Abstract

The 'Mini Condom' device is designed to cover only the head of the penis, it comprises of a condom having two relatively heavily elasticised annular bands, the first elasticised band to lie around the base of the head of the penis, to be followed by a skirt of approximately one centimetre and the second elasticised band to lie approximately one centimetre below the first band and approximately half centimetre above the end of the condom, these two elasticised bands in such positions are such as to provide more positive seal and prevent semen progressing down the penis beyond said seals. A conventional condom is also provided with an integral elasticised annular rubber band adapted to form a seal around the base of the head of the penis with such enclosed sac to be with or without such solidifying agent adapted to cause the ejaculated fluid to gel and/or solidify thereby immobilising the sperm.

Description

CONDOM

The present invention relates to birth control devices in

the nature of condoms and in particular to a condom having

enhanced characteristics as to t -

_ 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.

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.

SUBSTITUTE SHEET It is consequently an object of the present invention i -

__ 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

form a ^M seal " at such position so as to prevent semen from

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

and of course a conventional condom shields these nerve

endings from much of the pleasurable sensations experienced

during intercourse by both partners.

SUBSTITUTE SHEET 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 urethra_*

Given the abovementioned primary method of transmission

of diseases from 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

rubberised material such as latex,is sized so as to fit

around the head 5 of the penis with only a small skirt 9

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.

SUBSTITUTE SHEET In order to make absolutely sure that the condom effects

a positive seal to prevent leakage of ejaculated fluid a

second 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 .

As will be observed from FIG. 1 (A) , 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

to cause the ejaculated fluid to gel / or solidify thereby

immobilising the sperm thereby preventing exit of such fluid

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

SUBSTITUTE SHEET contain 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.

SUBSTITUTE SHEET 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.

and it will be appreciated that the solidifying agent in

particular would greatly reduce the incidence of bodily contac

by all concerned parties with ejaculated fluid both during

intercourse and after intercourse during the handling and

disposal of the condom.

According 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 5

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

SUBSTITUTE SHEET 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

above described are not restricted to the embodiments above

described.
