Abstract: A urine collector for use by females includes a funnel-like bag having a small end removably sealed to the neck of a specimen collector and a large end connected to the resilient legs of a tong-like member. One end of the legs are connected together so as to prevent their movement apart and the other ends of the legs are pivoted together. Handles are connected to the other ends of the legs and when moved in opposite directions tend to spread the legs which bow away from each other due to their resilience and the interconnection of the legs at the one end. After the legs and bag in unstressed condition have been positioned between the user's labia and beneath the urethra the handles are operated to bow the legs and push the labia clear of the stream. The handles are spaced from the legs of the tong-like member so that the user's hands are free of splashing and the entire stream flows into the container untainted by bacteria normally residing on the labia.

Abstract: An aid for use by women in discharge of bodily wastes while standing erect. The aid includes tongs having legs engageable with seams at the open end of a flexible waste receiving bag. The legs are pivoted together at their inner ends and each leg has fixed thereto a handle with the leg and handle of each tong part being on the same side of the pivot whereby movement of the handles towards each other moves the legs apart and vice versa, the handles being urged apart by a spring. The size of the bag opening can be adjusted by the tongs to minimize accidents. One of the legs carries an outwardly open channel for engaging a leg opening of panties to move the panties clear of the relevant region as the bag is opened for use. The invention includes structure for the mounting of either a urine bag or a defecation bag.
