Urine meter valve with tamper indicator

A multiple use valve assembly having means for permitting only small samples to be taken therefrom and further means for permitting larger samples therefrom, said valve comprising:

• a housing having a front portion and a rear portion, said housing having a generally longitudinal opening therethrough;
• an intake opening at one end of said housing and a large sample discharge opening at the other end of said housing;
• a sealable sampling port for taking small urine samples from said housing, adjacent its intake opening;
• a biased release means in said housing adjacent its discharge opening for the discharge of large samples of urine thereby;
• a tamper evident means associated with said housing and said biased release means to indicate any discharge of urine through said larger sample means by the use of said biased release means;
• an elongated adapter comprising the intake opening of said housing, said elongated adapter having a generally longitudinally directed bore therethrough;
• said elongated adapter having said sampling port through a sidewall thereof, said sampling port being in fluid communication with said bore;
• and
• a flexible tube secured to the discharge end of said elongated adapter, said flexible tube extending through said biased release means and open at the discharge opening said housing;
• said tamper evident means comprising a frangible panel disposed in said rear portion of said housing, in alignment with said biasing means disposed through said front housing, wherein displacement of said biased means so as to undistort said flexible tube to permit the flow of urine therethrough, will fracture said frangible panel in said rear housing, thus indicating the large sampling means' use.
