Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a simple urinal that allows for easy disposal of urine in an on-site environment, such as after a house is demolished. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, simple urinals that allow easy disposal of urine in places where toilets are not installed have been used. Figure 7 shows an example of a conventional simple urinal. In the simple urinal 70 of Figure 7, urine received in a urine receiving portion 700 is accumulated in a tank 710 connected to the urine receiving portion 700.

[0003] Incidentally, prior art related to simple urinals includes the technologies disclosed in Patent Documents 1, 2, and 3. Patent Document 1 discloses a simple urinal that includes a front-opening urine receiving section that receives urine, a urination tank that holds urine discharged into the urine receiving section, and a screw-type urination pipe that is provided on the bottom surface of the urine receiving section and connects to the urination tank and reaches about half the height of the urination tank, and the urination pipe has a screw from the joint with the bottom surface of the urine receiving section to a lower end located inside the urination tank, and the mounting direction and mounting height of the urine receiving section relative to the urination tank can be adjusted by turning a handle provided on the upper part of the urine receiving section (claim 1).

[0004] Patent Document 2 discloses a simple toilet urinal that is characterized by comprising a urine receiving part having a front opening formed on the front and a urine drainage pipe that is inserted into a liquid inlet of a liquid tank that stores liquid, a fixing device through which the urine drainage pipe is inserted and that is provided between the urine receiving part and the liquid tank, and a lid that covers the front opening of the urine receiving part and is provided on the top of the urine receiving part so as to be freely rotatable up and down (Claim 1).

[0005] Furthermore, Patent Document 3 discloses a simple toilet piping system (1A, 1B) including a simple toilet (50), existing piping (5), and a connecting pipe section (10) that guides waste received in the simple toilet to the existing piping, in which the simple toilet has a main body frame (60) on which a toilet seat section (90) is disposed, and a leg frame (77) that is provided below the main body frame, and a waste discharge port (97) that opens downward is formed in the toilet seat section, and an upstream pipe end of the connecting pipe section is connected to the underside of the waste discharge port, and a downstream pipe end of the connecting pipe section is connected to the existing piping. The connecting pipe portion includes a flexible pipe portion (11a), the leg frame protrudes downward from the main body frame and has a length adjustment structure (80) that makes it possible to adjust the protruding length relative to the main body frame, and the height of the toilet seat from the floor surface can be adjusted by adjusting the protruding length of the leg frame, and the flexible pipe portion is freely expandable and contractable in the vertical direction and can also bend in the horizontal direction, so that it can expand and contract in accordance with the vertical movement of the waste discharge outlet when the height of the toilet seat from the floor surface is adjusted (Claim 1, Figures 1, 2, 4 to 6). [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0006] [Patent Document 1] Patent No. 6101882 specification [Patent Document 2] Patent No. 6268339 specification [Patent Document 3] Patent No. 6718310 specification Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0007] As described above, the conventional techniques are based on the premise of using a tank (a urination tank or a liquid tank) for accumulating urine (Patent Documents 1 and 2). Therefore, there is a problem with the treatment of urine after it has accumulated in the tank.

[0008] In addition, the prior art disclosed in Patent Document 3 discloses an embodiment in which the upstream pipe end of the connecting pipe part (10) is connected to the lower side of the waste discharge port (97) of the toilet seat part (90), and the downstream pipe end of the connecting pipe part is connected to the existing pipe (5). Therefore, it can be said that urine disposal is relatively simple, but in Patent Document 3, a leg frame (77) is provided below the main body frame (60) on which the toilet seat part (90) is disposed, so that the toilet takes the form of a chair (FIGS. 1 and 2). In other words, the stability of the portable toilet (50) is ensured by using a plurality of (four) leg frames (77). Therefore, Patent Document 3 does not consider a configuration using a urine receiving part such as the urine receiving part (2) of Patent Document 1 or the urine receiving part (13) of Patent Document 2 (i.e., a configuration in which the portable urinal is relatively vertically long), and there is room for improvement.

[0009] The present invention has been made in consideration of the above problems, and aims to provide a simple urinal that does not require carrying urine home from the site environment, simplifies urine disposal, and is highly portable and hygienic.Furthermore, it aims to provide a simple urinal that can be stably operated even when the overall structure of the simple urinal is relatively long vertically. [Means for solving the problem]

[0010] Therefore, the simple urinal according to one embodiment of the present invention is as follows: A urine receiving portion for receiving urine; a urination pipe portion connected to the urine receiving portion and guiding the urine received in the urine receiving portion to an external sewer outlet; a base part that is installed on the ground or the external sewer outlet and supports the urine receiving part and the urethra part; The present invention is characterized by having the following.

[0011] According to one embodiment of the present invention, urine received in the urine receiving part can be guided to the external sewer outlet via the urine drainage pipe part, and the urine can be directly discharged into the sewer outlet. Therefore, for example, after a house is demolished, it is not necessary to carry urine back from the site environment where the external sewer outlet is available, and urine can be easily disposed of. In addition, the base part supporting the urine receiving part and the urine drainage pipe part is stably installed on the ground or the external sewer outlet. Therefore, for example, even if the simple urinal has a relatively vertically long configuration, it is easy to stabilize the posture of the simple urinal.

[0012] The base may have a top surface to which the urination pipe is connected or inserted, a cylindrical side surface located below the top surface, and an edge extending laterally from the side surface. This allows the base to be installed so as to cover an external sewer outlet that protrudes above the ground. The urinal can be installed stably by using a fixing installation tool such as an anchor at the edge, or by burying the edge (and part or all of the side surface) in the ground and covering it with soil, or by placing a heavy object such as a stone on the edge.

[0013] The urethra section may include a first urethra connected to the urine receiving section, a second urethra arranged between the first urethra and the base and connected to a lower part of the first urethra and an upper part of the base, and a third urethra connected from a lower part of the base toward an upper part. The internal space of the urine receiving section may be large enough to accommodate the first urethra, the second urethra, the third urethra, and the base. This allows the first urethra, the second urethra, the third urethra, and the base to be stored hygienically and compactly, making it easy to carry.

[0014] In addition to the upper surface portion and the side surface portion, the base portion may have a first inner cylindrical portion extending downward from the upper surface portion on the inside of the side surface portion, a second inner cylindrical portion extending downward from the first inner cylindrical portion on the inside of the side surface portion and having a smaller diameter than the first inner cylindrical portion, and a connecting portion connecting the lower end of the first inner cylindrical portion and the upper end of the second inner cylindrical portion. This makes it possible for the simple urinal according to one embodiment of the present invention to be satisfactorily installed in a plurality of types of external sewer outlets having different diameters. Specifically, by making the outer diameter of the first inner cylindrical portion slightly smaller than the diameter of the external sewer outlet of type A, for example, the base portion can be stably installed with the first inner cylindrical portion inserted into the external sewer outlet of type A without any gaps (in this case, the upper end of the external sewer outlet of type A abuts against the back surface of the upper surface portion of the base portion). Furthermore, by making the outer diameter of the second inner cylindrical portion slightly smaller than the diameter of a type B external sewer outlet (smaller than the diameter of type A), for example, the base portion can be stably installed with the second inner cylindrical portion inserted tightly into the type B external sewer outlet (in this case, it is possible to abut the upper end of the type B external sewer outlet with the connecting portion).

[0015] The side surface may be formed with a piping opening that allows an external pipe (L-shaped or the like) to be connected to the urination pipe, thereby making it possible to temporarily redirect the urination path to the side and lead it to an external sewer outlet in a situation where the urination pipe cannot be connected perpendicularly to an external sewer outlet. Effect of the Invention

[0016] According to the simplified urinal of the embodiment of the present invention, it is possible to provide a simplified urinal that is easy to dispose of urine and has excellent portability while considering hygiene. Furthermore, even when the overall configuration is relatively long, it has the effect of being stable and operable. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0018] <Embodiment> Hereinafter, the details of a simple urinal according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the following description, expressions such as "upper side", "upper side", "lower side", "downward", and "front side" are used based on the directions and positional relationships in Fig. 1, which shows the state in which the simple urinal according to one embodiment of the present invention is in use (the same applies below). [Overall configuration] FIG. 1 is a front view showing a simple urinal 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention and its periphery. In FIG. 1, the base part 40 is installed so as to cover the upper part of the external sewer outlet 50 protruding from the ground 52 (this "installation" may mean simply placing it on the ground, or may mean fixed installation by placing a weight on it or driving a fixing device such as an anchor into the ground as described later. The same applies to the meaning of installation below). FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing a simple urinal 10 according to this embodiment and its periphery. In FIG. 2, the base part 40 is installed so as to cover the upper part of the external sewer outlet 50 (not shown in FIG. 2) protruding from the ground 52. FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a schematic disassembled state of the simple urinal 10 according to this embodiment. As shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 3, the simple urinal 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention has, broadly speaking, a urine receiving part 20, a urination pipe part 30, and a base part 40. The urine receiving part 20 is a structural part that receives urine. The urination pipe section 30 is connected to the urine receiving section 20 and guides urine received in the urine receiving section 20 to an external sewer outlet 50 (FIG. 1). The member indicated by reference numeral 500 in FIG. 2 is a cover for the external sewer outlet 50. Exemplarily, the base section 40 is installed on the ground 52 so as to cover the external sewer outlet 50 and supports the urine receiving section 20 and the urination pipe section 30.

[0019] [Urine receiving part 20] The urine receiving part 20 is a structural part for receiving urine, and has a main body part 200 and a connection part 210. In one embodiment, the main body part 200 is basically spherical, and an opening part 2000 is formed by cutting out the front side and the upper side. The inside of the main body part 200 forms a substantially spherical space having the opening part 2000. The connection part 210 is disposed below the main body part 200 and is connected to the urethra part 30.

[0020] [Ureary tube part 30] As described above, the urination pipe section 30 is connected to the urine receiving section 20 and guides urine received in the urine receiving section 20 to the external sewer outlet 50. As shown in Figs. 1 to 3, in one embodiment of the present invention, the urination pipe section 30 has a first urination pipe 300, a second urination pipe 310, and a third urination pipe 320. Fig. 4(A) is a diagram showing a schematic diagram of a connection state between the first urination pipe 300 and the second urination pipe 310 and the base section 40 in the simple urinal 10 according to this embodiment. Fig. 4(B) is a diagram showing a schematic diagram of a connection state between the third urination pipe 320 and the base section 40 in the simple urinal 10 according to this embodiment.

[0021] In one embodiment of the present invention, the first urinary drainage tube 300, the second urinary drainage tube 310, and the third urinary drainage tube 320 have the same shape and length, although this is not limited thereto. The first urinary drainage tube 300, the second urinary drainage tube 310, and the third urinary drainage tube 320 each have small diameter parts 330a-330c (FIG. 3) at one end. As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the upper side of the first urinary drainage tube 300 is connected to the urine receiving part 20, and the lower side of the first urinary drainage tube 300 is connected to the second urinary drainage tube 310. More specifically, the connecting part 210, which is the tip of the urine receiving part 20, is inserted into one end of the first urinary drainage tube 300 (the side where the small diameter part 330a is not formed), and one end of the second urinary drainage tube 310 (the side where the small diameter part 330b is not formed) is inserted (connected) into the small diameter part 330a of the first urinary drainage tube 300.

[0022] As shown in Fig. 1, Fig. 2 and Fig. 4(A), the second urethra 310 is disposed between the first urethra 300 and the base 40, and is connected to the base 40 toward the lower side in each figure. In other words, the upper side of the second urethra 310 is connected to the lower side of the first urethra 300 in each figure, and the lower side of the second urethra 310 in each figure is connected to a hole 402 provided in the upper surface part 400 of the base 40. More specifically, the small diameter part 330a of the first urethra 300 is inserted (connected) into one end part of the second urethra 310 (the side where the small diameter part 330b is not formed), and the small diameter part 330b of the second urethra 310 is inserted into the hole 402 (Fig. 3) formed in the upper surface part 400 of the base 40. In one embodiment of the present invention, this causes a part of the small diameter portion 330b of the second urethra 310 to protrude below the upper surface portion 400.

[0023] As shown in Fig. 1, the third urethra 320 is connected to the base 40 from the lower side toward the upper side. In other words, the upper side of the third urethra 320 is connected to the second urethra 310 through a hole 402 (Fig. 3) in the upper surface part 400 of the base 40, and the lower side of the third urethra 320 is not connected anywhere (it is a free end). In one embodiment of the present invention, the small diameter part 330b of the second urethra 310 is inserted (connected) to one end of the third urethra 320 (the side where the small diameter part 330c shown in Fig. 4(b) is not formed).

[0024] The connecting structure of each part is not limited to the above, and other connecting structures may be used. For example, a screw structure or a crimping structure may be used. Also, a structure in which the second urinary drainage pipe 310 and the third urinary drainage pipe 320 are not directly connected via the hole 402 in the upper surface part 400 as described above (for example, a structure in which the second urinary drainage pipe 310 and the third urinary drainage pipe 320 are screwed and connected to the upper surface part 400 of the base part 40 using a screw structure, or a structure in which the hole 402 itself has a cylindrical structure and the second urinary drainage pipe 310 and the third urinary drainage pipe 320 are connected to the hole 402 of the cylindrical structure) may be used.

[0025] [Base 40] As described above, the base 40 is placed on the ground 52 to support the urine receiving part 20 and the urethra part 30. As shown in Figs. 1 to 4(B), the base 40 has an upper surface 400, a side surface 410, and an edge 420. The upper surface 400 is a part to which the urethra part 30 is connected or inserted, and has a circular shape with a diameter larger than that of the external sewer outlet 50. The side surface 410 is cylindrical (here, a truncated cone-shaped cylinder) and extends downward from the outer edge of the upper surface 400 (see Fig. 1, etc.). In one embodiment, the side surface 410 may have a piping opening 430 at the position shown by the dashed line in Figs. 1, 2, and 4(A). The piping opening 430 allows an external piping such as an L-shaped one (not shown) to be connected to the urethra part 30, particularly the third urethra 320. By using such an L-shaped or other external piping and setting it up so that urine is directed through this external piping to the external sewer outlet 50, the simple urinal of one embodiment of the present invention can be operated even in cases where the base 40 cannot be installed to cover the external sewer outlet 50.

[0026] The edge portion 420 is disposed laterally from the lower end of the side portion 410 (it may extend laterally from a portion other than the lower end of the side portion 410). In one embodiment, the edge portion 420 has a horizontal annular portion 4200, a vertical annular portion 4210, and a folded annular portion 4220. The horizontal annular portion 4200 extends horizontally from the lower end of the side portion 410. As shown in Figs. 2, 3, and 4(B), the horizontal annular portion 4200 has a plurality of holes 4202 formed therein for inserting a fixing fixture (not shown). For example, an anchor such as a peg used for a tent can be used as the fixing fixture.

[0027] The vertical annular portion 4210 extends upward (in one embodiment, diagonally outward and upward) from the outer edge of the horizontal annular portion 4200. The folded annular portion 4220 extends laterally or laterally and downward from the outer edge of the vertical annular portion 4210 to form a folded portion. This increases the strength of the edge portion 420. As is clear from Figures 1 and 2, a groove is formed by the underside of the side portion 410 and the edge portion 420. Soil, gravel, or the like may be placed in this groove to provide a weight. In this case, the base portion installed on the ground or the external sewer outlet becomes even more stable.

[0028] [Stored state] FIG. 5 is a perspective view showing a schematic state of the simple urinal 10 according to this embodiment when it is carried. As described above, in this embodiment, each part can be disassembled (FIG. 3). In addition, the urine receiving part 20 (main body part 200) has an opening 2000 and an internal space large enough to accommodate the first urinary drainage pipe 300, the second urinary drainage pipe 310, the third urinary drainage pipe 320, and the base part 40. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 5, the simple urinal 10 can be carried in a state in which the first urinary drainage pipe 300, the second urinary drainage pipe 310, the third urinary drainage pipe 320, and the base part 40 are respectively accommodated inside the urine receiving part 20 (main body part 200) through the opening 2000. The term "storable" as used herein means that the first urethra 300, the second urethra 310, the third urethra 320 and the base 40 can be accommodated within a hypothetical spherical region when a hypothetical shape (such as a sphere) is assumed when the main body 200 is not provided with the opening 2000. Note that this definition is not strict, and even if a part of a member protrudes from the hypothetical spherical region, it can be said to be storable as long as the protruding member does not fall out of the main body 200 and does not interfere with normal transportation.

[0029] [Effects of one embodiment] According to one embodiment of the present invention as described above, urine received in the urine receiving part 20 can be guided to the external sewer outlet 50 via the urine drainage pipe part 30, and the urine can be directly discharged to the sewer outlet (FIG. 1, etc.). Therefore, it is possible to easily treat urine in an on-site environment, for example, in a vacant lot after a house is demolished and the external sewer outlet 50 can be used. In addition, the base part 40 supporting the urine receiving part 20 and the urine drainage pipe part 30 can be fixedly installed on the ground 52 by using a fixing installation tool such as an anchor or by placing a weight such as a stone on the edge part. Therefore, for example, even when the simple urinal 10 has a relatively vertically long overall structure, the posture of the simple urinal 10 can be easily stabilized.

[0030] In this embodiment, the base 40 has an upper surface 400 to which the urination pipe 30 is connected or inserted, a cylindrical side surface 410 located below the upper surface 400, and an edge 420 extending laterally from the side surface 410 (FIGS. 1 and 2). This makes it possible to install the base 40 so as to cover the upper part of the external sewer outlet 50 when the external sewer outlet 50 protrudes above the ground 52 (FIG. 1). In addition, the simple urinal 10 can be stably installed by using a fixing fixture for the edge 420, or by burying the edge 420 (and part or all of the side surface 410) in the ground 52 and covering it with soil, or by placing a heavy object such as a stone on the edge 420.

[0031] In this embodiment, the urethra section 30 includes a first urethra 300 connected to the urine receiving section 20, a second urethra 310 disposed between the first urethra 300 and the base section 40 and connected to the base section 40 downward, and a third urethra 320 connected to the base section 40 upward (see FIG. 1 for an explanation including the orientation of the upper and lower sides. Also, see FIG. 4(A) and FIG. 4(B)). The first urethra 300, the second urethra 310, the third urethra 320, and the base section 40 are sized to be stored in the internal space of the urine receiving section 20 (FIG. 5). This prevents the individual components from scattering, and allows for hygienic, compact storage and portability.

[0032] A piping opening 430 can be formed in the side surface 410 of the base 40 to connect an L-shaped or other external piping instead of the urination pipe 30 (particularly the third urination pipe 320) (FIGS. 1, 2, and 4(A)). As a result, even in a situation where the urination pipe 30 cannot be connected vertically to the external sewer outlet 50, for example, the urination path can be temporarily directed to the side using an L-shaped or other external piping (not shown), so that the urination can be safely guided to the external sewer outlet 50.

[0033] [Variations] In the above embodiment, the urination pipe section 30 has three urination pipes (the first urination pipe 300, the second urination pipe 310, and the third urination pipe 320) (FIG. 1, etc.). However, the present invention is not limited to this, as long as the urine received in the urine receiving section 20 is guided to the external sewer outlet 50. For example, the first urination pipe 300 and the second urination pipe 310 may be configured as one upper urination pipe, and the urination pipe section 30 may be configured by a total of two urination pipes together with the third urination pipe 320 (lower urination pipe). Alternatively, one or more other urination pipes may be provided between the first urination pipe 300 and the second urination pipe 310 on the upper side of the base section 40. Alternatively, the first urethra 300, the second urethra 310 and the third urethra 320 may be configured as a single urethra, and the urethra section 30 may be configured by inserting this single urethra into a hole (not shown) in the upper surface section 400 of the base section 40. Furthermore, when the urination tube portion 30 is disassembled, it can be divided into any number of parts, so long as the length when assembled is within a range appropriate for use.

[0034] In the above embodiment, the side surface portion 410 of the base portion 40 is a cylindrical shape having a truncated cone shape (FIG. 2, etc.). In other words, the top surface portion 400 and the side surface portion 410 are configured to form a bottomed truncated cone shape. However, the side surface portion 410 of the base portion 40 may be another cylindrical shape (cylindrical, rectangular, or pyramidal).

[0035] In the above embodiment, the configuration of the base part 40 is as shown in Fig. 1 etc. However, as long as the base part 40 is installed on the ground 52 or the external sewer outlet 60 to support the urine receiving part 20 and the urethra part 30, the configuration is not limited thereto.

[0036] FIG. 6A is a front cross-sectional view showing a simplified structure of the base 40a of the simplified urinal 10A according to the modified example of the present invention. As with the base 40 of the above embodiment (FIG. 1, etc.), the base 40a has an upper surface 400, a side surface 410, and an edge 420 (in FIG. 6A, the folded annular portion 4220 is omitted for convenience of explanation). The base 40a also has a first inner cylindrical portion 440, a second inner cylindrical portion 450, and a connecting portion 460. In FIG. 6A, the height of the side surface 410 (or the base 40a itself) is H2, and the height of the vertical annular portion 4210 of the edge 420 is H1. The diameter (outer diameter) of the lower end of the side surface 410 is w1, and the diameter (outer diameter) of the outer edge of the horizontal annular portion 4200 of the edge 420 is w2. In one embodiment of the present invention, H1 is about 1 to 12 cm, H2 is about 8 to 24 cm, w1 is about 15 to 35 cm, and w2 is about 18 to 43 cm (however, w2 is larger than w1).

[0037] The first inner cylindrical portion 440 extends downward from the upper surface portion 400 on the inside of the cylindrical side surface portion 410. The upper end of the second inner cylindrical portion 450 is connected to the lower end of the first inner cylindrical portion 440 via the connecting portion 460. Therefore, the second inner cylindrical portion 450 extends downward from the first inner cylindrical portion 440 on the inside of the cylindrical side surface portion 410. The second inner cylindrical portion 450 has a smaller diameter than the first inner cylindrical portion 440. The connecting portion 460 is an annular portion that connects the lower end of the first inner cylindrical portion 440 and the upper end of the second inner cylindrical portion 450.

[0038] In Fig. 6A, the diameter (outer diameter) of the third urethra 320 is φ1, the diameter (outer diameter) of the first inner cylindrical portion 440 is φ2, and the diameter (outer diameter) of the second inner cylindrical portion 450 is φ3. The height of the first inner cylindrical portion 440 is D1, and the height of the second inner cylindrical portion 450 is D2. As shown in Fig. 6A, the diameter φ2 of the first inner cylindrical portion 440 and the diameter φ3 of the second inner cylindrical portion 450 are both larger than the diameter φ1 of the third urethra 320. In one embodiment of the present invention, φ1 is about 2 to 8 cm, and φ2 and φ3 are selected from, for example, 5.0 cm, 6.5 cm, 7.5 cm, 10 cm, 12.5 cm, 15 cm, and 20 cm so that φ2>φ3 (however, φ2<w1である。)。また、φ2> Other diameter combinations may be used as long as they are φ3. Furthermore, D1 is about 2 to 18 cm, and D2 is about 2 to 18 cm.

[0039] In addition, in one embodiment of the present invention, the diameter φ2 of the first inner cylindrical portion 440 and the diameter φ3 of the second inner cylindrical portion 450 are configured to be slightly smaller than the external sewer outlet 50 (the pipe constituting the external sewer outlet 50) having different diameters. That is, the diameter φ2 of the first inner cylindrical portion 440 is set to be slightly smaller than the diameter of the external sewer outlet 50 (type A) having a larger diameter (inner diameter). Therefore, the first inner cylindrical portion 440 can enter the external sewer outlet 50 of type A with a small gap. As a result, the upper end of the external sewer outlet 50 of type A can abut against the lower surface of the upper surface portion 400 (it does not have to abut against it). Then, in this state, the base portion 40a can be stably installed.

[0040] Furthermore, the diameter φ3 of the second inner cylindrical portion 450 is set to be slightly smaller than the diameter (inner diameter) of the external sewer outlet 50 (type B). Therefore, the second inner cylindrical portion 450 can enter the external sewer outlet 50 of type B with a small gap. As a result, the upper end of the external sewer outlet 50 of type B can abut against the lower surface of the connecting portion 460 (it does not have to abut). Then, in this state, the base portion 40a can be stably installed.

[0041] 6B is a front cross-sectional view showing a simplified structure of a base part 40b of a simplified urinal 10B according to a modified example of the present invention. Similar to the base part 40 of the above embodiment (FIG. 1, etc.), the base part 40b has an upper surface part 400, a side surface part 410, and an edge part 420. The difference with the base portion 40a is that the connecting portion 460 is omitted, and the first inner cylindrical portion 440 and the second inner cylindrical portion 450 each extend downward from the upper surface portion 400. Also, here, as an example of a variation, the vertical annular portion 4210 is explicitly omitted (similar to the base portion 40a, the vertical annular portion 4210 may be provided, and the folded annular portion 4220 may be further provided).

[0042] The design numerical ranges of w1, w2, H2, φ1, φ2, and φ3 are the same as those of the base portion 40a. Meanwhile, D3 (the length of the first inner cylindrical portion 440 and the second inner cylindrical portion 450) in Fig. 6B can be designed in the range of several centimeters to about 30-odd centimeters. In addition, although the first inner cylindrical portion 440 and the second inner cylindrical portion 450 are made the same length in the figure, this is not limited thereto.

[0043] 6B, the third urinary drain 320 may be omitted as shown by the dashed line. In this case, the first inner cylindrical portion 440 or the second inner cylindrical portion 450 can be inserted into the external sewer outlet 50 with a small gap, thereby maintaining a secure installation state.

[0044] In the above embodiment, the main body 200 is based on a spherical shape, and the inside of the main body 200 is configured to form a substantially spherical space having an opening 2000. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the shape of the main body 200 can be various shapes such as a substantially spheroid, a substantially cylindrical shape, a substantially prism shape, a substantially cubic shape, a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape, etc. The design concept of the main body in this case is to assume a virtual three-dimensional shape when no opening is provided in the main body, and to provide a shape that ensures a space in the virtual three-dimensional shape in which the first urethra 300, the second urethra 310, the third urethra 320, and the base 40 can be accommodated. As long as the shape can ensure such a space, various shapes of the main body can be adopted.

[0045] In the above embodiment, the edge portion 420 of the base portion 40 has the horizontal annular portion 4200, the vertical annular portion 4210, and the folded annular portion 4220 (FIG. 1, etc.). However, for example, if attention is focused on stably installing the base portion 40, this is not limited to this. For example, it is possible to combine the vertical annular portion 4210 and the folded annular portion 4220, or to omit the folded annular portion 4220. The same is true for the base portion 40a of the above modified example (FIGS. 6A and 6B).

[0046] In the above embodiment, the edge 420 of the base 40 was annular (particularly circular) (FIG. 2, etc.). However, for example, if the focus is on stably installing the base 40, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, a configuration in which the edge 420 protrudes only at positions corresponding to the positions where the multiple holes 4202 for inserting the fixing fixtures (not shown) are formed is also possible. The same is true for the base 40a of the above modified example (FIGS. 6A and 6B).

[0047] In the above embodiment, the base 40 is installed on the ground 52 (FIG. 1, etc.). However, for example, the present invention is not limited to this, as long as the base 40, 40a is stably installed. For example, the base can be attached to the external sewer outlet 50. As an example of attaching the base to the external sewer outlet 50, a plurality of screw holes (not shown) can be provided in the side portion 410, and a plurality of screws can be abutted from the outside of the side portion 410 toward the external sewer outlet 50 through the screw holes to fix the base. Similar variations can be applied to the base 40a of the above modified example (FIGS. 6A and 6B).
