Disposable vomiting bag

Claim 2

A disposable vomiting bag comprising: a rigid support portion having an inlet opening and a hand grip; a receiving bag portion supported from the support portion in receiving relation to the inlet opening and having a closed end; and an inner partition portion extending into the inside of the receiving bag portion and narrowing toward the closed end to provide a funnel-like channel terminating in an inner opening of a size substantially smaller than said inlet opening, said partition portion having a closure member operatively associated with said inner opening and manipulated by closing forces applied at an outer side of the bag portion between the inlet opening and the closed end to selectively close off said inner opening to prevent the emission of odors from the receiving bag portion after use said closure member having a portion extending through a side of the receiving bag portion.

Claim 3

A disposable vomiting bag as set forth in claim 1 wherein said closure member is in the form of a tie wire surrounding said partition portion at the inner opening that seals off the inlet opening from the inside of the bag portion when the end portions are twisted together.

Claim 4

A disposable vomiting bag as set forth in claim 1 wherein said support portion is rigid and said receiving bag portion is flexible.

Claim 5

A disposable vomiting bag comprising: a rigid support portion having an inlet opening, a pair of opposed hand grips and an annular upstanding rib adjacent the inlet opening adapted to be placed against the cheek of the user to prevent spillage, a receiving bag portion supported by the support portion in receiving relation to said inlet opening, and an inner partition portion extending into the receiving bag portion to provide a funnel-like channel terminating in an inner opening of a size substantially smaller than the inlet opening, said partition portion having a closure member operably associated therewith to close off the inside of the receiving bag portion from the inlet opening to prevent the emission of odors from said receiving bag portion.

Claim 6

A disposable vomiting bag comprising: a rigid support portion having an inlet opening, a pair of opposed hand grips and an annular upstanding rib adjacent the inlet opening adapted to be placed against the cheek of the user to prevent spillage, a receiving bag portion supported by the support portion in receiving relation to said inlet opening, and an inner partition portion extending into the receiving bag portion to provide a funnel-like channel terminating in an inner opening of a size substantially smaller than the inlet opening, said partition portion having a closure member operably associated therewith to close off the inside of the receiving bag portion from the inlet opening to prevent the emission of odors from said receiving bag portion.

Claim 7

A disposable vomiting bag as set forth in claim 4 wherein said support portion with hand grips and rib is made as a unit of a rigid molded plastic material.

Claim 8

A disposable vomiting bag as set forth in claim 4 wherein said receiving bag portion and said inner partition portion are made of a flexible, elastomeric film material.

Claim 9

A disposable vomiting bag as set forth in claim 4 wherein said bag portion is made of a tubular stock material with volume graduations and means to deodorize the interior thereof.

Claim 10

A disposable vomiting bag as set forth in claim 4 wherein said partition portion is downwardly convergent and has opposed side edges fastened to the inside oF the bag portion to form a funnel-like channel with a flexible inner discharge opening.

Claim 11

A disposable vomiting bag comprising: a rigid support portion made of a molded plastic material having a central inlet opening, a pair of diametrically opposed outwardly projecting hand grips and an annular cheek-engaging upstanding rib projecting upwardly from the support portion adjacent the inlet opening, said rib being rounded along the edge to fit the contour of the cheek of the user against which it is placed and a flange portion, a flexible receiving bag portion made of an elastomeric film tubular stock material closed at the bottom and leaving an open end positioned on the flange portion and depending from said support portion, a ring holding the bag on the flange portion, and an inner flexible partition portion made of an elastomeric film material attached to and depending from the flange portion inside said receiving bag portion, said partition portion being generally V-shaped and fastened along the side edges to the bag portion to provide a part of a funnel-like channel forming a flexible inner discharge opening offset from the inlet opening and of a substantially smaller size than said inlet opening, said partition portion forming a pair of side conduits and having a tie wire, said tie wire extending through the conduits and along the back of the partition portion and having end portions extending through a grommet in an end of each of the conduits to a point outside the bag portion adapted to close off said inner discharge opening and seal the inside of the receiving bag portion upon the twisting of the end portions thereof together.

Claim 12

A disposable vomiting bag comprising: a rigid support portion made of a molded plastic material having a central inlet opening, a pair of diametrically opposed outwardly projecting hand grips and an annular cheek-engaging upstanding rib projecting upwardly from the support portion adjacent the inlet opening, said rib being rounded along the edge to fit the contour of the cheek of the user against which it is placed and a flange portion, a flexible receiving bag portion made of an elastomeric film tubular stock material closed at the bottom and leaving an open end positioned on the flange portion and depending from said support portion, a ring holding the bag on the flange portion, and an inner flexible partition portion made of an elastomeric film material attached to and depending from the flange portion inside said receiving bag portion, said partition portion being generally V-shaped and fastened along the side edges to the bag portion to provide a part of a funnel-like channel forming a flexible inner discharge opening offset from the inlet opening and of a substantially smaller size than said inlet opening, said partition portion forming a pair of side conduits and having a tie wire, said tie wire extending through the conduits and along the back of the partition portion and having end portions extending through a grommet in an end of each of the conduits to a point outside the bag portion adapted to close off said inner discharge opening and seal the inside of the receiving bag portion upon the twisting of the end portions thereof together.
