    •  DETAILED DESCRIPTION
  • Referring to FIGS. 1 and 1A, one exemplary embodiment of a container 10 according to the present invention includes a web 12 of flexible porous material defining at least a portion of a chamber 14 in which liquid can be collected for transport. The web 12 of spun plastic fibers is configured to define an elongated portion of the chamber. Preferably, the container 10 is formed to have a tubular shape. The exterior shape of the container may be cylindrical or non-cylindrical.
  • The chamber 14 is configured to receive a tube in a position within the chamber 14 that enables the tube to transport from the chamber 14 liquid that is collected within the chamber 14 upon the liquid being drawn through the web 12.
  • FIGS. 2 and 2A show a variation of the one exemplary embodiment that is shown in FIGS. 1 and 1A. In this variation, a container 20 includes web 22 of spun plastic formed in a flexible sheet 23. The web 22 is then formed to have a tubular shape by flexing the sheet 23 so that opposite sides of the sheet 23 are held closely together, or meet as shown at 24, to define an elongated chamber 26. The opposite sides of the sheet 23 are held together by adhesive bands 28, or by other means, such as glue, or by compression created by a moisture-wicking article wrapped around the perimeter.
  • The container 20 is configured and sized to receive a moisture-wicking article over the flexed sheet 23 and to be able to dispose the received moisture-wicking article 20 in contact with a region of the body surrounding the urethral opening.
  • Referring further to FIG. 3, a moisture wicking material 30 is wrapped around the container 10, 20 and a liquid transport tube 32 is inserted within the chamber 14, 26 of the container 10, 20. In an alternative version related to the variation shown in FIGS. 2 and 2A, the moisture wicking material 30 is attached to or sprayed onto one side of the web 22 prior to the sheet 23 being flexed in order to define the elongated chamber 26.
  • The transport tube 32 is inserted through an outlet port at one end 34 of the container 10, 20 to a position within the chamber 14, 26 that enables the tube 32 to transport liquid collected within the chamber 14, 26 upon the liquid passing through the web 12, 22.
  • The other end 36 of the container 10, 20 is closed. The transport tube 32 is coupled to a vacuum pump, which can be used to create a partial vacuum in the chamber 14, 26 of the container 10, 20 to enable the tube 32 to transport liquid from the chamber 14, 26 while the liquid collects within the chamber 14, 26 upon being drawn through the web 12, 22 when the partial vacuum is applied within the chamber 14, 26 via the tube 32.
  • Referring to FIGS. 4A, 4B, 4C and 5, another exemplary embodiment of a container 40 according to the present invention includes a porous flexible web 42 of spun plastic fibers and a backing 43 (as shown in FIG. 5) of non-permeable material covering a portion of the web 42.
  • The transport tube 45 is secured to the web 42, as shown in FIG. 4C. In this embodiment, an adhesive tape 46 is used to secure the transport tube 45 to the web 42. In other embodiments, the transport tube 45 is secured by other means.
  • The backing 43 is so combined with the web 42 as to define a portion of a chamber 44 in which liquid can be collected for transport, as shown in FIG. 5. The chamber 44 is configured to receive a transport tube 45 in a position within the chamber 44 that enables the tube 45 to transport liquid collected within the chamber 44.
  • The transport tube 45 is secured to the web 42, as shown in FIG. 4C. In this embodiment, an adhesive tape 46 is used to secure the transport tube 45 to the web 42. In other embodiments, the transport tube 45 is secured by other means.
  • Referring further to FIG. 6, the container 40 is configured and sized to receive a moisture-wicking article 47 over the web 42 and to be able to dispose the received moisture-wicking article 47 in contact with a region of the body surrounding the urethral opening.
  • The moisture-wicking material 47 is wrapped around the container 40, which has the liquid transport tube extending from the chamber 44 of the container. The transport tube 45 extends through an outlet port at one end 48 of the container 40 to a position within the chamber 44 that enables the tube 45 to transport liquid collected within the chamber 44. The other end 49 of the container 40 is closed. The transport tube 45 is coupled to a vacuum pump, which can be used to create a partial vacuum in the chamber 44 of the container 40 to enable the tube 45 to transport liquid from the chamber 44 while the liquid collects within the chamber 44 upon being drawn through the web 42 when the partial vacuum is applied within the chamber 44 via the tube 45.
  • Preferably, the spun plastic fibers include, and may consist of, spun polyester fibers, such as contained in a scouring pad. Polyester fibers are preferred because of their characteristic of not retaining undesirable odors. In alternative embodiments, the web is made of some other type of fibers.
  • For a female, the secured moisture-wicking article 20 is placed between the legs or labia and held snugly against the external urethra by pressure or friction from the user's body, by the pressure of the legs or by such means as an undergarment, elastic strips and/or adhesive tape. For a male, the secured moisture-wicking article is secured around the penis.
  • Different embodiments of a container for a urine collection device according to the invention are configured for use by both females and males, for both adult and pediatric applications, and for veterinary applications involving animals of different species and sizes.
  • The benefits specifically stated herein do not necessarily apply to every conceivable embodiment of the present invention. Further, such stated benefits of the present invention are only examples and should not be construed as the only benefits of the present invention.
  • While the above description contains many specificities, these specificities are not to be construed as limitations on the scope of the present invention, but rather as examples of the preferred embodiments described herein. Other variations are possible and the scope of the present invention should be determined not by the embodiments described herein but rather by the claims and their legal equivalents.
