Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a female urinal suitable for use in a place other than a toilet (toilet) (for example, in a car or on a bed).
[0002]
[Prior art]
Recently, many public toilets have been installed, but there are some places where there are few installations.
[0003]
For example, on a highway, a large public toilet is provided in a parking area, but a toilet is generally not installed in other locations. Here, if the automobile can be driven at a normal speed (80 km / h to 100 km / h), it can be managed somehow until it enters the nearby parking area even if urination is made during driving. However, if you are forced to drive in a traffic jam, you will have an emergency that you cannot endure urination.
[0004]
In the case of men, if there are plastic bags or empty bottles in the car, it is possible to urinate in them, but in the case of women, urination does not overflow into the plastic bag due to the structure of the body. It's hard to do, and it's tricky.
[0005]
In order to cope with such an emergency situation, a female urinal has been commercially available. FIG. 11 shows a conventional configuration of the urinator.
[0006]
The urine drainer 70 is provided with a urine receiving port 71 such as a collar at the mouth (opening portion) of a plastic bag 73 and a urine coagulant 77 placed in the bag 73. In FIG. 11, reference numeral 75 denotes a fastener.
[0007]
When urinating using the urinal 70 in a car or the like, first put on underwear (ideally take off). At this time, if the skirt is not worn, the outer garment is taken off and covered so that the lower body cannot be seen from the outside. Next, as shown in FIG. 12, after opening the fastener 75 of the urine drainer 70, it is inserted into a skirt or the like and set so that the female genital can enter the opening part of the urine receiving port 71. At this time, it is necessary to bring the upper opening edge of the urine receiving port 71 into close contact with the skin around the female genital so that urine does not leak outside. Next, if urination is performed in this state, the urine enters the plastic bag 73 and solidifies. After urination, the fastener 75 is closed and then taken out from the skirt or the like. After returning home, as shown in FIG. 13, it is put in a garbage bag 79 and processed as waste.
[0008]

It is possible to wipe off the urine after the urinal 70 is taken out of the skirt or the like, but this causes the urine to sag before the urine is wiped off, so that the skirt, car seat, carpet, etc. are soiled. There is a fear.
[0010]
(B) When the urinal 70 is taken out from the skirt after urination, the urine attached to the urine receiving port 71 may come into contact with the back side of the skirt and become dirty.
[0011]
(C) When urinating, if the urine receiving port 71 of the urinal 70 is not in close contact with the skin around the female genitalia, urine may leak out, but in order to avoid leakage, the urine receiving port 71 is It must be pressed firmly against the skin, and the pressed skin may be damaged or painful.
[0012]
The urinal 70 is useful in cases other than those described above. For example, if a patient is admitted to a hospital and is unable to urinate by going to the toilet and overloading physically, but it is possible to urinate alone on the bed, The urinal is convenient. In this case as well, the above problems (b), (b), and (c) need to be solved, and there is a need for a structure that makes it easier to urinate for patients who have difficulty moving their bodies.

First, the urine receiving port 11 is formed so as to prevent leakage of urine discharged from the urethral port of the genital surrounding the female genital area.
[0030]
More specifically, as shown in FIG. 2, the urination receiving portion 11 is formed in an elliptical annular shape with a flat cross section, and the upper opening edge portion 12 is in contrast to the bottom opening edge portion 13 shown in FIG. 1. It is inclined (in this embodiment, an inclination angle of 35 °). As a result, when the woman takes a posture to urinate and the upper opening edge portion 12 of the urination receiving portion 11 is pressed against the site around the female genitals, the urine storage bag 21 hangs substantially vertically, It can be smoothly stored in the bag 21. The urine receiving port 11 is made of synthetic resin, paper, or the like, and can be deformed in the direction indicated by the arrow in FIG. In this embodiment, it is manufactured from a non-chlorine resin (for example, polyolefin) that does not generate dioxin or the like even when burned.
[0031]
Further, as shown in FIG. 1, the urine storage bag 21 communicates with the urine receiving port 11 and is configured to store urine. In this embodiment, the urine storage bag 21 is manufactured from a non-chlorine resin (for example, polyolefin). The urine storage bag 21 is provided with a fastener 25 at an upper portion thereof, and a urinary coagulant 27 for solidifying urine is placed in a bag portion below the fastener 25.
[0032]
Next, the urine wiping portion 31, which is a characteristic portion of the present invention, is provided in the urine receiving port portion 11 and is formed so as to be able to wipe urine adhering to the female genitalia and the surrounding human body part. The urine wiping portion 31 is formed so as to be able to seal the inner space by elastic contact with a portion around the female genitals. Moreover, the urine wiping portion 31 is formed to have high water absorption and high water retention.
[0033]
Specifically, as shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, the urine wiping portion 31 has a core material 32 having high water absorption and high water retention, and the core material 32 is soft and water-permeable. The cover member 34 is formed with a double-sided tape 36 so as to cover the upper opening edge 12 of the urine receiving port 11 over the entire circumference. The core material 32 is formed from a non-chlorine superabsorbent polymer sheet. Moreover, the cover material 34 is formed from the non-chlorine-type polypropylene nonwoven fabric.
[0034]
As shown in FIG. 1, the skirt-like sheet material 41 is provided on the upper portion of the urine storage bag 21. As shown in FIG. 7, the skirt-like sheet material 41 is turned over so that the urine adhering portion of the urine receiving port 11 and the urine wiping portion 31 are disposed. It is formed so that it can be covered. The skirt-like sheet material may be attached to the outer surface of the urine receiving port 11. In this embodiment, the skirt-like sheet material 41 is formed from a non-chlorine resin film (for example, a polyester film).
[0035]
Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described.
[0036]
For example, when a woman urinates using the female urinal 10 in an automobile, the underwear is first lowered (ideally removed). At this time, if the skirt is not worn, the urination can be concealed by removing the outer coat and covering the lower body.
[0037]
Next, as shown in FIG. 6, after opening the fastener 25 of the urine discharger 10, it is inserted into a skirt or the like and set so that the female genital can enter the opening part of the urination receiving port 11. At this time, since the inner space can be sealed by elastically contacting the urine wiping portion 31 with the part around the female genital organ, it is possible to prevent urine from leaking to the outside without pressing the urine receiving port portion 11 strongly against the skin. In addition, since the urine wiping portion 31 has a good touch, the skin is not excessively pressed and does not feel pain. Next, if urination is performed in this state, the urine enters the urination storage bag 21 and is coagulated.
[0038]
After urination, the urine on the female genitalia and its surroundings can be wiped cleanly by the urine wiping portion 31. At this time, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, urine can be more efficiently wiped by pressing the urine receiving port 11 from both sides and closing the urine wiping portion 31. Here, since the urine wiping portion 31 is provided in the urine receiving port portion 11, the urine can be quickly wiped off, and the clothes and the like are not soiled by dripping the urine. Moreover, since the urine wiping part 31 has high water absorption and high water retention, the urine attached to the female genitalia can be wiped off more reliably. Moreover, since the urine wiping part 31 is formed from the core material 32 made of a highly water-absorbent polymer sheet and the cover material 34 made of a polyester non-woven fabric, the urine attached to a female genitalia or the like can be wiped more comfortably. .
[0039]
After the urine is wiped off, as shown in FIG. 7, the skirt-like sheet material 41 is turned over to cover the urine adherable portion of the urine receiving port 11 and the urine wiping portion 31. Thereby, it can take out outside, without polluting a skirt etc. with urine. After returning home, put it in a trash bag and dispose of it as waste.
