Abstract

A urine disposal device for use with a urine detecting device that provides for smooth urination without compressing the wearer's urethra so that urination may be surely detected and voided urine may be quickly discharged out of the urine disposal devices. The urine disposal device has a front-back direction and includes a urination area having a first surface portion and a second surface portion cooperating to cover the penis of a wearer from the front-back direction and an opening through which the penis is inserted. The urination area has a urine collecting container provided in the second surface portion and the second surface portion lies on the side of the wearer's body.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A urine disposal device for use with a urine detecting device including a urine sensor adapted to detect urination, wherein said urine disposal device comprises:
a front-back direction and includes a urination area having a first surface portion and a second surface portion cooperating to cover a penis of a wearer in the front-back direction and an opening extending in a width direction of the urination area through which the penis is inserted;
the urination area has a urine collecting container and the second surface portion lies on the side of the wearer's body; and
the urine disposal device includes a urine detecting structure at least having a liquid-permeable topsheet, a liquid-impermeable backsheet and the urine sensor and the urine collecting container both interposed between these sheets and a cover sheet wherein the first and second surface portions of the urination area are formed by doubling up the urine detecting structure.

2. The urine disposal device according to claim 1 , wherein an opening's periphery in at least one of the first and second surface portions is provided with an elastic rebound member extending in the urination area.

3. The urine disposal device according to claim 2 , wherein the opening's periphery provided with the elastic rebound member is provided with a leakage-barrier having a predetermined thickness.

4. The urine disposal device according to claim 3 , wherein the urine disposal device has a longitudinal direction and the first surface portion extends outwardly in the longitudinal direction beyond the second surface portion.

5. The urine disposal device according to claim 4 , wherein the leakage-barrier is a fibrous nonwoven fabric layer composed of a plurality of fibrous nonwoven fabric sheets laminated together.

6. The urine disposal device according to claim 3 , wherein the leakage-barrier is a fibrous nonwoven fabric layer composed of a plurality of fibrous nonwoven fabric sheets laminated together.

7. The urine disposal device according to claim 2 , wherein the urine disposal device has a longitudinal direction and the first surface portion extends outwardly in the longitudinal direction beyond the second surface portion.

8. The urine disposal device according to claim 2 , wherein a leakage-barrier is a fibrous nonwoven fabric layer composed of a plurality of fibrous nonwoven fabric sheets laminated together.

9. The urine disposal device according to claim 1 , wherein an opening's periphery provided with an elastic rebound member is provided with a leakage-barrier having a predetermined thickness.

10. The urine disposal device according to claim 9 , wherein the urine disposal device has a longitudinal direction and the first surface portion extends outwardly in the longitudinal direction beyond the second surface portion.

11. The urine disposal device according to claim 9 , wherein the leakage-barrier is a fibrous nonwoven fabric layer composed of a plurality of fibrous nonwoven fabric sheets laminated together.

12. The urine disposal device according to claim 1 , wherein the urine disposal device has a longitudinal direction and the first surface portion extends outwardly in the longitudinal direction beyond the second surface portion.

13. The urine disposal device according to claim 12 , wherein a leakage-barrier is a fibrous nonwoven fabric layer composed of a plurality of fibrous nonwoven fabric sheets laminated together.

14. The urine disposal device according to claim 1 , wherein a leakage-barrier is a fibrous nonwoven fabric layer composed of a plurality of fibrous nonwoven fabric sheets laminated together.
