This invention relates to a compact, fully portable processing system for collection, sterilization, deodorization and eventual disposal of urine. The system is comprised of several detachable components which include male and female urine receptacles, an electric motor and fan assembly or any other suction source for providing the forced air flow required for urine entrainment; and a liquid collection bottle or reservoir. Optional but desirable features may include a gas/liquid separation or demisting element and a deodorizing filter. The system is self contained and readily disassembled for easy cleaning. It is readily adapted for home, hospital, and automobile usage. This invention has utility wherever rest room facilities are not conveniently available or where individuals are bedridden or immobilized.

[ I claim:] [1.] Apparatus for the collection and eventual disposal of urine from the human body, comprising:a. a concave urine collector having an elliptical outer rim with a sealing surface defining an upper end and a lower end and adapted for vertical orientation in use with the upper end above the lower end, the rim contacting the human body, said elliptical outer rim including a major axis and a minor axis, said urine collector including:i. one or more orifices adjacent the sealing surface where at least one of the orifices is a lower orifice located at the lower end of the collector to admit entrainment air, said at least one lower orifice is generally aligned with the major axis of the elliptical outer rim; andii. an effluent channel leading away from the collector intermediate the upper end and the lower end;b. a flexible connection attached at one end to said urine collector effluent channel and including a free end leading away from the effluent channel, and operatively attached to a urine storage chamber;c. said urine storage chamber adapted to separate entrainment air and urine and to contain the urine; andd. an entrainment air fan adapted to entrain ambient air through said one or more orifices and said collector so as to transport urine to said urine storage chamber.
