Portable female urinal

A portable urinal comprising:

• an inter-labial urinal having a bottom and an open top, the inter-labial urinal having a peripheral wall, the inter-labial urinal having an outlet cylinder, the peripheral wall formed with a peripheral edge at the open top, a covering at the peripheral edge, the inter-labial urinal having a left side wall and a right side wall separated by a width, the inter-labial urinal having a front wall and a rear wall separated by a length, the outlet cylinder extending downwardly from the inter-labial urinal, the bottom and side walls and front and rear walls forming a chamber and being fabricated of a generally rigid plastic material with limited flexibility, the side walls and front and rear walls forming the peripheral edge at the open top, the peripheral edge of the open top of the side walls of the inter-labial urinal being laterally positionable inter-labially between the labia majora to cover soft mucosal tissue of a user's genitalia surrounding the urethral orifice, within the labia majora, anterior to the anus, and extending anteriorly toward the soft tissue overlying the pubic symphysis, the peripheral walls including a generally rectangular front wall and a generally rectangular rear wall separated by a length, the peripheral walls including a generally rectangular left side wall and a generally rectangular parallel right side wall separated by a width of from 2.0 centimeters plus or minus 25 percent for positioning laterally interior of a user's labia majora and over vestibule, the peripheral walls having linear edges in a rectangular configuration, the peripheral edge of the open top of the side walls of the inter-labial urinal being held in place adhesive and insert free during use solely by the user;
• a container having an upper opening and a periphery;
• and
• a tube with an upper end received on the outlet cylinder of the inter-labial urinal, the tube having a lower end positionable in the container, the tube having an intermediate extent positionable through a central passageway of the container upper opening during use.

A female portable urinal (10) for facilitating inter-labial positioning and urine collecting, the positioning and collecting being done in a sanitary, safe, discreet, convenient and economical manner, the system comprising, in combination:

• an inter-labial collector (14), a container (16), a container closure (18) and a tube (20) functioning as an exit straw;
• the inter-labial collector having a generally rectilinear configuration with a bottom (24), an opening in the bottom to the drain and an open top (26), the bottom and the open top being separated centrally by a depth of 4.0 centimeters plus or minus 25 percent, the inter-labial collector having a left side wall (28) and a parallel right side wall (30) separated by a width of 2.0 centimeters plus or minus 25 percent, the inter-labial collector having a front wall (32) and a rear wall (34) separated by a length of 4.0 centimeters plus or minus 25 percent, the inter-labial urinal having an outlet cylinder (36) extending from the bottom, the bottom and side walls and front and rear walls being fabricated of a generally rigid plastic material with limited flexibility, the side walls and front and rear walls forming a peripheral edge (38) adjacent to the open top, a soft pliable air-filled chamber (40) covering the peripheral edge, the air filled chamber having a diameter of 3.00 millimeter plus or minus 25 percent, the inter-labial collector during use being laterally positionable and held inter-labially solely by a user's fingers, adhesive free and insert free between the labia majora covering soft tissue of a user's genitalia surrounding the urethral orifice, within the labia majora, anterior to the anus, and extending anteriorly toward the soft tissue overlying the pubic symphysis;
• the container having a closed base (56) and an upper opening (58) and a periphery, the upper opening having male threads (60), the container adapted to be supported between the thighs of the user during use, the container being fabricated of a plastic material and adapted to receive urine from the inter-collector;
• the container closure having a cylindrically-shaped component (64) with female threads (66) removably received on the male threads of the container, the cylindrically-shaped component having a raised central section (68) with a central passageway (70) and air exit vent holes (72), the container closure having a dome-shaped component (74), the dome-shaped component having an interior sealing ring (76) positionable on the raised central section, the dome-shape component also have an intermediate sealing ring (78) positionable on the cylindrically-shaped component adjacent to the raised central section, the dome-shaped component also having an exterior sealing ring (80) positionable on the cylindrically-shaped component remote from the raised central section, the container closure having a living hinge (82) coupling the cylindrically-shaped component and the dome-shaped component, the dome-shaped component being spaced from the cylindrically-shaped component prior to and during use, the dome-shaped component covering the cylindrically-shaped component after use, the container closure being fabricated of a plastic material;
• the tube (20) having an upper end received on the outlet cylinder of the collector, the tube having a lower end positionable in the container, the tube having an intermediate extent positionable through the central passageway of the container closure during use, the entire tube positioned within the container after use with the dome-shaped component positioned in a leakproof manner over the cylindrically-shaped component and the container;
• and
• a container (104), fabricated of an elastomeric material and configured, prior to use, generally flat with parallel inner and outer flat side faces (106) positionable between the user's thighs wherein urine entering the container will expand the side faces into a three dimensional shape, the container including a support pouch (120) in a rectilinear configuration with a closed bottom and closed sides and an open top removably receiving the container, the support pouch being constructed to include a mesh material for facilitating expansion during use, a strap (108) with free ends (110), hook and loop strips (114) on the strap adjacent to the free ends adapted for positioning around a user's thigh, hook and loop patches (112) on the support pouch and on the strap remote from the free ends to facilitate positioning of the container between the user's thighs.
