DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

With reference now to the drawings, and in particular to FIGS. 1 through 5 thereof, a new urinal device embodying the principles and concepts of an embodiment of the disclosure and generally designated by the reference numeral 10 will be described.

As best illustrated in FIGS. 1 through 5, the contoured urinal assembly 10 generally comprises a bottle 12 that has an angled neck 14. The angled neck 14 facilitates a user to insert the user's penis into the angled neck 14 for urine collection. The bottle 12 has a bottom end 16, a top end 18 and an outer wall 20 extending therebetween. The top end 18 is open into an interior of the bottle 12 and the penis can be positioned in the top end 18. The outer wall 20 is curved between the bottom end 16 and the top end 18 such that the top end 18 lies on a plane that is angled with the bottom end 16.

The outer wall 20 has ounces indicia 22 printed thereon comprising a graduated scale for measuring 38 fluid volume in fluid ounces. Additionally, the outer wall 20 has cubic centimeter indicia 24 printed thereon comprising a graduated scale for measuring 38 fluid volume in cubic centimeters. The bottle 12 may have a fluid capacity of approximately 900 ml. A handle 36 is coupled to the bottle 12 for gripping. The handle 36 extends away from the outer wall 20 of the bottle 12. Additionally, the handle 36 extends toward the bottom end 16 of the bottle 12.

A ring 38 extends around the bottle 12 and the ring 38 is coextensive with the top end 18 of the bottle 12. The ring 38 has an inwardly facing side 40 and the inwardly facing side 40 is beveled. In this way the inwardly facing side 40 enhances comfort for the penis. Additionally, the ring 38 is comprised of a resiliently compressible material to enhance comfort for the user.

A saddle 42 is coupled to the ring 38 and the penis is positioned on the saddle 42 when the penis is inserted into the bottle 12. In this way the saddle 42 inhibits the penis from being abraded. The saddle 42 extends into the bottle 12 to direct the penis into the bottle 12 for urine collection. Additionally, the saddle 42 is concavely arcuate with respect to the top end 18 of the bottle 12. The saddle 42 may be comprised of a resiliently compressible material for enhancing comfort for the user.

In use, the user inserts the user's penis into the bottle 12 for urine collection. The penis is positioned on the saddle 42 while the bottle 12 is held for urine collection. In this way the saddle 42 inhibits the penis from being abraded during 38 urine collection. Thus, the user can comfortably urinate into the bottle 12 when the user is bedridden, confined to a wheelchair or otherwise incapable of using a traditional bathroom. Additionally, the bottle 12 may be employed in a medical environment to collect urine for analysis or the like.

With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized that the optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of an embodiment enabled by the disclosure, to include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function and manner of operation, assembly and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are intended to be encompassed by an embodiment of the disclosure.

Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the disclosure. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the disclosure to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the disclosure. In this patent document, the word “comprising” is used in its non-limiting sense to mean that items following the word are included, but items not specifically mentioned are not excluded. A reference to an element by the indefinite article “a” does not exclude the possibility that more than one of the element is present, unless the context clearly requires that there be only one of the elements.
