction pump.
For that purpose, vinyl pipe 4 is to be connected with outlet of the suction pump 19.
Still further, when vinyl tube 4 is connected to hot water feed pipe 20 with the opposite end of the pipe inserted into bottle 21 filled with warm water and rubber bulb 22 is pressed, warm water can be fed into the curved pipe 1 for cleansing the patient's private parts.
Vinyl tube 4 may be replaced manually with airpipe 19 or warm water feed pipe 20, as required.

Claims (5)

1. Automatic urine collecting system comprising; fitting an annular rubber tube, which is kept in contact with the patient's skin, at an end of a urine receiving unit, putting said annular rubber tube into the hole of a fitting cloth, the outer top of said urine receiving unit being bored with a multitude of small holes and installed with a soft airtube, the opposite end of said urine receiving unit being connected to a urinal by way of a sensor and a urine suction vinyl tube, said urinal being connected to a suction pump in the electric power unit, and said sensor being connected to the electric power unit with an electric wire.
2. Automatic urine collecting system claimed in 1, wherein the upper end of the fitting cloth is fastened to a strap and the lower end to two straps.
