Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2007/111001
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
[PROBLEMS] In conventional devices for measuring a urine flow rate, a portion for receiving urine can not be kept clean. Also, conventional gravimetric-type devices for measuring a urine flow rate has no structure for fixing together a urine receiving container and a measurement section, and portable devices of such a type are not available. [MEANS FOR SOLVING PROBLEMS] A device for measuring a urine flow rate has a container (10) for receiving urine and also has a urine quantity measurement device (20) for measuring the weight of the urine received in the container. The urine quantity measurement device (20) has a placement base (21) that is the base where the container (10) is placed, a measurement section (23) for measuring multiple times at predetermined time intervals the weight of the container (10) placed on the placement base (21), and an output section (24) for outputting the result of the measurement by the measurement section (23). At least a bottom section (13) of the container (10) and a placement surface of the placement base (21) have fixation structures for removably fixing the container (10) on the placement base (21).
