## Abstract

A urine collection system having an elongated shaft with a first end and a second end, a first ring on the first end of the shaft, and a handle on the second end of the shaft, wherein a urine cup is removably held in the first ring, wherein the shaft is rigid, wherein the handle is a second ring, wherein the first ring and the second ring occupy the same planar surface, and wherein the first ring has a diameter larger than that of the second ring.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A urine collection system (100) comprising:
(a) an elongated shaft (110) having a first end (111) and a second end (112); a first ring (120a) disposed on the first end (111) of the shaft (110); and a handle (120b) disposed on the second end (112) of the shaft (110), wherein the handle (120b) is a second ring, wherein the shaft (110) has uniform width along the shaft length, wherein the width is smaller than the diameters of both the first and second rings; and
(b) a first urine cup (101) having a lip, and a second urine cup having a lip, wherein the first and second urine cups are inserted into the first ring and second ring, respectively, wherein the lip of the cups rests on the respective rings.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The system (100) of claim 1, wherein the shaft (110) is rigid.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The system (100) of claim 1, wherein the first ring (120a) and the second ring occupy the same planar surface.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The system (100) of claim 1, wherein the first ring (120a) has a diameter larger than the diameter of the second ring (120b).

### Claim 5

A urine collection system (100) consisting of:
(a) an elongated shaft (110) having a first end (111) and a second end (112) a first ring (120a) disposed on the first end (111) of the shaft (110); and a handle (120b) disposed on the second end (112), of the shaft (110), wherein the handle (120b) is a second ring, wherein the shaft (110) has uniform width along the shaft length, wherein the width is smaller than the diameters of both the first and second rings; and
(b) a first urine cup having a lip, and a second urine cup having a lip, wherein the first and second urine cups are inserted into the first ring and second ring, respectively, wherein the lip of the cups rests on the respective rings;
wherein the first ring (120a), and the second ring occupy the same planar surface;
wherein the first ring (120a) has a diameter larger than the diameter of the second ring (120b).
