The invention relates to a closing insert (301) to be used with a funnel (201) of a urinal bottle (101). The funnel comprises an opening (208) which enables passage of urine to the urinal bottle. However, the opening of the funnel has the disadvantage that urine odour are able to escape via the funnel's opening. After use of the urinal, the closing insert is positioned so that it closes the funnel's opening. The closing insert has a funnel shape-line shape and is dimensioned to be inserted into the funnel. Since the closing insert has a receiving opening similar to the receiving opening of the funnel the closing insert does not change the use of the funnel and the urinal bottle, except that the user has to operate the closing insert to open it before use.

The conventional vacuum suction type urine collector may not be able to perform normal and automatic vacuum suction when contamination occurs between the electrodes acting as a sensor, and some users feel uneasy about the use of the urine collector as the case may be.

In the controller for a vacuum suction type urine collector of this invention, the resistance between paired electrodes installed on the side of a urine receiver on a vacuum sucked-urine path extending from the urine receiver via a urine transport tube to a urine tank is measured by a controller to automatically detect urine, for actuating a vacuum suction device, wherein a detection resistor is connected in series to the abovementioned electrodes; and a manual operation switch is connected in parallel to the series circuit consisting of the electrodes and the detection resistor, to constitute a state detection circuit.

The invention relates to an improved bag. Bags are currently available which are intended for very specific products, said bags comprising an inner part with an internally-disposed opening and non-return means which prevent the bag from emptying. However, said bags can only be used for a very limited number of applications. The inventive bag can be made from any material and can be used for multiple applications. Said bag can contain diverse materials of any type, nature or physical state, such as fluid materials and, in particular, liquid, pasty, slimy, powdery, granular, solid, semi-solid or similar materials. In addition, the bag also preferably comprises perforated tear lines which facilitate the opening thereof and the rapid emptying of the contents from same, as well as permanent/temporary closure means. The bag also comprises a flap which is disposed on one part of the edge of the opening and which can be folded back on the remaining part of the bag.

A personal urine collecting apparatus (100) having a bidet system, includes a urine collector (20) for collecting urine from a person, a urine repository (30) for storing urine collected from the urine collector through a urine release guide line, a cleansing water tank (40) arranged on one side of the urine repository for storing cleansing water, a heater (50) connected to the cleansing water tank so as to receive a predetermined amount of the cleansing water and heat the cleansing water, a bidet system (70) installed on in a body of the urine collector for injecting the cleansing water from the heater, a driving means (60) connected to the urine release guide line and cleansing water guide line for actuating the urine collector and the bidet system, a controller for controlling the driving means, a sensing means (27c,56) for sensing a condition of the urine collector and a condition of at least one of the urine repository, cleansing water tank and the heater, and a case (10) for housing and mounting the urine collector, the urine repository, cleansing water tank, the heater, the bidet system, the driving means and the sensing means.

Ein Aufnahmebehältnis (10) für Flüssigkeiten ist nach Art einer Säule mit einem rechteckigen, kreisförmigen oder ovalen Querschnitt ausgebildet und in einer Seitenwand (12) ist im oberen Bereich (13) eine durch einen Deckel (15) selbsttätig verschließbare Einlaßöffnung (14) eingearbeitet.

Durch diese Ausgestaltung wird erreicht, daß das für das Befüllen mit Urin vorgesehene Aufnahmebehältnis (10) insbesondere während der Nacht in vorteilhafter Weise benutzt werden kann und selbsttätig und dicht verschließbar ist, so daß ein Umfallen durch unachtsame Bewegungen des Benutzers vermeidbar ist.

A urine holder includes a liquid impermeable bag (1), a liquid absorbent material (3) provided in the liquid impermeable bag (1) and a urine guiding member (4) attached to the open top end (11) of the liquid impermeable bag (1).

Cet urinal (1) en matière plastique transparente ou translucide, autoclavable, est équipé d'un dispositif anti-reflux (2) amovible à l'aide d'un vissage (6) particulier assurant l'étanchéité.

Il est facile à nettoyer et à stériliser. Il comporte de nombreuses particularités, notamment un système de préhension (9), un système particulier de graduations chiffrées (14) lisibles lorsque l'urinal repose sur sa face arrière.

La figure 1 représente un modèle pour homme. Une version féminine est indiquée dans la description.

A device for collecting a specimen of urine which device comprises a hollow container portion and integrally formed therewith a plug portion adapted to fit into the neck of a urine specimen bottle, said plug portion having a bore therethrough through which urine may pass from the container portion into a said specimen bottle.
