Because the seams 3,4 extend only partially to the extent of mouth zone 2 the boarders or hems of the inward folded mouth zone 2 are free, whereby their action corresponding the function of a backlash valve becomes possible and liquid flow is possible only to one direction. In the bag 1 according to the invention the boarders or hems 6 are folded as forced by the liquid inside the bag 1 in the way of the liquid duct 5 and close the same, which pre ⁇ vents outflow of the liquid from the bag 1.
- the mouth zone 2 of the bag 1 is seamed so that when the bag is in a collapsed state the space between the seams 3,4 at the open end of the mouth zone 2 is 50 - 100 mm, whereby by widening the mouth opening there is formed at the mouth zone an open ⁇ ing with a diameter of 30 - 75 mm for penis, exhaust mouth part of the gathering funnel or generally any feed pipe for liquid.
- the seams 3,4 converges downwards begin ⁇ ning from the open mouth opening of the mouth zone 2 so that there exist at an extension of about ' 60 - 100, preferably 80 mm, a strangulation zone, wherein space between the seams 3 and 4 is at its minimum, whereby when the bag 1 is in the collapsed state the space between the seams is about 15 - 40 mm, corresponding diameter od about 10 - 25 mm for the liquid duct 5.
- the seams 3,4 curve, preferably with a curve radius of 10 mm, apart from each other and directed after curvature slanting towards side edges of the bag 1 so that the inward the bag 1 folded boarder or hem 6 of the mouth zone 2 unseamed at an extent corresponding about one half of the diameter of the strangulation zone, however, unseamed preferably at an extent of at least 10 mm, being so as forced by the liquid free to turn for forming block of the liquid duct 5.
- breadth of the seams 3,4 is about 1 mm and that along the seams 3,4 the four-layered plastic is melted into one integrated unit.
- the seams 3,4 meet the side edges of the bag 2, which, however, is not necessary in respect to the function of the present invention but by means of the contents a satisfactorily auto-closing bag 1 is achieved even by the converging seams 3,4 ending at the strangulation zone.
- the seams 3,4 are directed apart from each other at least so that the termination ends of the seams are at the same vertical line as the first ends of the seams 3,4 defining the open mouth opening of the liquid duct 5.
- the bag device described above is preferably especially in hospital use, for women and/or for wheel chair patients meant to be used with gathering funnel models shown in figures 3 and 4 as connected around the mouth of the outflow opening thereof.
- gathering funnels shown in figures 3 and 4 can be mentioned, that they can be hold steadily in hand, that they may belong to personal home or traveling equipments of each human being, that they are suitable for both men and women and also for wheel chair or bed patients regardless of sex, that they are designed anatomically especially considering female users, that they can be used in nearly all positions - i.e. while lying in bed, standing, kneeling, squatting, sitting on the edge of a bed, that they can be disposable or meant for multiple use.
- under tray 1 are made of plastic based material most preferably by mould casting, whereby by enlarging the mould for, in the figure, the uppermost under tray, i.e. the basic pattern, with sui ⁇ table extensions it is possible to produce also the wheel chair pattern and the bed pattern.
- the casting mould for the wheel chair pattern is achieved so that the casting mould of the basic pattern is enlarged with a first mould extension piece A in order to increase length of the under tray rear part extending into the leg interstice towards the posterior and with a second mould extension part B in order to increase the curvature of upper end of the under tray front part curving upwards onto the stomach to correspond the increasing curvature of the bottom stomach caused of sit-down position.
- the bed pattern is achieved so that the basic pattern is enlarged besides the above mentioned first and second extension parts a third mould extension part C in order to further increase length of the under tray rear part extending into leg interstice towards the posterior and preferably at the same to accomplish a disc-like support leg supporting against the bed mattress for preventing the under tray of pressing itself under weight of patient into the mattress.
- the under trays illustrated in the figure include a hollow object 12 having an open mouth opening 14 at its more extent upper part, from which a mantle wall of the hollow object 12 contracts defining inside thereof a con ⁇ tracting receipt space 13 for urine.
