BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a portable diagnostic device, and more particularly, to a portable diagnostic device capable of performing a test whether a woman is pregnant freely and arbitrarily.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art For example, in a commercially available portable diagnostic apparatus, for example, a diagnostic piece is built in a holder having a transparent diagnostic window on one side thereof, and a rod-shaped urine absorber is installed from one side of the holder. It is configured by inserting the end and contacting the diagnostic piece.
The urine absorber protruding from the holder is covered with a sheath cap.

[0003]

However, such a conventional portable diagnostic device has the following problems. That is, it is usually used with the sheath cap removed, and the holder itself has a linear shape. Thus, when holding the linear holder and bringing the urine absorber into contact with the urine line, it is necessary to hold the holder with the hand bent.
The work is not easy.

The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and an object thereof is to provide a portable diagnostic device which can easily and easily bring a urine ray into contact with a urine absorber during a use period. To do.
