Problems solved by technology

It is known that many times toilet seats in public areas may be unsanitary and there may be no disposable seat covers available.
Other times females may have discomfort due to post-surgical situations that involve vaginal stitches.
Also, post-cosmetic surgery may require confining undergarments that are difficult to remove quickly prior to urinating in a seated position.
Many of these devices are medical type catheter devices that are expensive and are designed for long-term use.

Abstract

A female urination apparatus including a collapsible body having an upper end and a lower end; the body being operable between a collapsed storage position and an expanded operating position; an upper opening disposed in the upper end having a substantially flat shape when in the collapsed storage position and a substantially oval shape when in the expanded operating position; a lower opening disposed in the lower end having a substantially flat shape when in the collapsed storage position and a substantially oval shape when in the expanded operating position; and a fluid passageway disposed through the body connecting the upper opening with the lower opening.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]This invention relates, in general, to a female urination apparatus and, in particular, to female urination apparatus to enable a female to urinate while standing.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Without limiting the scope of the present invention, its background will be described in relation to a human female urination apparatus, as an example.[0003]Oftentimes, it may be desirable for females to urinate in a position other than sitting on a seat of a toilet. It is known that many times toilet seats in public areas may be unsanitary and there may be no disposable seat covers available. Other times females may have discomfort due to post-surgical situations that involve vaginal stitches. Also, post-cosmetic surgery may require confining undergarments that are difficult to remove quickly prior to urinating in a seated position. In another example, there may be times during car travel when a female may find the need to urinate standing up when faci...
