Abstract
A condom, container and applicator for a condom, in which the condom is provided in a longitudinally expandable cup having a peel-off lid. The cup is typically formed of plastic material. The side wall of the container is expandable, and can include accordion-like pleats to allow for longitudinal expansion of the cup. The condom is placed in the cup such that it can be directly applied to the penis while still in the cup, and the cup used as an applicator to unroll the condom over at least the head of the penis by expanding the side wall of the cup. The disclosure also relates to a dispenser for storing and dispensing the condom containers.
Claims17
A condom package comprising:
- a combined container and applicator including a longitudinally expandable side wall, an expandable closed end wall formed of an expandable material, and an open end including a lip, the longitudinally expandable side wall being firmer than the expandable closed end wall;
- a peel away lid attached to the open end thereof;
- and
- a condom provided in the combined container and applicator and separate from the combined container and applicator such that the condom is configured to be directly applied to a penis by extending the penis through the open end and into the combined container and applicator while the condom is still in the combined container and applicator and is configured to be rolled onto the penis by movement of the open end of the combined container and applicator down the shaft of the penis, thereby increasing a height and interior volume of the combined container and applicator by longitudinally expanding the longitudinally expandable side wall and expanding the expandable closed end wall resulting in an increase in an area within the combined container and applicator along the expandable closed end wall and unrolling the condom, the combined container and applicator then being removable from the condom.

A condom package comprising:
- a combined container and applicator having a base having an open end and an expandable interior volume having a longitudinally expandable side wall and an expandable closed end wall formed of an expandable material or a material in a folded or crinkled configuration, the longitudinally expandable side wall being firmer than the expandable closed end wall;
- a flexible seal closing the open end of the base, wherein the flexible seal is formed of a flat, flexible material sealed around the longitudinally expandable side wall of the base with adhesive;
- and
- a condom separately provided in the base of the combined container and applicator such that the condom is configured to be directly applied to a penis by extending the penis through the open end and into the base while the condom is still in the base after the flexible seal has been peeled at least partially back, and which is configured to be rolled onto the penis by expanding the longitudinally expandable side wall and expanding the expandable closed end wall such that an area within the base along the expandable closed end wall increases, thereby increasing a height and the expandable interior volume of the base and unrolling the condom contained within the base as the condom is rolled onto the penis extending into the interior volume.

A condom dispenser comprising:
- a dispenser body;
- at least two condom packages removably provided in the dispenser body including:
- a container/applicator having a longitudinally expandable side wall, a closed end wall and an open end;
- and
- a peel away lid attached to the open end of the container/applicator, wherein the peel away lid includes a rigid tab configured to be grasped by a user to peel the peel away lid from the open end of the container/applicator, wherein the rigid tab includes a latch comprising an upper layer and a lower layer of rigid material such that the latch is wrappable around an outer edge of a lip on the open end of the container/applicator to position the upper layer above the lip along an upper surface thereof and the lower layer underneath the lip along a lower, underside, surface thereof to hook the lip between the upper layer and lower layer of the latch to reclose the peel away lid after use;
- a condom provided within an interior volume of each container/applicator and separate from the container/applicator such that the condom is configured to be directly applied to a penis while still in the container/applicator and is configured to be rolled onto the penis by expanding a height and the interior volume of the container/applicator.
