 FIGS. 1, 2 and 5 and 6 show an embodiment of a diaper with a urine collector in combination with a commercially available disposable diaper for babies.

First, with reference to FIG. 5, an overview of the entire diaper will be described. A diaper 1 includes a crotch part 2 provided with gathers 3 and 3 on both sides and a crotch part 2 extending over the abdomen and back of an infant. It is integrally provided with wrapping pieces 4 and 4 projecting to both sides at the ends, and fastening tapes 5 and 5 are attached to the wrapping pieces 4 and 4 at the front end extending to the ventral side. ing. Here, as shown in FIG. 1, the crotch portion 2 has a structure in which the outer surface side of a thick absorbent material 6 rich in water permeability and water retention is covered with a water impermeable film 7.

The crotch part 2 of the diaper 1 is provided with a urine collector 8 according to the present invention by selecting a part near the central part which is a urine discharging part. As shown in FIG. 1, the urine collector 8 is composed of a urine collector 9 attached to the inner surface side of the crotch portion 2 and a urine reservoir 10 attached to the outer surface side of the crotch portion 2. Both of them are formed of a flexible hollow plastic molded product, and it is desirable that at least the urine reservoir 10 is formed of a transparent material whose inside can be observed.

The urine collector 9 is composed of a cup-shaped urine collector body 11 made of a thin-walled elastic body having a urine through hole 12 in the shaft center portion, and a body urinary hole surrounding the urine through hole 12 and integrated with the body shaft center portion. The cylindrical mounting portion 13 is continuously provided, and an internal thread 14 is engraved on the inner circumference of the cylindrical mounting portion 13.

On the other hand, the urine reservoir 10 is composed of a urine reservoir body 15 formed of a flat cylindrical container and a cylindrical mounting portion 16 integrally projecting from the axial center of the body. A male screw 17 is engraved on the outer circumference. Further, an insertion port 19 for the urine test paper TP 1 which is liquid-tightly closed by a tape 18 or a easily breakable thin film sealing plug is provided on one side of the outer circumference of the urine body 15.

Further, in the urine reservoir body 15, the urine N collected in the urine reservoir 10 is provided on the inner circumference of the cylindrical mounting portion 16 forming the urine passage 20 from the urine collector 9 to the urine reservoir 10. A backflow prevention mechanism 21 for preventing backflow to the inner surface side is fitted. As shown in FIG. 2, the backflow prevention mechanism 21 has an outlet 22 for the inner circumference of the cylindrical mounting portion 16 in the upper part and foreign matter such as organic waste in urine and a solidifying agent contained in the diaper absorbent material in the lower part. A filter accommodating portion 23 for accommodating a filter 24 for filtering is provided, and a thin film valve body 25 that is opened by the weight of urine N dropped through the filter 24 is provided at the bottom opening of the filter accommodating portion 23. It consists of a structure.

When attaching the urine collector 8 composed of the urine collector 9 and the urine reservoir 10, the inner surface of the diaper crotch pad 2 is provided with a through hole 40 that is drilled in advance or at the time of attachment. After inserting the cylindrical mounting portion 13 on the urine collector 9 side from the side, the cylindrical mounting portion 16 on the urine reservoir 10 side is screwed into the inner circumference of the cylindrical mounting portion 13 from the outer surface side. By doing so, as shown in FIG. 1, the urine collector 9 and the urine reservoir 10 are integrally assembled in a state in which the diaper 1 is sandwiched from the inside and the outside, and the cylindrical mounting portion 13 and the cylindrical mounting portion 16 which form a joint portion. A urine passage 20 that connects the urine through hole 12 of the urine collector body 11 and the urine reservoir body 15 is formed in the hollow portion of the urine passage body 20.

When the diaper 1 is worn by a patient such as an infant with the urine collector 8 attached, when the patient urinates, the cup-shaped urine collector body 11 attached to the inner surface of the diaper captures the diaper 1. The collected urine N flows down through the urine passage 20 from the urine through hole 12 opening at the axial center of the urine passage 20 and is filtered by the backflow prevention mechanism 21 interposed in the urine passage 20. As shown by the chain double-dashed line, it flows into the urine reservoir body 15 and is stored therein. Therefore, if this diaper with a urine collector is used, the urine N required for urine examination can be collected by simply wearing the diaper 1 without the need to monitor the patient's urination time or attending. It can be easily collected in the reservoir 10.

If the backflow prevention mechanism 21 is provided in the urine passage 20 extending from the urine collector 9 to the urine reservoir 10, the urine N collected in the urine reservoir 10 is turned over by the patient or the diaper is replaced. At times, it is possible to accurately prevent backflow to the inner surface side of the diaper.

Thus, the urine N collected and stored in the urine reservoir 10 on the outer surface side of the diaper will be subjected to a necessary urine test after the diaper is replaced. As also described in 1, the opening 19 provided on the outer periphery of the urine reservoir body 15 is opened, and the urine test strip TP is inserted into the urine reservoir body 15 that stores the urine N, and the test strip TP is replaced. By observing the response, it is devised so that a urine test can be easily performed at home. In addition, as shown in FIG. 6, a control for checking the color tone of urination is provided on the outer surface side of the diaper crotch portion 2 to which the urine collector 8 (urine reservoir 10) is attached in relation to the purpose of the urine test. It is convenient to attach or print Table A and Control Table B for checking the reaction of urine test strip TP.
