By the way, for example, when a child such as an infant collects urine, the urine may not fit well in the urine cup, which may stain the surroundings or wet the hands with the urine, which poses a sanitary problem. In addition, the excreta collection device disclosed in the above-mentioned Patent Document 1 is based on a feces collection device and can be used for both stool collection and urine collection. be.

(1) A urine collection device according to the present invention includes a concave collection portion capable of storing urine, first band portions provided on the left and right sides of the collection portion, and second band portions provided in front of the collection portion. wherein the adhesive portion provided on the lower surface of the tip of the first band portion is attached to the left and right upper surfaces of the seated toilet bowl or the left and right upper surface of the toilet seat, and the adhesive portion provided on the lower surface of the tip of the second band portion is attached. , the collecting portion is suspended by being attached to the upper surface of the front side of the toilet bowl or the upper surface of the front side of the toilet seat so that discharged urine is collected in the collecting portion; It is preferable that the liquid is flowed toward the collection part.

(2) It is preferable that the collecting portion, the first band portion, and the second band portion have a character motif. The character should, for example, be familiar and liked by children.

(3) It is preferable that the second band portion is composed of parts positioned on the front side of the character. With this configuration, the urine collection instrument can be intuitively set with the second band portion placed on the front side.

(4) The character may be an elephant, the collecting part may resemble the face of the elephant, the first band may resemble the ear of the elephant, and the second band may resemble the trunk of the elephant. Since the nose is in front of the face and extends to the front, the user can intuitively understand that the second band is on the front side of the urine collection device.

(5) It is preferable that a projecting piece-like portion that protrudes in the shape of a canopy is provided on the rear side of the collecting portion, and that the projecting piece-like portion has a shape that imitates the head of the elephant. By providing the protruding portion, the strength of the rear side of the collecting portion is increased, and the front and back direction of the urine collecting device can be known from the relationship between the head and the nose.

(6) The collecting portion has a first recess and a second recess provided at a center portion in the left-right direction of the bottom of the first recess, and the front wall portion of the first recess and the front of the second recess are provided. It is preferable that the wall portion is a continuously connected inclined surface. With this arrangement, for example, urine that hits the front wall of the first recess also flows downward and accumulates in the second recess.

(7) With the second band portion attached to the front side upper surface of the toilet seat or the front side upper surface of the toilet bowl, and the first band portion attached to the left and right upper surfaces of the toilet seat or the left and right upper surfaces of the toilet bowl, It is preferable that the front side of the sampling portion is in contact with or close to the inner peripheral edge of the toilet seat on the front side.

(8) The sampling part, the first band part, and the second band part preferably comprise a base material made of paper, and at least the bottom side of the sampling part is provided with a water-soluble film. For the paper-made base member, it is preferable to use water-dissolvable paper that is decomposed by water (also called water-dissolvable paper), water-soluble paper that dissolves in water (also called water-soluble paper), or the like. By doing so, it is possible to minimize the possibility that the collecting portion will melt before the urine is collected and the bottom will come off due to the urine accumulated in the collecting portion. In addition, for example, if the film is provided on the bottom side and not provided on the upper portion, the urine collection device dissolves in water or decomposes in a short period of time at the time of disposal.

(9) The thickness of the paper-made base material of the first band portion and the second band portion may be thinner than the thickness of the paper-made base material of the collecting portion. By doing so, the paper can be washed with water without causing paper jams by, for example, surely melting when the paper is flushed down the toilet bowl. Suitable for use and disposal in, for example, water-saving toilet bowls. As for the thickness of the paper, it is preferable to reduce the number of sheets of paper to be laminated, for example. For example, it is preferable that the band section side is composed of one sheet of paper, and the collecting section side is composed of a plurality of stacked sheets.

(10) At least one of the outer surface and the inner surface of the sampling portion may be partially or wholly coated with a water permeability reducing material.

Also, in some cases, it is preferable to provide it on the bottom side, and when the first concave portion and the second concave portion are provided as in (6), the second concave portion side should be preferentially provided.

(11) It is preferable that a part or all of at least one of the upper surface and the lower surface of the second band portion is coated with a water permeability reducing material. The water permeability-reducing material may be applied to either the upper surface or the lower surface, or both surfaces. In some cases, it may be formed from the sampling portion side to a predetermined position, or may be formed over the entire length at the center side in the width direction. Further, although it is possible to provide the water permeability reducing material on the surface of the first band portion, it is preferable to apply the water permeability reducing material to the second band portion and not to the first band portion.

(12) A separation section for separating the tip portion provided with the adhesion portion of the first band portion and the tip portion provided with the adhesion portion of the second band portion from the collecting portion side. good. By cutting a predetermined portion of the first band portion and the second band portion with the separating portion, there is no adhesive portion in the body portion such as the cut-off collecting portion. is no longer stuck in the toilet bowl, and can be flushed more reliably and easily with water.

INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY According to the present invention, even a child such as an infant can appropriately collect urine while sitting on a toilet seat.

FIG. 1 shows a preferred embodiment of the urine collection device of the present invention, where (a) shows a plan view of the urine collection device and (b) shows a sectional view thereof. FIG. 2 is a bottom view thereof. FIG. 3 is a plan view showing the state of use. FIG. 4 is a diagram showing another embodiment of the urine collection tool of the present invention. FIG. 5 is a diagram showing another embodiment of the urine collection tool of the present invention. FIG. 6 is a diagram showing another embodiment of the urine collection device of the present invention.

Preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the drawings. It should be noted that the present invention is not to be construed as being limited to this, and various changes, modifications, and improvements can be made based on the knowledge of those skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the present invention.

FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a preferred embodiment of a urine collection device according to the present invention. As shown in the figure, the urine collection device 10 includes a collecting portion 11 having a rectangular recessed portion in plan view, first band portions 12 provided on the left and right sides of the collecting portion 11 , and a front side of the collecting portion 11 . A second band portion 13 and the like are provided. A band portion is not provided on the rear side of the collecting portion 11, but a protruding portion 14 protruding outward in the shape of a canopy is provided.

The collecting portion 11 includes a first recess 21 recessed downward from the outer peripheral edge, and a second recess 22 further recessed in the center of the bottom 21a of the first recess 21 in the left-right direction. The first concave portion 21 has a substantially truncated pyramid shape with a tapered lower end, and the front wall portion 21b, the left and right side wall portions 21c, and the rear wall portion 21d form inclined surfaces whose lower end sides are inclined toward the center. Similarly, the second recessed portion 22 has a substantially truncated pyramidal shape with a tapered lower end. The side slopes toward the center. A flat bottom portion 21 a of the first recess 21 exists between the side wall portion 21 c of the first recess portion 21 and the side wall portion 22 c of the second recess portion 22 . On the other hand, between the front wall portion 21b of the first recess portion 21 and the front wall portion 22b of the second recess portion 22, and between the rear wall portion 21d of the first recess portion 21 and the rear wall portion 22d of the second recess portion 22, the bottom portion 21a does not exist and is formed in a continuous state as it is.

In the present embodiment, the collecting part base material constituting the collecting part 11 and the band part base material constituting the first band part 12 and the second band part 13 are made of laminated paper of two layers (paper layers S1 and S2). , the collecting part base material and the band part base material are formed from continuous (that is, the same sheet) single-ply paper stock or laminated paper stock. For the paper layer, it is preferable to use water-dissolvable paper that is decomposed by water or water-soluble paper that is soluble in water.

The first band portion 12 and the second band portion 13 further include an adhesive layer 15 formed on the lower surface of the tip end side (the side away from the sampling portion 11) of each of the band portion base members. The adhesive layer 15 may also be configured using a material that dissolves in water. The adhesive layer 15 is covered with release paper before use.

The sampling part 11 also includes a film material 24 at least in the area of the second recess 22 in addition to the sampling part base material. The film material 24 is a film material that dissolves in water, but has the function of retaining urine in the second recess 22 without dissolving in water for a predetermined period of time. In this way, even if urine, for example, accumulates in the second concave portion 22, the film material 24 does not immediately melt or break, and retains its cup-like shape, allowing the urine to be retained for a predetermined period of time. . Since the film material 24 is made of a material that dissolves in water, it can be washed with water by discarding the urine collection tool 10 as it is in the toilet bowl after collection of urine.

The water-soluble film material may be, for example, a resin film material, such as a PVA-based resin film. Also, the PVA-based resin should preferably have excellent solubility in cold water (for example, 5° C.). In this way, when the urine collection device is discarded in the toilet bowl, the urine collection device can be easily dissolved in water retained in the toilet bowl or discharged water.

Furthermore, it is preferable that the second concave portion 22 has a retention rate of 15% or more 3 minutes after the physiological saline is injected. In addition, since the film material 24 is also flushed down the toilet, for example, when urine is fully contained, the retention rate is preferably 85% or less or 95% or less for 180 seconds.

The mounting of the film material 24 is, for example, as is clear from the enlarged drawing in FIG. A three-layer structure in which 24 is sandwiched is preferable.

That is, for example, when the amount of urine is small and a small amount of urine accumulates on the side of the bottom 22a of the second recess 22, the upper regions of the front wall 22b, the side walls 22c, and the rear wall 22d of the second recess 22 are filled with urine. It does not exist and is in a state of non-contact with urine. In this case, the urine in contact with the paper layer S1 provided on the inner peripheral surface side of the second recess 22 advances upward due to the capillary action of the paper layer S1, and the film is positioned above the surface of the accumulated urine. The material 24 is also brought into contact with urine through the paper layer S1 arranged on the surface thereof, and promotes that the material 24 is surely dissolved in a predetermined time.

In addition, as will be described later, when the urine collection tool 10 is discarded after use, the urine collection tool 10 is dropped into the seated toilet bowl 31 as it is so that it can be flushed down the toilet. At this time, depending on the relationship between the amount of water accumulated in the toilet bowl 31 and the drop position of the urine collection tool, the entire urine collection tool may not necessarily be submerged in water. There is Even in such a case, since the paper layer S2 is arranged outside the second concave portion 22 in today's mobile phone, if even a part of the paper layer S2 is submerged in water, the water will flow into the second It goes all the way into the recess 22 and contacts all the inner film material 24 . As a result, the water-soluble film material 24 is reliably dissolved in a predetermined time.

A sandwich structure in which the paper layers S1 and S2 are arranged on both sides of the film material 24 is preferable because the above effects can be obtained. Only the film material 24 may be used without providing the paper layer.

Furthermore, it is preferable to form the film material 24 also in the region of the first concave portion 21 . In this way, for example, even if discharged urine exceeds the second recess 22 and accumulates on the first recess 21 side, the urine can also be stored on the first recess 21 side for a predetermined time.

Further, in the present embodiment, a fringe DL is formed around the collecting portion 11, the first band portion 12, and the second band portion 13 so that the line segments having a high pressing force appear in the form of broken lines (in FIG. 2, the fringing DL Although illustration of DL is omitted, it appears in the same manner as in FIG. Although not shown, it is possible to form a pattern such as a grid in which line segments having a high pressing force appear in the form of broken lines over the entire surfaces of the first band portion 12 and the second band portion 13 . Forming such perforations makes it difficult for the urine collection device manufactured by lamination to separate, and adjusts the strength of the collecting portion and/or the band member during use. On the other hand, when the sheet is pressed with a high pressing force, a part of the sheet may be broken to form a perforation, and the perforation promotes permeation of water. Therefore, by increasing or decreasing the pattern of perforations and by adjusting the thickness and pitch of the broken lines, it is possible to adjust the speed at which the urine collection device dissolves in water.

Further, on the second band portion 13, an appropriate number of line segments 18 extending in the left-right direction and having a high pressing force are formed in the front and rear directions. The line segment 18 functions like a rib, and prevents the second band portion 13 from being twisted. It can be lifted slightly above.

In the urine collection device 10 of FIGS. 1 and 2, the water-dissolvable paper constituting the urine collection device 10 is difficult to peel off due to the edging DL, so the strength of the collection part 11, the first band part 12 and the second band part 13 is ensured. be done. Also, by increasing or decreasing patterns such as grids in which line segments with high pressing force appear in the form of dashed lines, and by adjusting the thickness and pitch of the dashed lines, it is possible to adjust the dissolution rate in water.

When manufacturing the urine collection device 10 of the present embodiment, the integrated product of the collection part base material and the band part base is formed by appropriately layering sheets of predetermined materials such as water-soluble paper and/or water-dissolvable paper and film material, and forming them into a desired shape. It can be manufactured by molding by hot pressing at the same time as punching. Note that at least one of a disinfectant, a deodorant, a deodorant, and a fragrance is impregnated (impregnated) into the urine collection tool 10 in the process before the hot press, at the same time as the hot press, or in the process after the hot press. do it.

Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the external shape of the urine collection device 10 may preferably be in the form of a predetermined character as a motif, particularly a character, such as an animal, that children are likely to be interested in. In this embodiment, the shape imitates the face of an elephant, which is an example of an animal. Specifically, the collection part 11 is likened to the elephant's face, the first band parts 12 arranged on the left and right correspond to the elephant's ears, the second band part 13 corresponds to the elephant's nose, and the rear side is arranged. The protruding piece-like portion 14 located at the position is made to correspond to the elephant head portion. The outer peripheral edge of the first band portion 12 represents an appropriate curved portion that simulates an ear, and a large hole portion 12a is provided in the center to simulate an ear hole.

In addition, the shape of the inner peripheral edge of the hole 12a is a shape having an appropriate curved portion in accordance with the hole of the ear. Furthermore, coupled with the fact that elephants have large ears, it is possible to increase the outer shape of the first band portion 12 and to extend the front end frame portion 12b relatively long in the front-rear direction. Since the adhesive layer 15 is formed on the lower surface of the tip end frame portion 12b, the adhesive layer 15 can be elongated to ensure a bonding area when the first band portion 12 is attached to the toilet seat 32 as described later. In addition, it is possible to adhere in a long section and support the sampling part 11 in a stable posture. Furthermore, in the present embodiment, since the first band portion 12 is provided with the large hole portion 12a, the total amount of paper is reduced and paper jams are less likely to occur. Since the hole 12a imitates the hole in the ear, it can be enlarged without discomfort.

Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the bottoms 21a of the first recesses 21 located on the left and right sides of the second recesses 22 are provided with the convex portions 19 linearly formed along the circumference of the ellipse. The convex portion 19 has a motif of an elephant's eye, which further emphasizes that the collection portion 11 imitates parts of the face.

Since the elephant's nose is also thick and long, the second band portion 13 is also wide and can be formed to a certain length without discomfort. In addition, the outer peripheral edge of the projecting piece-like portion 14 is gently curved to resemble a head. When the face is used as a reference, the ears are located on the left and right, and the nose is in front of the face and extends to the front. can. Furthermore, by providing the protruding portion 14 corresponding to the head, it can be understood that the second band portion 13 is on the front side even in comparison with it.

The urine collection device 10 configured as described above is used, for example, as follows. Prior to use, the release paper of the adhesive layer 15 provided at the tip of each of the first band portion 12 and the second band portion 13 of the urine collection device 10 is peeled off and adhered and fixed to a predetermined position on the toilet seat 32 (see FIG. 3). ). That is, for example, the adhesive layer 15 at the tip of the second band portion 13 from which the release paper has been peeled off is attached to the upper surface of the toilet seat 32 on the front side. In this state, the adhesive layer 15 at the tip of the first band portion 12 is attached to the left and right upper surfaces of the toilet seat 32 . As a result, the collecting part 11 is suspended from the toilet seat 32 by the first band part 12 and the second band part 13 . In addition, in this suspended state, the collecting portion 11 is located at a position lower than the tips of the first band portion 12 and the second band portion 13 . In other words, the second band portion 13 rises from the collection portion 11 toward the tip and is in a state of raising the trunk of an elephant, and the first band portion 12 rises from the collection portion 11 toward the tip. become slanted. Furthermore, the dimensions and shapes of the band portions and the collection portion 11 are such that the center of the collection portion 11 is located forward of the center of the toilet seat 32 in the front-rear direction when the urine collection device 10 is attached to a predetermined position on the toilet seat 32 . is set.

With the urine collection device 10 attached to the toilet seat 32 as described above, the user sits on the toilet seat 32 and urinates. Then, the urine urinated by the user accumulates in the collecting part 11, particularly in the second concave part 22. As shown in FIG. That is, since the collecting portion 11 is provided with the first concave portion 21 having a relatively large upper opening, most of the discharged urine reaches the inside of the collecting portion 11 . Since the first concave portion 21 and the second concave portion 22 have a substantially truncated pyramid shape with a tapered lower end, the liquid is finally guided to the second concave portion 22 and accumulated in the second concave portion 22 .

Furthermore, urinated urine is often discharged forward, and in such cases, it may hit the front wall portion 21b of the first concave portion 21, for example. The upper end of the front wall portion 22b of the second recess portion 22 is directly connected to the front wall portion 21b of the first recess portion 21, and since there is no flat bottom portion 21a as in the horizontal direction, the front wall portion 21b of the first recess portion 21, for example, The hitting urine smoothly moves downward along the front wall portion 21 b, travels along the front wall portion 22 b of the second recess portion 22 , and accumulates in the second recess portion 22 .

Furthermore, when the force of urination is strong or when the direction of urination is directed forward or the like, urine may hit the second band portion 13 . In such a case, the urine moves downward along the second band portion 13 and reaches the collecting portion 11 . Therefore, discharged urine can be reliably collected in the urine collection tool 10 .

The length of the second band portion 13 is such that the adhesive layer 15 at the tip thereof is attached to the upper surface of the front side of the toilet seat 32, and the first band portion 12 is attached to the toilet seat 32 with the sampling portion 11 placed at a slightly lower position. When attached, the front side of the collecting portion 11 comes into contact with or is close to the front inner peripheral edge of the toilet seat 32 , and a gap S is formed between the outer peripheral edge of the collecting portion 11 and the outer peripheral edge of the second band portion 13 and the toilet seat 32 in plan view. should be reduced. Similarly, the lateral width of the second band portion 13 may be set to a length such that the gap S is reduced. By doing so, the discharged urine is guided into the collecting portion 11 directly or through the second band portion 13 and collected therein.

Furthermore, when the user is a child, for example, by saying, "Let's pee at the elephant," the target of urination can be set. It is possible to urinate toward the two-band portion 13 and collect urine. In addition, by urinating toward the character (elephant) instead of an inorganic cup or other urinating device, the child is more likely to be interested in the subject, enjoys urinating, and can easily collect urine.

After urinating, the user gets down from the seated toilet bowl 31 (toilet seat 32) and collects the necessary amount of urine collected in the collection unit 11 using a dropper or the like. Due to the function of the film material 24, the collecting portion 11 does not melt for a certain period of time, for example, 2 to 3 minutes or more, and retains the desired cup-like shape, so that the necessary amount of urine can be collected during that time. can. After that, the adhesive layers 15 of the first band portion 12 and the second band portion 13 are removed from the toilet seat 32, and the urine collection device 10 can be dropped into the toilet bowl 31 and washed with water for disposal. Although the film material 24 does not immediately dissolve or decompose in water like paper, it can be flushed without clogging because it is a material that dissolves in water. In addition, even if it does not flow with one water flow, it can be washed with water by, for example, leaving it as it is and running water again after a short period of time has passed.

In the above-described embodiment, the second band portion 13 is composed of a band portion base material made of two layers (paper layers S1 and S2) of laminated paper that dissolves or decomposes in water, and is provided with the film material 24. not Even if urinated urine hits the second band portion 13, the urine immediately flows downward and reaches the collecting portion 11, so that the urine can be collected in the collecting portion 11 without any problem. Further, it is more preferable to interpose the film material 24 in the second band portion 13 as well as in the collecting portion 11 .

Moreover, as shown in FIG. 4, at least the inner surface of the second concave portion 22, that is, the surface of the paper layer S1 is preferably provided with a water permeability reducing material 25. As shown in FIG. It is more preferable to provide the water permeability reducing material 25 also on the inner surface of the first recess 21 . The water permeability reducing material 25 is preferably formed by applying a predetermined paint to the surface of the paper layer S1, for example. As the paint used for the water permeability reducing material 25, for example, a paint containing polyethylene terephthalate, polyolefin, or the like may be used, or a paint containing cellulose as a main component may be used.

By using the water permeability reducing material 25, even if urine accumulates in the second recess 22, the water permeability reducing material 25 does not immediately melt or break, and the second recess 22 maintains its cup-like shape. and the urine can be stored for a predetermined time. Although the water permeability lowering material 25 does not immediately dissolve in water like paper, it does dissolve in water.

In the above description, the water permeability reducing material 25 is formed on the inner surface of the second recess 22 or the first recess 21, but it may be provided on the outer surface or both. Furthermore, it may be provided in the first band portion 12 and the second band portion 13 as well. However, if the coating is formed over a wide area, it takes time for the urine collection device to dissolve in water, and there is a risk that it may not be possible to smoothly flush the urine collection device into the toilet bowl. Especially in the case of the second band portion 13, it is preferable to provide it on the upper surface side. Furthermore, when it is provided on the upper surface, it is preferable to form it so as to extend from a portion connected to the first concave portion 21 at the center in the width direction toward the tip. In this way, the urine that hits the upper surface of the second band portion 13 is guided by the water permeability reducing material 25 and smoothly flows downward, and contact with the paper layer S1 can be suppressed as much as possible. . This is preferable because movement in the paper layer S1 due to capillary action can be suppressed as much as possible.

In addition, in the above-described embodiment, the target person for using this urine collection device is a child. Further, although the adhesive layer 15 provided at the tip of the first band portion 12 and the second band portion 13 is attached to the toilet seat 32, it may be attached to the upper surface of the toilet bowl.

A paper layer constituting each layer is configured by laminating one or more sheets of paper. Although the number of sheets may be the same as a whole, it is preferable that the number of sheets be different depending on the part. By increasing the number of collection parts, it is possible to maintain the concave state for a long time during collection of urine. Also, it is preferable to reduce the number of sheets of the band portion. By doing so, the amount of paper used in the entire urine collection device can be reduced, and when the urine collection device is discarded in the toilet bowl, it can be dissolved or decomposed in a short time, for example, a water-saving type (for example, 6 liters of wastewater). Even if it is a toilet bowl, it is good because it can be reliably washed with water by one time drainage.

FIG. 5 shows a plan view of another embodiment. In this embodiment, a separating portion is provided for separating the distal frame portion 12b of the first band portion 12 and the distal portion 13a of the second band portion 13 from the sampling portion 11 side. It includes the tip frame part 12b to be cut off, the tip part 13a, and the area where the adhesive layer 15 is provided.

In this embodiment, the detachment is a mark 41 to guide the detachment. The mark 41 may be a triangular mark 41a arranged so as to be sandwiched between the inner and outer circumferences of the frame-shaped first band portion 12, or a line 41b indicating the tearing position. Since the first band portion 12 has an annular frame shape, a pair of marks 41a are arranged on the outside of both ends of the adhesive layer 15 in the longitudinal direction in order to separate the region including the adhesive layer 15 . As a result, the user cuts the first band portion 12 so as to cut, for example, between the pair of marks 41a respectively provided on both sides of the adhesive layer 15, thereby forming the first band portion 12 as shown in FIG. 5(b). tip frame portion 12b can be cut off.

Similarly, the second band portion 13 has a wide belt-like shape, and one end thereof is connected to the sampling portion 11, and the tip portion 13a is in a free state. A pair of marks 41a are provided on each edge. Furthermore, on the second band portion 13 side, a line 41b connecting the pair of marks 41a is provided. Therefore, the user cuts the first band portion 12 along the line 41b so as to cut between the pair of marks 41a respectively provided on both sides of the adhesive layer 15, for example, as shown in FIG. 5(b). The tip portion 13a of the second band portion 13 can be separated.

After the urine collection device 10 is used, such separation is performed while the urine collection device 10 is attached to the toilet seat 32 as shown in FIG. Therefore, in FIG. 5(b), the separated tip end frame portion 12b and tip end portion 13a are shown to move outward. In the pasted and fixed state, the collecting part 11 and the root side portions of the first band part 12 and the second band part 13 connected thereto are removed from the toilet seat 32 and become free. Then, it is preferable to dispose of the collecting portion 11 and the like in such a free state in the toilet bowl 31 and wash it with water.

For example, when the urine collection device 10 is flushed with the adhesive layer 15 attached without separating the tip frame portion 12b and the tip portion 13a as in the present embodiment, the adhesive layer 15 may stick to the inner peripheral surface of the toilet bowl 31. There is a problem, and if it sticks, it is troublesome to peel it off. For example, the urine collection tool 10 of the present embodiment extends and spreads out in three directions with the collecting part 11 at the center. , when it is dropped into the toilet bowl 31, it may fall in the spread state as it is. In addition, by falling in a spread state, the falling position in the toilet bowl may not be fixed, and it may shift sideways. Then, for example, even if the collection part 11 or the like is submerged in the water accumulated in the toilet bowl 31, part of the tip frame portion 12b and the tip portion 13a touches the inner peripheral surface of the toilet bowl 31, and the adhesive layer 15 happens to come into contact with the inner peripheral surface of the toilet bowl 31. It may stick to the inner surface. Even if it sticks like this, the collection part 11 and other parts will be water-soluble/hydrolyzed, and although the urine collection tool 10 as a whole will not remain in the toilet bowl, part of it may not be washed with water.

On the other hand, in the present embodiment, for example, the collecting portion 11 and the like are light and spread out, and the urine collected in the collecting portion 11 is not so heavy as, for example, feces. Even if the toilet bowl falls as it is, there is no adhesive layer 15 in the part where it falls, so even if the peripheral edge touches the inner peripheral surface of the toilet bowl, it will not stick to the inner peripheral surface. After a certain period of time has passed while being in contact with the water of the toilet bowl 31, it can be water-decomposed or dissolved in water and washed with water.

On the other hand, the tip frame portion 12b and the tip portion 13a remaining on the toilet seat 32 can be removed from the toilet seat 32 and discarded. For this disposal, for example, it may be discarded as general garbage, or it may be flushed into the toilet bowl 31 . Since the tip frame part 12b and the tip part 13a are small, the tip frame part 12b and the tip part 13a can be discarded securely in the water pooled in the toilet bowl 31, so that the user can continue diving.

Also, the mark 41 provided on the second band portion 13 has the mark 41a and the line 41b, but it may have only the line 41b. For the sake of convenience, the mark 41 (mark 41a) on the first band portion 12 side and the mark 41 (mark 41a and line 41b) on the second band portion 13 side are different, but they may be the same.

The separating portion is not limited to the mark 41 as in the above-described embodiment, but may be a perforation 42 that guides cutting, as shown in FIG. 6(a), for example. By providing the perforations 42, the predetermined portions of the first band portion 12 and the second band portion 13 can be cut more easily. Further, as shown in the figure, in addition to the perforations 42, if marks (marks 41a) are provided at both ends of the perforations 42, the position of the perforations 42 can be easily recognized.

Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 6(b), for example, the cut-off portion may be provided with a notch portion 43 obtained by cutting the portion where the mark 41a is provided. By providing the notch 43 in this manner, the cutting start portion can be torn more easily. In the illustrated example, the perforations 42 are provided so as to connect the pair of cuts 43 to facilitate cutting, but the perforations may not be provided.
