Insertion device for a diaphragm

A diaphragm dispensing apparatus comprising:

• an elongated hollow member having a chamber for longitudinally holding a diaphragm and one end of said member through which said diaphragm is dispensed;
• a diaphragm positioned within said chamber;
• a spermicidal agent in said chamber in contact with said diaphragm;
• a plunger means slidable within said hollow member dispensing said diaphragm through the dispensing end;
• and
• an indicia means on at least one of said plunger means and hollow member for indicating the proper orientation of said diaphragm for insertion.

A diaphragm dispensing apparatus comprising:

• an elongated hollow member having a chamber for longitudinally holding a diaphragm and an opening on one end of said member through which said diaphragm is dispensed;
• a diaphragm positioned within said chamber;
• a spermicidal agent in said chamber in contact with said diaphragm;
• a plunger means slideable within said hollow member at the other end of said member for dispensing said diaphragm through said opening;
• and
• a removable closure means for closing said opening.

A diaphragm dispensing apparatus comprising:

• an elongated hollow member having a chamber for longitudinally holding a diaphragm and an end of said member through which said diaphragm is dispensed and an end remote from the dispensing end;
• a diaphragm positioned within said chamber;
• a plunger means adapted to be slidably within said hollow member for dispensing said diaphragm through said dispensing end;
• said plunger comprises:
• a handle;
• a pusher member;
• and
• a stem connecting the handle to the pusher member;
• the stem approximately equals in length with the elongated hollow member and disposed proximate the outer surface of the hollow member;
• said handle and pusher are connected to said stem to enable the handle and stem to simultaneously register with the dispensing and remote ends of the elongated hollow member;
• and
• the adjacent surfaces of the stem and pusher are constructed to act as closures for the dispensing and remote ends of the elongated hollow member.
