  • Patent number: 6044693
    Abstract: A plurality of rolled-up prophylactic devices are passed through a plurality of pairs of unroller tubes with a randomizer vessel being coupled between each pair of unroller tubes, the randomizer vessels functioning to randomly reorient a portion of rolled-up ones of the prophylactic devices passing therethrough to move a rolled-up portion of each of the latter to the outside of the associated prophylactic device to facilitate unrolling of the same as it passes from the randomizer vessel into another one of the unroller tubes. A separator tank has an inlet port coupled to an output end of the last occurring unroller tube, for collecting the processed prophylactic devices, and for applying a vacuum to the system for sucking the prophylactic devices through the unroller tubes and randomizer vessels.
