The disclosure and prior art relates to urination devices and more particularly pertains to a new urination device for facilitating a female to urinate while standing up.
An embodiment of the disclosure meets the needs presented above by generally comprising a cone. The cone is selectively aligned with female genitalia thereby facilitating the cone to direct a flow of urine in a selected direction. A coating is positioned on the cone. The coating is comprised of a resinous material such that the coating facilitates structural rigidity to the cone.
There has thus been outlined, rather broadly, the more important features of the disclosure in order that the detailed description thereof that follows may be better understood, and in order that the present contribution to the art may be better appreciated. There are additional features of the disclosure that will be described hereinafter and which will form the subject matter of the claims appended hereto.
The objects of the disclosure, along with the various features of novelty which characterize the disclosure, are pointed out with particularity in the claims annexed to and forming a part of this disclosure.
The disclosure will be better understood and objects other than those set forth above will become apparent when consideration is given to the following detailed description thereof. Such description makes reference to the annexed drawings wherein:
With reference now to the drawings, and in particular to
As best illustrated in
The cone 12 has a first end 20, a second end 22 and an outer wall 24 extending therebetween. Each of the first end 20 and the second end 22 are open. The outer wall 24 tapers inwardly between the first end 20 and the second end 22. The first end 20 is selectively positioned against the female genitalia 14 thereby facilitating the first end 20 to capture the urine 16. The outer wall 24 has an inside surface 26.
The cone 12 is comprised of a fluid permeable material. Thus, the cone 12 degrades when the cone 12 is flushed down a toilet. The fluid impermeable material may be a non-woven fabric or the like. Thus, the non-woven fabric may disintegrate when the non-woven fabric is exposed to water.
A coating 28 is provided and the coating 28 is positioned on the cone 12. The coating 28 is comprised of a resinous material. Thus, the coating 28 imparts structural rigidity to the cone 12. The coating 28 is comprised of a fluidly resilient material. Thus, the coating 28 resists being dissolved by the urine 16. The coating 28 dissolves when the cone 12 is flushed down the toilet thereby facilitating the cone 12 to degrade. Moreover, the coating 28 is positioned on the inside surface 26 of the cone 12 and the coating 28 completely covers the inside surface 26.
As shown in
In use, the cone 12 is positioned against the female's genitalia 14 when the female 18 is urinating in a public bathroom or the like. The first end 20 captures the urine 16 and the second end 22 directs the urine 16 into a toilet. Thus, the female 18 does not have to sit on an unclean or otherwise contaminated toilet. The coating 28 resists being dissolved by the urine 16. The cone 12 is flushed down the toilet when the female 18 is finished urinating. The coating 28 dissolves when the cone 12 is exposed to water for an extended period of time. Thus, the cone 12 degrades in the water.
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.
