U RlNARY APPARATUS.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 501,372, dated July 11, 1893. Application filed March 30, 1893. Serial No. 468,302- (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be itknown that I, MARCUS D. L. SHERMAN, of Lowell, county of Middlesex, State of Massachusetts, have invented an Improvement in Urinary Apparatus, of which the following description, in connection with the accompanying drawings,is a specification, like letters on the drawings representing like parts.
This invention relates to that class of apparatus for the use of invalids, and others who, on account of disease or otherwise, are incommoded by the incontinence of urine, and has for its object particularly the production of means for emptying the receptacle forming a part of the apparatus, without annoyance or embarrassment to the wearer, and which shall be simple in construction, convenientin use, and eliective in operation.
In accordance therewith my invention consists, in a urinary apparatus, of a receptacle adapted to be secured to the leg of the wearer, and a shoe having a tube or conduit attached thereto provided with an external outlet, combined with a detachable connection between said receptacle and tube, substantially as will be described.
Other features of my invention will be hereinafter described, and particularly pointed out in the claims.
Figure 1 in side elevation and section, and partly broken away, represents an apparatus embodying my invention. Fig. 1 is a sectional enlarged detail, to be referred to, and Fig. 2 is a modification to be described.
Referring to Fig. 1, I have therein represented the lower portion of. a rubber receptacle B, of usual and well known construction and of itself forming no part of my invention, of such shape and size as to be firmly secured to the inner side of the thigh and leg of the wearer in well known manner. The lower end of said receptacle is continued in the form of a flexible tube b, of a convenient length to extend to the top of the shoe A of the person using the apparatus. A small tube a, of rather stiff rubber is secured to the quarter of the shoe, preferably upon its inner side, as shown in Fig. 1, the lower end of said tube having a nipple a, of hard rub her or metal, preferably threaded to screw into a collar a3 held firmly in an opening in the sole 3 of the shoe, substantially at its shank portion, as shown. This collar (L as more clearly shown in section, Fig. 1, is preferably threaded interiorly and exteriorly, that it may be screwed into the opening in the sole. The upper end of the tube a for convenience projects slightly above the top of the shoe and is connected to the end of the tubular portion 1) by any suitable detachable coupling, herein shown as a collar OIJllP'.
ple Z), of hard rubber or metal, to slip into the adjacent ends of the tubes 0 and I). From the foregoing it will be seen that direct communication is established between the receptacle B and the ground, through tubes b and a, and the opening in the shoe sole, so that when the wearer so desires the contents of the receptacle may at once pass off without inconvenience or attracting attention.
In order to prevent egress from the receptacle B I have provided the tube 1) with a cutoff 11 which. can be actuated by a simple movement by the wearer.
If desired the tube a can be disconnected from the collar 0?, and the opening therethrough serves to admit air to the interior of the shoe, to ventilate it, and in damp or wet weather said opening may be closed by a threaded cap 0, as shown in Fig. 1
In the modification shown in Fig. 2 the tube a is secured to the outside of the shoe by suitable fastenings e, e, its lower end a' -terminatlng just below the sole 3' at the shank portion, such construction presenting less of an obstruction to the foot.
From the foregoing description and illustration it will be apparent that the apparatus may be worn without inconvenience, and with entire privacy, concealed by the clothing, and that a continuous exit may be provided for the contents of the receptacle, or it may be emptied at convenient intervals. By its use the wearer su Hers no embarrassment, and furthermore, the danger and discomfort attendant upon the effort to retain the urine is entirely obviated.
This invention is not restricted to the specific construction and arrangement of the parts herein shown and described, as the same may be changed in various particulars without departing from my invention.
\Vhat I claim, and desire to secureby Letters Patent, is-
1. In a urinary apparatus, a receptacle adapted to be secured to the leg of the wearer, and a shoe having a tube or cond uit attached thereto provided with an external outlet, conubined with a detachable connection between said receptacle and tube, substantially as described. v
2. In a urinary apparatus, a receptacle adapted to be secured to the leg of the wearer, and a shoe having a tube attached thereto provided with an external outlet, combined with a detachable flexible connection between said receptacle and tube, and a cut-off for said connection, substantially as described."
3. In a urinary apparatus, a shoe having a perforated sole, and a tube detachably connected at one end with said perforation,c0mbined with a receptacle adapted to be secured to the leg of the wearer, a flexible tubular continuation extended therefrom and detachabl y connected with the upper end of said tube, and a removable cap to cover said perforation, substantially as described.
In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
. MARCUS D. L. SHERMAN.
