Claim:
1. Apparatus for collecting expelled urine, comprising: a funnel section opening which diverges to define a first exit and a second exit, said funnel section having a configuration to receive urine and direct said urine to said first exit and to said second exit; and a receptacle for receiving and storing urine from said first exit, said receptacle including a substantially spherical floatation valve for closing said receptacle when full, such that said receptacle receives an initial flow of urine and subsequent urine is directed to said second exit; wherein said substantially spherical floatation valve is configured to engage with said first exit so as to block said first exit and prevent subsequent flow into said first exit after receipt of the initial flow of urine; and said apparatus further comprising a deflector positioned at an entrance to said second exit, said deflector extending across a portion of said second exit so as to cover said portion of said second exit, the deflector being adapted so as to deflect urine towards said first exit in preference to said second exit.
