COMPLETE SPECIFICATION STANDARD PATENT IV MIN I CONDOM Inv e ntio n tle The following statement is a full description of this Invention, including the best method of performing It known to me,- IN. CI1-l MINI CONDOM The present invention relates to birth control devices in l he nature of condoms and in particular to a condom having enhanced characteristics as to v To prevent leakage of sperm.

Allowing to achieve maximum pleasure to both male and female yet both still protected which will be the only way to attract greater proportion to use condoms through the new Mini Condom Condoms are traditionally shaped so as to conform to the shape of the penis and fit snugly thereabout with the exception of a small void area provided in front of the urethra in order to accommodate the 2 5 millilitres of fluid usually produced upon ejaculation.

i t 3 Such small void area or sac however does not always *adequately contain the fluid produced and such fluid can work its way down the condom and leak from the base of the condom thereby permitting the sperm to enter the vagina.

V.,1 I -3 It is consequently an object of the present invention a To provide a condom with more positive seal in order to prevent leakage of sperm.

Not to lose sexual pleasure which turned many people of all ages from using condoms due to the fact the old full length condom designed to cover all the penis preventing sexual stimulation and pleasure to both male and female.

The new Mini Condom FIG. 1 (A B designed to cover only the head of the penis.

According to the present invention there is provided a condom having a relatively heavily elasticised annular portion adapted to lie around the base of the head of the penis and j form a seal at such position so as to prevent semen from I progressing down the penis beyond the said seal.

Many of the sensative nerve ending which give pleasure during intercourse are located down the shaft of the penis

I

Sand of course a conventional condom shields these nerve endings from much of the pleasurable sensations experienced during intercourse by both partners.

n. I r It is additionally thought that the transmission Of diseases such as aids occur primarily due to ejaculated fluids.

Indeed during withdrawal of the male penis from the vagina a vacuum is set up where by fluids are actually sucked into the male urethras Gi~ven the abovementioned primary method of transmission of diseases fr~am male to female and vice versa it can be seen that it is unnecessary for the condom to extend down past the base of the head of the penis in order to prevent transmission of' diseases provided of course 'that an adequate seal is present at the base of the head of the penis. Accordingly, in its most advanced form a condom in accordance with the present invention may be configured as depicted in FIG. 1 and *FIG. 2 hereof. The condom fabricated from a conventional rutbberised material such as latex, is sized so as to fit a round the head 5 of the penis with only a small skirt 9 A extending beneath the relatively heavily elasticised area 3 on the condom such elasticised area 3 corresponding to the *base of the head of the penis when the condom is in place upon an erect penis. The conventional sac 7 is still provided in order to accommodate ejaculated fluid.

In order to make absolutely sure that the condom effects a positive seal to prevent leakage of ejaculated fluid a fecond elasticised annular seal 10 is provided adjacent the base 11 of the skirt. This elasticised seal being adapted to fit snugly about the relevant portion of the penis as depicted in FIG. 2. To yet further ensure the integrity of the seal of this condom the skirt area may be provided with an adhesive so that the area between elasticised portions 3 and 10 is additionally bonded to the skin of the penis during the act of intercourse. A number of known adhesives may be appropriate including that of the type currently used in connection with other articles intended to adhere to human skin such as Band Aids TM I As will be observed from FIG. 1 the adhesive on the skirt may be protected prior to usage by the provision of tear off paper strips 12 as is in the case with Band Aids TM The sac also contains a solidifying agent adapted I to cause the ejaculated fluid to gel or solidify thereby t C -immobilising the sperm thereby preventing exit of such fluid ,i from the sac or condom. Such solidifying agent may addition ally coat the other internal surfaces of the condom apart from sac 7 The sac and condom may additionally of course /NT (4 i s i -6contain spermicides of a conventional formulation.

It is further envisaged that provision of a secondary skirt below the second elasticised portion 10 at the base of the skirt 9 may be provided in order to assist removal of the condom. This secondary skirt 13 would simply form a convenient portion of the condom which the user may grasp in order to peel the condom from the penis.

It will be appreciated that a Mini Condom in accordance with the present invention as described with reference to the embodiment depicted in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 hereof would enhance the pleasurable sensations experienced by the male during intercourse and may well therefore result in increased use of condoms.

4 4 4 o t Tr 4 7 9- -7- The seals and solidifying agents described with reference to preferred embodiment of the present invention may also be used in conjunction with conventional condoms FIG.3 anid it will be appreciated that the solidifying agent in particular would greatly reduce the incidence of bodily contact b~y all concerned parties with ejaculated fluid both during intercourse and after intercourse during tbVe handling and disposal of the condom.

I t E .t t t, t t Accordin-g to the embodiment of FIG. 3 there is provided a conventional condom 1 depicted in place upon an erect penis 2. The condom however differs from conventional condoms in that it is provided with an integral rubber band 3 adapted to form a seal about the base 4 of the head of the penis. Naturally the rubber band 3 should be dimentioned so that a snug fit, adequate to form a seal, is achieved about the base of the head of the penis without, the rubber band being so tight as to be painfully constrictive, It will be observed from FIG. 3 that semen ejaculated from the urethra 6 and into sac 7 could find its way due to continued motion of the penis or otherwise down the internal surfaces of the condom adjacent the head of the penis but would not be able to pass further down the penis towards the open end of the condom than the base of the penis due to the seal formed by integral rubber band 3 It will be appreciated that the improvements to condoms Iabove described are not restricted to the embodiments above described.
