SANITARY COVERING Filed Dec. 15, 1951 INVENTOR. JOSEPH GHUSN V MWX ATTORNEY Patented May 18, 1 954 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE 2 Claims. 1
This invention relates to sanitary coverings and in particular relates to sanitary coverings for use in connection with the excretory organs of a human being.
It is a well-known fact in personal hygienics that many males are discomforted by the involuntary discharge of urine and semen from their excretory organs. In the case of an involuntary discharge of urine, the result, in addition to being embarrassing, is harmful to the clothing worn by the person so affected, in that the acid nature of the urine causes the formation of a soiled spot on the clothing, which is not removable from the garment by ordinary cleaning means. In cases involving the involuntary discharge of semen, the actual emission does not act upon the clothing in a destructive manner but rather renders the same uncomfortable to wear because of the physical characteristics of the semen itself.
Accordingly, it is one object of this invention to provide a sanitary covering, receivable over the excretory organ of a human being, to prevent soiling of clothing adjacent the excretory organ.
It is a further object of this invention to provide a sanitary covering for the excretory gland which will be composed of absorbent and moisture-repellent material.
It is a still further object of this invention to provide a sanitary covering having means thereon for retaining the same on the excretory gland.
Other objects of the invention will become apparent upon an examination of the accompanying drawings, taken in the light of the following brief specification.
Of the drawings:
Figure 1 is a perspective view of the invention.
Figure 2 is a perspective view of a modification of the invention.
Figure 3 is a perspective illustration of a still further modified form of the invention.
Referring now to the drawings, and in particular to Figure 1 thereof, there is provided a rectangular sheet of two-ply foldable material, generally indicated as Ill, and including a layer H of soft gauze-like absorbent material for contact with the skin of the excretory organ and a layer l2 of moisture-repellent material secured thereto for presentation exteriorly of the excretory organ.
For the purpose of retaining the above-described sanitary covering in place on the excretory organ, elastic means l3 may be applied against opposite side portions of said rectangular sheet, thereby effectuating retention of said sheet on said excretory organ.
In use of the improved sanitary covering just described, on the excretory organ of an adult male, for example, the elastic means l3 thereon may be expanded and the sheet material Ill positioned around the excretory organ. Release of the elastic means I3 will then retain the sanitary covering in surrounding relationship to said excretory organ. Removal of the sanitary covering is effectuated by mere expansion of the elastic means l3, coupled with removal by the person using the sanitary covering.
While the above-described sanitary covering may be satisfactorily employed in a majority of cases, it is manifest that the shape of the sheet material may be modified in large-scale production without departing from the spirit of this invention. For example, in the modified form of the invention shown in Figure 2, a sheet 20 of similar two-ply foldable material, including an exteriorly-presented layer 22 of moisture-repellent material and a layer of soft gauze-like material 2! for contact with the skin of the excretory organ could be provided with an integral flap extension 24 thereon projecting longitudinally from one end portion of the sheet 29 thereof, and being designed to have the extreme end portion thereof retained by said elastic means 23 when the same is used for the purposes described. For example, in use of this improved form of the invention, the sanitary covering 20 may be positioned around the excretory organ as previously described, at which point the integral flap extension 24 may be folded around the end portion of the excretory organ (not shown) and then positioned between the skin of the excretory organ and the elastic means 23, thereby retaining the flap 24 in covering relationship with the excretory organ.
It is also possible to vary the composition of the sheet material without deviating from the scope of this invention. In production, for example, the sanitary covering could be made of a low-priced substitute single sheet of gauze-like absorbent material, while in cases of severe difficulty with the urinary system, such as enuresis, the sanitary covering may be made exclusively of Water-repellent material.
Variation is also possible with regard to the means employed to hold the sanitary covering in place on the excretory organ. For example, in Figure 3 the exteriorly-presented sheet 3| of the sanitary covering 30 may have a portion 3la thereof coated with an adhesive substance and designed for engagement with a correspondingly coated portion 32a of the interiorly-presented sheet 32. In this manner, when the sanitary covering 30 is wrapped around the excretory organ, an adhesive bond will be effected between the coated portions SM, and 32a, thereby retaining the sanitary covering in place on the excretory organ.
Other modifications of the invention may be resorted to" without deviating from the spirit thereof or the scope of the appended claims.
What is claimed is:
1. A sanitary covering of the character de--- cluding a layer of absorbentgauze like material;,
and a layer of moisture repellent material" secured thereto; and elastic means securedf-to-and interconnecting the opposed longitudinal edge portions of said sheet, whereby said sheet may be positioned in surrounding relationship to the excretory organ of a human being.
2. A device as set forth in claim 1 further characterized by the provision of a longitudinal tab member extending integrally from said sheet.
