However, when the excrement collector 91 of Patent Document 1 is used to collect feces, if the feces are watery, they may pass through the excrement collection part 92 and be unable to be collected. In order to deal with this, if a material that is difficult for watery feces to permeate is used for the excrement collector 91, the excrement collector 91 will clog the drain pipe although the excrement can be collected.
The same applies when the excrement collector 91 of Patent Document 1 is used for collecting urine. If a hard-to-clean material is used, although urine can be collected, the excrement collector 91 clogs the drain pipe.

In the excrement collecting tool of the present invention, a fringing (so-called perforation) in which line segments with high pressing force appear in the form of broken lines around the excrement collecting portion and/or around the band portion, or a continuous line with high pressing force is provided. It is possible to form an edging (pressing strip) that appears as .

Also, the perforations and pressure strips can be formed in a pattern such as a grid over the entire surface of the band member.
Forming perforations or pressure strips on the band member or the collection member makes it difficult for the excrement collection device manufactured by stacking to separate, and adjusts the strength of the band member or the collection member when used.
On the other hand, perforations running through the front and back facilitate water penetration when wet. Therefore, by forming perforations in the band portion, the strength during use is increased, and clogging is less likely to occur when the toilet bowl is flushed.
Therefore, it is possible to control the water dissolution speed of the excrement collector by, for example, increasing or decreasing the number of perforations and pressure strip patterns, and adjusting the thickness and pitch of the dashed lines.

In addition, in the excrement collector of the present invention, a water-soluble belt-shaped reinforcing material is added in the longitudinal direction, etc., thereby suppressing a decrease in strength due to wetting of the band portion. The belt-shaped reinforcing material can be made of the same material as the base material, or can be made of a material different from the base material, for example, the same material as the film material.

The excreta collector of the present invention is suitable for collecting not only normal stool but also watery stool from ulcerative colitis patients, food poisoning patients, etc., and can be used while sitting on a toilet seat.
The excreta collector of the present invention is particularly suitable for female urine collection, and can be collected while sitting on the toilet seat.

Preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the drawings. It should be noted that the present invention is not to be construed as being limited to this, and various changes, modifications, and improvements can be made based on the knowledge of those skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the present invention.

FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a first embodiment of the excrement collector of the present invention. FIG. 1(A) shows a plan view of the excrement collector 1A, and FIG. 1(B) shows a cross-sectional view taken along line X0-X0 in (A). FIG. 1(B) also shows an enlarged view of the portion denoted by reference character F. As shown in FIG.

In FIG. 1, the excrement collector 1A comprises a rectangular collecting part 2 in plan view and band parts 4 (band parts 4a, 4b) extending to the left and right (horizontal direction) of the collecting part 2. As shown in FIG. In the figure, the vertical widths of the band portions 4a and 4b are configured to be the same as the vertical width of the sampling portion 2, but they can be configured to be narrower or wider than the vertical width of the sampling portion 2. can also In addition, in the excrement collector 1A of the present embodiment, wrinkles K are formed in the finished product because the planar material is three-dimensionally press-molded. The same applies to the excrement collectors 1B to 1E of the second to fifth embodiments.

As shown in FIG. 1(B), the collecting part 2 has a two-stage inverted pyramid container shape in this embodiment, and is composed of an upper receiving part 21 and a lower reservoir 22 . . A flat portion 23 is formed between the receiving portion 21 and the reservoir 22 . The flat portion 23 is formed with an excrement discharge hole W2.

The collecting part 2 is composed of a collecting part base material that constitutes the whole (receiving part 21 and reservoir 22 ) and a film material 24 formed in the region of the reservoir 22 .
Since the collection part 2 is formed in an inverted pyramid shape, when the user's watery feces is discharged to the receiving part 21, the required amount is held in the reservoir 22, and the surplus is discharged from the excrement discharge hole W2. be done.
Further, by forming the flat portion 23 between the receiving portion 21 and the reservoir 22, it becomes easy to fabricate a mechanism for punching the excrement discharge hole W2 in a press die (not shown). In this embodiment, the weight of watery stool accumulated in the collection part 2 can be reduced.

The band portions 4a and 4b are made of a band portion base material and an adhesive layer C formed on the bottom surface of the end portion.
In the present embodiment, the sampling part base material and the band part base material are made of laminated paper (water-soluble and water-dissolvable paper) of two layers (paper layers S1 and S2) that dissolve in water, and the sampling part base material and the band part base material are It is formed from continuous (ie, identical sheets) single-ply paper stock or laminated paper stock.
In this embodiment, the adhesive layer C is also selected to be soluble in water. The adhesive layer C is covered with release paper before use. This release paper can also be formed so as to dissolve in water, and for example, water-soluble paper coated with a wax material can be used.

The film material 24 formed in the reservoir 22 portion is a film material that dissolves in water, but preferably has the function of retaining watery feces and/or urine in the reservoir 22 without dissolving in water for a predetermined period of time. . In this way, even if watery feces or urine, for example, accumulates in the reservoir 22, the film material 24 does not immediately melt or break, and retains its cup-like shape, allowing the watery feces or urine to flow. It can be stored for a predetermined time. It is suitable not only for normal stool but also for collection of watery stool and urine. Since the film material 24 is a water-soluble material, the excrement collector 1A can be washed with water by discarding the excrement collector 1A together with the excrement in the toilet after collecting the excrement.

The water-soluble film material may be, for example, a resin film material, such as a PVA-based resin film. As is clear from the enlarged view of the F part in FIG. 1B, the reservoir 22 part has a film material 24 between the two paper layers S1 and S2 constituting the collecting part base member. It has a sandwiched three-layer structure.

Reservoir 22 preferably has a retention rate of 15% or more 3 minutes after injection of physiological saline. Since the film material 24 is also flushed down the toilet, the retention rate is preferably 85% or less or 95% or less.

It should be noted that the weight of excrement collectors currently available on the market is about 6 grams or more. In contrast, the excrement collector of the present embodiment should be designed to weigh about 5 grams or less (or 4.5 grams or less, or 4.0 grams or less). As a result, when the excreta collector 1A is flushed down the toilet, paper clogging in the drainpipe or the like is less likely to occur.

As shown in FIG. 1(A), in the present embodiment, a fringe DL (in this specification, a border DL) in which line segments having a high pressing force appear as broken lines around the sampling portion 2 and around the band portions 4a and 4b. Also called perforations) are formed. Although not shown, an appropriate pattern is formed over the entire surfaces of the band portions 4a and 4b, such as a grid in which line segments with high pressing force are represented by broken lines, a grid in which continuous lines with high pressing force are represented, and the like. can do.

In the excrement collecting tool 1A of FIG. 1, the edging DL makes it difficult for the layers of water-dissolvable paper constituting the excrement collecting tool 1A to peel off, so that the strength of the collecting part 2 and the band parts 4a, 4b is ensured. Therefore, by increasing or decreasing the pattern of the edging DL and adjusting the thickness and pitch of the edging DL, it is possible to control the rate at which the excrement collector dissolves in water.

When manufacturing the excrement collecting tool 1A, for example, an integrated product of the collecting part base material L1 and the band part base L2 is formed by superimposing multiple layers (in this embodiment, two layers) of water-soluble paper and punching it into a desired shape. , can be manufactured by molding by hot press. At this time, the excrement collector 1A shown in FIG. 1 can be manufactured by arranging the film material 24 at a desired position.

At least one of a disinfectant, a deodorant, a deodorant, and an aromatic agent is added to the excrement collector 1A (for example, impregnated) in a process prior to hot pressing, at the same time as hot pressing, or in a process following hot pressing. ) is good.

FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a second embodiment of the excrement collector of the present invention. FIG. 2(A) shows a plan view of the excrement collector 1B, and FIG. 2(B) shows a side sectional view taken along line X0-X0 in (A). FIG. 2(B) also shows an enlarged view of the portion indicated by reference numeral F. As shown in FIG.

The excrement collector 1B of this embodiment differs from that of the first embodiment in that the band portions 4a and 4b are provided with lightening holes W1. Six weight reduction holes W1 in FIG. 2 are provided in each of the band portions 4a and 4b. Alternatively, only one lightening hole may be provided in each of the band portions 4a and 4b.

FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a third embodiment of the excrement collector of the present invention. FIG. 3(A) shows a plan view of the excrement collector 1C, and FIG. 3(B) shows a cross-sectional view taken along line X0-X0 in (A). FIG. 3B also shows an enlarged view of the portion indicated by reference character F. As shown in FIG. As described above, the excrement collector 1C of this embodiment is provided with one lightening hole in each of the band portions 4a and 4b.

FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a fourth embodiment of the excrement collector of the present invention. FIG. 4(A) shows a plan view of the excrement collector 1D, and FIG. 4(B) shows a cross-sectional view taken along line X0-X0 in (A). FIG. 4B also shows an enlarged view of the portion indicated by reference numeral F. As shown in FIG.

In the first to third embodiments shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the film material 24 is formed in the region including the reservoir 22, but in this embodiment, the collecting portion in the region including the reservoir 22 A water permeability reducing material 25 is provided on the inner surface of the cup-shaped reservoir 22 of the base material, that is, the surface of the paper layer S1. The water permeability reducing material 25 is preferably formed by applying a predetermined paint to the surface of the paper layer S1, for example. As the paint used for the water permeability reducing material 25, for example, a paint containing polyethylene terephthalate, polyolefin, or the like may be used, or a paint containing cellulose as a main component may be used.

By using the water-permeability-reducing material 25, even if watery feces or urine accumulates in the reservoir 22, the water-permeability-reducing material 25 does not immediately melt or break, and the reservoir 22 remains in a cup-like shape. and retain the watery stool and urine for a predetermined time. Therefore, it is suitable not only for normal stool but also for collection of watery stool and urine. Although the water permeability reducing material 25 does not immediately dissolve in water like paper, it does dissolve in water. Can be washed with water.

FIGS. 5(A) to 5(C) are diagrams showing how the excrement collector 1C shown in FIG. 3 is used. The excrement collecting tool 1A of FIG. 1, the excrement collecting tool 1B of FIG. 2, and the excrement collecting tool 1D of FIG. 4 are also used in the same manner.

In the example shown in FIGS. 5(A)-(C), the seated toilet bowl 6 comprises a rim 61 and a toilet seat 62 . FIG. 5A is a plan view of the seated toilet bowl 6 when the toilet seat 62 is set so that the user can sit on it. 5B is a cross-sectional view (front view) along line X1-X1 in (A), and FIG. 5C is a cross-sectional view (side view) along line X2-X2 in (A).

The ends of the band portions 4a and 4b of the excrement collector 1C are adhered to the left and right upper surfaces of the toilet seat 62 of the seated toilet bowl 6 by the adhesive layer C. As shown in FIG. As a result, the collecting part 2 is suspended from the toilet seat 62 by the band parts 4a and 4b.
In the excreta collector 1C shown in FIGS. 5A to 5C, the stool of the user 7 is collected by the collector 2. As shown in FIG. This stool may be normal semi-solid stool, but especially in the case of watery stool, the stool is held in the reservoir 22, so that it can be collected with a dropper or the like.
Although a usage pattern in which the band portion 4 has three or more band portions is not illustrated, by attaching the three band portions to the upper surface of the toilet seat 62, the collection portion 2 is suspended from the toilet seat 62 by the band portions. be.

FIG. 6 is a diagram showing a sixth embodiment of the excrement collector of the present invention. The excrement collecting tool 1E of FIG. 6 is used for collecting urine. FIG. 6(A) shows a plan view of the excrement collecting tool 1E, and FIG. 6(B) is a cross-sectional view of X0-X0 in (A) is shown. FIG. 6B also shows an enlarged view of the portion indicated by reference numeral F. As shown in FIG.

In this embodiment, the excrement collecting tool 1E is substantially the same as the excrement collecting tool 1C of the third embodiment, except that the edges of the band portions 4a and 4b are obliquely cut. is different from The excrement collectors 1A to 1D of the first to fourth embodiments can also be used as they are for collecting urine.
When collecting urine, the excrement collector 1E must be placed in front of the toilet seat as shown in FIG. Since the band portions 4a and 4b are slanted, the excrement collector 1E can be easily attached to the toilet seat.
In this embodiment, even if the reservoir 22 leaks urine, the urine can be discharged through the excrement discharge hole W2, and the urine can be retained by the film material 24 for a predetermined time (for example, about 180 seconds).

FIGS. 7A to 7C are diagrams showing usage patterns of the excrement collector 1E shown in FIG. In the example shown in FIGS. 7(A)-(C), the seated toilet bowl 6 has a rim 61 and a toilet seat 62 . FIG. 7A is a plan view of the seated toilet bowl 6 when the toilet seat 62 is set so that the user can sit on it. FIG. 7(B) is a cross-sectional view (front view) taken along line X1-X1 in (A). FIG. 7(C) is a cross-sectional view (side view) taken along line X2-X2 in (A).

In the excrement collector 1E, the ends of the band portions 4a and 4b are attached to the right and left upper surfaces of the toilet seat 62 of the seated toilet bowl 6, so that the collecting portion 2 is suspended from the toilet seat 62 by the band portions 4a and 4b. In the excrement collector 1 shown in FIGS. 7A to 7C, urine of the user 7 is collected by the collector 2 .

FIG. 8 is a diagram showing a sixth embodiment of the excrement collector of the present invention. FIG. 8(A) shows a plan view of the excrement collector 1F, and FIG. 8(B) shows a cross-sectional view taken along line X0-X0 in (A). FIG. 8B also shows an enlarged view of the portion indicated by reference numeral F. As shown in FIG. The excrement collection tool 1F of this embodiment is based on the excrement collection tool 1C of the third embodiment, and furthermore, the inner surface of the cup-shaped reservoir 22 of the collection part base material in the region including the reservoir 22, that is, the paper A reagent 26 is placed on the surface of layer S1.

The reagent 26 has a function of detecting the physical condition/condition of the user 7 by contacting and reacting with urine or feces excreted from the user 7 . The reagent 26 may be visually recognizable by the user 7 so that the display state changes due to the reaction, and the display state change may be, for example, a color change. The reagent 26 may be, for example, a urine test drug for testing at least one of urinary protein, urinary sugar, and urinary occult blood, or a test drug for testing fecal occult blood. Also, the reagent 26 may be, for example, a pregnancy test drug for determination based on urine, and other various types can be applied.

The reagent 26 may be placed on the entire or entire inner surface of the cup-shaped reservoir 22, but it is preferable to place the reagent 26 partially. A partial arrangement, for example, a reagent for a urine test, may be on the side surface of the cup-shaped reservoir 22, particularly in the depth direction within the region from the upper portion to the central portion of the side surface. Also, in the direction of rotation, it is preferable to arrange them discretely instead of endlessly. In the case of making them discrete, it is preferable to form them at a plurality of locations with different heights and depths, since detection can be efficiently performed in a small installation area and locations.

In the case of a fecal reagent, it is preferable to form it on the bottom surface of the cup-shaped reservoir 22, and when it is formed on the side surface, it is preferable to form it on the lower part. In the case of the bottom surface, it is preferable to provide, for example, near the periphery rather than the entire surface. Even if it is arranged in the center of the bottom surface, it is difficult to visually recognize the reaction state of the reagent if feces remain on it. On the other hand, the reagent 26 provided near the periphery contacts and reacts with the surface of the stool near the periphery, and the result of the reaction becomes visible when viewed from the lateral direction.

Furthermore, in a state in which the feces are accumulated in the cup-shaped reservoir 22, the user 7 or the like supplies water or other desired aqueous solution into the reservoir 22 to dissolve or soften the surface of the feces, for example. Faecal occult blood should be easily detected. Further, since the position where feces are collected is not fixed, it is preferable to dispose the reagent 26 over the entire surface, although this increases the cost.

Moreover, the reservoir 22 has a film material 24 and retains excrement and the like without dissolving in water or tearing for a predetermined time. Therefore, the predetermined time should be set to a time sufficient for the reagent 26 to react and the result to appear.

According to this embodiment, the user 7 looks at the inner surface of the reservoir 22 after urination or defecation and visually recognizes the color of the reagent 26, thereby easily knowing the current state/situation of his or her body. be able to. In addition, in the case of a worrisome result such as an abnormality, it is good because it provides an opportunity to consult a medical institution early.

Although the sixth embodiment described above is configured on the premise of the third embodiment, it can also be applied to various other embodiments and modifications.

Further, in the sixth embodiment and its modification, the predetermined reagent 26 is provided on the surface of the reservoir 22, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the container containing the reagent is provided in each of the above-described embodiments. Good. The reagent may be solid such as powder or granules, or may be liquid.

In this embodiment having a container containing a reagent as described above, the reagent in the container is supplied into the reservoir 22 in a state in which the reservoir 22 is filled with excrement such as feces and urine due to defecation and/or urination. Then, the supplied reagent reacts with the excrement, resulting in a desired display state such as color development. The user can easily know the current state/situation of his/her own body or the like by visually recognizing the display state such as the color of the reagent. In addition, in the case of a worrisome result such as an abnormality, it is good because it provides an opportunity to consult a medical institution early.

For example, if the reagent is kept fresh by storing it in a container so that it deteriorates when it comes into contact with air or the like, it is preferable to store it in a sealed container so that the freshness can be maintained. In addition, even if the reagent is not related to freshness, for example, by supplying the reagent after excretion, the reagent can be supplied in an appropriate amount and position according to the amount of excrement and the position of excretion. , appropriate determination can be made with a necessary and sufficient amount of reagent. Furthermore, by preparing a container containing a different reagent for each reagent, it is possible to perform a simple determination using a reagent suitable for the situation of the user at that time. Also, when the reagent is a liquid, for example, even in the case of normal semi-solid stool, the surface of the stool can be dissolved or softened.
