BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an excrement receiver that is worn mainly by bedridden elderly people, physically handicapped persons, etc., for receiving excrement such as stool and temporarily accommodating it.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art For bedridden elderly people and people with physical disabilities who are unable to walk to the toilet on their own and use them, diapers are the most commonly used for treating urine and stools. It is a diaper cover or a disposable paper diaper. Such a diaper or a paper diaper should be put on a bedridden person, and whenever there is a bowel movement, it should be replaced with a new one as soon as possible.

[0003]

However, there is a chronic shortage of people involved in nursing care for the elderly today, and it is practically difficult to care for a bedridden person. Therefore, for example, in the field of medical care for the elderly, even if an individual has a bowel movement, the diaper or paper diaper is not immediately replaced, but left as it is for a while and replaced at once on a regular basis. I am. However, it is very uncomfortable for the bedridden person from the time of the bowel movement to the simultaneous replacement. In addition, when exchanging diapers and disposable diapers, it takes time and labor to clean the body by wiping off excrement adhering to the body. growing.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and when a bedridden person has a bowel movement,
A body that minimizes the contact of excrement with the body to reduce the discomfort of bedridden people as much as possible, and the labor of replacement as much as possible to reduce the burden on the caregiver as much as possible. An object is to provide a wearable excrement receptor.

[0005]

A body-worn excrement receiver according to a first aspect of the present invention is entirely formed of a flexible material and has a foldable bag-shaped excrement container. At least the inner surface or the outer surface of the excrement storage portion is formed of a water resistant material, an opening is formed on one surface, and an adhesive is applied to the outer surface.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the excrement receiver according to the first aspect, the excrement accommodating portion is formed in a bellows shape that expands and contracts in a direction intersecting a surface on which the opening is formed. And

According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the excrement receiver according to the first aspect or the second aspect, an open state of the opening is ensured near the opening on the inner side of the surface where the opening is formed, at the time of drying. It is characterized in that a shutter means for accommodating and swelling when water is absorbed and closing the opening is attached.

In the excrement receptor of the invention according to claim 1 having the above-mentioned structure, the opening formed on one surface is directed so as to be located at a predetermined portion of the body of a bedridden person, and the one surface formed with the opening. It is attached to the body by the adhesive applied to the body and is held so as not to be displaced with respect to a predetermined part of the body. At this time, since the entire excrement receptor is formed of a flexible material, the excrement receptor is attached so that one surface thereof is along the surface of the body. Then, when defecation occurs, the excrement flows into the excrement container through the opening of the excrement receptor. At this time, the excrement container spreads in a bag shape to accommodate the excrement, and since at least the inner surface or the outer surface of the excrement container is formed of a water-resistant material, it does not pass through the material surface of the excrement container. The excrement does not leak out, and since the one side of the excrement receptor that has the opening is attached to the body with an adhesive, the excrement in the excrement storage part flows out through the opening. Less likely to spread around. Further, since the excrement container is foldable, for example, as in the invention according to claim 2, it has a bellows shape that expands and contracts in a direction intersecting with the surface on which the opening is formed. Not bulky.

In the excrement receptor of the invention according to claim 3,
When defecation has not been performed yet, and the shutter means attached near the opening on the inside of the one side where the opening is formed is dry, the opening is in the open state and there is defecation.
The excrement flows into the excrement container through the opening. During this defecation, the shutter means absorbs the water content of the excrement and swells, and the opening is closed by the swollen shutter means. As a result, it is possible to prevent the excrement from flowing back from the inside of the waste container through the opening, and also to prevent the odor from being emitted from the inside of the waste container to some extent.
