     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS  
       [0029]     Preferred embodiments of the present invention are described in more detail below referring to the accompanying drawings. An understanding of the present invention may be best gained by reference FIGS.  1  to  8 .  
         [0030]     The numeral  1  shows a urine absorbent article of this invention, which absorbs bodily fluids such as urine and moisture and can be thrown away. The urine absorbent article is comprised of a urine absorbent body  5  formed shape of a square substantially, having an absorbent part  2 , which can absorb bodily fluids such as urine and moisture, between a top sheet  3  and a back sheet  4  with anti-leak; a connection part  6 , formed in the shape of a belt, which is attached to an end portion of the urine absorbent body  5 ; and a stopper  8  having an adhesion part  7 , which is attached to an end portion of the connection part  6 , capable of preventing to slip or come off the urine absorbent body  5  when in use.  
         [0031]     The absorbent part  2  includes an absorbable sheet  9 , such as cotton pulp currently used with the disposable diaper etc., absorbable paper and high polymer absorber material.  
         [0032]     For the urine absorbent article  1 , as shown in  FIG. 8 , after the urine absorbent body  5  inserts in a urine bottle  11  via an opening  10  inserting or attaching the predetermined parts of elderly people, sick person and the handicapped, an exfoliation paper X is removed. Then the adhesion part  7  of the stopper  8  is adhered fixedly to the outer circumferential part of the opening  10 .  
         [0033]     When in use, the urine bottle  11  is used by the same method as usual. When the urine is discharged, the sound of urination is muffled since it is absorbed by the absorbent part  2  of the urine absorbent body  5  quickly, and the urine does not stay in the urine bottle  11  since it is absorbed by absorbent part  2 .  
         [0034]     When the urine absorbent article  1  which absorbed urine is disposed, the adhesion part  7  is tore off from the opening  10 , and the urine absorbent body  5  with the absorbed urine is taken out and disposed.  
         [0035]     Therefore, since the urine is not spilt when the urine absorbent article  1  is carried or dropped, it can be dealt with sanitarily without leaking and falling urine.  
         [0036]     Moreover, when it is putting in the room for a long time, and indoor environment can be kept good without filling with bad smell.  
         [0037]     In addition, the urine bottle  11  for males is explained in this embodiment, and the urine bottles for women, for children, etc. may be used in this invention.  
         [0038]     Other embodiments of the present invention will now be described referring to FIGS.  9  to  21 . Through the drawings of the embodiments, like components are denoted by like numerals as of the first embodiment and will not be further explained in great detail.  
         [0039]     A second embodiment of the present invention is shown in  FIGS. 9 and 10  and is distinguished from the first embodiment by the fact that the urine absorbent body  5  is replaced from another urine absorbent body  5 A which is formed in the shape of an ellipse. A urine absorbent article  1 A in this way according to the second embodiment has similar advantages to that according to the first embodiment.  
         [0040]     In this embodiment, the elliptical urine absorbent body  5  is explained, and the urine absorbent body  5  may be formed in the shape of a circle.  
         [0041]     A third embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIGS.  11  to  13  and is distinguished from the first embodiment by the fact that the urine absorbent body  5  is replaced from another urine absorbent body  5 B which is formed in the shape of an arc in section. A urine absorbent article  1 B in this way according to the third embodiment has similar advantages to that according to the first embodiment.  
         [0042]     A fourth embodiment of the present invention is shown in  FIGS. 14 and 15  and is distinguished from the first embodiment by the fact that the absorbent part  2  is replaced from another absorbent part  2 A including an odor absorber  12  which can absorb the odor. A urine absorbent article  1 C in this way according to the fourth embodiment has similar advantages to that according to the first embodiment. Therefore, when it leaves for a long time, and indoor environment can be kept good without filling with bad smell.  
         [0043]     In addition, the odor absorber  12  may be wrapped in a water-soluble film, and it may be installed in the urine absorbent body  5 .  
         [0044]     A fifth embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIGS.  16  to  19  and is distinguished from the first embodiment by the fact that the urine absorbent body  5  is replaced from another urine absorbent body  5 C which is formed in the shape of a cylinder, having an opening  13  provided at a tip portion thereof. A urine absorbent article  1 D in this way according to the fifth embodiment has similar advantages to that according to the first embodiment.  
         [0045]     A sixth embodiment of the present invention is shown in  FIGS. 20 and 21  and is distinguished from the fifth embodiment by the fact that a waterproof cover  14  is provided and is covered the outer circumferential part of the urine absorbent body  5 C except the tip part thereof, capably of waterproofing. A urine absorbent article  1 E in this way according to the sixth embodiment has similar advantages to that according to the fifth embodiment.  
         [0046]     In addition, since the adhesive tape, fixation tape and the like may be attached to the outer part of the waterproof cover  14 , capably of attaching to a bag, a container or the like, the urine absorbent article is stored into the container, and the users can bring when they go out and can always use it easily.  
         [0047]     Furthermore, although each embodiment differs mainly explained based on the first embodiment, when the composition used for each embodiment uses the present invention is combined, the same effect is achieved.  
         [0048]     As set forth above, the advantages of the invention are as follows:  
         [0049]     (1) Since the urine absorbent article includes a urine absorbent body, having an absorbent part, capable of absorbing bodily fluids and moisture; a connection part which is attached to an end portion of the urine absorbent body; and a stopper which is attached to the connection part, capable of preventing to slip or come off from the urine absorbent body when in use, the sound of urination is muffled since it is absorbed by the absorbent part of the urine absorbent body quickly when the urine is discharged, and the urine does not stay in the urine bottle  11  since it is absorbed by absorbent part.  
         [0050]     Therefore, since the urine is not spilt when the urine absorbent article is carried or dropped, it can be dealt with sanitarily without displeasure to other people.  
         [0051]     (2) As discussed above, since the urine absorbent body with the absorbed urine is taken out and disposed, it can save the nurses and male nurse trouble.  
         [0052]     (3) As discussed above, since it can manufacture cheaply, the user can use it without an economical burden.  
         [0053]     (4) As discussed above, since the urine is absorbed in the urine absorbent body, indoor environment can be kept good without filling with bad smell when it is putting in the room for a long time.  
         [0054]     (5) Claims  2  to  6  have similar advantages to the above-mentioned (1) to (4).
