Abstract
A suction type urinating aid comprises a urine transport tube connected at one end through a urine detecting cylinder with a urine receiver provided with an air suction hole and a urine suction opening to be applied to a urinating region, and connected, at the other end, with a urine tank. A suction tube communicating to a vacuum device is connected to the upper part of the urine tank. The urine detecting cylinder is composed of a pair of electrodes placed at an interval inside an electrically insulating cylinder. Wires connected to the respective electrodes are connected to a control device of the vacuum device, so that when urine exists in the urine detecting cylinder, electric current flowing through the urine between the electrodes may be detected by the control device, to start the vacuum device by the control device.
