Automatic self cleaning bladder relief system
First Claim
1. An automatic bladder relief system comprised of:
- a urine depository means;
a urine transport means attached to the urine depository means;
a urine storage means attached to the urine transport means;
a disposable power source means;
a cleaning means;
the urine depository means is comprised of;
a base pad;
at least one air cushion tubing attached to the base pad; and
an air pump attached to the air cushion tubing such that when the air pump is activated the air cushion tubing inflates from a generally flat condition to an inflated condition thereby forming with the base pad an area where urine discharged by a user can pool generally away from contact with the user'"'"'s body and then the pooled urine can be transported by the transport means and upon deactivation of the air pump the air cushion tubing discharges the pumped air by means of compression caused by the user'"'"'s seated body weight and returns to the generally flat condition.

Abstract
This invention relates to an automatic or semi-automatic bladder relief system, specifically designed to increase the overall sanitation and comfort for users that may require a means to dispose of their urine in the absence of other sanitary facilities due to situations such as aircraft pilots and incontinent individuals. For user comfort this invention incorporates an inflatable urine collection means that may be deflated after use. To prevent user error and failure to recharge the power unit this invention incorporates a disposable battery that is integrated into a disposable urine storage bag. This invention also utilizes a disposable urine storage bag with an isolated cleaning fluid chamber with a directional valve system and directional pump system that automatically rinses and sanitizes the pump, hoses, collection means and the user with a cleaning fluid stored in the cleaning fluid chamber of the disposable urine storage bag. The disposable urine storage bag also contains absorbent polymer crystals capable of absorbing the urine as it is deposited in the bag during use.
