Abstract

A combination urine meter and drainage receptacle including a liquid meter of semi-rigid transparent material and a flexible liquid drainage receptacle. The meter and drainage receptacle are connected together at the upper portions thereof by a semi-rigid tubular assembly having a flow conduit therethrough of relatively large diameter and short longitudinal length. Drainage of liquid from the meter to the receptacle can be simply and effectively accomplished by tilting the meter with respect to the flexible receptacle from a vertical hanging position to a drainage position. When so tilted, the drainage bag will retain its substantially vertical hanging position to insure a positive drainage flow between the two containers.
