Patent number: 5728043Abstract: An erection aid device, comprising a disk that defines an opening slightly smaller than a user's fully erect penis, a set of connecting straps and a rigid extension arm that is fixed to the disk, with the extension arm shaped so that it can be attached to a belt worn around the user, while holding the disk in a vertical position against the base of the penis. The user pushes their penis through the opening in the disk, and slides the disk to the base of the penis. The scrotum is positioned between two connecting lines, that are connected to a belt on one end, and the disk on the other end. The connecting lines pull the disk, so that it presses against the user's groin area, with the rigid extension arm maintaining the disk in a vertical position. The pressure of the disk against the user's body assists in compressing inner vein diameters that drain the corpus cavernosa, without interfering with other normal body functions.Type: GrantFiled: October 19, 1995Date of Patent: March 17, 1998Inventor: Joseph C.

Patent number: 5683383Abstract: An expanded elastic ring is supported in an annular groove within a ring outer cylinder for use in vacuum therapy of a dysfunctional penis. The cylinder has an open end for initial placement against a user's body with the penis contained within the cylinder. The cylinder further comprises a cap on a closed end into which a vacuum pump is integrated. The elastic ring expanded around an inner cylinder into an annular groove is remotely released within a vacuum drawn within the cylinder. In a first embodiment, the vacuum effects the release as the inner cylinder is withdrawn into an outer cylinder until the ring falls off of the inner cylinder end. In a second embodiment, push rods extending into the annular groove push the ring past a stationary inner cylinder, effected by rotation of the cap on the cylinder. An inclined face on the cap bottom surface engages the rod, pushing the rod into the annular groove.Type: GrantFiled: August 7, 1995Date of Patent: November 4, 1997Inventors: John C. Russell, Jack H. Philbrick, Jr.

Patent number: 5669869Abstract: A hand-held cylindrical device, and method for its use, comprising a flexible collar fitting over a flared flange on one of its open ends and a threaded cap on its other open end. A one-way valve is connected through the threaded cap so that as a penis is inserted into the cylinder, the collar forms a seal around the penis forcing air out of the cylinder through the one-way valve. After insertion, and when the cylinder is partially drawn away from the penis, the one-way valve closes and a vacuum is formed within the cylinder causing blood to be drawn into the penis, thereby enlarging it. Repeated massaging movement of the cylinder, by hand or through an electrical device creating reciprocal movement which is attached to the cap, or the use of a condom within the cylinder, causes more stimulation and additional enlargement until the penis is fully erect.Type: GrantFiled: May 20, 1996Date of Patent: September 23, 1997Inventor: Arnold J. Strom
