Description

-w-m-p-wñ. . 447 336 measuring containers of the kind mentioned in the introduction which are much easier to manufacture. It should consist of as few parts as possible and the interior of the measuring container be so shaped that it can preferably be formed with a single mold tool by means of injection molding.

In addition, the measuring container must be designed in such a way that a more even weight distribution is achieved when filling the container.

These tasks have been solved by the second and third chambers having each year arranged to extend behind the first chamber, and that said outlet openings from the second and third chambers are located one behind the other on either side of the partition between them and behind the first chamber. outlet opening.

The invention will be described in more detail below with reference to an exemplary embodiment shown in the accompanying drawings.

Fig. 1 shows the measuring container framiïrân, Fig. 2 is a section along the line II-II in Fig. 3.

Fig. 3 shows the measuring container from above.

Fig. 4 shows from the front a suspension device for the measuring container, Fig. 5 shows the suspension device in side view.

Fig. 6 shows a two-part embodiment of the suspension device seen from the front, Fig. T shows the suspension device according to Fig. 6 in side view.

Description of embodiments The measuring container 1 is made of a rigid transparent plastic material and is divided into three graduated measuring chambers 2,3 and 4 which are open to each other at the top. A first inlet 5 for the urine is connected to the first chamber 2 located in the middle. The inlet is arranged in a measuring container I F? 447 336 closing lid 6. The link further has a filter-provided aeration opening 7, through which the displaced air can pass out of the container 1.

The first chamber 2 has two overflow drains B and 9 arranged at different heights in the respective partitions 10 and 11 to the second and third chambers 3 and 4. so that when the first and second chambers 2 and 3 are filled, the third chamber 4 begins to filled via the overflow drain 9.

The second and third chambers 3 and 4 extend with respective parts 12 and 13 behind the first chamber 2 and the partition wall 14 therebetween is thus arranged behind the first chamber.

The partition wall 14 is profiled, so that in the bottom of the measuring container 1 and with the outlet 15 connected the outlet openings 16,1? and 18 from the first. others resp. third chamber 2.3 resp. 4 could be placed behind each other along a substantially straight line. The outlet openings 16-18 are opened and closed at the same time by means of a valve 19.

In connection with the partition wall 14, an overflow drain 20 from the third chamber L. is further arranged, which overflow drain communicates with the outlet 14 via an outlet opening 21.

The outlet opening 21 is always open regardless of the position of the valve 19. A collecting vessel (not shown) must be connected to the outlet 14. for example a urine bag. The bag can be hung on hooks 23 on the hanging device 24 of the measuring container 1.

The suspension device 24 is shown in detail in Figs. 4 and 5 and has a vertical portion provided with outer teeth 25 in the form of a pair of resilient legs 25, which end at the top with hooks 27 intended to be hooked to a bed, for example.

The legs 25 can spring into a groove 28 arranged on the back of the measuring container 1 provided with corresponding internal teeth 29. so that a locking of the suspension device 24 to the measuring container 1 can take place in any position. The suspension device 24 has at the bottom a horizontal part 30 with a plurality of hooks 23 for suspending urine bags of different sizes. With this construction, the heavy urine bag will not hang on the measuring container 1 but on the suspension device 24. which is preferable.

Figs. 6 and 7 show a two-part embodiment of the suspension device Zk, each part having a pair of resilient legs Zßa and b provided with each toothed portion 25a and 25, respectively. b. The position of the hooks 24 can then be adjusted to adapt to different suspension options.

The measuring container 1 can be manufactured by injection molding a very small number of parts and the entire interior can be formed in one step with a single mold tool, as both the partitions 10.11 and 14 and the outlet openings 16-18 and 20 are accessible from above before the lid 6 is put in place and fixed to the measuring container.

The invention is of course not limited to the exemplary embodiment shown, but a number of variants are conceivable within the scope of the appended claims.
