Abstract: A device to drain uncontrolled urine release in male persons has a body (10) made of soft, pliable material whose central cross section forms an approximately circular cylindrical mantel (12) matched to the penis cross section, to which a collecting chamber (13) connects on one end which is funnel-shaped, narrowing in the direction of a hose connection (14). On the other open end, the mantel (12) is subdivided into multiple tongues (16a, 16b, 16c) through interruptions (18a, 18b, 18c) which follow each other in a circumferential direction, and on the body (10) at the transition from the closed mantel (12) to the tongues (16a, 16b, 16c), a soft elastic pliable sleeve (35) is applied or can be applied, which is suitable for enclosing the tongues elastically from outside.

Abstract: A support system for a catheter urine collection bag comprising three circumferential straps with suitable padding and adjustable hook and loop closures. The circumferential straps are held in proximity to one another by a first longitudinal strap connecting the three on their front surfaces, and a second longitudinal control strap between the upper strap and the second strap on their rear surfaces. The longitudinal control strap acts fundamentally as a hinge between the upper two circumferential straps to prevent the circumferential straps from twisting out of position relative to one another. The second circumferential strap and the lower, third strap have loop closure material which matches hook closure material threaded through the support holes formed into the bag.

Abstract: A support strap whose lower end is sewn to a hook-and-loop band which encircles the sheath portion of a urine-collecting catheter and the user's penis. Its upper end has male part snaps sewn to it, which cooperate with female part snaps on the undergarment's waistband. The strap and band prevent the external urinary catheter from slipping off of the penis. The band has multiple indicating marks on the loop side and one mark on the hook side, for accurate repositioning of the band each time it is reapplied. A second embodiment has a front section of a garment onto which is sewn a grooved retainer ring, which encircles the penis. An applicator ring is used to spread the rim of the condom catheter to facilitate fitting the condom onto the penis and for fitting the rim into the groove of the grooved retaining ring.

Abstract: Barriers for preventing contraception and disease transmission comprise, in the simplest embodiment, a tubular or cylindrical shield (12, 38) of rubber to isolate the penis from the vagina and an attached flange portion (14) to shield the area surrounding the penis and vagina. The underside of the flange has adhesive (16) around the edge border to retain the flange in place. The device may be used by a female partner and is more effective than a condom since it shields the surrounding area. The device may be formed as part of a panty (30) or man's brief (70) so that the female can control prophylaxis and contraception, or the subordinate male in gay sex can control prophylaxis. The tubular rubber shield is provided in a compacted, folded state (38) with a lubricant (54, 56) and a lubricant-impervious covering (20, 22, 58, 66). When made part of an undergarment, the inner side of the shield is covered with a layer of cotton (62) for comfort.

A separate thin flexible band (2) is interposed between successive turns of the rolled torus and has an adhesive rejecting surface facing the layer of pressure sensitive adhesive.

Abstract: A urine collection vessel is coupled to the body of a person by means of a partial vacuum created within the collection vessel. An air flow valve at the output of the vessel is adjustable to control the degree of a partial vacuum created within the vessel as well as establishing control over the velocity of air flow through the valve and down the associated conduit through which urine is conducted to a reservoir in which the urine is accumulated. The device is intended for use primarily by people who are troubled with prostate or bladder problems which, without the use of the invention, would make it necessary for these persons to frequently fully rouse themselves from sleep and to exit from their beds in order to void their bladders in the course of the night.

The catheter may be selectively released from the chamber and opening so that uncontaminated urine samples may be removed from the closed chamber.

Abstract: A condom is provided for enhancing feeling and stimulation on the part of the male by allowing the condom to move, e.g., by a sliding action on the surface of the penis during intercourse. Typically the distal end of the condom is frictionally related to the vagina by weakly bonding the condom to the vagina as by means of a gum-like adhesive agent or by means of a multiplicity of minute fibers bonded on the outside surface of the condom or both. The condom near its open end is held tightly against the base of the penis and, if desired, weakly bonded thereto by means of a removable adhesive to form a tight seal.

Abstract: A male contraceptive hood which is adhesively secured to the penis, the hood being initially rolled up and the interior of the hood being free of adhesive until it is unrolled. The hood has a thin sheath which serves as the contraceptive device and an outer cylindrical member which is initially rolled together with the thin sheath. The outer cylindrical member has an adhesive on a portion of its outer surface, separated from the outer surface by a release agent, the adhesive being transferred to the inner surface of the sheath as the hood is unrolled onto a penis. The outer member can then be removed leaving only the thin inner sheath on the penis. A projecting portion is provided on the outer member for grasping the outer member to remove it.In a preferred form, a lubricant is disposed between the sheath and the inner surface of the outer cylindrical member. This lubricant remains on the outer surface of the sheath to facilitate removal of the outer member and also to aid in intercourse.
