Abstract

What is disclosed is a non-invasive urine collecting device and method for storing urine therein. The device provides sanitary and modest means for concealing a catheter-type device underneath a man'"'"'s clothing so that the tube cannot be observed, but the individual wearing said device may discharge urine into the tube which is stored therein until later removal. The device comprises a jock strap type harness with a pouch in front for securing the male penis into a nozzle which is fluidly coupled with a collection tube that extends downwardly towards a person'"'"'s ankle and can be strapped to the individual'"'"'s leg and clamped closed so as to collect the bodily fluids for disposal later.

Claims

1. A urine collecting device and method thereof comprising:

A waist encompassing harness, said harness having;

a waist-strap, a pair of leg straps, and a pouch for retention of a male penis therein;

A hose adaptor in fluid communication with said pouch;

A tube for collecting urine, in fluid communication with said hose adaptor;

A discharge orifice;

and a means for clamping said discharge orifice.

2. The urine collecting device and method thereof is set forth in claim 1, wherein, also providing a means for securing the discharge orifice at the adjacent the discharge end, to an individual'"'"'s leg above the ankle, so as to avoid visual detection of said collection tube.

3. The urine collecting device and method thereof as set forth in claim 1, wherein said hose adaptor is comprised of a tubular flexible sheath, having first and second ends with a sealed connection between said tube and said sheath first end, and a second sealed connection at said second end and said pouch for retaining penis.

4. The urine collecting device and method thereof as set forth in claim 1, wherein said tube for collecting urine is comprised of flexible surgical tubing.

5. The urine collecting device and method thereof as set forth in claim 1, wherein said tube for collecting urine is comprised of rubber tubing.

6. The urine collecting device and method thereof as set forth in claim 1, wherein said tube for collecting urine is comprised of plastic tubing.

7. The urine collecting device and method thereof as set forth in claim 1, wherein said clamping means having a pair of opposing rigid flat tab portions having first and second end portions, said tab portions connected at a first end by a spring, said tab portions second ends being normally distal and urged towards the said opposing tab portion by said spring.

8. The urine collecting device and method thereof as set forth in claim 1, wherein said tube for collecting urine in fluid communication with the hose adaptor, comprises a collapsible tube which is capable of storing a volume of urine and other bodily fluids emanating from a male penis, wherein said volume is at least that of a typical fluid discharge from a person'"'"'s bladder.

9. The urine collecting device and method thereof as set forth in claim 2, wherein said means for securing the discharge orifice at the adjacent the discharge end comprises an

adjustable strap around the ankle for compressing the tube to close the flow path of liquid.

10. The method of collecting urine comprising the steps of providing a waist harness with means for securing a male penis;

connecting means for securing to a nozzle end;

fluidly coupling said nozzle end to a tubular storage collector;

providing a clamping means adjacent opposite end of said tubular storage means; and

fastening a discharge end of said tubular means to an individual'"'"'s leg adjacent and above the ankle, thereby concealing said tubular storage means within a man'"'"'s pant leg so as to avoid visual detection of said tube.
