Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a urinary device configured to be used by a sick or elderly person (hereinafter simply referred to as a sick person in this specification) while lying down.

(Prior art) Traditionally, urinary devices used while a patient is lying down have been designed to be easy to use while the patient is lying down, and do not stain the patient's clothes or sheets when used. The condition is that it is a thing.

Although there have been various types of urinary devices of this type, none of them completely satisfy the above conditions, and while urinary devices for men are one thing, urinary devices specifically aimed at women are Due to the physical characteristics of the urinating area, it is difficult to collect urine into a urinating device without leaking it onto clothes, sheets, etc., and to date, no completely satisfactory device has been provided.

Furthermore, in addition to the above-mentioned conditions, recently, in consideration of the dignity and privacy of the patient as a human being, patients can use it themselves without asking a nurse, and in view of the shortage of staff in hospitals and homes, nurses, etc. However, there is a growing demand for products that can be used repeatedly without having to be washed each time, and that can be easily disposed of after each use.

By the way, under the above-mentioned circumstances, the newest urinary device currently available consists of a receiver R that is placed on the body, a urine storage tank P', and a connecting hose H that connects these, as shown in Figure 8. As shown in FIG. 8, the receiver R for women is a cylindrical body with an oval cross section, one end 1D' is open, the other end 1E' is formed with a hose connection part, and the upper part has a grip part 1B'. , a receiver frame 1' having a stand 2' formed at its lower part, and a contact part 6' that is attached to the opening of one end 1D' of the receiver frame and comes into contact with the urination part of the body. . Also,
For men, as shown in Figure 9, the receiver R is a cylindrical body with an oval cross section, one end 1D' is open, the other end 1E' is formed with a hose connection part, and the upper part is formed with a grip part 1B'. It becomes. When using it, if it is for women, use the upper grip part with one hand.
B', and place the opening of the abutment part 6' on the urinating part of your crotch area.For men, on the other hand, hold the upper grip part 1B' with one hand and press the receiver R. Insert the penis into the opening.

Incidentally, in the case of a woman's receiver R, the receiver R is supported on the futon by a stand section 2' at the lower part thereof.

(Problem to be solved by the invention) However, in the case of the above-mentioned urinary device for women, it is a cantilever type, that is, the grip part on the upper part of the receiver
Hold only B' and press the lower contact part against your body.
In order to make contact, it is necessary to apply a rotational moment to a point of application that is lined up in a straight line with the point of force, thereby pressing it toward the body. For this reason, it is difficult to bring the contact part 6' into close contact with the skin around the urination area in the groin area, and the adhesion (pressure force) is often insufficient especially in the lower part of the groin (anus side) which is farthest from the point of force. Urine leaked from the lower part, staining the patient's clothes, sheets, etc.

On the other hand, in the case of a device for men, the person using the device must hold the receiver with one hand so that the hose connection side of the receiver is always at a low position, which causes stress and mental and physical fatigue during use.

In addition, nurses must clean the contact part of dirty urinary equipment each time they are used, or they cannot be used.
Furthermore, when a certain amount of urine accumulates in the tank, the nurse has to throw away the urine in the tank and clean the tank, connecting hose, etc. In addition, the patient's soiled clothes and sheets had to be changed and the soiled items had to be washed.

This situation imposes not only a physical burden on the patient every time they urinate, but also a mental burden, which is a problem for the patient who requires bed rest, and also forces nurses to deal with the burden. I was getting used to it.

This idea was developed in view of the above-mentioned current situation.
To relieve patients and caregivers from the above-mentioned pain by providing a urination device that can be used easily and with little force by patients when urinating and does not stain the patients' clothes, sheets, etc.

(Means for solving the problem) The urination device according to the present invention is a urination device consisting of a receiver and a urine storage bag that can be freely attached to and detached from the receiver.
The receiver includes a receiver main body configured to have at least both ends open and hold a urine storage bag in the open end, a stand portion formed at a lower part of the receiver, and both sides of either the receiver main body or the stand portion. The urine storage bag is a bag body with an opening on only one side, and the opening has elasticity and hygroscopicity, and its shape makes it suitable for body contact. A contact part having a three-dimensional shape that fits the contact part and is formed so as to be attachable to the opening part of the receiver main body is attached to the receiver body, and is configured to prevent urine from leaking during use. do.

(Function) The present urination device having the above configuration has a grip part rotatably attached to either the receiver body or the stand part, so it is difficult to use the urination device with both hands or one hand and the opposite foot. This allows you to press the urinary device toward your body from both sides without any force, and the opening of the urine storage bag has an elastic and hygroscopic abutment part with a three-dimensional shape that adapts to the shape of your body to prevent leakage. Since the receiver is attached to the receiver from both sides, the abutment part comes into close contact with the urinating part of the body or its surrounding area, and urine does not leak out of the receiver. Then, the urine stored in the urine storage bag may be removed from the receiver and disposed of in a predetermined waste disposal box or the like. Therefore, the patient can reuse the bag hygienically by attaching a new urine storage bag to the receiver, and nurses are also freed from the trouble of washing urinary equipment, dirty clothes, sheets, etc.

(Example) Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a receiver of a female urination device according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing a urine storage bag. In the figure, R indicates a receiver and P indicates a urine storage bag.

First, the structure of the receiver R will be explained based on FIG. 1. In this embodiment, the receiver R is molded from plastic, and can be roughly divided into a receiver body 1 and a lower part of the receiver body. It consists of a stand part 2. The receiver main body 1 has a cylindrical body 1A having an oval cross section with both ends open, and protrusions 1a formed on both sides of the cylindrical body 1A.
A grip portion 1B is pin-bonded to the protrusion 1a and is configured to be rotatable from approximately directly behind to directly to the side of the receiver main body 1 in FIG. A long groove-shaped through hole 1f having a planar curvature is formed at the tip of the gripping portion 1B, and the gripping portion 1B is configured to be gripped by inserting the fingers of the hand therein. In addition, the edge 1c on the side of the gripping part 1B itself is such that when the gripping part is rotated right sideways with respect to the receiver main body 1 (see Fig. 1), the edge 1c is attached to the patient's buttocks. It is configured to approximately match the curve of the section. Further, the outer edge portion 1d of the tip of the grip portion 1B is formed of a curve of the heel portion of the body, that is, a curve with a curvature of about 30 to 50 mmR (see FIG. 1). The cut end of the front opening 1b of the cylindrical body 1A is formed into a three-dimensional shape that approximately matches a woman's crotch area.

Further, in order to improve stability, the bottom of the stand section 2 is configured to be wider than its upper cross section, and its front end is located behind the front end of the opening of the receiver main body, and the width is narrower at the front side. It is shaped like a flat wedge that widens at the rear.

On the other hand, the urine storage bag P is as shown in FIG.
Bag 3 with an opening on only one side is 7 to 10 cm on the opening side.
It is bent to a certain degree so that the cross-sectional area becomes narrower at the bent portion 3b (see FIG. 4), and the cylindrical body 4 is attached to the bent portion. The above-mentioned attachment is carried out by, for example, a method such as fusion bonding so that the above-mentioned urine storage bag is not damaged or easily damaged. In addition, a string 5 for opening and closing the bag 3 is attached to the tip of the bag 3.
is attached in a loop. And the above string 5
A fastener T is attached to the. Further, the cut shape of the front edge of the cylindrical body 4 has a three-dimensional shape that allows the cylindrical body 4 to approximately match (fit) the groin area of a woman, similar to the front opening of the cylindrical body of the receiver main body. is formed. In particular, the lower portion is shaped so that it particularly protrudes at the lower end so that it can be embedded into the body for complete contact. The front edge of the cylinder 4 is made of a hygroscopic and elastic material (for example,
A contact portion 6 made of a material such as a sponge or a sanitary napkin for women is attached. The cylinder body 4
The size of the cylindrical body 4 is set so that when the cylindrical body 4 is used in contact with a woman's groin area, the opening of the cylindrical body 4 covers the area from above the urethral opening to near the anus.

When in use, the urine storage bag P is inserted into the opening 1D of the receiver R as shown in FIG. It is used by bending it to the outside of the receiver body so that it wraps around (covers) the front edge of the receiver.

Below, we will explain this urinary device with reference to Figure 3.For sick people who can use both hands freely,
With your knees slightly bent, place this urination device in front of your groin from the lower space, and hold the grip part 1B with both hands.
, and pull the contact portion 6 into close contact with the body so that the opening formed by the contact portion 6 covers the area from above the urethral meatus to near the anus. At this time, since the edge 1c of the gripping portion is configured to approximately match the curve of the patient's buttocks, the gripping portion can be gripped with both hands. Further, the front end of the stand section 2 is configured to be located behind the front end of the opening of the receiver main body, and the abutment section can be tilted relative to the body, making it easier to fit the stand section 2 in close contact with the body. Since gripping portions are attached to both sides of the cylinder 1A, the point of action is located on the line between the two force points, and the force drawn by the gripping portion effectively (directly) acts on the contact portion.

If the user urinates in this state, the urine will fly into the cylindrical body 4 without leaking and will be stored in the urine storage bag P which is integrally connected to the cylindrical body 4. At this time, the shape of the contact part of the urination device is formed to approximately match the shape of the groin area, and the body and the urination device are connected through the elastic and hygroscopic contact part attached to the urination device. Since it is firmly attached, it will not leak onto the sick person's clothes, sheets, etc. unlike conventional urinary devices.

In addition, even if a patient is disabled with one hand and the opposite leg is free, they can grasp one grip with their free hand and fold the other grip (in Figure 3, the bag body side It can be used by touching the back of the free heel of one foot to the curved outer edge 1d of the tip of the grip (by rotating the grip) and pressing the grip toward the abutting side using the bending force of the foot.

When urination is completed, the urine collects at the bottom of the bag 3 on the futon, and the patient releases the grip, places the urination device on the futon, and turns the folded part 3a of the bag 3 upside down. The contact part 6 is wrapped inside the bag body 3, and in this state, the fastener T attached to the string 5 is tightened. Next, the urine storage bag P may be removed from the receiver R and hung on a predetermined hook (not shown) attached to or near the bed. Therefore, after urinating, the dirty contact portion is wrapped in a clean bag, so there is no need to worry about soiling the bedding or the like when taking it out of the futon. Furthermore, even when this urination device is placed on a futon, the bottom area of the stand portion is large and stable, so post-urination treatment can be performed with both hands or one hand with confidence.

Instead of the grip part 1B in the above embodiment, the fifth
As shown in the figure, a U-shaped grip part 1B' that matches the cross section of the thigh is provided, and when the leg is stretched out,
Alternatively, it may be configured so that it can be rotated around the attachment pin 8 so that it can be used even when the user is standing on his/her knees as shown by the two-dot chain line.

In addition, in the above embodiment, if a cleaning nozzle is installed on the upper part of the receiver body of the urination device, and a cleaning switch is provided on the grip, etc., after urinating, the area contaminated with urine, such as the vicinity of the urethral opening, can be cleaned. can do.

Further, the stand portion or the like may be provided with a slide mechanism for adjusting the height, and a setting means comprising a setting pin, a setting hole, and the like.

This urination device can also be used by a sick person who cannot move at all, with the assistance of a nurse, just like a conventional urination device, by folding the grips on both sides. Furthermore, if the bag is transparent and has a scale, it is possible to measure the urine of a patient.

Next, an explanation will be given with reference to FIG. 6, which shows an embodiment of the present invention applied to a male urination device.

In the figure, R is the receiver. For men, the receiver R includes a stand part 2 and a receiver main body 1 attached to the stand part 2 so as to be rotatable back and forth.
It becomes more. The receiver main body 1 has a generally U-shaped groove-shaped body with the upper part of the cylinder open. On both sides of the lower part of the stand part, grip parts are rotatable about attachment pins 7. By changing the position of the pin 7, the height of the receiver body can be adjusted according to the physique of the patient.

The urine storage bag P is the same as the one for women described above, and the urine storage bag P is configured to be set in the upper part of the U-shaped groove of the receiver body 1.

Therefore, when using this urination device, set the urine storage bag P in the receiver R (see Figure 7),
Depending on the physique of the patient, the attachment pin 7 is reset or the receiver main body 1 is rotated relative to the stand portion 2 as shown by the arrow in FIG. 7 to find the most suitable angle for use. That is, the urine storage bag P is set in the receiver R, and the lower surface of the penis is brought into contact with the lower contact portion 6a of the urine storage bag, and the tip of the penis is positioned within the urine storage bag. . When used in this way, urination can damage the sick person's clothes and
It won't stain your sheets, etc.

It goes without saying that this urinary device can be used not only for the above-mentioned patients but also for recreational use such as in camps. In such a case, it is preferable to use an opaque urine storage bag.

(Effects of the invention) As explained above, by using the urination device of the invention, a sick person who can freely move the opposite leg with both hands or one hand can easily relieve himself. Because the patient's dignity and privacy as a human being are not violated,
In addition, if the urine storage bag is replaced with a new one, it can be used repeatedly without having to be washed each time.On the other hand, the patient's clothes, sheets, etc. will not be soiled due to the small use, and the disposal after urination can be done each time as before. Nurses are also freed from heavy labor as they do not have to clean instruments.
