Description

The present invention relates to an assisting device that receives urination and pours it into a toilet bowl so that the urination does not contaminate the outside of the toilet bowl or clothes when a man uses the toilet bowl.

Conventionally, when a male uses a toilet bowl, the following Patent Documents 1 to 3 and the like have been disclosed in order to prevent the urination out of the toilet and the clothes from being contaminated. The inventions in these documents are devices that are made water-soluble and disposable, or devices that collect urine with a cylindrical device, and connect it to a hose to release it into the toilet.

JP-A-2005-060997 JP 2007-231715 A JP 2009-114827 A

In the prior art, as disclosed in Patent Document 1, there is a disposable water-soluble cover that induces small water to the toilet bowl. Measures such as coating and reinforcement with slow water solubility have been proposed, but there are problems such as clogging the toilet even if these measures are taken.

Patent Document 2 urinates in a cylindrical prevention device, but it is difficult to clean the urine adhering after use. For this reason, the prevention device is made of a water-soluble material and is slowly soluble in water. Although it is made disposable by strengthening with a fixative, there are problems such as pinching the toilet bowl.

Patent Document 3 uses a small amount in a cylindrical instrument from the examples, and discharges urine to a toilet using a hose. However, since it is cylindrical and the structure becomes complicated, urine adhered after use There are problems that are difficult to clean.

It is an object of the present invention to prevent urination from polluting the toilet or clothes by facilitating urination from a device that receives urination during men's small use, and to facilitate cleaning of urine adhering to the device used. To do.

The present invention is a small-sized auxiliary tool for men having a discharge path surface that opens to the tapered discharge end while narrowing the shape from the large end valley bottom side, and is provided upstream of the discharge path surface. Since the partition plate is provided with a concave surface portion, the position of the external urethral opening and the direction of urination can be easily stabilized, and since the upper part is opened, cleaning after use can be facilitated.

Furthermore, the small auxiliary tool of the present invention is provided with a discharge path surface that touches urine from the partition plate to the discharge end, and a knob portion for operating the auxiliary tool by pinching with a finger on the part partitioned by the wall, The hands are not contaminated with water from urination or washing.

Furthermore, if the portion of the discharge path surface of the small auxiliary device of the present invention where the flow of urine is repelled is the surface that repels urine, the flow of urine tends to clump or meander due to the effect of surface tension, Since it was found that the urine was ejected from the part, a surface to be wetted by urine was provided at an appropriate part of the flow so that the urine was adsorbed on the surface of the discharge path, and it was not scattered from the edge and led to the lower discharge end. By using a surface that repels urine, urine remaining after use can be reduced by, for example, shaking the auxiliary tool, and remaining water after washing the auxiliary tool can be easily wiped off with dust paper or the like.

The surface tension of urine was about 63-71 mN / m as a result of measurement by the drop method every time urination was changed at different times, but the urine has different numerical values depending on the dissolved components, etc. The upper limit of the surface tension to repel urine is 50 mN / m and the lower limit of the surface tension to wet urine is 74 mN / m. It is preferable to select an appropriate material whose surface tension of the portion is as small as possible from this upper limit value.

The small auxiliary tool for men of the present invention has the knob portion as described above, and the partition plate has a concave surface portion, which can determine the position of the external urethral opening and the direction of urination, so that it is natural in nature. It can be used in a small state, and since the upper part is configured as an open type, cleaning after use is easy.

By making the appropriate part of the drainage channel surface where urine flows into the surface soaked in urine, the flow meandering in the drainage channel, jumping out from the edge of the urine, and soiling the outside of clothes and toilets are improved, and assistance is provided. The knob part that operates the tool is isolated from the discharge path, and hands are not soiled by urination.

Furthermore, if the material that repels urine except for the appropriate part where the urine flows in the discharge path is repelled, that part will repel urine, so there will not be much urine left, and if the aid is shaken, only a little urine will remain. Cleaning after use is easier and can be used cleanly for a long time.

Furthermore, this auxiliary tool can be made small, and if it is made of plastic as a material, it can be produced lightly and inexpensively. Also, it is suitable for personal use at home and is easy to manage. Can be stored without sticking.

FIG. 1 is a conceptual diagram showing a use situation of an embodiment of the present invention. The external urethra is located above the concave surface portion 9 of the partition plate 5 and is operated by supporting the knob portion 10 of the assisting tool 1 with fingers. A state in which urination from the mouth 1a is poured into the toilet 1b is indicated by a dotted line.

The upper surface of the discharge path surface 2 of the assisting tool 1 is open, the shape on the partition plate 5 side is a valley bottom, and the urine is ejected from the discharge path surface 2 from the large end valley bottom shape 3 to the discharge end 4. In order to flow in an orderly manner, the shape of the discharge path surface 2 is configured to be narrowed sequentially.

Furthermore, a part of the surface of the drainage passage surface 4 where the urine flows is made a surface 8 which includes the edge 11 and gets wet with urine, and the surface of the other part divided by the dotted line is made of the material of the surface 6 which repels urine. It is a thing.

Figure 2 is a perspective view of the embodiment of urination aid 1 of the present invention, configured as the shape of the position and the concave portion 9 of the partition plate 5 is guided to the proper position meatal clean is maintained and, urination so that is guided by the smooth effect of surface tension and gravity to the discharge end 4, to the discharge end of the position and shape or the surface of the boundary line 7 of surface 8 which wet with urine length, shape of the ejection road The outer shape of the edge 11 was configured.

The material for the small auxiliary tool 1 shown in FIG. 2 is made of polypropylene, and silica gel particles are welded to the surface to make the surface 8 wet with urine. The basic thickness of the discharge path surface 2 and the like is as follows. The total length from the discharge end 4 to the knob portion 10 is about 180 mm, but these dimensions can be changed according to the use conditions.

FIG. 3 is a plan view of an embodiment showing the configuration of the discharge path surface 2 of the small auxiliary tool 1, and shows a portion 8 where the urine flows through the urine including the edge 11 in the shaded portion. In addition, an example is shown in which a barb portion 12 is provided to improve the urination splash from the edge 11 as necessary.

Further, as the material for the surface 6 for repelling urine of the small assisting tool 1 shown in FIG. 3, a plastic such as polyethylene whose surface tension is as small as possible is less than 50 mN / m, and as the material for the surface 8 wetted by urine, zeolite is used. It is preferable that the surface tension be increased as much as possible from 74 mN / m by improving the surface, for example, by welding a plastic to the surface. However, these selections are naturally selected in consideration of performance and manufacturing value.

FIG. 4 is a perspective view of an embodiment of the side knob portion of the small assisting tool 1 of the present invention, in which a left-hand side knob portion 13 provided on the side surface of the discharge path surface 2 and a reinforcing portion 14 are provided for reinforcement. It is an example.
