Abstract

A coupling device for a urinal including a urine collection bag and a flexible tube connected to a user's catheter. A quick release coupling readily connects and disconnects the flexible tube to the urine collection bag to provide a fluid passageway upon connection. The coupling closes both the tube opening and the bag opening upon disconnection to prevent fluid from spilling out and to avoid contaminants from entering the flexible tube.
