Description

[Technical field]

[0001] This invention relates to a convenient, disposable vomit and urination disposal bag that is useful for emergency vomiting and urination. [Background technology]

[0002] A variety of disposable vomit disposal bags and urine disposal bags have been proposed, some of which have been commercialized under names such as portable etiquette bags. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Utility model registration No. 3240264 [Patent Document 2] Utility Model Application Publication No. 5-35678 [Patent Document 3] Utility model registration No. 3151951 [Patent Document 4] Utility model registration No. 3024465 [Patent Document 5] Patent No. 4577673 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] The device described in Patent Document 1 is a portable toilet bag in which a deodorizing water-absorbent sheet is stored inside a bag equipped with a zipper, and when in use, the deodorizing water-absorbent sheet is pulled out of the portable toilet bag and the opening of the bag is placed over the male genitalia. Furthermore, the proposals in Patent Documents 2, 3 and 4 all relate to emesis bags, which have a gripping portion, a mouth portion and a fold at the top of the bag, so that when vomiting, the gripping portion, mouth portion and fold can be spread apart using the hand or fingers. Furthermore, Patent Document 5 proposes a portable toilet in which the opening of the bag is provided with a reinforcing receiving hole and a cylindrical finger insertion section for inserting fingers, proposed to prevent the bag from twisting when used to urinate and to allow the bag to open sufficiently. [Means for solving the problem]

[0005] This device was developed after much research into the many disposable vomit and urine disposal bags that have been proposed and commercialized. In the case of an emergency, it is difficult to quickly open the opening of the bag and place it over the mouth. Furthermore, when considering urination, there are differences between the way men and women urinate, but no consideration has been given to this point. In addition, if the posture is unstable when using the bag, urine will leak out of the bag and soil clothes and the floor. This is what we came up with after learning that there are many areas that need improvement. Therefore, the combined vomit and urine disposal bag of the present invention is a disposable bag with a set of different large and small receiving pieces attached to the upper part of a non-water-permeable bag body with a zipper, and the central part of the larger receiving piece forms a flat portion, while the central part of the smaller receiving piece is shaped so that a recessed portion is formed. Effect of the Invention

[0006] According to this device, a set of large and small receiving pieces is provided on the bag, so that when vomiting occurs, the large and small receiving pieces can be separated to open the opening of the bag wide, and the user can insert their nose and mouth into the wide-open opening, preventing vomit from spilling and making it easy to use. On the other hand, when urinating, just as when vomiting, the large and small receiving pieces are separated from each other, the opening of the bag is widened sufficiently, and the small receiving piece is directed above the genitals and the large piece below the genitals, so that the entire genitals are enclosed; the small piece positioned above the genitals makes contact with the skin without any gaps, and the large piece positioned below the genitals prevents urine from spilling out even if the posture is slightly unstable. This shape is particularly preferable when used by women, as the small and large receiving pieces can be brought into contact with the human body without feeling unnatural. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0007] [Figure 1] FIG. 2 is an overall view of the vomit and urination disposal bag of the present invention when not in use. [Diagram 2] FIG. 13 is a diagram showing the pair of support pieces in an expanded state. [Diagram 3] FIG. 13 is an explanatory diagram of the use of vomiting. [Figure 4] FIG. 13 is an explanatory diagram of use during urination. [Diagram 5] FIG. 1 is an explanatory diagram of a state in which the contents are placed in a vomit and urination disposal bag and the bag is placed upright. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0008] As shown in Figure 1, the vomit and urination disposal bag A of the present invention has a zipper 2 on the opening 11 side of the bag body 1. The bag body 1 is made of a water-impermeable material, for example, a strong material with the inner surface covered with polyethylene and the outer surface covered with nonwoven fabric. FIG. 1 shows the state of the vomit and urination disposal bag A at the time of sale, in which the bag body 1 is sold as a set with a coagulant sachet 5 containing a coagulant to which a deodorant, disinfectant, and antibacterial agent have been added, and a garbage disposal bag (not shown) for storing and disposing of the bag body 1 after use. The bag body 1 may be opaque, translucent or transparent. If it is made translucent or transparent, the amount of contents contained therein can be visually confirmed when vomiting or urination occurs, thereby preventing overflow. Furthermore, semi-transparent or transparent containers are also desirable from the perspective of health management, as they make it possible to check whether vomited matter or urine is contaminated with blood or other substances. The zipper 2 forms a pair of opposing uneven strips 21, 22 on the inner surface on the opening 11 side of the bag 1. Also, since a gusset portion 12 is provided at the bottom of the bag 1, not only can the bag 1 be stably held upright as shown in Fig. 5 even when the contents are contained in the bag 1, but also a sufficient amount of excrement 6 such as vomit or urine can be solidified and contained in the bag 1.

[0009] Just above the zipper 2 on the bag 1, a set of large and small receiving pieces 3, 4 are provided corresponding to each of the pair of concave-convex strips 21, 22 that make up the zipper 2. By moving the set of receiving pieces 3, 4 provided above the zipper 2 away from each other, the pair of concave-convex strips 21, 22 of the zipper 2 can be disengaged to open the opening 11, while the pair of concave-convex strips 21, 22 of the zipper 2 can be pressed from outside the bag 1 to engage them, closing the opening 11. However, in the present device, the pair of concave-convex strips 21, 22 of the zipper 2 act as a core material to hold the receiving pieces 3, 4 in the open position. With this structure, the pair of large and small receiving pieces 3, 4 can be separated to release the engagement of the pair of ridges 21, 22 of zipper 2, and then force can be applied to zipper 2 from both sides of bag body 1, as shown in Figure 2, and the pair of ridges 21, 22 of zipper 2 will act as a core material to further separate the pair of separated receiving pieces 3, 4, preventing opening 11 from closing inadvertently when in use.

[0010] The set of large and small receiving pieces 3, 4 may be relatively thick pieces of paper, but it is preferable that they are flexible and can be used without causing discomfort or irritation when they come into contact with the human body. In the illustrated embodiment, a polystyrene foam sheet is used in consideration of flexibility, but environmentally friendly biodegradable plastics are preferable. Of the pair of large and small receiving pieces 3, 4, the large receiving piece 3 is formed in a flattened U-shape, drawing a sharply rising curve from both edges of the zipper 2 toward the central top 31, forming a flat portion 32 at top 31, while the other, small receiving piece 4 rises in a gentle curve from both edges of the zipper toward the central top 41, forming a gentle recessed portion 42 at top 41. Therefore, it is formed into an even flatter U-shape than the large receiving piece 3. The small receiving piece 4 has a gently recessed cutout 42 at the top 41, so that it can come into close contact with the human body without leaving any gaps.

[0011] According to the present invention, by providing the bag body 1 with a set of large and small receiving pieces 3, 4, when vomiting, as shown in Figure 3, the large receiving piece 3 is placed downward and the small receiving piece 4 is placed upward, holding the opening 11 in a wide open position, and the person can insert their nose and mouth into the opening 11, preventing vomit from spilling out and making it easy to use. On the other hand, when urinating, in the same way as when vomiting, the bag is used with the opening 11 of the bag body 1 fully opened, with the large receiving piece 3 facing downward and the small receiving piece 4 facing upward, as shown in FIG. The small receiving piece 4 is positioned above the genitals and the large receiving piece 3 is positioned below the genitals so that the device can be used to enclose the genitals, thereby preventing urine from spilling out during urination. This is beneficial in the case of an emergency, such as when one needs to urinate while sitting in a car, because it prevents urine from spilling out even if the body position is slightly disturbed by vibrations. Similarly, for women, like men, the large receiving piece 3 can be placed downward and the small receiving piece 4 upward, with both receiving pieces 3, 4 enclosing the genitals. The small receiving piece 4 can be in close contact with the skin without leaving any gaps because it has a recessed cutout 42, and the large receiving piece 3 has a wide flat portion 31, so that urine can be effectively prevented from spilling out even if the posture is slightly unstable.

[0012] Finally, how to use the vomit and urination disposal bag of the present invention will be explained. 1) During vomiting As a pretreatment, the pair of receiving pieces 3, 4 in the bag 1 are separated to open the zipper 2, and the coagulant 5 is placed in the bag 1. When vomiting, the large receiving piece 3 is placed downward and the small receiving piece 4 is placed upward, the opening 11 of the bag body 1 is sufficiently widened, and the nose and mouth are inserted into the opening 11 to expel the vomit. When the vomit is discharged into the bag, it is solidified into a gel by a coagulant, and is deodorized and sterilized. Thus, after the person has finished vomiting, the zipper 2 of the bag body 1 is tightly closed, and the bag body 1 is placed in a garbage disposal bag and disposed of as general garbage. 2) When urinating The pair of receiving pieces 3, 4 in the bag 1 are separated to open the zipper 2, and the coagulant 5 is placed in the bag 1. When urinating, the opening 11 of the bag body 1 is sufficiently widened, the large receiving piece 3 is placed downward and the small receiving piece 4 is placed upward to open the opening 11 of the bag body 1 widely, and then, in the case of a man, the genitals are inserted into the opening 11 of the bag body 1, and in the case of a woman, the genitals are enclosed by the large receiving piece 3 and the small receiving piece 4 to urinate. When urine is discharged into the bag 1, it is solidified into a gel state by the coagulant, and is deodorized and sterilized. Thus, after urination is completed, the zipper 2 of the bag body 1 is tightly closed, and the bag body 1 is placed in a garbage disposal bag and disposed of as general garbage.
