The invention concerns an outlet valve system for a collection bag for
urine from urine-incontinent or urostomy operated humans. Collection bags
for urine are well known and typically consist of plastic sheets which are
joined by welding along their peripheries to form a cavity between the
sheets in which the urine is collected. When out of bed the user normally
carry the bag by the lower part of the leg and in order to discharge urine
from the bag, the bag is supplied with an outlet valve system at its
lowermost part. The valve system comprises a base member which is secured
to the collection bag and a movable member which is sealingly fixed to the
base member; the base member has an open conduct leading into the cavity
of the collection bag and conducting liquid to the movable member. The
movable member has a discharge tube which is rotatably displaceable with
respect to the base member and which is rotated out of the plane defined
by the outer surface of the collection bag. The movable member has at
least one open position and at least one secured closed position where the
discharge tube is pointing upwards. In the open position is the discharge
tube rotated to a position situated between more than 90.degree. and less
than 180.degree. from upright vertical and here the discharge tube is
secured.
