Description

The present invention relates to a urine bag cover for covering a urine bag.

Urine bags (also called urinary catheter bags) used in nursing homes, hospitals, etc. are made of transparent material so that the amount and color of collected urine can be seen from the outside. For this reason, users who use urine bags sometimes feel uncomfortable because they are concerned about what other people, such as visitors or other patients, may notice.

To solve this problem, a urine bag cover has been proposed that covers the urine bag. For example, in Patent Document 1, a transparent part is provided on the front surface of the urine bag so that the amount of urine in the urine bag can be visually recognized, a cover is provided to hide this transparent part, and an opening is provided at the lower end, and urine can be urinated from the urine bag through this opening. Urine bag covers with removable tubes have been proposed.

In order to solve the above problems, one aspect of the present invention has a bag opening at the upper end for putting the urine bag in, and by opening at the vertical center of the front part, it is possible to visually check the amount of urine in the urine bag. The urinary tube of the urine bag can be taken out from the opening, the urine leaking from the urine bag can be stored at the bottom , and the opening extends horizontally, and the urinary tube of the urine bag can be taken out from the opening. The urine bag cover has one of the upper edge and the lower edge covering the other of the upper edge and the lower edge .

According to the present invention, the urine bag can be quickly put in and taken out from the bag opening, and the amount of urine can be quickly checked and urine can be taken out from the opening in the front part. According to the present invention, a urine bag cover that is disposable, inexpensive, and excellent in terms of hygiene can be obtained.

It is a figure which shows the state where the urine bag is covered with the urine bag cover. FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a state in which the front opening of the urine bag cover is opened. FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a state in which the urinary tube of the urine bag is taken out from the opening in the front part of the urine bag cover.

Hereinafter, a urine bag cover according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described based on the accompanying drawings. However, the urine bag cover of the present invention can be embodied in various forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided with the intention that this disclosure will be thorough and thorough, and will fully enable those skilled in the art to understand the invention.

FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of a urine bag cover 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The urine bag cover 1 has a bag opening 2 at the upper end for putting the urine bag in, and an opening 4 that opens at the front part 3 to make it possible to visually check the amount of urine in the urine bag. The urinary tube can be taken out, and the urine leaking from the urine bag can be stored in the bottom part 5.

FIG. 2 shows a front view of the urine bag 11. The urine bag 11 is made of a transparent material. The urine bag 11 has a substantially rectangular shape as a whole when viewed from the front, and has a hole 12 in the center of the upper end for hanging onto something. The urine bag 11 is used with the hole 12 hooked onto something and hung. A urine collection tube 13 for guiding the user's urine to the urine bag 11 is attached to the right side of the upper end of the urine bag 11. A urinary tube 14 is attached to the lower end of the urine bag 11 for draining the urine inside the urine bag 11 to the outside.

As shown in FIG. 1, the urine bag cover 1 of this embodiment is designed to cover this urine bag 11. The urine bag cover 1 is made of a soft material, such as a sheet of synthetic resin such as vinyl chloride film or polyethylene film. The urine bag cover 1 may be made of a sheet of deodorizing fabric. The urine bag cover 1 is translucent or opaque so that the urine bag 11 can be hidden.

The opening 4 in the front part 3 of the urine bag cover 1 extends horizontally. The upper edge 4a of the opening 4 covers the lower edge 4b. Note that the lower edge 4b of the opening 4 may cover the upper edge 4a.

The urine bag cover 1 includes a first sheet 7 that constitutes a portion above the opening 4 of the front section 3, and a second sheet 8 that constitutes a section below the opening 4 of the front section 3 and the back section 6. We are prepared.

Both ends of the first sheet 7 in the width direction and both ends of the second sheet 8 in the width direction are joined by heat fusion, adhesion, etc. (see the shaded area). Similarly, both widthwise ends of the portion of the second sheet 8 below the opening 4 and both widthwise ends of the back surface 6 of the second sheet 8 are joined by heat fusion, adhesive, etc. (See the shaded area). The second sheet 8 is bent at the lower end, and the portion of the second sheet 8 below the opening 4 and the back surface 6 are continuous. In FIG. 1, in order to clearly show the first sheet 7 and the second sheet 8, the state before they are joined is shown. Note that a gusset may be provided between the front part 3 and the back part 6.

A pair of strips 9 are attached to the upper end of the urine bag cover 1. The base end of the strip 9 is joined to the upper part of the back surface 6 by heat fusion, adhesive, or the like. The tip of the strip 9 can be attached to and removed from the upper part of the front part 3. For example, a hook-and-loop fastener 9a is attached to the tip of the strip 9. A hook-and-loop fastener that cooperates with the hook-and-loop fastener 9a of the strip 9 is also attached to the upper part of the front part 3. In addition, the base end of the strip 9 may be joined to the upper part of the front surface part 3, and the front end part of the strip 9 may be made removably attachable to the upper part of the back surface part 6. Moreover, the number of strips 9 may be one.

FIG. 3 shows a state in which the urine bag 11 is covered with the urine bag cover 1. In FIG. 3, the urine bag 11 is indicated by a chain line. The tip of the strip 9 is removed from the front part 3, and the urine bag 11 is placed into the bag opening 2 at the upper end of the urine bag cover 1. Thereafter, by attaching the tip of the strip 9 to the front part 3, the urine bag cover 1 will be caught on the urine bag 11. Since the urine bag 11 is covered with the urine bag cover 1, the urine bag 11 is not visible from the outside.

FIG. 4 shows a state in which the opening 4 of the front part 3 of the urine bag cover 1 is opened vertically. When the opening 4 is opened up and down, the amount of urine and the scale of the urine bag 11 can be visually checked.

FIG. 5 shows the state in which the urinary tube 14 of the urine bag 11 is taken out from the opening 4. By opening the opening 4 and taking out the urinary tube 14, the urine in the urine bag 11 can be discharged. There is no opening in the bottom 5 of the urine bag cover 1 for removing the urinary tube 14. This prevents urine from falling onto the floor. When urine accumulates in the bottom part 5 of the urine bag cover 1 and becomes unsanitary, the urine bag cover 1 is replaced.

The effects of the urine bag cover of this embodiment will be explained below.

According to the urine bag cover 1 of this embodiment, the urine bag 11 can be quickly taken in and out from the bag opening 2, and the amount of urine can be quickly checked and urine can be taken out from the opening 4 of the front part 3. A urine bag cover 1 that is disposable, inexpensive, and excellent in hygiene can be obtained.

Since the upper edge 4a of the opening 4 of the front part 3 covers the lower edge 4b, it is possible to reliably prevent the urine bag 11 from being seen from the outside.

Since the urine bag cover 1 includes the strip 9, the urine bag cover 1 can be easily hooked onto the urine bag 11.

The urine bag cover 1 includes a first sheet 7 that constitutes a portion above the opening 4 of the front section 3, and a second sheet 8 that constitutes a section below the opening 4 of the front section 3 and the back section 6. Therefore, the urine bag cover 1 can be easily manufactured.
