[0013]

In the above structure, the user can hold the grip portion by hand and aim the urine in the cylindrical body while discharging the urine by himself from the grip portion to the sampling hole located below. .

At this time, since the amount of urine collected is limited to the position of the lower side of the collection hole, the specified amount of urine can be set by the position of the lower side of the collection hole. After the user has discharged a prescribed amount of urine, excess urine leaks from this collection hole, so the collection hole functions as a urine measuring means.

When collecting urine in the urine collector according to the present invention, there is a possibility that urine may leak or adhere to the outer periphery of the cylindrical body other than the collection hole. However, since the upper gripping part and the sampling hole are separated from each other, there is no fear that the urine being discharged, which is aimed at the sampling hole, may get on the finger of the gripping part, and the collector can use this urine collector with peace of mind. it can.

In this case, after collecting the urine, the sheath body is inserted from the lower side of the cylindrical body to close the collection hole to cover the adhered portion of urine and prevent leakage of urine during transportation. it can.

Further, by utilizing the shape peculiar to the present invention, a label for recording the collected data of urine is attached to the grip provided on the upper end of the cylindrical body, or the record item of the collected data is previously recorded on the grip. The described configuration can also be adopted. Further, when the urine collector of the present invention is discarded after the collected urine is inspected, the urine collector with urine left inside is accommodated in the container and the upper end thereof is closed, so that the sanitary disposal is performed. Is possible.

Further, if a reagent for urine test is previously put in the cylinder and the sampling hole and the opening at the upper end are sealed,
By collecting the urine by removing the seal when collecting urine, it is possible to save the labor of introducing the reagent after the urine is collected.
In addition, in some cases, the user can inspect the urine himself at home.
