Patent ID: 7871385

Claim:
A urine sample collection device, comprising a urine receptor into which a user urinates; wherein the urine receptor contains a single outlet aperture flaring out to a rim defining a perimeter of an inlet area into which the user urinates; a hollow tubular member having a generally elongate form defining a closed tubular chamber, an inlet end containing an inlet opening communicating with said chamber, and an outlet end opposite said inlet end and containing an outlet opening communicating with said chamber; wherein the tubular member includes an inner surface and a sampling outlet fixture formed in a side wall thereof intermediate the inlet end and the outlet end; wherein the inlet end of the tubular member is connected with the single outlet aperture of the urine receptor so that all urine from the user flows out of the urine receptor and into the tubular member chamber; wherein the sampling outlet fixture defines a passage extending through the side wall of the tubular member and communicating with said chamber; wherein the fixture has an external portion which extends externally out from the tubular member and the external portion contains an external end opening of the passage; wherein the fixture external portion includes a coupling for releasably mounting an open topped urine sample collection container thereto for collecting urine flowing through the passage and out of the external end opening; wherein the fixture has an internal portion which extends internally into the tubular member chamber through the side wall of the tubular member and the internal portion contains an internal end opening of the passage; and a flow diverter formed on the internal portion of the fixture, said flow diverter comprising a surface inclined relative to said inner surface of the closed tubular member to direct smaller urine flows from the urine receptor along the tubular member inner surface past the internal end opening while allowing larger urine flows from the urine receptor within the tubular member to pass through the internal end opening into the passage.
