Portable urinal systems and methods of collecting urine

摘要

A portable urinal system including a handheld urinal and a reservoir. The handheld urinal has a neck assembly, with a user operated neck valve assembly permitting urine to flow through the neck assembly, and a urinal cup coupled to the neck assembly so that upon use of the urinal and operation of the neck valve assembly by the user, urine flows through the neck assembly into the urinal cup. The reservoir has a larger volume than the urinal cup and includes a lid assembly with a substantially rigid spout assembly and a reservoir cup. Urine is transferred from the urinal to the reservoir when the user couples the urinal cup to the spout assembly and opens the spout assembly such that urine collected in the urinal cup drains into the reservoir cup.

1. A portable urinal system comprising:
a handheld urinal comprising a neck assembly configured to receive urine from the urethral opening of a user and including a user operated neck valve assembly that when in a normal closed position prevents urine flow through the neck assembly, and when opened by a user permits urine to flow through the neck assembly, a urinal cup coupled to the neck assembly so that upon use of the urinal and opening of the neck valve assembly by the user, urine flows through the neck assembly into the urinal cup; a reservoir having a larger volume than the urinal cup comprising a lid assembly including a substantially rigid spout assembly configured to receive the neck assembly of the urinal such that the configuration of the neck assembly inserted into the spout assembly prevents spillage of urine transferred from the urinal to the reservoir, and a reservoir cup configured to store urine received from the urinal via the spout assembly.
