Abstract
A condom applicator (10) is disclosed which comprises a base (12) with a split line (18) across it and two flaps (14) which are connected by flimsy hinges to the base (12). Tubs (16) protrude from the flap (14). The base (12) includes two generally parallel walls (24, 28) and a base (26) which bound a trough (22). The trough receives the hem ring of a condom. There is an opening in the base which is encircled by the inner wall (24). When the flaps (14) are folded over, areas (44) of the flaps (14) cover the trough leaving a gap (G) between the wall (24) and the area (44). The tubs (16) span across said opening. The teat of the condom lies across the opening.
Claims16
A condom applicator which comprises:
- a base comprising
- at least two separable parts, each part having a section of a trough wherein the trough sections of said at least two separable parts together define an upwardly open trough with an open top for receiving a hem ring of a condom, said trough having an inner circumferentially extending wall and an outer circumferentially extending wall, and
- at least two flaps having areas which cover respective portions of said open top of said trough, each area of each said flap having an inner edge close to said inner circumferentially extending wall of said part and hence providing a circumferentially extending gap between said inner circumferentially extending wall of said part and said inner edge of said at least two flaps such that after said at least two separable parts are separated in use the condom unrolls from the hem ring and feeds through the circumferentially extending gap.
