ABSTRACT:
A urinary device which is principally but not exclusively intended for female and which enables urination from a standing or sitting position. The urinal device which provides for both conduction and collection modes comprises an upper bowl member and a removable lower conducting and/or collector member which is suspended from the lower portion of the bowl member. The lower conducting and collector member is formed of a waterproof material which is sufficiently relatively flexible whereby it can be folded or compressed upon itself and stored within the bowl member until use when it is extended to operating position. The distal end of the lower conducting/collector member is provided with a tapered discharge opening and with means for sealing the discharge opening to contain the discharged urine when used in the collecting mode. The upper opening of the bowl member is contoured to envelope the perineum when in position for use. The upper bowl cover when in the closed position provides a liquid tight seal and when in the open position extends forwardly and serves as a handle which aids in holding and manipulating the urinal device into and out of position for use. In a preferred embodiment the bowl member is provided with a lower cover to maintain the lower conductor/collector member in folded position within the bowl member. In the folded and cover closed mode, the urinal device can be carried in a woman's handbag and is contoured to be esthetically pleasing.
