The device is in the use position and, when the device is in place, the edges of the device are in the position of use, and when the device is in place, the edges of the device are in the position of use; side of the opening are arranged to extend obliquely upwards from the lower zone of the opening, on either side of the penis or scrotum, and the protection device is thus better held in place. Since the edges of the opening close against the skin in the region surrounding the penis, along the entire length of these edges, they are

  urine out of the device are effectively prevented.

  the collecting bag adapts itself to the shape of the body and the space between the legs. If the penis is of a normal size or greater than normal, the device is tightened by the edges of its opening, on the lower zone of this one, these edges being directed

  each obliquely upwards as indicated above.

  On the other hand, if the penis is small or retracted, the urine can be stopped by the part of the device that forms the front of the penis and extends upwards to the upper end of the penis. 'opening. Even if the penis is erected obliquely, the urine is stopped by the device and retained in it. The device according to the invention is intended above all to be used in the

  case of urine drop-by-drop.

  Internally, the protective device advantageously contains a lining of moisture-absorbing material, in particular a strong absorbent material of known type, which is dry, is present in a small volume and can then be arranged in relatively thin layers in the device but which , by absorbing urine, swells into a soft, easily deformable, jelly-like mass, this mass being able to adapt itself, virtually without resistance, to the available space between patient's legs. The moisture absorbing material may also contain another

  material of known type, such as a cellular pad.

  In either case, the material is advantageously surrounded by a nonwoven fabric envelope which prevents it from coming out of the edges of the opening of the device.

when this material is wet.

  The protective device or sheath, which is made of a flexible plastic film, is preferably folded inwards so as to form flaps on the edges of the opening, these flaps covering the edges of the lining absorbent so as to seal against the epidermis to pock

  the urine to escape through the edges of the opening.

  Tailored trousers are advantageously used to hold the protective device in place, whatever the conditions, or pants specifically designed to hold sanitary napkins in place.

  than. Externally, the protective device may further be provided with a coating capable of increasing its

  adhesion to the restraining pants.

  The invention is illustrated by the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 shows in elevation a device for

protection according to the invention.

  FIG. 2 is a sectional view along the line

2-2 of Figure 1.

  FIG. 3 shows in elevation the device of FIG. 1 in the partially open state, its folding inwards with a view to its adaptation to the body of a

  particular individual being indicated in dotted line.

  FIG. 4 is a view from the rear of the device of FIG. 3 in the open position and shows the general shape of the opening which can

modify as appropriate.

  As can be seen in FIGS. 1 and 2, the protective device 10 can be made of soft strips welded together and cut into pieces having the shapes

  represented: the lateral edges 11, 12, 13, 14 of the arrangement

  10 form a quadrilateral whose two opposite corners, 16 have obtuse angles and the other two corners

opposes are designated 17, 18.

  Once completed, the device 10 consists of two identical side walls 19, 20 which are connected together along three of the edges 11, 12 and 14 but which are independent of one another along the edge remaining 13 so as to constitute an opening 21

  whose edge is designated by reference 13.

  The edges 11, 13 are longer than the edges 12, 14 while being shorter than twice the length of these

edges 12, 14.

  As is apparent from FIG. 1, the protection device 10, beyond the opening 21, comprises a longitudinal extension which is inclined with respect to the edges of this opening. This results in a configuration such that one obtains below the opening 21 a

  pocket 25 c8ne-shaped or cornet. -

  Each of the side walls 19, 20 comprises an outer layer 22 of impermeable material, generally made of a plastic film, and a layer

  internal 23 of absorbent material vis-à-vis liquids.

  This inner layer 23 may be made of a strong absorbent material of known type but it may also be used for it a cellular lining or the like. Outside this absorbent layer, there is generally a nonwoven fabric wrapper or the like which surrounds the edges of the absorbent material with respect to moisture, to maintain it in place after have been monuillée, preventing it by

  consequently to exit the device.

  As indicated in FIG. 2, the absorbent layer 22 is suitably covered with a flap 24 along each of the edges 21a, 21b of the side walls 19, 20 which limit the opening 21, so as to pocket the liquid of

  escape through the edges of this absorbent layer.

  The flaps 24 thus pock the urine and the absorbent material to escape through the edges of the opening 21 The opening 21 does not need to extend over the entire length of the edge of the mouth 13 Indeed, part m this length can be equal to the angle of the obtuse-angled corner 15, as shown in FIG. 15, especially if there is a greater difference in diameter. o oten e audewsous de e co'n '5 as say: osi'ide orotbe ion. e-t .. it

  this is the case especially with a retracted penis.

  In this way, an improved tightening of the

  protective device under the penis or scrotum, at the same time that the lateral position of the device is

fixed in relation to the penis.

  Due to its special shape, the device according to the invention has a front wall which, in the use position, constitutes a screen 26 in front of the enlarged opening 21 (see FIG. 4), in the direction that deviates from the body. This wall rises in point towards the corner 17, the upper parts 21e, 21d of the edges

  21a, 21b from the opening up to this corner 17.

  The screen 26 stops the drops or jets of urine coming out of the penis, that these drops or jets sprout upwards, laterally forwards or downwards, the urine

  thus arr4tée being always brought into the pocket 25.

  The pocket 25 can be adapted comfortably in the space between the legs and, because of its pointed shape, it embarrasses well moirsson bearer that if its

  width was practically the same throughout its length.

  Once the disposatf fits on the penis, pants or panties are put to maintain the

device in place.

  At point & b view of manufacture, it is simpler and extremely economical to establish the device so that its side edges are all right but these edges can advantageously be arched, with rounded corners or truncated to further improve its adaptation

  and make it more comfortable to wear.

  Thus, as shown in FIG. 1, the upper corner 17 can be truncated along a line 17a and welded along this line so as to form an upper collecting pocket 17b, which further increases the safety of the protection, especially when the device 10 is placed on a retracted penis which is

  directed forward or upward.

  There is also interest in rounding corners 16 and 17 as indicated by dashed lines 16a and 18a (Figure 1).
