Description
APPAREIL FEMININ POUR URINER DEBOUT FEMALE APPARATUS FOR STANDING URINATION
La présente invention concerne un instrument simple qui permet aux femmes d'uriner comme et dans des conditions semblables aux hommes.The present invention relates to a simple instrument which allows women to urinate as and under conditions similar to men.
Elle s'insère dans le domains technique des appareils sanitaires et appareils paramédicaux.It is part of the technical field of sanitary and paramedical devices.
Il est caractérisé par sa grande simplicité d'emploi et il permet aux femmes d'uriner en position debout en appliquant le réceptacle (1) immédiatement au-dessous de l'appareil génital sans besoin d'exercer une pression contre le corps. Le bec verseur (2) sera dirigé vers l'extérieur là où on désire uriner et un léger basculement du corps de l'appareil permet de diriger le jet. uriner par la méthode traditionnelle présente les inconvénients suivants : contact avec les cuvettes de WC plus ou moins propres, obligation de s'accroupir ou de chercher avec difficultés un endroit tranquille dans les cas d'urgence, difficultés souvent insurmontables lors du remplissage du flacon pour les analyses d'urine etc.It is characterized by its great ease of use and it allows women to urinate in a standing position by applying the receptacle (1) immediately below the genitalia without the need to exert pressure against the body. The pouring spout (2) will be directed outwards where it is desired to urinate and a slight tilting of the body of the device makes it possible to direct the jet. urinating by the traditional method has the following disadvantages: contact with more or less clean toilet bowls, obligation to squat or to seek with difficulty a quiet place in emergency cases, difficulties often insurmountable when filling the bottle for urinalysis etc.
L'invention de l'appareil à uriner permet de supprimer tous ces inconvénients.The invention of the urinating device eliminates all these drawbacks.
Ses dimensions lui permettent de tenir dans un sac à main et par sa relative rigidité il peut être introduit à travers la braguette des pantalons.Its dimensions allow it to fit in a handbag and by its relative rigidity it can be introduced through the fly of the pants.
L'appareil qui est représenté dans le dessin annexé ressemble à une cuiller et il tient compte du fait que l'urine qui descend à forte pression ne stationne jamais dans le réceptacle, le plan d'écoulement étant plus bas que celui-ci. Le réceptacle lui-même est légèrement incliné. Une variante de cet appareil est celle qui prévoit un bec d'écoulement plus court, pliant ou rétractable. Ces variantes permettent de gagner de la place sans modifier le fonctionnement du moment que les principes ci-dessus sont respectés.The apparatus which is represented in the appended drawing resembles a spoon and it takes account of the fact that the urine which descends at high pressure never stands in the receptacle, the flow plane being lower than the latter. The receptacle itself is slightly tilted. A variant of this device is that which provides a shorter, folding or retractable spout. These variants save space without modifying the operation as long as the above principles are respected.
L'appareil est construit en matière plastique, de préférence en polypropylène d'une épaisseur de 1 mm ou moins. L'épaisseur peut être plus faible à condition que la partie supérieure ait une bonne rigidité.
Une seule dimension standard s'adapte à toutes les femmes.The device is made of plastic, preferably polypropylene with a thickness of 1 mm or less. The thickness can be reduced provided that the upper part has good rigidity. One standard size fits all women.
L'appareil est présenté dans un sac hygiénique individuel L'appareil objet de l'invention peut être utilisé dans tous les cas et à chaque fois qu'une femme doit uriner, mais les applications plus intéressantes sont les utilisations en laboratoire pour remplir le flacon d' urine .The device is presented in an individual hygienic bag The device object of the invention can be used in all cases and whenever a woman has to urinate, but the most interesting applications are the uses in laboratory to fill the bottle urine.
L'utilisation généralisée est souhaitable et permet de libérer la femme de certaines contraintes. L'invention s'insère donc dans la libération de la femme moderne.Widespread use is desirable and frees the woman from certain constraints. The invention therefore fits into the liberation of modern women.
L'invention est clairement montrée sur les dessins joints dans lesquels la planche N⍛ 1 comprend les figures 1 - 2, la planche N⍛ 2 comprend les figures 3 - 4. La figure 1 est une section selon la trace A - A' de la figure 2.The invention is clearly shown in the accompanying drawings in which the board N⍛ 1 includes Figures 1 - 2, the board N⍛ 2 includes Figures 3 - 4. Figure 1 is a section along trace A - A 'of Figure 2.
La figure 2 est une vue de haut de l'appareil. La figure 3 est une vue en prospective et l'échelle se réfère à cette figure. La figure 4 est une vue schématique moniaant l'emploi de l'appareil faisant l'objet de l'invention.
Figure 2 is a top view of the apparatus. Figure 3 is a perspective view and the scale refers to this figure. Figure 4 is a schematic view showing the use of the device which is the subject of the invention.
