Abstract
A urine collecting apparatus includes a condom for receiving the penis of a user. A container receives urine from the condom. A conduit extends from the condom to the container. There is a first one-way valve along the conduit which permits a flow of urine from the condom towards the container and prevents a reverse flow of urine towards the condom. There is a resilient squeeze bulb along the conduit between the first one-way valve and the container for pumping urine towards the container when the bulb is squeezed and for providing a suction in the condom when released after squeezing.
Claims3
A urine collecting apparatus, comprising:
- a condom;
- a container for receiving urine from the condom;
- a conduit extending from the condom to the container;
- first means for permitting a flow of urine from the condom towards the container and preventing a reverse flow of urine towards the condom, said first means including a first one-way valve;
- a resilient squeeze bulb along the conduit between the first one-way valve and the container for pumping urine towards the container when the bulb is squeezed and for providing a suction in the condom when released after squeezing;
- second means for permitting a flow of urine into the container and preventing a reverse flow of urine towards the bulb from the container, said second means comprising a second one-way valve between the bulb and the container;
- and
- third means for selectively releasing suction in the condom including a release valve between the first one-way valve and the condom.
