Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a urinary device configured to be used by a sick or elderly person (hereinafter simply referred to as a sick person in this specification) while lying down.

(Prior art) Traditionally, urinary devices used while a patient is lying down have been designed to be easy to use while the patient is lying down, and do not stain the patient's clothes or sheets when used. The condition is that it is a thing.

Although there have been various types of urinary devices of this type, none of them completely satisfy the above conditions, and while urinary devices for men are one thing, urinary devices specifically aimed at women are Due to the physical characteristics of the urinating area and the difficulty of collecting urine into a urinating device without leaking urine onto clothes, sheets, etc., there has been no satisfactory urinating device.

In view of the above-mentioned current situation, the inventor of the present invention has attempted to solve the above-mentioned problem by creating a lower end support part 1, which is located at the lower end on the front side of the patient during use and is provided with a slip prevention means, and an upper part behind the lower end support part 1, as shown in FIG. a receiver body support part 2 that is located at and swingably supports the receiver body C; a receiver frame B that includes a grip part 3 that extends above the receiver body support part toward the front side and grips the urination device; An opening that is swingably supported by the receiver frame B and that abuts and surrounds the groin area (the area from the upper part of the urethra to the vicinity of the anus) through a urine storage bag (not shown) or directly. A urinary device A was provided which has a receiver body C provided at one end (Japanese Patent Application No. 60-041556).

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) The urinary device having the above structure is designed to be placed on a surface on which the lower end support part of the urinary device is placed, such as a sheet, a towel placed on the sheet, or a sick person's nightgown (hereinafter simply a sheet). etc.) does not move relative to the futon located below it, by pulling the grip on the upper front side towards you using the "lever principle" caused by the above structure, it will move around the lower end support part. rotate,
As a result, the opening of the receiver body of the urination device (if a urine storage bag is used, via the urine storage bag attached to the receiver body) can be strongly pressed against the patient's groin area.

However, if there are wrinkles, especially large wrinkles, on the surface of the sheet, etc. on which the urinary device is placed, the lower end support part may not completely grip the fabric on the surface of the sheet, etc. Nevertheless, since the lower end support part rotates in the opposite direction together with the sheets and the like around the support part of the receiver main body, the opening part cannot be brought into strong contact with the crotch area. Therefore, when urinating,
A gap is created between the user's body and the edge of the opening in the receiver body, resulting in urine leaking downward.

The present invention can be applied even under the above-mentioned circumstances.
To provide a urination device that allows the opening of a urine storage bag to completely contact the groin area of a patient.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The urination device according to the present invention has a lower end support part located at the lower end on the front side and equipped with a slip prevention means, and a lower end support part located at the upper rear part of the lower end support part that swingably supports the receiver body. A receiver body support part, a receiver frame body having a grip part extending above the receiver body support part and gripping the urination device during use, and a urine storage bag swingably supported by the receiver body support part. In a urinary device having a receiver body having an opening at one end that abuts and surrounds the groin area through or directly, the receiver frame is directed outward on both sides of a position rearward from the lower end support part. It is characterized in that it has a curved engagement part that swells at the lower end, and is configured so that the weight of both feet acts downwardly on this engagement part.

(Function) When the present urination device having the above configuration is used, it functions as follows. In other words, in the case of a type that uses a urine storage bag, attach the urine storage bag to the opening of the receiver body of this urination device before use, and in the case of a type where the receiver body has a separate urine storage tank. After confirming the connection of the connection hose that connects to the tank, the patient is then moved from the patient's feet side to the groin area with the opening facing the groin area. Then, when the grip part is pulled toward you with the opening almost touching the patient's groin area, the engaging part of the receiver frame rotates upward around the lower end support part, touching both legs (thighs). engage (contact) with Due to this engagement, the weight of both feet (more precisely, a part of the weight generated by friction) acts downward on the engaging portion, and presses the present urination device downward.

In this way, if you pull the grip of this urination device toward you while the weight of both feet is acting below the lower end support, even if there are large wrinkles in the sheets, etc., the sheets, etc. and the fabric on the surface of the futon can be removed. Since a large frictional force is generated between the two parts (frictional force is determined by the coefficient of friction and the pressing force acting), the lower end support part is supported as it is, and the opening centering on the lower end support part does not slip. The part moves toward the groin area and can be brought into strong contact (close contact) with the patient's groin area.

If the user urinates while the user is in contact with the groin area, the user can urinate without leaking urine.

(Example) Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. The urination device according to this embodiment is of a type in which a urine storage bag is attached to an opening of a receiver body.

Fig. 1 is a perspective view showing the shape of the urination device according to the embodiment of the present invention, Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the urine storage bag attached, and Figs. 3 and 4 are the urination devices used in the present invention. It is a perspective view and a top view which show a urine storage bag.

In the figure, A is a urination device, and the urination device A
is roughly divided into a receiver frame B and a receiver body C.

The receiver frame B has a generally L-shaped side surface as a whole, with a lower end support part 1 located at the lower end on the front side and having a support surface 1a having a curvature in the front-rear direction, and a lower end support part 1 located at the rear upper part thereof and extending from side to side. It has a receiver body support part 2 formed on both sides of a separated frame to support the receiver body, and a grip part 3 extending diagonally upward in front of the receiver body support part. In the case of this embodiment, the portion from the lower end support part 1 to the lower end of the upper grip part 3 is spaced apart from side to side, and the space area for mounting the receiver main body, which will be described later, is located in the middle part spaced from side to side. is formed. Curved engaging portions 4 are formed on both outer sides of the frame, which are spaced apart from each other to the left and right, so as to bulge outward and at the lower end.

In addition, in the approximately L-shaped bent part (rear lower end part),
A heel portion 5 is formed which becomes a grounding portion when placed. On the support surface 1a of the lower end support part 1,
Anti-slip rubber with tooth-shaped protrusions on the surface 6
is pasted. Further, support shaft portions 2a are formed coaxially on both sides of the frame of the receiver main body support portion 2, which is spaced apart from each other. Furthermore, in the case of this embodiment, a hook 7 for hanging a string at the open end of the urine storage bag is formed in a part of the gripping part.

In the case of this embodiment, the receiver main body C is a cylindrical body whose general overall shape is approximately elliptical in cross section, and the edge 8 of the open end on the front side extends from the groin area of the body (from above the urethral meatus to the vicinity of the anus). It has a three-dimensional shape that abuts and surrounds the receiver frame B, and on both side walls of the rear end, there is a recessed groove-shaped receiving part 9 that is pivotally supported by the support shaft part 2a of the receiver frame B. It is installed protrudingly. The support shaft portion 2a and the receiving portion 9 form a swingable (rotatable) joint (support mechanism), and the receiver body C is swingable to the receiver frame B via this joint. is supported by Incidentally, the support shaft portion 2a and the receiving portion 9 are elastically restrained by a ring-shaped spring 10, and the receiver body C is attached to the receiver frame B in such a manner that it is always biased forward and downward. And the receiver frame B of the receiver body C
The inclination state (in other words, the height of the front opening end of the receiver body: H) relative to the receiver body is configured to be adjustable by an adjusting screw 11. That is, as shown in FIG. 1, the adjustment of the inclination is performed by moving the adjusting screw 11 having the head 11a at one end (rear end) from the rear to the front of the through hole 12 formed in the receiver frame B. Insert the head 11 to the side.
a is engaged with the receiver frame B, and the threaded portion 11b at the tip is screwed into the screw hole 13 formed in the receiver body C, and the inclination of the receiver body is adjusted depending on the degree of this screwing. There is.

In the case of this embodiment, the upper half of the tip edge 8 of the receiver main body C is covered with an elastic cover member 14 so that it can be brought into good contact even when the body shape differs from person to person.

Moreover, it is preferable to use a urine storage bag D as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 in this urination device. This urine storage bag is a film-like bag that is open only at one end, and a retainer 15 that is entirely annular and has a clamping piece 15a formed on the open end is attached to the inner wall that extends a little from the open end. There is.

Thus, the urination device constructed in this manner operates as follows when used.

First, before use, adjust the adjusting screw 11 according to the patient's physique so that the height H of the opening tip of the receiver body C matches the position of the patient's groin. As shown in Figure 2, a third
The urine storage bag D shown in the figure is inserted so that the retainer 15 is held within the cylindrical body of the receiver body, and the urine storage bag opening is turned over to the outside. Next, the clamping pieces 15a of the retainer 15 are bent so that the inner surface 15b faces outward, and the retainer 15 is set in such a state that it is locked (clamped) at the opening edge 8 of the cylindrical body C. (See Figure 2).

At this stage, the retainer 15 is almost open in the urine storage bag D, and in this state, the patient is lying on his back with the open side of the urine storage bag (the left side in Figure 2) facing the groin area. Urinary device A is inserted into the patient's groin area from the foot side. In addition, during such insertion, the skin on the inner side of the thigh and the above-mentioned clamping piece 15
The inner surface of a and a part of the inverted urine storage bag D are supported and pressed from behind by the opening edge 8 of the receiver main body C, so that they come into strong contact with the retainer 1.
5 is in a state where it is further expanded outward on both sides (the opening is enlarged), and the attachment to the groin area progresses.

Then, in a state where the opening edge 8 of the receiver main body C is substantially in contact with the crotch area via the urine storage bag D,
When you pull the grip part of this urination device toward you, it rotates around the lower end support part (rotates counterclockwise in Fig. 1), and the curved engaging parts 4 protrude outward on both sides.
touches the inner thigh. At the time of such contact, since the curved engaging portion 4 is configured to swell at the lower end side, the contact generates a component force that presses the present urination device downward.

In this way, if you pull the grip of this urination device toward you while the weight of your thigh is acting downward on the lower end support, even if there are large wrinkles on the sheet, etc., the surface will be smoothed. The support surface 1a of the lower end support portion rolls along its curvature without moving (slipping) to smooth out the wrinkles, but with the wrinkles still present, the opening of the receiver body (In the case of this embodiment, the opening where the urine storage bag is attached) moves toward the groin area and can strongly contact (adhere to) and surround the patient's groin area. In addition, upon such contact,
The receiver body is urged downward from above by a ring-shaped spring, and the upper part of the opening of the receiver body comes into contact with the body through the urine storage bag. In order to get closer to
It can always be brought into contact with the desired position appropriately.

If the user urinates while the edge of the retainer 15 on the opening side strongly contacts the body, urine will not leak outside the opening.

In addition, the urine that is urinated will be transferred to the retainer 1 due to the excretion force.
5 and the opening at the folded edge of the urine storage bag, or by gravity, flows down the lower end of the retainer 15 to the rear side (lower leg side) of the urine storage bag D, forming a thin film-like urine storage bag. D flows toward the lowest side while being deformed approximately along the unevenness of the surface of the futon or the like. The urinated urine then accumulates in the lowest part of the urine storage bag at the rear.

When urination is finished, the urinary device is pulled toward the patient's feet, and the patient or the nurse pulls the string 3 of the urine storage bag, which is inverted at the open end, into the hook 7.
Remove it from the receiver body C and pull it upward toward you.
rotates upward around the joint, and the folded part of the re-urine storage bag automatically turns over to wrap the retainer part etc. that is soiled with urine inside the urine storage bag. Therefore, the hands of those who handle it will not get dirty.

As mentioned above, when urinating, if the end of the string is hooked to the hook 7 formed on the grip part of the receiver frame (see Figure 2), the urine storage bag will be difficult to detach from the receiver frame. , and the end of the string can be immediately found after use.

Furthermore, although the above embodiment describes a urination device using a urine storage bag, as shown in FIG. , a urination device configured to store the urine in a storage tank 19 that is connected to the rear of the receiver body through a connection port 17 formed in the rear wall thereof with a hose 18 or the like. Good too.

In addition, in the case of a type that uses a urine storage bag, the three-dimensional shape of the opening that contacts (adheres to) the groin area of the body may be formed on the opening edge on the side of the receiver body, or An abutment edge may be formed on the storage bag side.

(Effects of the invention) The urinary device according to the present invention has large wrinkles on the sheets, etc. on which the urinary device is placed, and towels, etc., are placed under the urinary device to relieve the patient's anxiety. Even when the sheet is being pulled, a strong force is applied to the lower end support from above, and the grip is pulled toward the front, so the lower end support does not slip along with the sheet, etc., thus ensuring a good contact condition at all times. can be obtained.

Therefore, when using the urination device, there is no need to remove wrinkles from sheets, etc., and the patient can use the device without worrying about wrinkles.

On the other hand, nurses also experience wrinkles each time they urinate.
The presence or absence of wrinkles is checked, and if there are wrinkles, the user is freed from the troublesome work of smoothing out the wrinkles.

This invention is a useful invention that solves the problem of urination, which is one of the most important issues in today's age, where there is a trend toward elderly people and home care is being advocated, and contributes to reducing nursing labor.
