The disclosure and prior art relates to bedpan devices and more particularly pertains to a new bedpan device for receiving a scrotum and a penis of an obese person for allowing them to urinate therein.
An embodiment of the disclosure meets the needs presented above by generally comprising a container that has a bottom wall, a top wall and a perimeter wall that is attached to and extends between the top wall and the bottom wall such that a receiving space is formed therein. The receiving space is configured to hold urine. The perimeter wall has a front side, a back side, a first lateral side and a second lateral side. The top wall has an opening that extends therethrough. The top wall extends from the front side toward a central area of the top wall. The opening has a perimeter edge that is angled upwardly from the front side to the central area. A conduit is fluidly coupled to container and is in fluid communication with the receiving space. A cap is removably positioned on the conduit to close the conduit.
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
A handle 34 is attached to and extends upwardly from the top wall 14. The handle 34 is positioned nearer to the back side 22 than the front side 20. A conduit 36 is fluidly coupled to container and is in fluid communication with the receiving space 18 and may be positioned on the back side 22 and adjacent to the bottom wall 12. A cap 38 is removably positioned on the conduit 36 to close the conduit 36. The cap 38 may be secured in a conventional manner and in particular the cap 38 may be threadably coupled to the conduit 36.
In use, the lip 32 is placed under the scrotum such that the scrotum and penis of a person are positioned within the receiving space 18 and the lip 32 is between the scrotum and the perineum. Then person then urinates into the assembly 10 wherein the receiving space 18 holds the urine. The handle 34 is used to hold the assembly 10 in position while urinating therein and thereafter carry the assembly 10 such that the urine is not displaced from the receiving space 18. To empty the assembly 10, the assembly 10 is positioned over a toilet and the cap 38 is removed to open the conduit 36 such that the urine is released from the receiving space 18 and outwardly toward the toilet.
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.
