Patent Images
1. An apparatus for fluid collection, comprising:
- a frame, composed of a plurality of coplanar-disposed unit cells, each being made of an absorbent polymer composite and formed with at least a penetrating hole for consequently enabling the frame to have a plurality of holes; and
a bag, for receiving the frame while connected to a conduit provided for a fluid to flow in and out the bag therethrough;
wherein the plural unit cells are coplanar-disposed on a configuration plane while enabling the two neighboring sides of any two neighboring unit cells to be formed with irregular fringes that can be mated with each other.

20. An apparatus for fluid collection, comprising:
-
a frame, composed of a plurality of coplanar-disposed unit cells, each being made of an absorbent polymer composite and formed with at least a penetrating hole for consequently enabling the frame to have a plurality of holes; and a bag, for receiving the frame while connected to a conduit provided for a fluid to flow in and out the bag therethrough; wherein the plural unit cells are interconnected with each other by the use of at least a pivotal connecting mechanism, and each pivotal connecting mechanism, being formed on the two neighboring sides of any two neighboring unit cells, includes a convex arc-shaped fringe formed on one of the two neighboring sides and a concave arc-shaped fringe formed on another side that are capable of mating with each other for enabling the two neighboring unit cells to pivot thereby.
