Abstract
The present invention relates to mechanical barrier condom prophylactic and contraceptive devices of tubular construction that have a closed end and an open end. The condom device is a continuous sheath that, when in place over the male genitalia, covers, and conforms to the general shape of, the entire erect penis, including the base of the penis shaft, and the entire scrotum.
Claims22
A prophylactic and contraceptive condom device, comprising:
- a single and continuous sheath of thin walled tubular construction having a closed first end and an open second end, said sheath shaped such that, when the device is in place over the male genitalia, the sheath covers, conforms to and fits the entire erect penis, including the base of the penis shaft, and the entire scrotum, and is retained adjacent the open second end by the posterior of the scrotum;
- a ring of thicker material than the continuous sheath, bonded to said continuous sheath at such a position, that, when the device is in place over the male genitalia, said ring is substantially concentric with the penis shaft and is positioned near the base of the penis shaft, said ring partitioning said continuous sheath into a penis covering segment and a scrotum covering segment;
- and
- a portion of the penis covering segment being wound in combination with a portion of the scrotum covering segment about the ring into a toroidally shaped winding of more than 360 degrees, such that said ring is located at the core of said toroidally shaped winding and said penis covering segment portion and said scrotum covering segment portion are interleaved as alternate layers within said toroidally shaped winding.

A method of achieving venereal disease prophylaxis and contraception comprising the steps of:
- providing, in combination:
- a single and continuous sheath of thin walled tubular construction having a closed first end and an open second end, said sheath shaped such that, when the sheath is in place over the male genitalia, the sheath covers, conforms to and fits the entire erect penis, including the base of the penis shaft, and the entire scrotum, and is retained adjacent the open second end by the posterior of the scrotum;
- a ring of thicker material than the continuous sheath, bonded to said continuous sheath at such a position, that, when the sheath and the ring are in place over the male genitalia, said ring is substantially concentric with the penis shaft and is positioned near the base of the penis shaft, said ring partitioning said continuous sheath into a penis covering segment and a scrotum covering segment;
- and
- a portion of the penis covering segment being wound in combination with a portion of the scrotum covering segment about the ring into a toroidally shaped winding of more than 360 degrees, such that said ring is located at the core of said toroidally shaped winding and said penis covering segment portion and said scrotum covering segment portion are interleaved as alternate layers within said toroidally shaped winding;
- and
- positioning said continuous sheath over the male genitalia and unwinding at least a portion of the toroidally shaped winding to completely cover the entire erect penis, including the base of the penis shaft and the entire scrotum.
