The support unit provides for the transfer of urine and fecal waste of bedridden physically disabled patients to sewerage without touching. The support also has a very simple and practical use due to its various positions. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A support unit for a physically disabled patient support unit comprising: a functional underwear device comprising pallets configured to be fixed to the patient after centering the anus of the patient over the device after separating the buttocks to both sides, the pallets configured to support both calves of the patient and are configured to move independently; a silicone shell casing on the device, an upper portion end part of the silicone shell casing configured to contact an area around the anus when an inclined waste pump supported by a rail mechanism located on a lower portion of the support device is lifted, the inclined waste pump being mounted inside the functional underwear device and configured to provide fluidity to wastes and ensure the descent of the wastes into a waste storage positioned below a seat portion of the support unit; an electromechanical motor which rotates a borer inside the inclined waste pump; an electromagnetic coil boated inside the rail mechanism configured to ensure a flow of the waste into the inclined waste pump in a controlled manner by rapidly controlling an opening of a slide, the slide being configured to be pulled open by the electromagnetic coil mechanism when activated by a warning of motion sensors when the motion sensors detect waste of the patient, the slide, when closed, being configured to provides a hygienic environment by closing off relationship between the patient and the waste storage; a urine removal apparatus attached to a chassis of the device and configured to be located between the legs of the patient, the urine removal apparatus containing a motion sensor and a urine area ejector, the urine area ejector configured to enable a washing and cleaning of the urine removal apparatus with a hygienic material, a tapered duct with an upper portion mounted inside the functional underwear device beneath the silicone shell casing and whose lower portion is fixed to a top cover of the slide with a ring, two sides of the tapered duct being configured with motion sensor channels, the ring being provided with a plurality of holes with different inclinations according to an inner wall of the tapered duct, the plurality of holes being configured to allow a flow of water and air from a water-air inlet opening; a moving step connected to the chassis of the support unit that is configured to be used as a step by the patient; a pipe mounted inside the moving step and configured to transfer the waste from the waste pump to a waste transfer station. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The support unit according to claim 1 further comprising a storage outlet pipe connected to an end of the pipe mounted inside the moving step. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The support unit according to claim 1, wherein an inner surface of the tapered duct comprises a slippery smooth material. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The support unit according to claim 1, wherein a material of the silicone shell casing comprises a soft silicone, and the upper portion end part of the silicone shell casing that is configured to be in contact with the anus is thin and flexible. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The support unit according to claim 1, wherein surfaces of the pallets and surfaces of the functional underwear device that are configured to be in contact with the patient are coated with a material that comprises one or more of an antiperspirant, an anti-bacterial, a soft viscose sponge or an air-inflatable pad. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The support unit according to claim 1 wherein a distance between the upper portion end part of the silicone shell casing and the area around the anus is 4-5 mm when the inclined waste pump is in a lowered position, and wherein the upper portion end part of the silicone shell casing is configured to contact the area around the anus only when the motion sensors detect a discharge of waste from the patient and when the inclined waste pump is lifted. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The support unit according to claim 1, wherein a portion of the chassis of the support unit is configured to be positioned between the legs of the patient, a mechanism is mounted to this portion of the chassis and is configured to support the urine removal apparatus and enable a level adjustment of the urine removal apparatus towards an area where the urine exits. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The support unit according to claim 1, wherein the electromagnetic coil is a two-stage electromagnetic coil mechanism that is configured to provide a mechanical response to a detection of waste by the motion sensors.
