Since the connecting member 72 is integrally molded and fixed to the holder 1, the connecting member 72 extends substantially parallel to the upper surface of the holder 1 on the holder 1 side, and the other side of the connecting member 72 on the winding portion 71 side is 9
It is twisted at 0 degrees and connected to the winding section 71. The connecting member 72 is made of a flexible resin such as polypropylene together with the holder 1, and preferably one surface thereof (outer peripheral surface at the time of winding).
A large number of lateral grooves are provided at regular intervals.

The connecting member 72 can be provided separately from the holder 1 and can be made of a material other than polypropylene as long as it has appropriate flexibility, and the lateral groove on the surface can be omitted. Good.

As shown in FIG. 13, a stopper 7 protruding upward is provided at a lower portion of the end portion of the case cover 50 on the holder 1 side.
3 is provided. The stopper 73 contacts the urine absorber 14 and discharges the urine absorber 14 outward when the holder 1 is retracted and housed in the case cover 50 (see FIG. 15).

On the inner surface of the lower portion of the case cover 50,
A pair of engagement protrusions 75, 75 are provided that engage with the end surface of the holder 1 when the entire holder 1 is housed.

The transparent window 51 provided on the upper surface of the case cover 50 is such that when the holder 1 is housed in the case cover 50 until it is engaged with the engaging projection 75, the transparent window 2 of the holder 1 is accommodated.
It corresponds to a and 2b.

Next, the operation of this embodiment having such a configuration will be described. First, the case cover 50 and the holder 1
The urine line is brought into contact with the urine absorber 14 in a stretched state. After the inspection, the dial unit 71 is rotated to rotate the winding unit 71.
The connection member 72 is wound around. As a result, the connecting member 72 pulls the holder 1 and slides the holder 1 in the case cover 50 until the holder 1 is engaged with the engaging projection 75, and is retracted and accommodated. In this process, the stopper 73 of the case cover 50 relatively moves in the holder 1 and presses the end face of the base end portion of the urine absorber 14 to discharge the urine absorber 14 outward. Further, when the holder 1 is completely housed in the case cover 50 and the holder 1 is engaged with the engagement protrusion 75, the transparent window 51 of the case cover 50 corresponds to the transparent windows 2a and 2b of the holder, and the transparent window 51 of the case cover 50 is removed. The diagnostic result can be confirmed by observing the diagnostic piece 12 in the holder 1 from the outside through the transparent window 51.

Also, the knock portion automatically returns to the position before the ejection.

According to the third aspect of the present invention, the urine absorber can be discharged from the holder without directly touching the urine absorber by simply opening the opening / closing member after the inspection.

According to the fourth aspect of the present invention, by inserting the case cover on the other side of the holder at the time of inspection, the other side of the holder is extended to facilitate use. In addition, the urine absorber can be discharged from the holder without touching it directly by simply pushing the discharge rod into the holder after the inspection. In addition, when the case cover is inserted into the holder one side up to the engaging position after the urine absorber is discharged, the diagnosis result can be confirmed from the outside through the see-through window.

According to the fifth aspect of the invention, by extending the case cover from the holder at the time of inspection, the holder is extended and is easy to use. In addition, by sliding the holder after the inspection is completed and retracting the holder into the case cover, the urine absorber can be discharged from the holder without directly touching the stopper inside the case cover. Further, when the holder reaches the engagement position of the case cover, the diagnostic result can be confirmed through the transparent window of the case cover.

According to the invention of claim 6, the case cover is extended from the holder at the time of inspection, so that the holder is extended and is easy to use. In addition, by rotating the winding unit after the inspection and retracting the holder into the case cover to accommodate the holder, the urine absorber can be discharged from the holder without directly touching the stopper in the case cover.
Further, when the holder reaches the engagement position of the case cover, the diagnostic result can be confirmed through the transparent window of the case cover.
