Definitions

  • the present invention relates to means applicable by the male and having -a mechanic, antiseptic and orthogenetic protective Vandpreventive action,v and toja method of producing such means.
  • Said element may be formed so as to entirely or partly cover the glans penis.
  • Such a contraceptive means is effective in safeguarding against infections diseases transferable by sexual organs vand can wholly or partly replace the customary therapeutic means to be introduced'directly into the vagina. Owing to its properties and its advantages referred to above, such an element eifectivelyiits inthe s cope of social and hygienic progress. f
  • FIGURE 1 is a perspective View of the kcontraceptive means according to the invention.
  • FIGURES 2 and 3' are perspective -views of further ernbodiments
  • FIGURE 7 shows a section through a further embodiment of the invention.
  • FIGURE 4 is'an end View of' an additional embodiment
  • the contraceptive means according to the invention has the shape of a cap conforming to the glans penis.
  • the cap has a wall thickness dependent on the composition of the material and consists of a gelatine substance which in addition may also contain medicaments.
  • the cap 1 is elastic and due to the body heat melts within the vagina; according to FIGURE 1 the inner end of the cap wall is provided with a knurled marginal portion 2 which contributes to an improved adhesion of the cap on the glans penis.
  • the cap -5 is provided at its closed end in the interior of the wall with a centrally arranged cavity 6, serving for the reception of medicamen-ts or additives which thus are localized at 'a predetermined point instead of being dispersed in ythe entire gelatine mass. Even though the entire gelatine massY contains already medicaments or spermicides, an additional quantity thereof may also be contained in the cavity 6.
  • the cavity 6 communicates with the outside by meansof .two ducts 8.
  • the contraceptive means according to FIGURE 4 has a more hemispherical shape so that the entire glans penis is not covered, whereby a more universal utilization is possible.
  • the required adhesion to the glans penis is in this case obtained by applying an adhesive on the internal surface of the cap.
  • the cap thus formed affords the advantage that itl can also be introduced into .the vagina on a finger for therapeutic purposes by the female herself. Thereby the possibility is practically eliminated of contaminating and injuring the vagina, resulting into subsequentinfection.
  • the wall 10l of the capv 9 is thinner, while the wall thickness is greater at 11.
  • the middle portion 12 of the interior of the cap is covered with an adhesive, so that the cap is in fixed position at least while introducing it into the vagina.
  • the elasticity of the cap material results in that the cap closely iits the particular organs without being damaged and that the introduction of the cap into the vagina is brought about in a painless and natural manner.
  • the internal surface of the cap is provided in the middle with a round and plane bulge 14 from where three Hat ribs 15 extend radially until the edge of the cap. These ribs 15 act to reduce the adherence to the lateral parts of the cap, so that the cap in the vagina comes olif easier from the glans penis.
  • a round and plane bulge 16 is provided on the internal side of the cap in the middle thereof.
  • a recess 17 is arranged which, on the one hand, protects the os uteri since it conforms to its shape, and which, on .the other hand, Ieduces the weight of the cap without impairing the strength thereof.
  • gelatine is melted in glycerine in a container placed in Water-bath. In this molten mixture 2-4% by wt. of Vaseline. of pharmaceutical grade are incorporated. This mass is thoroughly mixed while producing vortices.
  • phenyl mercury nitrate and hydroxyquinoline sulphate or another disinfectant are mixed and diluted with a small amount of glycerine.
  • the whole mass is then thoroughly mixed, in order to render Y Y p o Y ,n the suspension homogeneous.
  • the homogeneous suspension is then added to the molten mixture while being V.continuously stirred. With further -continuous agitation the still Warm mass is cast in moulds preliminarily coated with Vaseline oil and cooled. l After the mass has set the articles are removed from the mould and, if desired, are
