Description
SPECIFICATION
A vacuum suction type urinating aid
The present inverwtion miatesto a vacuurn suction type unatltmg aid.
Them are peoplewh & must be asserted in urinate ing in bed These people include the old lying in bed, seriously ill patients, patients suffering from the incontinence of urine, etc. who cannot control their urinating as soon as they feel a desire to urinate, and patients who cannot go to the toilet alone
To attain the objective of assistance, an apparatus in which a receiver applied to the urinating region of the patient to receive his urine is connected with a tank to collect the urine through a tube has been used hitherto.However, with the conventional apparatus, the urine received by the receiver is dropped into said tank through said tube simply by gravity, and therefore the tube and the tank must be placed below said receiver, to permit urine to be dropped. For example, if the patient changes his position, causing the tube to be placed even partially above the receiver, the urine in the tube flows back into the receiver to soak the patient and bedclothes inconveniently. Such a conventional apparatus is disadvantagely restricted in the place of use and urinating pose.
According to the present invention there is provided a vacuum suction type urinating aid, including a urine receiver provided with a urine suction opening to be applied to a urinating region, an air suction hole separate from said urine suction opening, and a urine outlet, a urine transport tube connected, at one end, with said urine outlet and connected, at the other end, with a urine tank, and a vacuum suction tube communicating with a vacuum suction device and connected to the upper part of said urine tank.
The urinating aid of the present inventional receives the urine of said patient, etc. in a urine receiver applied to his urinating region, and transports it to a urine tank through a urine transport tube forcedly together with air by vacuum suction, thereby overcoming the disadvantages of said conventional apparatus. In other words, even when said urine transport tube and said urine tank cannot be placed below said urine receiver, the present invention allows urine to be transported into the urine tank, without causing it to be flowed back.
In orderthatthe invention may be more clearly understood, the following description is given by way of example only with reference to the accom panyingdrawings in which:
Fig. 1 is an illustrative perspective view to show an embodiment of the general composition of the present invention. Fig. 2 is an illustrative perspective view to show the state of use. Fig. 3 (a) & (b), 4 and 5 (a) & (b) are respectively illustrative longitudinal sectional views to show embodiments of the urine receiver. Figs. 6 (a) & (b) and 7 (a) & (b) are respectively a general view, an illustrative longitudinal sectional view of a main portion and transverse sectional views to show an embodiment of applying the urine transport tube formed solidly with the control wires.Figs. 8 (aL fob), (c} and(d) respectively an iitus- trative sectional view of the general system, a circuit illustration and illustrative sectional views of a main portion to show anotherembodiment.
In the drawings, symbol 1 is a urine receiver. SaB urine receiver} is#providecl, at itsfOntside,wima urine suction opening 2 to be applied to a urinating region and, at a properplace,with an air suction hole 3 separately from said urine suction.operring 2, and further, at its rear side, with a urine outlet 4. Furthermore in the vacuum suction type urinating aid of the present invention, the urine outlet 4 of said urine receiver X is connected to one end of a urine transport tube 5, and the other end of said urine transport tube 5 is connected to a urine tank 6, said urine tank 6 being-connected, at its upper part, with a vacuum suction tube 7 communicating to a vacuum suction device V.
In this composition, when a patient feels a desire to urinate, he takes and operates a handle 8, to apply the urine suction opening 2 of the urine receiver 1 to his urinating region, and urinates into said urine receiver 1. Immediately before or after this action, a manual start switch (not illustrated) provided at a proper place such as the handle 8 is turned on, or for example, electric current flowing between a pair of electrodes e and e' provided in the passage of urine is detected through control wires land I' by a control device C, to start said vacuum suction device V.
Since vacuum pressure is applied to the urine outlet 4 of the urine receiver 1 through the vacuum suction tube 7, the urine tank 6 and the urine transport tube 5, air is sucked into the urine receiver 1 from said air suction hole 3 and the clearance between the urinating region and said urine suction opening 2. Therefore the urine discharged into the urine receiver through said urine suction opening 2 is sucked forcedly into the urine transport tube 5 from urine outlet 4, together with and by the air sucked into the urine receiver 1 from said air suction hole 3 and the clearance between said urine suction opening 2 and the urinating region, and is transported through said urine transport tube 5 into the urine tank 6.In this case, since the vacuum suction tube 7 communicating to the vacuum suction device V is connected to the upper part of the urine tank 6, urine is not sucked into the vacuum suction tube 7, but is collected in the urine tank 6, being separated from air by gravity.
Furthermore, since the air suction hole 3 is formed separately from the urine suction opening 2, it prevents the urine suction opening 2 from adhering to the urinating region of the patient otherwise caused by the vacuum pressure, to improve the feeling of using the aid, and even if the urine suction opening 2 is in close contact with the urinating region without any clearance, the volume of air to carry urine with can be always secured by the air sucked from the air suction hole 3, as effects of the air suction hole 3.
Thus, the present invention has a large feature that since the urine received by the urine receiver2 is sucked forcedly together with air into the urine transport tube by the vacuum suction device V, to be transported into the urine tank 6, urine does not flow back even if the urine transport tube 5 and the urine tank 6 becomes higher than said urine receiver 1,
and therefore that the place of use and urinating
pose are not restricted at all, as a urinating aid for
serious patients, the old lying in bed and patients
suffering from the incontinence of urine
In addition to the above feature, the present inven
tion has the following features in the compositions
of the respective embodiments shown in the draw hugs.
In the embodiment shown in Figs. 3 (a) and (b), an
air suction cap 10 equipped with a check valve 9 is
mounted in said air suction hole 3. Said check valve
9 can be formed by an elastic sheet such as rubber
sheet, and while it normally closes the air suction
hole 3 by its own elasticity as shown in Fig. 3 (a), it
leaves, at its one end, from the air suction cap 10 against its elasticity, to cause free suction of air as shown in Fig. 3 (b), when vacuum pressure is applied to the urine receiver 1 from said urine outlet 4. In this composition, the air suction into the urine receiver 1 from the air suction hole 3 is favorable, while the urine discharged from the urinating region cannot leak or scatter outside the urine receiver from the air suction hole 3 even if it directly hits said for suction hole 3, since it is prevented by the check valve 9.
Therefore, even when a physically handicapped patient uses the aid and moves his body during urination, the leak and scattering of urine can be prevented perfectly as a feature of this embodiment.
In the embodiment shown in Fig. 4, a pair of said electrodes e and e' are placed at an interval inside said urine outlet 4, and control wires I and I' connected respectively to said electrodes e and e' are connected to the control device C of said vacuum suction device V. In this composition, when there exists urine at said urine outlet 4, electric current flowing between said electrodes e and e' is detected by said control device C, and said vacuum suction device V is started by said control device C. The control device C can have any circuit configuration as far as it can detect such electric current and start said vacuum suction device V. Also said electrodes e and e' can be freely composed, but if they are shaped like rings, urine passing at any portion in the urine outlet 4 can be detected, and even a small arnount of urine can start the vacuum suction device V perfectly.This, embodiment has a feature that since the vacuum suction device V can be started automatically by detecting the existence of urine, the operation is simple, not causing any inconvenience of forgetting to turn on the switch or failing to turn on in time asin case of using a manual switch, and enabling a
patient himself to use easily. Said electrodes e and e' can be of course provided between the urine outlet4 and the urine transport tube 5, as shown in another
embodiment described later.
In the embodiment shown in Figs. 5 (a) and (b), a fitting hole 11 is formed at said urine outlet 4, and a
sealing part 13 such as 0 ring is provided around a
connection cylinder 12 at its end which can be freely
inserted in said urine outlet 4, with a fitting groove
14 provided around said connection cylinder 12 at a
position after said sealing part 13.An elastic collar 16
with a fitting protrusion 15 formed on the inside sur
face to suit said fitting hole 11 is put around said
urine outlet 4,with said fitting protrusion 15 inserted
through said fitting hole 11 into said fitting groove 14
of said connection cylinder 12, and one end of said urine transport tube5 5 is connected to said connec- tion cylinder 12, so that one end of said urine trans porttube 5 may be freely rotated against said urine outlet 4 through said connection cylinder 12 in their mutual connection, as a feature of this embodiment.
If the urine transport tube 5 cannot be rotated againstthe urine outlet 4 of the urine receiver, the urine transporttube 5 may be gradually twisted after repeating the operation of the urine receiver for every time of urination. Such twisting of the urine transport tube 5 acts on the urine receiver 1. Therefore, simple connection between the urine receiver 1 and the urine transport tube 5 makes it very inconvenientto operate the urine receiver panda powerless patientsuch as an old person lying in bed cannot apply the urine suction opening 2 to his urinating region properly.However, in this embodiment of the present invention, the urine receiver 1 and the urine transport tube 5 can be rotated relatively as mentioned above, and said twist of the urine transport tube 5 can be eliminated by the rotation of the connection cylinder 12 againstthe urine receiver 1 and is not transmitted. to the urine receiver 1. Therefore, even a powerless patient can apply the urine suction opening 2 to his urinating region properly and very easily, and even the he moves his body during urina- tion, the position can be secured.In other words, this embodiment has a large feature that a patient using the urine receiver 1 can use it by himself very easily in the optimum state, and in addition, a feature that the urine receiver can be kept easily by using a lifting hook, etc. shen it is not used, since it is not affected by the twist of the urine transport tube 5. Since the connectio n cylinder 12 has the sealing part 13 around it at its end, urine can never leak from the urine out let 4.
The ennbodiment shown in Figs. 6 (a) & (b) and 7 (a) & (b) is characterized in that the urine transport tube 5 c onnecting said urine outlet 4 with said urine tank 6 i; formed solidly with the control wires I and I' for con trolling said vacuum suction device V, outside the uri ne passage P. Said urine passage P and the contrc,lwires I and I' are formed solidly, for example, by do uble forming, and the control wires can be covered wires or bare wires. The control wires I and
I' car, be formed outside the urine passage P in the state of protrusion as shown in Fig. 7 (a), or in the state of no protrusion as shown in Fig. 7 (b). Said control wires I and I' are connected, at the ends of one side, to the manual start switch (not illustrated) prcwided properly at the handle 8 of the urine receiver t, etc., orto the electrodes e and e' provided atan interval inside the urine outlet 4 of the urine receiver1, or inside the connection cylinder 12, etc., and are connected, at the ends of the other side, to the control device C of the vacuum suction device V.
Thus, in this embodiment of the present invention, the start signal generating portion for the vacuum suction device V, provided in or near the urine
receiver 1 and the control device C of the vacuum
suction device V are connected by the control wires I
and I' which are solidly formed outside the urine
passage P.That is, since one urine transport tube 5 has boththe functions of start signal passage and urine passage P, the urinating aid is easy to handle and excellent in appearance, as a feature of the embodiment lfthewires are formed bycopperfoil spiral winding, the twist of the urine transporttube firycahe control wires I and iitcan be rninirnized The errabodimentshown in Figs. 8 (a) (bE, (clans (dais characterized inthata start svvitch SW providec at said urine receiver I is connected through one pair of thecentrol lines land I provided along said urine transport tuba 5 to the control device C of said vac uum suction device V; in the control device C, one of said control wires land i' is connected to a grounded
AC power source 17, while the other is connected to the input I of a switching circuit C', with an input diode D1 connected between said input I and the grounding to make the grounding side positive; and in said urine receiver 1, a light emitting diode D3 is connected to said control wires I and I' in parallel to said start switch SW so that the direction of the current by said input diode D1 may be forward.In this case, the start switch SW can be a manual switch (not illustrated) provided at the handle 8 of the urine receiver 1, etc. as mentioned before, or anything which generates a switching signal by detecting the drop by urine, of resistance between a pair of, for example, ring-shaped electrodes e and e' provided in the urine passage, as illustrated. Said control wires I and I' can be wound spirally around said urine transport tube 5, or formed solidly around said urine transport tube 5 as mentioned before, or composed in any other proper way, as far as they are provided along said urine transport tube 5. Said control device C and the switching circuit C' can be composed freely, and for example, a diode D2 for clipping input waveform, a variable resistor VR for sensitivity control, etc. can be arranged properly.In this composition, the operation of this embodiment is as described below. When there exists no urine between one pair of said electrodes e and e' in the urine passage or when the manual switch is not operated, AC negative half-cycle current flows in the circuit of the input diode D1, the control wire I, the light emitting diode D3, the control wire I' and the AC power source 17, to cause the light emitting diode D3 to light on. The AC positive half-cycle component is blocked by said light emitting diode Da and the input diode D1, and current does not flow in said circuit, and therefore since positive voltage is not applied to the input I, the switching circuit C' is not operated.
When a patient feels a desire to urinate, he applies the urine suction opening 2 of the urine receiver 1 to his urinating region, and urinates into said urine receiver. Immediately before or after this action, as mentioned before, the manual switch is turned on, or the urine wets the area between the electrodes e and e' of the urine passage, to decrease the resistance value, when the positive voltage of AC positive half-cycle component is applied from the AC power source 17, through the electrodes e and e' to the input 1. If the positive voltage exceeds the threshold value of the switching circuit C', the switching circuit
C' is operated.The operation of the switching circuit
C' causes a timer relay or any other proper control circuit to be operated, to start the vacuum suction device V, and the urine discharged from said urine suction opening 2 into the urine receiver I is sucked forcedly into the urine transport tube 5 together with and by the air sucked from the air suction hole3 and the clearance between the urine suction opening 2 and the urinating region, and is transported into the urine tank 6, being separiatefffrom air, to be cot- lected in said urine tank 6.Thus, even when the vacuum suction device V is operatedr currentof AC negative half-cycle componentflows through the input diode D, to the light emitting diode D3 as mentioned above, and therefore, the light emitting diode
D3 continues to always light on, irrespective of whether the vacuum suction device V is operated or not. Thus, in this embodiment, even when the urinating aid is used at night in a dark room, the position of the urine receiver 1 can be confirmed immediately by the light of the light emitting diode D3, and it is not necessary to grope for the urine receiver 1. Apatient can use the urinating aid as soon as he feels a desire to urinate, and it cannot occur that he is not be in time for urination because of darkness, allowing steady urination.Furthermore, the light emitting diode D3 continues to light on even when the vacuum suction device V is operated, and therefore, the position of the urine receiver 1 can be confirmed during use, to permit urination in the optimum pose as an effect of this embodiment. Since the light emit ting diode D3 enables the position of the urine receiver 1 to be confirmed by its light, it can be set at any position as far as the position satisfies the objective. For example, said light emitting diode D3 can be set at the position shown in Fig. 8 (a) to expose the light, or with the urine receiver 1 made of any material capable of transmitting light, the front edge of the urine receiver 1, etc. can be illuminated indirectly as shown in Figs. (c) and (d), as a matter of course.The present invention has the effect as mentioned above, by setting the light emitting diode D3 in the urine receiver 1, and the powerto the light emitting diode
D3 is supplied by utilizing the control wires I and I' connecting the start switch of the urine receiver 1 with the control device C of the vacuum suction device V. Therefore, any additional wires for the light emitting diode are not required, to lower the cost and to simplify the composition, as a large feature.
As described above in detail, the vacuum suction type urinating aid of the present invention has a feature that even when the urine transport tube and the urine tank cannot be placed below the urine receiver, urine can be collected perfectly in the urine tank without causing the urine to flow back, and therefore that a patient, etc. can urinate, lying in bed, etc., with no restriction on the place of use or ruinating pose, since the urine received by the urine receiver applied to the urinating region of the patient, etc. is transported forcedly together with air in the urine transport tube by vacuum suction to the urine tank. Thus, the present invention enables such people to urinate, using the aid in bed, when necessary, as the old lying in bed, serious patients, patients suffering from the incontinence of urine, etc. who cannot control their urination as soon as they feel a desire to urinate, and patients who cannot go to the toilet alone, irrespective of whether they live in private housesor hospitai Thequalityofnursingforsuch patients can be thus improved remaricably.
