US Patent 6981951 Device for receiving and controlling voided urine

Indicators (4) are provided on one side of an indicator carrier (5) for controlling urine which has been caught in a measuring cell (1). The indicators can be perceived through a window (3). The measuring cell (1) is provided with an inlet on the side opposite the window (3). The aim of the invention is to guide urine from the inlet (6) to the indicators 94). To this end, the inventive device has a fluid transport means (9), e.g., blotting paper, which can transport fluid by virtue of the capillarity thereof. A soaking material, e.g., a soaking cushion, can be arranged between the inlet (6) and the indicator carrier (5). Said cushion becomes soaked and locks the inlet (6) when catching urine.
