Patent ID: 7993311

Claim:
A urine collecting and disposal system, comprising: (a) a source for producing subatmospheric pressure; (b) a reservoir maintained connected to said subatmospheric pressure source for supply of subatmospheric pressure, (c) a urine transport tube in valved fluid communication with said reservoir; (d) a normally closed transport tube valve operatively arranged with respect to said transport tube and, for valving fluid communication of said reservoir with said transport tube to allow or disallow subatmospheric pressure from said reservoir in said transport tube distally from said valve; (e) a urine receptacle in fluid communication with an end of said transport tube distal from said transport tube valve and said reservoir, said receptacle having access to atmospheric air, for receiving urine from a urine donor; (f) a switch operatively associated with said transport tube valve and proximate said urine receptacle for switching said transport tube valve open and closed; and (g) a urine discharger spaced from said reservoir for removal and disposal of urine from said reservoir without exposing said reservoir to atmospheric pressure, said discharger including a receiving inlet in fluid communication with said reservoir for receiving urine from said reservoir at subatmospheric pressure, said inlet being sealingly closeable to maintain the reservoir at subatmospheric pressure during discharge of urine from said discharger, and a discharging outlet for discharging the urine at atmospheric pressure when said inlet is sealingly closed.
