omiten 't To all whom t may concern.:

Be it known that I, HENRY B. NoRTHRoP, a citizen of the United States, residing at the town of Beverly,-in the 'county of Essex 'and State of Massachusetts have invented new and useful Improvements in Urinals, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to urinals such as and unobstructed therethrough, an inner.

water-proof sack and an outer water-proof sack, each openl at its opposite ends ande-ach detachably attached at oneof its open ends to and held on and extended from said projected collar of the body-band, and the outer sack to be over and beyond and substantially spaced from the inner sack, and the inner sack, at its unattached open end, suitably adapted to receive and resiliently hold the penis, and the outer sack at its unattached open end, suitably adapted for connection with a watersproof bag to receive and hold the discharged urine. And in carrying out the invention above 'set forth, it is preferable to have both of said water-proof sacks elastic and resilient and-especiallyto adapt each for a slip-joint with and on the. projected-collar of the body-band, and also to have the inner sack of thin sheet india rubber, not only .elastic and resilient but also iexible and possessing all such qualities to an extent sutlicient to permit of the sack being distorted or crumpled without 'substantial limit and with no danger of im,-

pairment thereof, all of which constitute features of this invention.

In the accompanying sheet of drawings, forming a part of this invention, Figure l is a perspective view on a reduced scale of t-he urinal complete in all its parts. f Fig. 2 is `an enlarged sectional View, as hereinafter appears.

In the drawings, A is the body-band.

D, E are the straps to pass under the pelvis of the person.

C is the collar or ring held on and projected from the body-band `and through` which the penis is to pass. f.

A' Fand G arerespectively, t-he inner and outer Water-proof sacks, each open at its opposite ends, and 'each at its larger open end attached thereby tothe collar C, by slipping it thereover, such port-ion at least of each being them-tobe slipped on and off of the collar and on the collar to beheld by their contraction with reasonable tightness to' prevent their possible accidental detachment;

. The body-band A and pelvis-straps D, E are each provided with suitable fastenings, such as buckles to adjust and fasten them in their desired position; 'The sacks F, 'G are, preferably, of horn shape from end, to end, and vary in size, the inner sack being the smaller and shorter of the two, and the outer sack is sutliciently larger than the inner sack lto leave a clear and' unobstructed space H between them. Preferably both elastic and resilient to enable sacks are made of elastic and resilient india rubber. The outer sack is sufficiently stili" to resist being unreasonably pressed out of shape, but the inner sack is preferably made of thin 'sheetrubben elasticv and resilient and flexible to the highest degree so that it can be readily distorted and crumpled in its shape and without danger of its impairment and of its hold, by its outer open end, of the penis of the person wearing the urinal, and

which in being worn extends from thedp'eri 'its sons body through the inner sack an outer open end, from which it properly pro- ]ects. l

fThe inner sack, Fig. 2, is shown at its full size in dotted lines, except for a portion at its opposite open ends, and it is shownin full lines as crumpled or distorted, between said two ends.

The outer sack, at itsgouter open end, is connected, preferably, detachably, by a tube J with a bag'K suitable to receive and hold the urine as discharged and adapted at one end L to be opened and Aclosed when its contents are emptied, and at the other lend to` be attached and detached from the sack;l

A urinal,'such as has been explained, in wear, is most comfortable, easy and pliable to all movements 'of the body and penis of the rson, and in no way is it disagreeably con ning to the parts directly in connection and on which any of its part or parts may bear. l

The-bag K has a sliding strap N for securing it to the leg of the wearer.

Having thus described my invention what Y v 1. A urinal for use vof males consisting i of an adjustable body-band, a collar or ring and adjustable pelvis-straps held on said body-band, in combination with an inner and an outer water-proof sack, each open at its opposite ends and both at one of their open,v4 ends detachably attached to said band-collar and the two spaced from each other, and with a bag or receiver detachably connected to the outer open end of said outer sack.

2. A urinal for use of males consisting of an adjustable body-band, a collar or ring and adjustable pelvis-straps held on said body-band, in combination with an inner and an outer .water-proof sack each open at its'opposite ends and both' at one of their open ends adapted for a detachable and resilient slip-joint with said band-collar and the two spaced from each other, and

noiaeoe with a bag or receiver detachably connected yto the outer open end of said outer sack.

3. A urinal /or use of males consisting of an adjustable body-band, a collar or ring and adjustable pelvis-straps held on said body-band in combination with an inner and an outer water-proof sack each open at its op osite ends and both at one of their open en s detachably secured to said band-collar, other, and the inner made of thin sheet elastic and resilient india rubber capable of distortion and crumpling, and with a bag or receiver detachably connected to the outer open end of said outer sack. v

in witness whereof, have hereunto set my hand in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
