Portable Urine Container

Abstract

A device to collect urine and then store the urine securely and prevented from spilling is described in this application. A lid is provided to insure that the urine does not spill once it is collected. The urine is deposited into the container and will not spill from the vessel even if the vessel is knocked over because of a specifically insert that prevents the urine from spilling if the container is accidentally dropped. The user can easily empty the contents by tilting the container so that the urine flows through an opening in the specially tapered insert.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0020] This device 5 will be used to collect and store urine, particularly on long trips. It will allow the individual to relieve himself or herself without interruption of travel. It will have a tapered insert 15 in the opening of the container 25. The tapered insert can be made as part of the container or be removable. The user will deposit the urine into the container 25 through the tapered insert and then reseal the top using the lid 10 for that purpose. External threads are provided to attach the lid 10 to the container 25.

[0021] A flared opening 20 that is formed as part of the tapered insert and located on the side of the insert will be provided. After the urine is deposited into the container, the user will remove the lid 10 and tilt the container 25 so that the urine will flow through the tapered opening 20 on the side of the tapered insert 15. The user would then use the lid to reseal the container. A handle 30 is provided for the convenience of the user.

[0022] A deodorizer (not depicted) may be inserted into the container to address the smell issue of stored urine.

[0023] When the device is emptied, the user grabs the handle 30 and tilts the vessel so that the urine flows through the flared opening 20 such as depicted in FIG. 4. Once the contents of the container 25 are emptied the user reattaches the lid 10.

[0024] While the embodiments of the invention have been disclosed, certain modifications may be made by those skilled in the art to modify the invention without departing from the spirit of the invention.
