Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a urine bag cover for covering a urine bag. [Background technology]

[0002] Urine bags (also called catheterization bags) used in nursing homes, hospitals, etc. are made of transparent materials so that the amount and color of collected urine can be seen from the outside. For this reason, users who use urine bags sometimes feel awkward because they are concerned about the eyes of visitors, other patients, etc.

[0003] To solve this problem, a urine bag cover that covers a urine bag has been proposed. For example, Patent Document 1 proposes a urine bag cover that has a transparent part on the front part that allows the urine volume in the urine bag to be visually confirmed, a cover that hides this transparent part, and an opening at the bottom end through which the urine drainage tube of the urine bag can be removed.

[Diagram 3] FIG. 2 is a diagram showing the urine bag covered with the urine bag cover. [Figure 4] 13 is a diagram showing the state in which the opening on the front part of the urine bag cover is open. FIG. [Diagram 5] 13 is a diagram showing the state in which the urethra of the urine bag has been removed from the opening in the front part of the urine bag cover. FIG. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0010] Hereinafter, a urine bag cover according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the urine bag cover according to the present invention can be embodied in various forms and is not limited to the embodiments described in this specification. This embodiment is provided with the intention of enabling those skilled in the art to fully understand the invention by fully disclosing the specification.

[0011] Figure 1 shows a perspective view of a urine bag cover 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention. The urine bag cover 1 has a bag opening 2 at the top end for inserting a urine bag, an opening 4 at the front part 3 that allows the amount of urine in the urine bag to be visually confirmed by opening it, the urethra of the urine bag can be removed from the opening 4, and the bottom part 5 can collect urine that leaks from the urine bag.

[0012] FIG. 2 shows a front view of the urine bag 11. The urine bag 11 is made of a transparent material. When viewed from the front, the urine bag 11 has a generally rectangular shape overall, with a hole 12 at the center of the upper end for hanging it on something. The urine bag 11 is used by hanging it by hanging it on something through the hole 12. A urine collection tube 13 is attached to the right side of the upper end of the urine bag 11 for guiding the user's urine to the urine bag 11. A urination tube 14 is attached to the lower end of the urine bag 11 for discharging urine from the urine bag 11 to the outside.

[0013] As shown in Fig. 1, the urine bag cover 1 of this embodiment is designed to cover the urine bag 11. The urine bag cover 1 is made of a soft material, for example, a synthetic resin sheet such as polyvinyl chloride film or polyethylene film. The urine bag cover 1 may be made of a sheet of deodorizing fabric. The urine bag cover 1 is translucent or opaque so that the urine bag 11 can be hidden.

[0014] The opening 4 in the front part 3 of the urine bag cover 1 extends horizontally. The upper edge 4a of the opening 4 covers the lower edge 4b. The lower edge 4b ​​of the opening 4 may also cover the upper edge 4a.

[0015] The urine bag cover 1 comprises a first sheet 7 constituting the upper portion of the front surface portion 3 above the opening 4, and a second sheet 8 constituting the lower portion of the front surface portion 3 below the opening 4 and the back surface portion 6.

[0016] Both ends in the width direction of the first sheet 7 and both ends in the width direction of the second sheet 8 are joined by heat fusion, adhesion, etc. (see the shaded area). Similarly, both ends in the width direction of the portion of the second sheet 8 below the opening 4 and both ends in the width direction of the back portion 6 of the second sheet 8 are joined by heat fusion, adhesion, etc. (see the shaded area). The second sheet 8 is folded at the lower end, so that the portion of the second sheet 8 below the opening 4 is continuous with the back portion 6. In FIG. 1, the first sheet 7 and the second sheet 8 are shown in a state before being joined together in order to easily show them. A gusset may be provided between the front portion 3 and the back portion 6.

[0017] A pair of strips 9 are attached to the upper end of the urine bag cover 1. The base ends of the strips 9 are joined to the upper part of the back part 6 by heat fusion, adhesion, etc. The tip ends of the strips 9 are detachably attached to the upper part of the front part 3. For example, a hook-and-loop fastener 9a is attached to the tip ends of the strips 9. A hook-and-loop fastener that cooperates with the hook-and-loop fastener 9a of the strips 9 is also attached to the upper part of the front part 3. The base ends of the strips 9 may be joined to the upper part of the front part 3, and the tip ends of the strips 9 may be detachably attached to the upper part of the back part 6. Also, only one strip 9 may be used.

[0018] Figure 3 shows the urine bag 11 covered with the urine bag cover 1. In Figure 3, the urine bag 11 is indicated by a dashed line. The tip of the strip 9 is removed from the front part 3, and the urine bag 11 is placed into the bag opening 2 at the upper end of the urine bag cover 1. Then, when the tip of the strip 9 is attached to the front part 3, the urine bag cover 1 becomes hooked onto the urine bag 11. Because the urine bag 11 is covered with the urine bag cover 1, the urine bag 11 cannot be seen from the outside.

[0019] 4 shows the state where the opening 4 in the front part 3 of the urine bag cover 1 is opened vertically. When the opening 4 is opened vertically, the amount of urine and the scale of the urine bag 11 can be visually confirmed.

[0020] FIG. 5 shows the state where the urethra 14 of the urine bag 11 has been removed from the opening 4. By opening the opening 4 and removing the urethra 14, urine can be discharged from the urine bag 11. The bottom 5 of the urine bag cover 1 does not have an opening for removing the urethra 14. This prevents urine from falling onto the floor. When urine accumulates in the bottom 5 of the urine bag cover 1 and becomes unsanitary, the urine bag cover 1 is replaced.

[0021] The effects of the urine bag cover of this embodiment will be described below.

[0022] According to the urine bag cover 1 of this embodiment, the urine bag 11 can be quickly inserted and removed from the bag opening 2, and the amount of urine can be quickly checked and urine can be removed from the opening 4 of the front part 3. The urine bag cover 1 is disposable, inexpensive, and hygienic.

[0023] Since the upper edge 4a of the opening 4 of the front surface portion 3 covers the lower edge 4b, the urine bag 11 can be reliably prevented from being seen from the outside.

[0024] Since the urine bag cover 1 has the strip 9, the urine bag cover 1 can be easily hung on the urine bag 11.

[0025] The urine bag cover 1 includes a first sheet 7 constituting the upper portion of the front surface portion 3 above the opening 4, and a second sheet 8 constituting the lower portion of the front surface portion 3 below the opening 4 and the back surface portion 6, so that the urine bag cover 1 can be easily manufactured.
