Abstract
A portable male urinal has a hollow urinal body with an inlet in communication with a reservoir. The urinal body has a flat stabilizer on the bottom of the reservoir having a greater width than the width of the adjacent urinal body and structured to underlie the legs of a male patient lying on his back. The stabilizer base preferably has a generally flat undersurface and a pair of spaced urinal body engaging walls projecting upwardly therefrom. The stabilizer base preferably has an undersurface which contains friction enhancing material. The stabilizer may have a top wall connecting the sidewalls and an end wall. A handle may be provided on the stabilizer to facilitate removal of the stabilizer from the urinal. In one embodiment, the stabilizer is secured to the urinal by friction. In another embodiment mechanical securement above and beyond frictional retention is provided. A drainage outlet may be provided with the reservoir floor sloping toward the same to facilitate gravity flow of urine to the outlet for discharge.
