Abstract

An artificial bladder worn inside the body which has a valve which remains closed whilst the bladder is filling, and opens when it requires emptying. The artificial bladder may have a float 8 inside it on a pivoting arm 9 which rises as the bladder fills. The arm 9 may be connected to a ball 17 within the outlet tube 19 which also rises as the bladder fills and compresses spring 15 allowing urine to flow out. When empty, the float 8 and ball 17 may drop to close the opening 20 of the outlet tube.

Description

Artificial Bladder Description
Fig 1 shows a plan view of the Artificial Bladder which can be used to replace a natural bladder that no longer functions.
The plastic connector Fig 1.1 is attached to the right kidney ureter. The plastic connector Fig 1.2 is attached to the left kidney ureter. The plastic connector Fig 1.3 is attached to the urethra.
Attachment to a natural tube such as an ureter or a urethra can be described by taking the example of the ureter of the left kidney, this ureter is pushed into the opening of the plastic connector Fig 1.2 so that it is pushed over the plastic tube Fig 1.4. The nut of the plastic connector is then turned so that the nut goes towards the bladder plastic sack. Due to the collar of the plastic connector Fig 1.6 the plastic connector closure is kept from turning while the plastic connector closes down on the natural tube, the part of the plastic connector which closes down on the natural tube is Fig 1.5. The plastic connector nut travels along the thread of the bladder plastic sack Fig 1.7.
Fig 1.8 is a float. Urine forces the float up and hence the float arm Fig l.9 as the float arm is pivoted at Fig 1.10. There is a slot in the float arm Fig 1.11 in which the arm of the ball of the valve slides due to protrusion Fig 1.12 which has collar Fig 1.13 the protrusion and collar being on the arm of the ball of the valve. When the bladder is filled to a sufficient extent i.e. after there has been time for the bladder to fill then the float rises and disconnects the ball Fig 1.17 from the opening Fig 1.20 such that the ball Fig 1.17 goes up to the rim of the spring holder Fig 1.18 and then urine can flow through the plastic connector Fig 1.3, the spring Fig 1.15 is then in its compressed state.
Urine is allowed to flow through the plastic connector for a sufficient period due to the slot in the float arm Fig 1.11. When the bladder is empty then the ball of the valve Fig 1.17 goes down to Fig 1.20 and thus stops urine from being emitted for a sufficient time allowing the bladder to fill again, again due to the slot in the float arm Fig 1.11 the spring Fig 1.15 is in its extended state while the bladder is refilling.
Fig 1.15 is a spring. Fig 1.16 is the spring holder. Fig 1.17 is the ball of the valve. Fig 1.1B is the rim of the spring holder. Fig l.lD is art outer tube. Between the outer tahe Fig 1.19 and the spring holder Fig 1. 16 in the bladder plastic sack are holes to allow the urine to flow through. Fig 1.20 is the rim of the outlet tube of the plastic connector.

Claims (1)

  1. Artificial Bladder Claims 1. The Artificial Bladder is worn inside the
    body and will allow the user sufficient time before having to go to the toilet again by a valve which closes and remains closed while the Artificial Bladder is filling with urine, the valve will stay open for a sufficient time period to allow the bladder time to empty as well when it is time to go to the toilet, when the bladder is filled with urine, the Artificial Bladder is substantially as described herein with reference to the accompanying
    description and drawing.
