Description

The invention relates to a disposable bedpan, which is an open tank having a bottom, a side wall and a rim.

DE 69224835 T2 describes a disposable bedpan consisting of an open bowl with a bottom, side walls, a thigh and buttock support device and a flexible plate. The plate carries the entire weight of the user. Through the tensile force generated in this plate, the force of the user's weight is transferred to the vessel.

DE 102007054059 B4 describes a bedpan with a specially formed receiving container and a bottom container. The receptacle covers several areas of the buttocks and pelvis. In addition, a hole for excrement is provided in the central part of the receiving container.

Bunkers consist of several parts.

The objective of this invention was to provide an economically viable, durable disposable bedpan.

This problem is achieved by the characteristics set forth in Claim 1. Useful embodiments of the invention are described below in the anchored claims.

Disposable bed liners, which are open tanks with a bottom, side wall and rim, are particularly robust and economical to manufacture.

To this end, the sections of the side wall are concavities and / or bulges, the section of the concavities and / or bulges decreases towards the edge. The deepening of a disposable bedpan consists of a first zone dedicated to the pelvis and a subsequent extension of the first zone. Further, at least the middle portion of the sidewall of the extension is a higher sidewall in comparison to the rest of the sidewall portions.

The concavities and bulges act as reinforcements for the sidewall as well as the edges. In addition, they form stiffeners that reinforce the disposable vessel. They can be tapered and / or arranged diagonally, so the boat can be easily removed from any of the shaping shapes. In this case, the disposable vessel is one integral part.

The first section of the vessel is the section that supports the patient's pelvis and is particularly intended for collecting solid feces. Convex and / or concave sections of the side wall ensure the stability of the vessel during use. The second section, extending the first section in the direction opposite to the position of the patient's pelvis, serves as a continuation for collecting, in particular, liquid secretions. The increased middle part of the extension allows liquid excrement to enter and accumulate there. In addition, the extension can have a U-shaped backing.

Thus, the disposable bedpan is an open vessel at the top.

A disposable bedpan can be made from cellulose or recycled paper, from cartons, including those containing water-repellent materials. Disposable vessels can have different sidewall thicknesses, thus allowing for use based on patient weight and convenient weight categorization. This also ensures economical production and environmentally friendly disposal. In addition, the thickness of the side wall against which the patient's pelvis rests may be greater than the thickness of the vessel-extending portion. A vessel of this design, made from such materials, provides an economically profitable production and preferential environmental disposal of used devices. After use, the vessel can be easily shredded and disposed of using the existing sewer system.

A vacuum forming system followed by drying in a tunnel dryer or a fully automatic hot vacuum forming system can be used to form disposable bed liners from cellulose. Hot vacuum forming results in a very smooth, patient-friendly surface.

Further, the regions of the edge of the middle portion of the increased in height wall of the extension and the opposite edge of the side wall may form a partially planar portion so that when the vessel is removed from the mold, it can fall onto these partially planar surfaces and not break.

The disposable bedpan is manufactured to support the patient's weight.

In a first embodiment of the invention, the concavities and / or protuberances are conical and directed towards the edge with sharp ends. However, they end directly at the edge or at some distance below the edge. Moreover, they do not interfere with the contact of the vessel with the patient's pelvis. In addition, sagging areas can be avoided during use. The stability of the vessel is not affected.

In the second embodiment of the invention, the section of the concavities and / or bulges is in the form of a conical section or a polygon. The shape in this case can be the shape of a sector of a circle or an ellipse sector.

A further embodiment of the invention has at least one step on the concavity and / or convexity and / or on the side wall. This increases the stability of the disposable vessel.

In a further embodiment of the invention, the ends of the concavities and / or bulges project beyond the bottom. This forms the supports of the disposable bedpan.

In a further embodiment of the invention, the edge of the disposable bedpan is formed from an inner and an outer part. The outer part above the inner part of the lip and / or the outer part and the inner part are connected to each other by means of at least one recess. The inner part in this case is mainly used as a support. The inner part can be narrower than the outer part, thus the inner part of the edge in connection with the side wall with concavities and / or bulges determines the stability of the disposable bedpan. The outer part is flexible due to the recess (groove), so the stability of the device is not reduced and the patient's comfort is provided. The outer edge may bend during movement.

The inner part can also serve as a lid backing. The cover in this case can be a sheet or plate. The parts can be made in such a way that the lid will adhere to the inside of the bedpan, completely covering the vessel's container without going beyond its edge. The vessel is tightly closed, after use it can be easily removed and carried away. Unpleasant odors will not seep out.

In a further embodiment of the invention, the lip consists of an inner and an outer part opposite the vessel. The inner part of the edge in section is an arc connecting the edge to the side wall. In this case, the arc is located along the entire circumference of the vessel. The arc can be, in particular, circular.

In a further embodiment of the invention, the edge of the first section, on which the patient's pelvis rests, is wider than the edge of the second section. At the same time, this edge serves as a support for the can, thereby reducing the partial pressure on it.

In a further embodiment of the invention, the edge is edged, whereby the fold of the edge is rounded. This increases the stability of the disposable vessel. You can hold onto the rounded edge when carrying the boat. The used boat can be easily grasped by the edges and removed.

In a further embodiment of the invention, at least the middle part of the second lip portion projects towards the bottom of the ship. The protrusion is a place for gripping, to increase the stability of which it can be further bent towards the ship. As a result, the vessel can be easily held and transported after use.

In a further embodiment of the invention, the edge is provided with another additional, outwardly directed section around the vessel. In use, this additional edge can allow the boat to rest on the mattress. Part of the patient's weight is on the mattress. In addition, due to this, the vessel can be fixed.

In a further embodiment of the invention, the bottom is flat and / or the edge is flat.

In a further embodiment of the invention, the side wall and the bottom form an angle greater than 90 degrees, so the side wall is inclined outwardly relative to the bottom. This facilitates the removal of the disposable vessel from the production mold during manufacture. In addition, boats can be stacked and easily separated from one another.

In the following constructive form of the invention, the height of the first section of the disposable vessel is the same. The patient's weight falls primarily on this site. In continuation, the upper edge of the side wall of the second section may be disposed obliquely upward relative to the bottom of the first section. Thanks to this solution, excrement is guaranteed to enter the vessel.

A further form of the invention is a disposable bedpan made from cellulose, waste paper, cardboard or a combination of these materials. Such materials can be easily and environmentally disposed of.

In order to solve the problem, it is also possible to allow a combination of the above-described design forms or some of their individual characteristics.

On the basis of an example of the invention and the corresponding illustrations, a more detailed explanation of the invention is given. The example should describe the invention without limiting it.

The graphic part shows:

FIG. 1: Disposable bedpan top view

FIG. 2: Side view of the disposable bedpan

The disposable bedpan 1 is a container and consists of a bottom 2, a side wall 3 and an edge 4.

FIG. 1 shows a disposable bedpan, theoretical top view.

The sections of the side wall 3 are transformed into conical concavities 5, which protrude into the interior of the vessel 1. The conical concavities 5 are located towards the edge 4, while the section of the concavity 5 decreases towards the edge 4. The section of the concavity 5 is a sector of a circle.

The recess of the disposable vessel 1 is divided into a first section 6 for the patient's pelvis and into a second section 7 which extends the first section and is a U-shaped support. This second section 7 is the extension of the vessel 1 in this direction.

FIG. 2 shows a disposable vessel, a theoretical side view.

The middle part of the U-shaped second section 7 of the recess of the disposable vessel 1 is a side wall, the height of which is greater than the rest of the side wall 3a. The different heights of the side wall 3 are aligned with each other by means of inclined projections.

The height of the first section (6) of the disposable vessel (1) is the same. The upper edge of the wall (3) of the second section (7) extends upward and obliquely relative to the bottom (2) of the first section (6).

The bottom 2 of the disposable bedpan 1 is a predominantly flat bottom 2. The side wall 3 and the bottom 2 form an angle between themselves greater than 90 degrees in such a way that the side wall 3 is bent outwardly relative to the bottom 2.

The edge 4 of the first section 6 intended for the patient's pelvis may be wider than the edge of the second section 7. In addition, the edge 4 is edged, the fold of the edge is rounded.

The lip 4 can be composed of an inner part 4a and an outer part 4b. In this case, the inner part 4a of the edge 4, in order to increase stability, can be a cross-sectional arc connecting the edge 4 and the side wall 3 enclosing the disposable vessel 1. For example, this arc may be a circular arc.

The disposable bedpan 1 is made of cellulose, recycled paper (waste paper), cardboard, or a combination of these materials.

In one design, the lip 4 may consist of an inner part 4a and an outer part 4b relative to the vessel 1. The outer part 4b is higher than the inner part 4a of the lip 4. The inner part 4a is a cover substrate. A groove 8 can be located between the parts 4a, 4b and the edge 4. The groove 8 and the outer part 4b stabilize and reinforce the inner part 4a, which bears the bulk of the body's weight. They prevent the inner part 4a from bursting under the pressure of the weight, which pushes the side wall 3 of the vessel 1 and the inner part 4a outwardly. The inner part 4a can also be an arc around the vessel.

In a further embodiment of the invention, at least the middle part of the second edge portion (7) can protrude towards the bottom (2). This projection can be used as a handle for carrying a disposable boat (1). In addition, the protrusion or part of the protrusion can bend towards the vessel (1), thereby further increasing the stability of the handle.

In a further embodiment of the invention, the edge 4 is provided with an additional section 9 directed towards the outside.
