Description

Technical area

[0001] The present invention relates to a device for urinating according to the preamble of claim 1. State of the art

[0002] Currently, the only known toilets are those designed for sitting or standing, or urinals. Installing a urinal in a standard bathroom is virtually impossible from a structural point of view. Devices for urinating while standing (also known as urination aids for women) are also known. These devices feature a funnel-shaped and / or tubular line for draining urine, with an intake and an outlet opening. For example, DE 20 2014 000 528 U1 discloses a splash guard for men urinating while standing in a toilet. This splash guard is characterized by being made of a largely waterproof paper tube.The disadvantage of the devices mentioned is that, as already mentioned at the beginning, they are technically complex to install and known funnel- or tube-shaped devices are cumbersome to use and unhygienic to handle, especially since there is no guarantee that the urine passed through the device will completely end up in the toilet.

[0003] DE 20 2012 011 917 U1, JP 2015 186560 A, and DE 10 120896 A1 each disclose devices for urination. These devices consist of a tubular line for draining urine, having an intake and a discharge opening. At least one tubular or hose-shaped discharge line is arranged at the discharge opening, which is fluid-tightly connected to the line and has a smaller diameter than the line. The line is formed from several elongated pipe sections and an arcuate pipe section, which is rotatably mounted on another elongated pipe section to enable a rotatable or tiltable adjustment of the second elongated pipe section.

[0004] US 4 683 598 A discloses a device for urinating, in which a wall bracket for mounting the device on a wall is arranged or accommodated on the elongated pipe part.

[0005] The document US 2014 0 033 414 A1 also shows a device for urinating, which comprises a lid-like pipe closure which can be reversibly arranged on the second elongated pipe part, wherein the pipe closure comprises a holding means by means of which the pipe closure can be reversibly arranged on the line. Description of the invention

[0006] The present invention is based on the object of eliminating the aforementioned disadvantages and of creating a device which is simple and hygienic in its handling and which can be retrofitted to existing toilets with little space and little effort.

[0007] According to the invention, the above object is achieved according to the preamble of claim 1 in conjunction with the characterizing features. Advantageous embodiments and further developments of the device according to the invention are specified in the dependent subclaims. Brief description of the drawings

[0008] Further objects, features, advantages and possible applications of the device according to the invention will become apparent from the following description of an embodiment with reference to the drawings.

[0009] The drawings show Fig. 1 the device according to the invention in an advantageous embodiment in side view; Fig. 2 the device according to the invention as in Fig. 1 in side view on a toilet; Fig. 3 the device according to the invention as in Fig. 1 in an exploded view. Implementation of the invention

[0010] As from Fig. 1, the device 1 according to the invention comprises a tubular line 10 for the drainage of urine with a receiving opening 100 and a drain opening 101.

[0011] At the discharge opening 101, in or within the line 10, there is arranged at least one tubular or hose-shaped discharge line 11 which is fluid-tightly connected to the line 10, wherein the discharge line 11 has a smaller diameter than the line 10 and the line 10 is formed from at least two elongated pipe parts 102, 103 and at least one first curved pipe part 104, wherein the first curved pipe part 104 is rotatably received on at least one first elongated pipe part 102 in order to enable a rotatable or tiltable adjustment of the second elongated pipe part 103. This arrangement of the pipe parts 102-104 allows the device 1 to be rotated or tilted in one direction, as is shown by way of example in Fig. 2 is outlined.

[0012] In a particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention, the pipe parts 102-104 are designed as HT pipes. The design of the pipe parts 102-105 as HT pipes allows the device 1 to be assembled using readily available and easy-to-assemble means.

[0013] The line 10 further comprises at least one second curved pipe part 105 (preferably also designed as an HT pipe), wherein the second curved pipe part 105 is rotatably received on the first curved pipe part 104 in order to enable further rotatable or inclinable adjustment of the second elongated pipe part 103.

[0014] According to the invention, the drain line 11 is arranged in a fluid-tight manner directly on the first curved pipe section 104. Particularly advantageously, at least one sealing element 107 is arranged or formed in or on the corresponding pipe section 102-105 in the region of or at the drain opening 101, which ensures that the urine flowing in the direction of the drain line 11 flows exclusively into the drain line 11 and not further (e.g., below the drain opening 101) along the line 10.

[0015] At least one wall bracket 1030 (e.g., a clamp) for mounting the device 1 on a wall can be arranged or accommodated on the first elongated tube part 102. The wall bracket 1030 is preferably attached to the wall with screws and dowels.

[0016] In a particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention, at least one holding member 110 for reversibly mounting the drain 1 within a toilet 2 is arranged or accommodated on the drain 11. The holding member 110 is preferably formed from a suction cup.

[0017] The discharge line 11 is preferably tubular.

[0018] Furthermore, at least one holding part 111 (e.g. a stainless steel sheet) which is more dimensionally stable than the discharge line 11 can be arranged or formed on the discharge line 11, wherein the holding part 111 is kinked or bent at least in some areas, wherein the discharge line 11 is guided around the kink or bend 1110 in order to thereby realize a siphon and / or odor trap.

[0019] The device 1 according to the invention preferably comprises a lid-like tube closure 12 (cover) that can be reversibly arranged on the second elongated tube part 103. The tube closure 12 advantageously has at least one holding means 120, by means of which the tube closure 12 can be reversibly arranged on the line 10. The holding means 120 or a receiving means 106 that magnetically corresponds to the holding means 120 and is arranged on the line 10 is, for example, magnetic. The tube closure 12 is then simply attached to a magnet, for example, during urination. After urination, the tube closure 12 is placed back on the second elongated tube part 103. The second elongated tube part 103 is thus hygienically closed again.

[0020] A lower closure 13 is preferably provided or inserted on the underside of the first elongated tube part 102. Advantages and further details

[0021] The advantage of the device 1 according to the invention is that the movable second elongated pipe part 103 can be moved in all directions and the urine can be drained through the drain 11, preferably in the form of a hose, into a toilet 2.

[0022] Any odor nuisance from the sewer system is eliminated because there is always liquid in the lower part of drain 11. This acts as a barrier against odors.

[0023] When urinating, the second elongated pipe section 103 is pulled forward or to the side, for example, and then moved into the correct position. Subsequently, the lid-like pipe closure 12 is pulled out and preferably placed on the receiving means 106. The second elongated pipe section 103 does not need to be held by hand; it stays in place by itself. After urinating, the pipe 10 is rinsed, for example, with a cleaning fluid or cleaned by spraying. The cleaning fluid works with enzymes and is microbiological and thus harmless to the environment. Finally, the pipe closure 12 is replaced, and the second elongated pipe section 103 is pushed back into its original position. By installing it in the toilet, blockage is impossible.

[0024] Especially in old age, when some men experience enlarged prostates, it's better to urinate while standing. Sitting creates a barrier, preventing the bladder from emptying completely. This can lead to serious health problems and even kidney damage.

[0025] The present invention enables urination while standing, which is particularly beneficial for men with prostate problems. The device saves a significant amount of wastewater, as the present invention uses almost no flushing water, thus ensuring more environmentally friendly urination.

[0026] This invention also offers the added advantage of eliminating the need to sit on the cold toilet seat while urinating. This invention also makes everyday life easier for pregnant women and elderly people with limited mobility.
