This invention relates -to a method and a~paratus for : collecting human was-te matter.
At present, the methods in use in hospitals for aiding bedridden patients ~hen they wish to excrete or urinate suffer from many disadvantages.. The process can be painful;
particularly to those p~tients with sèrious ailments and who suffer pain when being moved. It can also be quite messy a~d unhygienic, and allow bed-sheets and atmosphere to become contaminated or infected. The task is difficult also 10 ~ for nur-es and the like, who have to lift the patients. The process can also be quite embarrassing for the.patient.
The present invention seeks to overcome these problems.
According to one aspect of the invention there is provided apparatus for collecting human waste matter, said apparatus being wearable by a user and comprising a tubular member, connection means for attaching the inlet end of said tubular member to .a human waste . passage to receive waste therefrom, a flexible tube having a closed end for receiving and retaining human waste matter passed through the . outlet end of ~aid tubular member, said flexible tube . being contracted in.its longitudinal direction in a : qtorage attitude until use thereof is required, being comprised of successive waste matter receiving portions :. 25 each of which can be severed in -turn from the .
remainder of said flexible tube after use thereof, . and being reclo~ed for delivery of matter into a succeeding portion after use of a precedirlg portion, and retainer means engageable with said flexible,tube, said re-tainer means co-o~erating with said flexible ~ - 2 -,~,~, ' .

this purpose, the member may have a funnel comprising ribs connected by webs, the funnel being designed so that it will exert a light pressure on the walls of the anal passage. Alternatively, the funnel may be hollow and inflatable, so that it can be inserted into the anal passage in a collapsed condition and tllen inflated by passing a fluid (e.g.
glycerine, or air) into it via a passage provided for this purpose.
Faeces will then pass into the funnel, and through tlle tubular member into the flexl.ble tube which is fitted around the end of the member, Eorcing the tube to unfold and so collect the excrement. When it is convenient the tube may be sealed by any of a variety of means, e.g.
heat sealing, twisting~ clamping etc. The tube is then cut and the part containing the waste matter disposed of.
Similar arrangements may be utilised for the collection of urine. Alternatively, the apparatus described may be adapted so that urine is led to the tubular member provided for th~e collection of faeces~ allowing the tube attached thereto to collect urine as well as faeces.
The apparatus of the invention may be incorporated into a garment.
It will be noted that the apparatus described above is not llmited to use in hospitals, but may be designed so that people who suffer from incontinence may wear it at virtually all times. For males, for example, there may be provided a pair of trousers, on the inside of one leg of which is stitched a plastic lined pocket, in which the tube may enter after collecting urine and/or faeces. Similar devices may also be used for females. The tube may be sealed and detached when desired. This is far cleaner and more convenient than devices in use at the present.
As a preferred feature of the invention, the tube is :Located in a cassette, which is easily fitted onto the annular member, thus providing for eaay replacement of tubes.

The invention will be further described by way of example, with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
Figure 1 shows an embodiment of the invention designed to collect faeces.
Figure 2 shows another embodiment of the invention for use with females, designed to collect both urine and faeces.
Figure 3 shows a further embodiment, designed to collect urlne only from females.
Figure 4 shows an embodiment for collection of urine from males.
Flgure S shows an alternative embodiment to that of Figure 1.
Referring to Figure 1 an annular member is indicated generally by the numeFal 2. At one end ls formed a funnel 4, conslsting of ribs ~oined by webs, whlch is inserted in an anal passage 6~ The funnel exerts a gentle pressure on the walls of the anal passage. At the exit of anal passage 6 are sphlncter muscles 8. Here the funnel 4 ls linked to the rest of the annular member 2 by a thin annular memb}ane 10. The membrane ls so designed that it does not inhiblt the movement caused by sphincter muscles 8.
On the member 2 is provided an annular flange 12, shaped to flt comfortably around the entrance of the anal passage 6.
An annular wall 14 is formed on the flange 12, providing a chamber 16 between wall 14 and the tubular portion 17 of the annular member 2.
The end 18 of annular member 2 is in the form of a lip, which holds a retaining ring 20 on the member 2.
A tube 22, folded concertina fashion to fit in the chamber 16, passes out of the chamber, between retaining ring 20 and the annular me~ber 2, and around the lip at the end 18. The tube is sealed as indicated at 24.
Faeces passes down the anal passage 6, as indicated by the ',.,~
0746~;~
arrows A, through the annular member 2, and into the tube 22. The retaining ring 20 is designed so that it frictionally retains the tube 22, with just sufficient force so that the tube is forced to extend by the pressure of the faeces as it collects in the tube.
A patient using the device described above may have a specially designed bed or wheelchair, so that the tube 22 passes through a hole in the bed or wheelchair to a receptacle underneath.
When it is convenient the tube may be sealed, and, if desired, detached and disposed of.
Sealing and detachment may be effected by a pair of heat-sealing scissors comprising two heating elements, one on each side of a standard pair of cutting elements. Thus the tube is automatically sealed at both sides of the cut when the tube is detached. Alterna-tively, the inside of the tube may be provided with spaced areas coated with pressure-sensitive adhesive, so that the tube may be sealed simply by squeezing the sides together. ~ne tube may be scored in these areas so that portions may be easily detached.
Figure 2 shows another embodiment of the invention, incorporated into a garment and designed to collect urine and faeces from a female. Some of the apparatus is similar to that shown in Figure 1, and like parts given like reference numerals.
The annular member 2 is fitted into a garment 26. The garment is preferably made of elasticated cotton or the like, with rubber or plastics material welded or welted to appropriate areas, where waste matter may come into contact with the garment, and designed so that urine from urine passage 28 is caused to flow along a channel 30 in the garment 26, into the annular member 2, through whlch it falls lnto tube 22. A small valve 32 may be formed over the channel so that no backflow will occur no matter what posltion the patient ls ln. An extension 34 may be formed in the garment 26 to fit over the entrance of the vagina 36, to ensure that no waste matter enters.
~ 74654 The apparatus is used in a similar way as the embodiment shown in Figure 1.
Figure 3 shows a similar arrangement, but used only for collecting urine from females. The extension 34 is formed of plastics material, and is hollow so that it may be inflated to a comfortable si~e by injecting for example glycerine from a syringe via passage 38 into the extension 34~ A suitable valve (not shown) is incorporated into the passage so that the extension is kept inflated when the syringe is removed. A member 40 extends over the opening of the urine passage 28 and is provided with a heart-type valve 42 to prevent backflow.
Figure 4 showns apparatus designed to collect urine from males, in which the annular member 2 is adapted to fit over a penis.
The garment 44 if provided with an annular rim 46 over which an open-ended sheath 48 1s fitted. The sheath 48 fits closely around the penis, thus preventing backflow and consequent chafing.
The chamber 16 is provided with a sloping wall 50 which acts to further restrain the tube 22 so as to ensure that the tube does not ; extend unduly due to movement of the user causing the tube to work free. For similar purposes, the tube is provided with thickened or pleated annular portions 52 at spaced intervals, so that it is dispensed in segments as the portions 52 are restricted by retaining ring 20.
Figure 5 shows an alternative embodiment to the apparatus of Figure 1- In this case, the annular member 2 is provided with a rim 54 which has means for attachment 56 (e.g. a screw thread, a projection or - recess, etc.) to a cassette 58, which has cooperating means for attachment 60.
The tube 22 is located in the cassette 58, and leads out of the cassette via an annular, restricting outlet 62. It will be appreciated that the tube ~ay be easily replaced, simply by detaching ' ~074654 cassette 58 from rim 54 and fitting a new cassette.
The funnel 4 is formed of hollow plastics material having a thickened end 64 and may be inflated to form a good fit on an axlal passage 6 by inJecting fluid, by means of syringe 66, into passage 68 which is provided with a suitable valve (not shown) to prevent deflation when the syringe is removed. The funnel 4 may be provided with means (not shown) such as narrower annular portions, to ensure that it flexes suitably so that it does not restrict movements causing changes of shape of the anal passage.
It will be noted that use of the apparatus in hospitals is particularly advantageous, since it allows measurements and anaylses of patients' waste matter to be carried out cleanly and efficiently.
However, the use of the apparatus of the invention for collecting human waste matter i5 also advantageous in many other situations, for example in space travel, etc.
The invention extends also to many other areas. It may be used for trapping any kind of animal excrement. It may be used for trapping animal sperm for experimentation or artificial insemination purposes.
