A conventional stool collection device for stool examination can collect only a part of the stool, and cannot satisfy the above-described requirements.

  There is a simple toilet attached to a Western-style toilet when water cannot be used in the event of a disaster, etc., for collecting all stools during excretion. However, in such a simple toilet, since stool and urine are collected in a mixed state, only the stool cannot be collected.

  Further, in order to collect all stool during excretion, a method of collecting in a plastic container or the like is used. However, there was a problem that stools scattered during excretion. At the time of inspection, it is necessary to stir the collected stool to make it uniform, but after collecting the stool in a plastic container, etc., the stool was stirred using a stick etc. It was difficult to do.

  Therefore, in the stool collection apparatus of the first embodiment, the mounting member 1 having a substantially ring shape and mounted with a space for excreting urine into the toilet in front of the toilet seat of the Western-style toilet, In a state of being integrally formed and mounting the mounting member 1 on the toilet seat 9, a locking portion 3 that locks the mounting member 1 with respect to the toilet seat 9, a flexible bag, and an opening portion of the bag A stool collection bag 4 to be mounted along the inner periphery of the mounting member 1 was provided.

  With this configuration, the mounting member 1 is mounted with a space for excreting urine into the toilet bowl in front of the toilet seat of the Western-style toilet, so that only stool can be collected without urine being mixed into the stool. Further, the mounting member 1 can be stably mounted on the toilet seat 9 by the locking portion 3. In addition, since the stool collection bag 4 is a flexible bag, it becomes possible to agitate the stool by hand from the stool collection bag 4 after collecting the stool, so that it is easy to uniformly agitate the stool. Can do. Moreover, since the stool collection bag 4 is a flexible bag, the scattering of the stool during stool collection can be suppressed.

Further, it is necessary to store and transport the stool collected in the stool collection bag 4, but there is a possibility that the stool smell may spread to the surroundings. Also, the intestines are in an anaerobic state, and it was necessary to ensure an anaerobic state in order to preserve the feces in a good state.
Therefore, in the stool collection apparatus of Example 1, the stool collection bag 4 is formed of a material that does not allow air to pass through.
With this configuration, it is possible to prevent the stool odor from spreading to the surroundings.
