Abstract
Method and apparatus for collecting seminal fluid for artificial insemination is provided and wherein the apparatus has a flexible wall closed at one end and with a rim at the other open end movable in a reciprocating fashion back and forth with respect to the closed end wall. An inflatable sphincter member is located within the vagina adjacent the closed end and applies pressure to the penis during thrusting actions by the animal.
Claims14
An apparatus for collecting seminal fluids and the like, comprising:
- an outer housing member,
- a flexible elongate tubular member positioned at least partially within said housing member and having a closed end and a rim defining an open end opposite said closed end,
- vacuum regulator means for causing said rim to move from a first position to a second position toward said closed end of said tubular member,
- vacuum pump means in fluid communication with said vacuum regulator means,
- restoring means for returning said rim from said second position to said first position,
- a drain in said closed end of said tubular member, and
- semen collector means adapted for fluid communication with said drain for removing seminal fluids from said closed end of said tubular member, said semen collector means including a semen chamber, a piston slidable within said semen chamber, and valve means for selectively isolating said semen chamber from the atmosphere.

A massaging apparatus adapted for stimulating a male genital organ, comprising:
- an outer housing member,
- an outer flexible sheath positioned at least partially within said housing member and having a first movable end portion,
- an inner flexible sheath substantially enclosed within said outer sheath and having a second movable end portion,
- a rim connecting said first and second end portions and movable relative to said housing member for sliding engagement with said organ,
- power means for causing said rim to move from an extended position to a retracted position,
- restoring means for returning said rim from said retracted position to said extended position, and
- a flexible inflatable member disposed within said housing member and adapted for engagement with said organ and movable relative to said rim and said housing member.
