Abstract
Abstract An inconspicuous urine collection shield for fitting underneath and around the sides of an upholstered or cushioned seat of a chair. When the chair is occupied by a person who has lost normal bladder control, the urine can run down any or all four sides of the chair seat and collect in the portion of the shield which fits underneath the seat. Suitable fastening means are provided for removably securing the shield in place so that it can be partially removed for draining or completely removed for cleaning purposes. If desired the shield may be provided with a tubular attachment for connection to an indwelling catheter. A simple drain tube may be attached to the shield so that urine collected therein may be drained from time to time without releasing and lowering any portion of the shield.
