Abstract:
A portable urinal apparatus, comprising:an egg shaped hollow catch basin, which has an interior chamber, a wide side urinal opening provided on a front side, and an outlet opening provided on a bottom of said catch basin for discharging fluids in said catch basin, wherein said catch basin defines a semi enclosed interior chamber which has a size larger than an erect penis of a male user, and said urinal opening has a height and a width of at least five inches respectively so that said erect penis of said male user is able to entirely place therein, wherein the urinal opening is angled and defines a lip at a bottom of said urinal opening in such a manner that said lip extends outwardly and away from said catch basin to define a catch area adapted for allowing said catch basin to catch any flows and dripping during urination of said male user, wherein top and side walls of said catch basin are curved to reflect any fluid splattering towards an inside of said interior chamber and a bottom of said interior chamber is sloped down towards said outlet opening in bowl shape, so as to direct any liquid flowing into said interior chamber to a middle of said interior chamber rather than sides of said interior chambers to prevent splashing out; a supporter connected to said top wall of said catch basin; and a discharge tube connecting to said bottom of said catch basin, wherein a top end of said discharge tube communicates with said outlet opening for the removal of fluids from said catch basin, through said outlet opening, to a bottom end of said discharge tube; thereby, said male user is capable of holding said portable urinal apparatus by said supporter and placing said discharge tube over a toilet while placing said penis of said male user inside said interior chamber via said wide side urinal opening to urinate into said catch basin, so that urine flows through said catch basin down said discharge tube to said toilet.
