Abstract:
1. A portable urinal system consisting essentially of: a urinal having a bottom and an open top, the urinal having a peripheral wall, the urinal having an outlet cylinder, the peripheral wall formed with a peripheral edge at the open top, a covering at the peripheral edge, the urinal having a left side wall and a right side wall separated by a width, the urinal having a front wall and a rear wall separated by a length, the urinal having an outlet cylinder extending from one side wall adjacent to the bottom, the bottom and side walls and front and rear walls forming a chamber and being fabricated of a generally rigid plastic material with limited flexibility, the side walls and front and rear walls forming the peripheral edge at the open top, the peripheral edge of the open top of side walls of the urinal being laterally positionable intra-labially between the labia majora to cover a user's genitalia including the user's clitoris and urethral orifice, with the chamber adjacent to the front wall overlying the user's rigid pubic symphysis and with the chamber adjacent to the rear and side walls overlying soft tissue adjacent to the labia majora and anus, the portable urinal system being held in place during use solely supportable between the thighs of the user during use by the user; a container having an upper opening and a periphery; and a flexible tube with an upper end received on the outlet cylinder of the urinal, the flexible tube having a lower end positionable in the container, the flexible tube having an intermediate extent positionable through the central passageway of the container closure during use; wherein the container has a closed base and an upper opening and a periphery, the upper opening having male threads, the container adapted to be supported between the thighs of the user during use, the container being fabricated of a generally rigid plastic material and adapted to receive urine from the intra-labial urinal; the container closure having a cylindrically-shaped component with female threads removably received on the male threads of the container, the cylindrically-shaped component having a raised central section with a central passageway and air exit vent holes, the container closure having a dome-shaped component, the dome-shaped component having an interior sealing ring positionable on the raised central section, the dome-shape component also having an intermediate sealing ring positionable on the cylindrically-shaped component adjacent to the raised central section, the dome-shaped component also having an exterior sealing ring positionable on the cylindrically-shaped component remote from the raised central section, the container closure having a living hinge coupling the cylindrically-shaped component and the dome-shaped component, the dome-shaped component being spaced from the cylindrically-shaped component prior to and during use, the dome-shaped component covering the cylindrically-shaped component after use, the container closure being fabricated of a plastic material; and the flexible tube having an upper end received on the outlet cylinder of the intra-labial urinal, the flexible tube having a lower end positionable in the container, the flexible tube having an intermediate extent positionable through the central passageway of the container closure during use, the entire flexible tube positioned within the container after use with the dome-shaped component positioned in a leakproof manner over the cylindrically-shaped component and the container.
