Abstract
This invention is directed to a urine collector for women capable of collecting the urine way out trajectories of the female urinary meatus, being also capable of providing a more predetermined drainage direction of the collected urine, so that it can be directed by the user into a excretory collector. The object of this invention is to provide a kind of urinary collector different to the ones currently on the market, allowing the user to urinate in more comfortable positions, for example, to urinate in a standing position without dripping and spattering over the user herself, permitting in this way to decrease the urinary retention and the exposure of the user to insalubrious lavatories.
Description
"COLLECTOR AND REDIRECCIDETER OF URINARY FLOW"
Inventor: C.P. CARLOS ALFREDO GÓMEZ ACEVEDO, Mexican citizen residing in Rancho Jiguingo No. 25 Prado Coapa México D.F. 14350.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION.
Urinary collectors have been known for thousands of years, the most common being the "potty". Of course there is the well-known toilet or toilet, connected to running water that eliminates the excreta through its connection to the drain, invented around 1890. There are urinary collectors for patients who are in bed, placing the penis inside the hole called "duck" "or under the female genitals, known as" comfortable ", storing the urine of these patients to be emptied later. Finally, the urinary collectors that are used in spacecraft work by aspirating the urine when placing the entrance hole of these around the exit orifice of the urine. Currently there are urinary collectors whose function lies in containing urine during and after urination. Such containment of urine is usually done with some purpose, be it its study, its volumetric measurement or simply the transitory collection of said urine when the user has some difficulty in accessing a toilet. None of these urinary collectors is designed to allow females to remain standing at the time of urination since the current collectors are not able to collect urine without spills as the wearer's trunk is in a prone position to the vertical and simultaneously provide said urine with a
predetermined direction of exit through the collector to deposit it in a toilet and thus avoid that the urine stream coming from the urethra drains over the person, overflows or splashes. Such a functioning characteristic is necessary when the user, due to the unhealthy conditions of the bathroom in which she finds herself, wishes to urinate as far as possible from the toilet to prevent her body or her clothes from touching the toilet, the floor or the adjacent furniture. how to expose as little as possible to splashes caused by your own urine when falling. In order to eliminate this and other drawbacks, the development of the present urinary flow collector and redirector was intended, which is intended to be protected by means of the present application, since it is a urine collection device that collects the urinary stream from the urine stream. the female urethra, temporarily stores said urine, and drains it in a direction controllable by the user. Such redirection of the urine stream that leaves the collector, provides the user with comfort by allowing him to urinate while standing, a very desirable circumstance when the hygienic conditions of the bath are inadequate or urine needs to be evacuated to the ground level. Its innovative disposition of means makes it an easy object to transport and use, helping to solve additionally the saturation of the female public toilets by reducing the time of use of the toilet by the user. Additionally said urinary flow collector and redirector, by allowing the user a standing position and less exposed to the sanitary conditions of the environment at the time of urination, could encourage women not to suppress urinary urinary urges because of the lack of suitable toilets. Such an increase in the frequency of urination is one of the most medically proven factors in the protection of the urinary tract against urinary tract infections in women. Because the urinary flow collector and redirector produces a
decrease in the speed of impact of the urine stream against the toilet, the risk of suffering a rebound splash in users who wish to urinate sitting but using said collector and redirector is diminished, since the aforementioned urinary flow collector and redirector covers the genitourinary region, thus protecting this region from splashes that could lead to infections by germs from the sanitary.

Figure 10 is a view in sagittal section through the midline of the same preferred form of the urinary flow collector and redirector during use, as well as of the user, with the characteristic that in this case the lower orifice of said collector and urinary flow redirector maintains a posterior position with respect to the user. Figure 11 is a front view of the same preferred form of the urinary flow collector and redirector during use as well as the user. Figure 12 is a perspective view of another preferred form of the urinary flow collector and redirector, preferably more rigid than that shown in the previous figures and where the anterior wall is missing. Figure 13 is a front view of the preferred form shown in the previous figure of the user's urinary flow collector and redirector, which is sufficiently rigid to not collapse when pressed by the thighs or hands in an appropriate manner , it can be held, as shown, in addition to manually, between both thighs of the user, without their dimensions being altered sufficiently so that said collector and urinary flow redirector will lose its function.
Figure 14 is a perspective view of the preferred form of the urine flow manifold and redirector shown in Figures 1 to 11 to which liquid absorbent materials have been added at the upper edges for the drying of debris. urine, preferably in the urogenital region of the user. Figure 15 is a perspective view of the preferred form of the urine flow manifold and redirector shown in Figures 1 through 11, in which liquid absorbent material is included therein. Figure 16 is a perspective view of the preferred form of the urinary flow manifold and redirector shown in Figures 12 and 13, to which an anterior wall has been added. Figure 16B shows a front view of the ejection portion added with multiple orifices and a device for urinalysis. Figure 17 is a perspective view of the preferred form of the urinary flow manifold and redirector shown in Figures 12, 13 and 16, which has preferably been sterilized and has the ability to seal the upper and lower orifice, in addition to having the characteristic, independently of being able to close hermetically, of being formed by a rigid part that helps to sustain and properly position the urinary flow collector and redirector as well as to keep the channel of the urinary flow collector and redirector open, especially the upper hole. Figure 17B shows an anterior view of the ejection portion, in which a surface impregnated with chemical reagents for the study of the components contained in the urine and the closing mechanism of the portion is included in the bottom or channel bed. ejector Figure 18 is a perspective view of another preferred form of the urinary flow redirector where it shows the flexural capacity of the
urinary flow router, characteristic that allows to vary the direction of exit of the urinary flow of the redirector, and another characteristic independent of the previous ones shown in this Figure consists in the capacity of the redirector to connect by means of its lower orifice to another conduit, which It preferably drains to a urinary collector. Figure 19 is a perspective view of another preferred form of the urinary flow collector and redirector showing the addition of extensions on its inner surface. Figure 20 is a perspective view of another preferred form of the urinary flow collector and redirector characterized by having the free edge of the tabs without attaching to the walls of the urinary flow collector and redirector. With reference to said Figures, the urinary flow collector and redirector (No. 1) shown in the Figures, preferably is made of any material that suits the required operating characteristics, such as all urine-impermeable materials. and also with materials that can be made waterproof by being covered by materials that are made of the aforementioned urine, as well as by walls formed by different layers of different materials. Preferably made of paper, as well as cardboard, for which once it has been smoothed it is given the desired shape by bends, which can also include gluing and even stapling, which of course can be waterproof when impregnated with waterproofing, such as silicone or waxes, of course the redirecting device (No. 1) can also be preferably manufactured with plastic materials, then being preferably manufactured by thermoforming or by injection. FIGURE 1 shows a preferred configuration of the manifold (No. 1) in a side view of the
get out of your package. Note the ease of packaging and transfer the lateral dimensions are minimal and it will be necessary for the user to manually give the most suitable form for its use, which is shown in the following figure. FIGURE 2 shows the same preferred configuration of the redirector (No. 1) already with the spatial shape given by the user. It should therefore be noted that the lateral dimensions of the router (No. 1) are increased in this configuration when the user inserts at least one finger in both conduits (No. 2) formed by the tabs (No. 3) and the walls (No. No. 4), separating the inner face (No. 5) from the walls (No. 4) that form the body (No. 6) of the redirecting device (No. 1), in order to give the appropriate spatial form to said redirector (No. 1) to be located near and below the urogenital region of the user and thus operate efficiently, as shown in FIGURE 4, 9 and 10, in which the middle and index fingers are also inserted in the conduits (No. 2), are separated from each other. As shown in all the Figures, said redirector (No.l) is characterized by at least one body (No. 6) forming at least one channel (No. 7), which consists of at least one intercepting portion and urine collection (No. 8), a conductive portion (No. 9) of said urine and at least one ejection portion (No. 10) for the drainage of said urine, the purpose of said redirecting device (No. when the collector portion (No. 8) is placed next to and inferior to the exit end of the urethra of the user, also called urethral meatus, that of catching the urine as it exits through the lower end of the urethra, passing through the urethra. hole formed by the labia majora of the vulva and fall inside (No. 11) of the redirector (No.l), then draining the urine flow through the internal slopes (No. 12) of the body (No. 6) towards the ejector portion (No. 10) of said redirector (No. 1), providing the urinary flow of
a foreseeable direction of fall and also distancing said flow or urinary jet from the user. As shown in FIGURES 1 to 8 and 11, in a preferred form of said redirector (No. 1), the redirector consists of side flanges (No. 3) that adhere to its free edge (No. 13) to the external surface (No. 14) of the redirecting member. Of course, said tabs (No. 3) can also adhere to the internal surface (No. 15) of the redirecting device (No.l). Note that as shown in FIGURE 4 said tabs (No. 3) serve for the insertion of the fingers in the ducts or handles (No. 2) that form the aforementioned tabs (No. 3) with the walls (No. ), in order to keep the collecting portion (No. 8) open, in addition to allowing the placement of the redirecting device with the edges (No. 16) of the collecting portion (No. 8), as shown in FIGS. 11 around the urethra, without necessarily the mentioned edges (No. 16) of the collecting portion (No. 8) have to be in contact with the epidermis of the vulvar region of the user. For more efficient use in case the redirector has handles (No. 2), as shown in FIGS. 1 to ll, 14,15, 18 to 20, prior to urination, with the pelvis of the user preferably in a vertical position, the collecting portion (No. 8) is placed coinciding with the vulva and the index and middle finger of the same hand inserted separately are placed in each handle or duct (No. 2) of the urinary flow redirector. (No. 1) placing the edges (No. 16) of the collecting portion (No. 8) in contact with the labia majora of the vulva, in order to hold the redirector (No. 1) in position and ensure that the portion collection (No. 8) is kept open at the time of urination and coincides with the urethral meatus of the female urethra and with the orifice formed by the labia majora. Regardless of whether the redirector (No. 1) has tabs (No. 3), the ejector portion (No.
H * preferably maintains an anterior and inferior position with respect to the upper orifice (No. 8) when micturition is to be performed standing up and facing an excreta collector. By collecting the flow of urine on the internal slopes (No. 15), it is possible to unify the direction of said flow by draining it through the conduit (No. 9) to the ejector portion (No. 10) thanks to the concurrence from the urine to the expelling portion (No. 10), thus allowing a redirection of the urinary flow that allows the user to obtain a predictable direction of the urinary flow and usually forward and downward of the ejection portion (No. 10) , as well as a decrease in the initial velocity of exit of the poplar through the urethra when hitting it with said internal surfaces (No. 15), which of course may have roughness to further decelerate the flow of urine. Note that as a preferred feature, the channel (No. 9) is deep and with intertidal surfaces (No. 15) with descending slope for urine, which decreases the risk of overflows and splashes in case the inlet intensity of the urine to the body (No. 6) is elevated. With such flow characteristics, the wearer can urinate standing up and with the ability to direct the flow or stream of urine leaving the redirector (No.l) away from it and in a predetermined direction, preferably into a toilet or toilet. Of course, if the client so prefers, she can urinate by tending to the sitting position and keeping the redirector (No. 1) in the position already described to avoid splashing from the toilet on the vulva as shown in FIGURE 9 and 10. Note, as shown in FIGURES 7 and 8, that the aforementioned tabs (No. 3) form when adhering to the walls (No. 4) of the redirector (No.l) the conduit (No. 2) that in its ends has a front hole (No. 17) and a rear hole (No. 18), being possible of course the
insertion of the fingers initially through the posterior orifice (No. 18) and in the direction toward the anterior conduit (No. 17) so that the user can place the redirector (No.l) with the ejector portion (No. posterior direction, as shown in FIGURE 10 to avoid the risk of splashes to the vulva when the user has decided to urinate in a semi-sitting or sitting position, being indicated in the latter position the silhouette of the thighs of the user by the lines dotted Such capabilities of the urinary flow redirector (No.l) therefore allow the user to collect their urine when it exits through the orifice formed by the labia majora of the vulva, preventing urine from dripping or splashing the lower extremities. the time it provides the flow of urine at its exit from the redirecting (No.l) of a foreseeable direction that allows it to capture and reorient the direction of exit of the jet preferably away from it, as well as and into the interior of excreta collectors such as toilets and toilets. Therefore, as shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, HY 13, said urinary flow redirector (No.l) is also characterized in that its collecting portion (No. 8) may have preferably flexible edges (No. 16). and elastics to facilitate the formation of a seal with the pelvic epidermis surrounding the urethra, this coupling preferably having the characteristics of a seal capable of preventing the passage of urine between said edges (No. 16) of the collecting portion (No 8) and the epidermis of the user. As shown in FIGS. 8, 10, 12 and 13, it is important to note that preferably the redirector (No. 1) is constituted for descriptive purposes by a rear wall (No. 19), two side walls (No. 20). ), left (No. 21) and right (No.22), a bottom (No. 23), a collector or upper portion (No. 8), an expelling or lower portion (No. 10) and
optionally it may lack the anterior wall (No. 24), as shown in FIGURES 12 and 13. With reference to FIGURES 12 and 13, there is shown another preferred configuration (No. 25) of the redirector (No 1), characterized by the lack of eyelashes (No. 3). In this case the material is preferably rigid enough to be supported by the compression force exerted by the wearer's thighs on their external surfaces (No. 14), as shown in FIGURE 13. This other preferred configuration of the urinary flow redirector, as shown in FIGURE 13 dispenses with the handles or ducts (No. 2) from which the user's fingers are used to keep the collecting portion (No. 8) open, the body (No 6) and the ejector portion (No. 10) and in return consists of a more rigid configuration that permanently keeps all the portions (Nos. 8 and 10) open and the channel (No. 7) open and permeable. Such a feature allows the redirector (No. 1) to be held between the thighs of the user, as well as manually without, therefore, its operating principles being different from those of the redirector (No. 1) with handles. Note in FIGURE 16 that in this configuration it may also be preferable to dispense with the front wall (No. 24) of the redirector (No. l). Of course, this configuration can also be held with the hands when they are applied to the body ( No. 6) of the redirector (No. 1) without that said redirector collapsing. Of course, the urinary flow collector and redirector (No. 1) can be rigid regardless of whether they have handles or not. Note that the urinary flow collector and redirector (No. 1) has the ability to separate the labia majora from each other by keeping the edges (No. 16) approximated and placing said edges (No. 16) in contact with the labia. skin of the mentioned lips, to then move away
between them the mentioned edges (No. 16). Said edges can be separated from each other by separating the fingers inserted in the handles or lateral conduits (No. 2), as well as by means of the force exerted by the body (No. 6) to recover their original position with separate edges. due to the rigidity and elasticity properties of the materials of said body (No. 6). FIGURE 14 shows a redirector (No. 1) with tabs (No. 3) which is characterized by having a liquid-absorbent material (No. 26) on the edges (No. 16) of the collection portion (No 8) for the manual drying of the remains of the urine. Of course, a redirector (No. 1) of the type that does not have tabs (No. 3) can also be added with liquid-absorbent material (No. 26) at the edges (No. 16) of the collecting portion (No. ). FIGURE 15 shows a router (No. 1) that has very high liquid absorbency material (No. 27), of the type used in diapers and feminine towels, with the purpose that the redirector (No. 1) can collect the urine and trap it inside (No. 11) when it is not convenient to drain the aforementioned urine out of the collector (No. 1) Of course, the characteristic presented in this figure can be added in any of the different configurations of redireccionadores (No. 1) present in this document. FIGURE 16 shows a redirector (No. 1) without side tabs (No.3) but that has an anterior wall (No. 24). Of course the redirector (No.l) without tabs (No. 3), is held by the user's thighs or hands. In the configuration shown in FIGURE 16 the redirector (No. 1) may have an ejector portion (No. 10) with multiple lower orifices (No. 28). Additionally, a measuring device (No. 29) of urine properties has been placed in the interior (No. 11) of the redirector (No. 1) for study. In FIGURE 16B an anterior view of the ejector portion (No. 10) is shown
added with multiple holes (No. 28). With respect to FIGURE 17 there is another preferred configuration of redirector (No. 1), characterized by having a piece (No.30) sufficiently rigid to keep open the collecting portion (No. 8), the channel (No. 7) and the ejector portion (No. 10) to 5, although the material of the body (No. 6) of the redirector (No. 1) could be less rigid and therefore unable to maintain the proper dimensions for its operation without the aforementioned rigid piece (No. 30). Additionally, this configuration can also be characterized in that it is possible to hermetically close the collector (No. 8) and the ejector (No. 10) portions thanks to the
cepe mechanism (No. 31) that exists near the edges of the mentioned portions (No. 8 and 10) to collect urine for medical study purposes. Such a closing mechanism can be by glue or by a contact closure mechanism. Additionally, as shown in FIGURE 17B, which is an earlier view of the ejector portion (No. 10) in which it is included in
the bed or bottom (No. 23) of the channel (No. 7) a test strip (No. 32) for the study of the chemical components of the urine. Note that the existence of the rigid piece (No. 30) and the blind mechanism (No. 31) in the portions (No. 8 and 10) as well as the test strip (No. 32) are independent of each other in their addition to the redirector (No.l). Of course, the rigid part (No. 30) must
allow the edges of the upper hole to approach each other, either when being removed or when being fractured along its longitudinal axis, which in the case of the particular configuration presented in FIGURE 17, coincides with the dotted line (No. 33). FIGURE 18 shows a redirector configuration (No. 1) whose ejector portion (No. 10) is able to connect to
a conduit (No. 34), which in turn may be connected to a urinary urine storage manifold (No. 35). Note that the ejector portion
> ~? *
(No. 10) is able to alter its position thanks to the elasticity of the body (No. 6) of the redirector (No. 1), thus altering the direction of exit of the urine through the redirector (No. 1) . As shown in FIGURE 19, the urinary flow redirector (No.l) can optionally be provided with internal projections (No. 36) on the internal surfaces, generating a resistance to flow, to further reduce its speed. Of course said projections can optionally function to direct the urinary flow through the channel (No.7). FIGURE 20 shows a urinary flow collector and redirector characterized in that its side handles or conduits (No. 2) may not have the free edge (No. 13) of the tabs (No. 3) attached to the walls ( No. 4), this configuration being preferably more rigid than that which has the free edges (No. 13) of the eyelashes (No. 3) adhered to the walls (No. 4). Of course, the redirector (No. 1) may preferably be disposable. In the case of said redirector (No. 1) of a rigid part (No. 30) being added, as exemplified in FIGURE 17, only the redirecting device will preferably be disposable and the rigid part will preferably be washable and reusable. Of course, depending on the characteristics of the manufacturing materials the redirector (No. 1) in any configuration can be washable and reusable. Of course, as shown in FIGURES 14 and 15, both the absorbent materials (No. 26) that are placed on the edges of the collector portion (No. 8), as well as the highly absorbent materials (No. 27) that are placed inside the redirector (No. 1) will be disposable without implying that the redirecting to which they are added also is Of course, the redirecting (No. 1), to have edges (No. 16) in their portion collector (No. 8) attachable to the pelvic epidermis surrounding the formed hole
by the labia majora, is able to collect the urine that is expelled by the urethra and drain it through the ejection portion (No. 10) regardless of the position that keeps the trunk of the user during urination. Of course, to achieve greater efficiency, the urethra and the collecting portion (No.8) should be maintained at a height greater than that of the ejection portion (No.10).
