Abstract

An incontinence diaper system for providing an incontinence diaper with a drainage system to reduce urine excrement retention with the incontinence diaper. The incontinence diaper system includes a diaper having a drain aperture, an interior liner juxtaposed to the diaper having a funnel aperture into one side, a drain funnel secured within the funnel aperture to collect the urine absorbed by the interior liner, a tubing coupled to the drain funnel opposite of the funnel aperture, and a reservoir coupled to the tubing opposite of the drain funnel to store the collected urine which flows through the tubing. For males, an elongated tapering tube having a bulbous enlarged end for coupling to the penis.

Claims

1. An incontinence diaper system comprising:

a diaper;

said diaper including a drain aperture projecting concentrically through;

an interior liner juxtaposed to an interior surface of said diaper, where said interior liner captures urine excrement while excluding bowels evacuations;

said interior liner including a funnel aperture into the side juxtaposed to said diaper, where said funnel aperture aligns with said drain aperture;

a drain funnel mating within said funnel aperture, where said drain funnel receives said urine excrement; and

a length of tubing mating with said drain funnel and projecting through said drain aperture, thereby forming an exit for said urine excrement.

2. The incontinence diaper system of claim 1, wherein a reservoir is coupled to said tubing opposite of said drain funnel, thereby containing and storing said urine excrement.

3. The incontinence diaper system of claim 2, wherein said interior liner comprises:

a permeable mesh encasement surrounding a semi-absorbent filling; and

a resilient swaged impermeable member juxtaposed to the interior bottom surface of said permeable mesh encasement adjacent to said drain funnel.

4. The incontinence diaper system of claim 3, wherein said tubing including a length of tape around the outer perimeter portion that engages said drain aperture, thereby retaining said tubing firmly in place.

5. An incontinence diaper system comprising:

a diaper;

a penis coupler extending from said diaper, said penis coupler including an elongated tapering tube having a bulbous enlarged end and a narrow end with a cincture surrounding an edge of said bulbous enlarged end, where said enlarged end removably couples to a penis; and

a length of tubing mating with said narrow end, thereby forming an exit for said urine excrement.

6. The incontinence diaper system of claim 5, wherein a reservoir is coupled to said tubing opposite of said narrow end, thereby containing and storing said urine excrement.
