Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to a sitting urine sampler for collecting urine from a sitting person.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventionally, a generally known urine collector has a cylindrical urine inlet integrally provided at an end of a substantially elliptical storage container having a flat bottom surface, and receives urine received from the urine inlet. It was stored inside the storage container. As other urine collection devices, a separately formed urine container and a urine reservoir are connected by a long small-diameter tube, and urine received by the urine container is sent to the urine reservoir through a small-diameter tube and stored. There was also a separate urinal configured to perform

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 However, such a conventional urine collector can be easily used by those who need to take urine in a sitting position due to limited activities, such as a wheelchair occupant in a wheelchair or a vehicle user in a traffic jam. It was not something that could be used. The reasons are as follows.

[0004] In the conventional urine collection device in which the urine inlet portion and the storage container are integrated as described above, the height from the bottom surface in the storage container to the urine inlet portion is not so high, and the storage container is steeply inclined. If not used, the urine received inside the storage container was likely to flow backward from the urine inlet to the outside. On the other hand, when collecting urine in a sitting position, it is difficult to steeply tilt the above-mentioned storage container unless the seating surface and feet are in the way, and the posture is not bent forward. To prevent this, an unreasonable posture of leaning forward is required, and a dilemma arises in that the risk of urine backflow increases to prevent the unreasonable posture of leaning forward. For this reason, such a conventional urinal was difficult to use in a sitting position where the activity was restricted.

[0005] In the conventional separation type urine collection device described above, urine is sent from the urine container to the urine storage device through a small-diameter long tube and stored therein. The collected urine was difficult to send to the urine reservoir, and the urine easily flowed back unless the tube was stretched properly. For this reason, such a conventional urine collector is difficult to use in a sitting position where the activity is restricted.

[0006] Furthermore, the conventional urine collector includes a portion for storing urine in both cases where a container for storing urine is integrally formed and a case where the container is separately formed. In order to maintain sanitary conditions, it was necessary to frequently wash the urine storage area, making it difficult to maintain sanitary conditions. A urine sampler used in a sitting position may be used in situations where it is difficult to wash it, such as when taking it out of doors.However, the conventional urine sampler described above requires frequent washing. If it is difficult to maintain sanitary conditions, it is not suitable as a urine sampler used in a sitting position.

[0007] The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a sitting urine dispenser which can be easily used by those who need to take urine in a sitting posture. That is.

[0008]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 (1) A sitting urine sampler (seated urine sampler 1) for collecting urine from a seated person, wherein the urine excreted from the seated person is received into the inside of the sitting urine sampler (urine inlet). A urine inlet section (urine inlet section 2) formed with 21); a urine flow path section (urine flow path section 3) for allowing urine received from the urine inlet section to flow down inside the sitting urine sampler; And a urine outlet (urine outlet 4) for discharging urine that has flowed down through the urine flow channel to the attached reservoir in a detachable state. The urine inlet has a ridge-shaped wall (backflow prevention wall 22) for preventing backflow of the received urine, which protrudes inward.

According to such a configuration, since the urine inlet portion having the inlet for receiving urine excreted from the person in the sitting position is provided, the person in the sitting position can keep the urine inlet. It is possible to easily excrete urine into the sitting urine sampler in the same state. By attaching the reservoir to the urine outlet, the urine flowing down through the urine flow channel is discharged to the reservoir, so that the urine received from the urine inlet is not stored inside the sitting urine sampler. can do. Furthermore, since the reservoir can be attached to and detached from the urine outlet, continuous urine collection can be performed simply by changing the reservoir to be attached, and post-treatment is extremely easy. Furthermore, since the ridge-shaped wall is formed to protrude inside the urine inlet, backflow of the received urine is prevented, so that urine must be collected without backflow and leakage to the outside. Can be. Furthermore, since urine received from the urine inlet is not stored and discharged to the reservoir attached to the urine outlet, it does not require frequent cleaning compared to a urine collector equipped with a urine storage container. The hygiene of the sitting sampler itself can be easily maintained. Thus, a seating urine which can be used easily for a person who needs to take urine in a sitting position, such as a wheelchair occupant in a wheelchair or a vehicle user in a traffic jam, can be provided.

(2) The urine flow path section (urine flow path section 3) is configured to receive urine excreted from a sitting person through the urine entrance section (urine entrance section 2). (Urine outlet 4) is bent so as to face downward (see FIG. 2).

[0011] According to such a configuration, the urine flow path section is bent such that the urine outlet section faces downward in a state where urine excreted from a person in a sitting position is received from the urine inlet section. The urine flow path allows the urine to flow downward from the urine inlet, and the urine received from the urine inlet flows down to the urine outlet. Easier to do. Also, by causing such a flow, it is possible to prevent urine from flowing back.

(3) In the urine inlet (urine inlet 2), the inlet (urine inlet 21) is formed in a shape along the pubis of a person (see FIG. 5).

According to such a configuration, since the entrance of the urine entrance is formed in a shape along the pubis of a person, urine can be easily collected regardless of gender.

(4) The urine outlet portion (urine outlet portion 4) is provided with a detachment preventing portion (protrusion 42) for preventing detachment of the attached reservoir (reservoir 80).

According to such a configuration, since the detachment preventing portion for preventing detachment of the attached reservoir is formed on the outside at the urine outlet portion, the detached retaining member is formed by the detachment preventing portion. The body can be made difficult to withdraw.

(5) The detachment preventing portion is constituted by a ridge (a ridge 42) formed outside the urine outlet portion, and the bag-shaped reservoir is covered with the urine outlet portion. The storage part covered over the ridge is tightened by an elastic body so that it can be prevented from detaching. According to such a configuration, a ridge is formed outside the urine outlet, and the bag-shaped reservoir is placed over the urine outlet when the urine outlet is covered. Since the covered storage portion is prevented from being detached by being tightened by the elastic body, the displacement of the storage body portion fastened by the elastic body is prevented by the ridge, and the mounted storage body is not easily detached.

(6) When the person in a sitting position sandwiches the sitting urine sampler (sitting sampler 1) between both legs, recesses (recesses 8, 8) are formed on the side surfaces for receiving both legs.

According to such a configuration, when the person in the sitting position sandwiches the urinal in the sitting position between both legs, the concave portion for receiving the both legs is formed on the side surface. Thus, the sitting urine sampler can be easily sandwiched between the two crotches, thereby holding the sitting urine sampler during use of the sitting urine sampler and preventing the position of the sitting urine sampler from shifting.

(7) There are further provided holes (holes 6, 6) which can be used for suspending the sitting urine sampler.

According to such a configuration, the sitting urine sampler can be hung by passing the string through the hole and hanging the string around the neck of the user of the sitting urine sampler. Even if it is difficult to hold the urine sampler, the sitting urine sampler can be held in a usable state.

(8) The apparatus further includes a holding part (holding part 5) that is attachable to the sitting position urine collection device using the hole, and is used to hold the sitting position urine collection device.

According to such a configuration, since the gripping portion can be attached to the sitting urine collecting device using the hole, the sitting urine collecting device such as a caregiver can be attached and gripped by attaching the gripping portion. A person other than the user can easily assist the use of the sitting urine sampler.

[Embodiment of the invention]

 Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing the configuration of a sitting urine sampler.

Referring to FIG. 1, a sitting urine sampler 1 is constituted by, for example, a cylindrical urine sampling body 10 made of ceramic. The urine collecting body 10 has a urine inlet 2 having an opening formed therein for receiving urine, a urine outlet 4 having an opening formed with a urine outlet 41 for discharging urine, and urine collected from the urine inlet 21. And a urine flow path section 3 in which a flow path through which urine received inside the body 10 flows down to the urine outlet 41 is formed. As shown in the figure, the urine collecting body 10 is used in such a manner that the urine inlet 2 is located above and the urine outlet 4 is located below. Therefore, all of the following hierarchical relationships are described based on the hierarchical relationship in this usage mode.

The urine inlet 21 for receiving urine is opened obliquely upward and has a substantially gourd shape when viewed from the front. This shape is such that concave portions 8, 8 are formed on both sides of the urine collecting body 10 near the urine inlet 21 so that a person in a sitting position can receive both legs when the seated urine sampler is sandwiched between both legs. It is based on. The urine outlet 41 has a circular shape when viewed from the front, and is open downward. The urine inlet 21 and the urine outlet 41 are connected by a channel space 31 in the urine channel portion 3, and the urine received from the urine inlet 21 passes through the channel space 31 to the urine outlet 41. Flow down.

In the urine inlet 2, a backflow prevention wall 22 for preventing backflow of the received urine is provided below the urine inlet 21. In the urine outlet 4, a ridge 42 is formed on the outer periphery of the urine outlet 41 as a detachment preventing portion for preventing detachment of the attached storage body as described later. Further, at a predetermined position in the upper part of the urine collecting body 10, two holes 6, 6 serving as holes through which a cord (see FIG. 6) for suspending the sitting position urine 1 can be formed. Have been. As will be described later, the holes 6, 6 can also be used for attaching a gripping portion (see FIG. 7) formed so as to be grippable by a hand such as an assistant.

FIG. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view of the sitting position urine sampler 1. In FIG. 2, portions common to FIG. 1 are denoted by common reference numerals, and duplicate description will not be repeated.

Referring to FIG. 2, urine flow path section 3 is configured such that urine outlet section 4 faces downward in a state where urine excreted from a sitting person is received from urine inlet section 2. It is bent. Due to such a shape of the urine flow path section 3, a downward flow can be generated from the urine inlet section 2, and urine received from the urine inlet section 2 easily flows down to the urine outlet section 4. You can do so. In addition, by generating such a flow, it is possible to prevent urine from flowing back. It is preferable that the urine flow path section 3 bend the flow path space 31 vertically downward as much as possible. However, the urine flow path section 3 is not limited to the bending degree shown in this embodiment, and even if the bending angle is somewhat small. At least, the angle should be such that urine received from the urine inlet 2 can flow down to the urine outlet 4.

In the urine inlet 2, the urine inlet 21 is formed along the lower abdomen around the pubic process of a person (see FIG. 5 for details). As described above, since the urine inlet 21 is formed in a shape along the pubis of a person, the sitting urine sampler 1 can easily collect urine regardless of gender. Further, the backflow prevention wall 22 is formed in a bank shape (a shape protruding higher than the bottom of the flow channel) to prevent the backflow of the received urine. As a result, even if urine received into the inside from the urine inlet portion 2 tries to flow backward, the backflow is blocked by the backflow prevention wall 22 in the form of a bank, so that urine can be reliably collected without urine leaking to the outside. it can.

In the urine outlet 4, for example, an umbrella bag (a transparent bag made of a synthetic resin such as a so-called vinyl bag, which is an elongated bag capable of accommodating the umbrella) is provided from below the urine outlet 4. Such a bag-shaped synthetic resin storage body 80 is placed over the ridge 42 and the storage body 80 is tightened and stopped from the outside with an elastic body 81 made of rubber band at a position above the ridge 42. Thus, the storage body 80 can be mounted. That is, in the urine outlet section 4, the storage body 80 is detachable. When the storage body 80 is mounted in this way, the displacement of the storage body 80 portion fastened by the elastic body 81 is prevented by the ridges 42, so that the mounted storage body 80 can be made hard to come off. . The protrusion 42 having such a function constitutes a detachment preventing portion for preventing the detached storage body 80 from being detached.

When the sitting urine sampler 1 is used, urine is collected with the reservoir 80 attached in this manner. Then, the urine which has flowed down to the urine outlet 4 is discharged from the urine outlet 41 into the attached storage body 80 as shown by the broken arrow in the figure. As described above, the sitting urine sampler 1 does not store the received urine inside, but stores it in the storage member 80 which is configured to be detachable separately. Since the reservoir 80 is detachable from the urine outlet 4, the urine can be continuously collected only by replacing the attached reservoir 80, and the post-processing is extremely easy.

FIG. 3 is a front view of the sitting urine sampler 1 as seen from the urine inlet 2 side. In FIG. 3, portions common to FIGS. 1 and 2 are assigned the same reference numerals, and duplicate description will not be repeated.

Referring to FIG. 3, the recesses 8, 8 are provided so that the person in the sitting position can easily pinch the sitting urine sampler 1 between the legs 11, 11 when using the sitting urine sampler 1. , 11 are formed. As described above, since the recesses 8, 8 for receiving the both legs 11, 11 are formed on the side surface of the sitting urine sampler 1, the both legs 11, 11 are brought into contact with the recesses 8, 8 by applying the both legs 11, 11. The sitting urine sampler 1 can be easily interposed therebetween, thereby preventing the position of the sitting urine sampler 1 from being displaced when the sitting urine sampler 1 is used.

Next, a specific mode of use of the sitting urine sampler 1 will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 4 is a front view of the usage state of the sitting position urine sampler 1. In FIG. 4, the same parts as those in FIGS. 1 to 3 are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will not be repeated.

Referring to FIG. 4, when performing urine collection using the sitting position urine collector 1, the person 100 can excrete urine into the urine inlet 21 while the person 100 is sitting in a seat. The sitting position urine collector 1 is held by sandwiching the recessed portions 8, 8 between both legs 11, 11 so as to be in a state. In this case, the urine outlet 4 is provided with the reservoir 80 in the manner described above. When the person 100 excretes urine in such a state, the urine is received into the held sitting urine sampler 1, and the urine is stored in the storage body 80.

As described above, the sitting urine sampler 1 is held by being sandwiched between the legs 11, 11, but when it is made of pottery, it has an appropriate weight and can be stably held at the time of use. Wear. Further, when the sitting urine sampler 1 is made of pottery, it is easy to clean when it is soiled, and the urination sound (urine collection sound) is low.

FIG. 5 is a diagram showing the usage state of the sitting position urine sampler 1 viewed from the side. In FIG. 5, portions common to FIGS. 1 to 3 are denoted by the same reference numerals, and duplicate description will not be repeated.

Referring to FIG. 5, when performing urine collection using sitting urine sampler 1, person 100 sets caudal base 12 and the seating surface of the seat parallel (horizontally), and places urine inlet 21 into pubic bone 13. It is preferable to hold the sitting urine sampler 1 in such a state that the urethral opening 14 is directed toward the urine inlet 21.

FIG. 6 is a diagram showing a state of the sitting urine sampler 1 in which a cord is passed through the hole. In FIG. 6, parts common to those in the other figures are denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant description will not be repeated. FIGS. 6A and 6B show a side view of the sitting urine sampler 1 in FIG. 6A to specifically show an attached state of the cord 61, and FIG. 6B shows a cross-sectional view taken along line BB of FIG. Figure is shown.

Referring to FIG. 6, when it is difficult for the user of sitting urine sampler 1 to hold sitting urine sampler 1 (urine collecting body 10) with both legs or hands, for example, strings are inserted into holes 6, 6. The sitting urine dispenser 1 is suspended by hanging the string 61 on the user's neck through 61. In this case, the string-shaped tightening ring 62 for bundling and tightening the strings 61 tightens the strings 61 in the vicinity of the sitting urine sampler 1 to improve the stability during suspension. By suspending the sitting urine sampler 1 with the string 61 in this way, even if the user cannot hold the sitting urine sampler 1 with his limbs, the sitting position urine sampler 1 can be suspended by the string 61. It can be maintained in a usable state.

FIG. 7 is a view showing a state of the sitting urine sampler 1 to which the gripping portion 5 is attached. In FIG. 7, parts common to those in the other figures are denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant description will not be repeated. 7A and 7B show a side view of the sitting urine sampler 1 in FIG. 7A to specifically show an attached state of the gripping portion 5, and FIG. 7B shows a view along the line AA in FIG. FIG.

Referring to FIG. 7, it is assumed that the user of sitting urine sampler 1 is a person who has difficulty in holding sitting urine sampler 1 with both legs and needs assistance, such as a severely disabled person. The gripper 5 can be attached to the sitting urine sampler 1 (urine collection body 10) by using the holes 6 and 6. The gripping part 5 is made of, for example, metal, and has a handle 51 provided on a plate-like base 52 bent along the shape of the upper part of the sitting urine sampler 1. Two holes are formed in the base 52 of the gripping portion 5 so as to match the positions of the two holes 6 and 6. The gripping part 5 is positioned so that the two holes of the base 52 are aligned with the holes of the holes 6, and the bolts 53, 53 passed through each hole from the inside to the outside of the sitting urine sampler 1. And is fixed using the nuts 54, 54, and attached to the upper part of the sitting urine sampler 1. When the gripping unit 5 is attached to the sitting urine sampler 1 in this way, the caregiver holds the sitting urine sampler 1 by gripping (holding) the gripping unit 5. As a result, it is possible for a person other than the sitting urine sampler, such as a caregiver, to easily assist the use of the sitting urine sampler.

According to the configuration of the sitting urine sampler 1 as described above, the urine inlet 2 having the urine inlet 21 formed therein for receiving urine excreted from a person in the sitting position is provided. Therefore, the person in the sitting position can easily excrete urine into the sitting position urine collection device 1 as it is. By attaching the reservoir 80 to the urine outlet 4, the urine flowing down through the urine flow channel 3 is discharged to the reservoir 80, so that the urine received from the urine inlet 2 can be used as a sitting urine sampler. It can be prevented from being stored inside. Further, since the reservoir 80 is detachable from the urine outlet 4, the urine can be continuously collected only by replacing the reservoir 80 to be attached, and the post-processing is extremely easy. Further, since the bank-shaped backflow prevention wall 22 is formed to protrude inside the urine inlet 2, the backflow of the received urine is prevented, so that the urine does not flow backward and leaks to the outside without fail. Urine collection can be performed. Further, since urine received from the urine inlet 2 is discharged to the reservoir 80 attached to the urine outlet 4 without storing the urine, frequent cleaning is required as compared with a urine collector having a container for storing urine. The hygiene of the sitting urine sampler itself can be easily maintained without necessity. Accordingly, it is possible to provide the sitting-type urine dispenser 1 that can be easily used by a person who needs to take urine in a sitting state, such as a wheelchair user using a wheelchair and a vehicle user in a traffic jam. . In addition to the above-mentioned applications, the sitting urine sampler 1 can be used for various other purposes such as a driver of a car in a waiting state (waiting for a customer, etc.), night urine collection for diabetics, night urine collection for elderly people, and the like. Can be used.

In the above-described embodiment, the case where the sitting position urine collection device 1 (urine collection body 10) is made of ceramic is disclosed as an example. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the sitting position urine collector 1 (urine collecting body 10) may be made of a synthetic resin. In such a case, the production becomes easy and it is hard to break. In addition, the sitting position urine sampler 1 (urine sampling body 10) may be made of metal. If it does so, it will become hard to be damaged. As described above, the sitting position urine sampler 1 (urine sampling body 10) is not limited to the above-mentioned pottery device, and may be made of any material. Further, the gripping portion 5 may be made of a different material from the urine collecting body 10, or may be made of the same material as the urine collecting body 10. That is, the holding portion 5 is not limited to the metal described above, and may be made of any other material such as a synthetic resin, pottery, and the like.

Although the above-mentioned storage body 80 is in the shape of an elongated bag, when urine is stored in such a storage body 80, the storage body 80 is detached from the sitting urine sampler 1 so that the stored urine does not leak. It is preferable to tie the opening with a knot that can be easily released, such as a bow. This facilitates the process of discarding urine after storing the urine in the storage body 80 for a short time. Further, it is preferable to use the storage body 80 that is disposable, such as the bag made of synthetic resin described in the above-described embodiment, and that can be easily disposed of after use. The use of the easily disposable storage body eliminates the necessity of washing the urine storage body 80 in the sitting urine sampler 1.

In the above-described embodiment, an example in which a synthetic resin bag is used as the storage body 80 has been described. In addition to such a bag, a synthetic resin bag that can be attached to and detached from the urine outlet 4 is used. May be used. That is, the storage body is not particularly limited to a bag as long as it is a storage body that can be attached to and detached from the urine outlet 4 that can store urine.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, a rubber band is shown as an example of the elastic body 81 to which the storage body 80 is tightened and attached. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the elastic body 81 may be an annular spring or the like. An elastic body other than the rubber band may be used. That is, as the elastic body 81 in this case, any material can be used as long as the elastic body 81 can be prevented from being detached by tightening the storage body 80 with elastic force.

When a rubber band is used as the elastic body 81, a rubber band having a circular cross section may be used in addition to a rubber band having a rectangular cross section. When a rubber band having a circular cross section is used, the tightening position can be easily moved while the rubber band used as the elastic body 81 is rolled along the outer periphery of the urine outlet portion 4. It can be tightened and attached.

The embodiments disclosed this time are to be considered in all respects as illustrative and not restrictive. The scope of the present invention is indicated not by the above description but by the claims of the utility model registration, and is intended to include all modifications within the meaning and scope equivalent to the claims of the utility model registration.
