ABSTRACT:
A receptacle designed to aid in both the reception and the containing of emesis or vomit which significantly prevents spilling and splashing therefrom. The receptacle is portable and includes a main body defining an emesis containment chamber therein. A neck which includes a neck conduit extending therethrough is secured to an opening in communication with the emesis containment chamber to facilitate the flow of emesis therein. A mouthpiece means which is arcuate and is designed to universally abut the surrounding mouth area of a patient or user to further minimize any possibility of external splashing or leakage of emesis during use. A baffling device is included as well as optionally a one-way valve within the conduit defined in the neck to minimize back flow or splashing or spillage upwardly therethrough. Preferably a handle may be included including two handles which can be grasped by a user during use or which alternatively defined downwardly extending slots which can be secured to surrounding environmental structure such as bed rails to further aid retaining of the receptacle during usage. An auxiliary opening with detachable cap means therefore may be also defined in the main body of the receptacle. The neck and conduit are preferably oriented at an oblique angle with respect to the containment chamber to facilitate fluid movement therethrough and prevent back flow or back splashing.
