Abstract

A urine collection vessel includes: a narrow cylindrical container tube (2) for containing urine provided with an end closed and the other end opened; a narrow cylindrical urine collection tube (3) for collecting urine provided with an end closed, the other end which is opened and freely connected or disconnected to the opened end of the container tube (2) and a urine collection inlet (33) provided at the side of the urine collection tube; and a narrow cylindrical cover tube for closing the urine collection inlet (33) provided with an end closed and the other end opened and has a slightly larger diameter than the diameter of the urine collection tube (3) such that the urine collection tube (3) is freely inserted into and removed from the cover tube. Part of the urine collection tube (3) ranging from the urine collection inlet (33) to the closed end is formed as a measuring part (31) which contains and measures a predetermined amount of urine. Also included is a cap which closes the opened end of the container tube (2). The urine collection vessel further includes a protrusion (38) formed on the outer circumference surface of the urine collection tube (3) and a recess into which the projection (38) is fitted when the urine collection tube (3) is inserted into the cover tube. The urine collection tube (3) and the cover tube are simultaneously detached from the container tube (2).
