Abstract
A portable waste collection device comprises a first container and an adjacent second container. The first container has an interior volume adapted to receive and contain waste. The second container has an interior volume adapted to contain a flushing solution. The second container has a discharge port adapted to permit flushing solution contained in the second container to be discharged from the second container into the first container. The second container comprises a pump for pumping a desired amount of the flushing solution from the second container into the first container.
Claims26
A portable urine collection device comprising:
- a first container having an interior volume adapted to receive and contain urine;
- and
- a second container adjacent to the first container, the second container having an interior volume adapted to contain a flushing solution, the second container having a discharge port adapted to permit flushing solution contained in the second container to be discharged from the second container into the first container;
- wherein the second container comprises a pump for pumping a desired amount of the flushing solution from the second container into the first container;
- and
- wherein a body portion of the second container is collapsible and comprises said pump, said pump being operable by causing the body portion of the second container to at least partially collapse in a manner to reduce the interior volume of the second container and thereby cause the desired amount of the flushing solution to be discharged from the second container into the first container.
A portable urine collection device comprising:
- a first container having an interior volume adapted to receive and contain urine;
- and
- a second container adjacent to the first container, the second container having a variable interior volume adapted to contain a flushing solution, the second container having a discharge port adapted to permit flushing solution contained in the second container to be discharged from the second container into the first container;
- wherein the second container is operable in a manner to cause the variable interior volume of the second container to vary between a first volume and a second volume, the second volume being smaller than the first volume, whereby operation of the second container in a manner to at least partially collapse the interior volume of the second container causes an amount of the flushing solution from the second container to be discharged into the first container.
A method of collecting urine in a portable collection device, the method comprising the steps of:
- providing a collection device having a first container adapted to receive and contain urine, and an adjacent second container having a variable interior volume containing a flushing solution and a discharge port for carrying flushing solution from the second container into the first container;
- depositing urine in the first container of the collection device;
- and
- at least partially collapsing the interior volume of the second container in a manner to pump a desired amount of the flushing solution from the second container into the first container.
