ABSTRACT:
A urine collection vessel is coupled to the body of a person by means of a partial vacuum created within the collection vessel. An air flow valve at the output of the vessel is adjustable to control the degree of a partial vacuum created within the vessel as well as establishing control over the velocity of air flow through the valve and down the associated conduit through which urine is conducted to a reservoir in which the urine is accumulated. The device is intended for use primarily by people who are troubled with prostate or bladder problems which, without the use of the invention, would make it necessary for these persons to frequently fully rouse themselves from sleep and to exit from their beds in order to void their bladders in the course of the night.
