Description

Title: A Condom 2016102344 12 Jan 2016

Technical Field [0001] This invention relates to birth control and in particular to a condom. Background Technology [0002] Any discussion of the prior art throughout the specification should in no way be considered as an admission that such prior art is widely known or forms part of common general knowledge in the field.

[0003] The generally-known type of condom has a papillary-shaped semen reservoir. The reservoir has a diameter of 12 mm to 15 mm and a length of 10 mm to 15 mm, which is small in volume and smooth on the surface. Apart from seminal fluid storage, the reservoir has no additional function. It is known to the professionals that most of the existing condoms are made by a dip moulding process. Because of the limitations in the mould and production process, the condoms are basically of uniform thickness. It is generally accepted by those who use condoms that the skin contact feel is greatly reduced with a condom on, and the dry friction arising from the use of a condom can also make women uncomfortable and otherwise impact upon their libido.

[0004] In an attempt to overcome these disadvantages the design of existing condoms is aimed at achieving an ultra-thin wall thickness and, as a result, the risk of rupture is increased. The rupture of condoms is highly undesirable and can cause such issues as disease transmission, infection and unplanned pregnancy.

[0005] The Chinese patent with the publication number of CN204072440U, discloses a type of condom. The features of this condom include: a condom body. At the open end of the condom body is an elastic ring, and at the bottom of the condom body is a semen reservoir. Below the semen reservoir is a sealed soft capsule that is air or liquid filled. The soft capsule and the condom body are sealed together through a forming mould. On the condom body and above the semen reservoir, is a lubricant circle ring. The lubricant ring is adhered to the condom body through a forming mould. The lubricant ring is filled with liquid, and is sealed together with the condom body. On the exterior surface of the lubricant ring are more than one micropores. The lubricant ring and the condom body are moulded together for the second time through plastic 1 forming mould. The lubricant ring is adhered circumferentially to the exterior surface of the condom body. The condom body is made of ordinary latex material. This type of condom is relatively difficult to manufacture, and in use is prone to inadvertent removal. Accordingly, this condom has not enjoyed any great practical success. 2016102344 12 Jan 2016 [0006] The Chinese patent with the publication number of CN101703434A discloses a further type of condom, which consists of a closed end and an open end. Between the two ends are an elastic ring and a semen reservoir. The semen reservoir is integrally formed at the closed end of the condom. The elongated tubular shaped semen reservoir has series of circumferential grooves and ridges. This type of condom increases the risk of infection among its users. Its semen reservoir is set at 30 mm to 80 mm, which makes it easy to break.

Content of Invention [0007] It is an object of the present invention to overcome or ameliorate at least one of the disadvantages of the prior art, or to provide a useful alternative.

Description of Drawings 2016102344 12 Jan 2016 [0035] Preferred embodiments of the invention will now be described, by way of example only, with reference to the accompanying drawings in which: [0036] Figure 1 is the structural view of the first embodiment of this new type of condom; and [0037] Figure 2 is the structural view of the second embodiment of this new type of condom.

[0038] The reference numerals used in the drawings include: 11 - the open end, 111 - the elastic ring, 12 - the closed end, 121 - the semen reservoir, 122 - the glans portion, 13 - the tubular condom body, 131 - the ejaculation controlling ring, 132 - the humps.

Detailed Description [0039] With reference to the drawings, following is the detailed description of the embodiments of this invention.

Embodiment 1 [0040] As is shown in Figure 1, a condom includes of the open end 11, the closed end 12 and the tubular condom body 13 in-between the open end 11 and the closed end 12. At the open end is an elastic ring 111, and at the closed end is an integrally formed semen reservoir 121. The feature is that a glans portion 122 is integrally formed surrounding the exterior of the semen reservoir 121. The glans portion 122 is a solid entity, which enhances the sex delight and prolongs intercourse.

[0041] An ejaculation controlling ring 131 is adhered to the interior surface of the tubular condom body 13. The ejaculation controlling ring 131 can reduce the flow of male sex secretions and enhance the sexual delight. The open end 11 is trumpet shaped, which protects the male scrotum and at the same time prevents contact of male and female sex secretions and promotes safe sex. 5 [0042] Several humps 132 are designed on the exterior surface of the tubular condom body 13. The humps are in screw thread arrangement, which helps women with vaginal relaxation regain sexual pleasure. 2016102344 12 Jan 2016 [0043] The length of the condom is 17.00 cm, the diameter of the glans portion 122 is 4.00 cm, the diameter of the closed end 12 is 3.30 cm, the diameter of the ejaculation controlling ring 131 is 3.50 cm, the diameter of the elastic ring 111 is 11.00 cm, and the thickness of the tubular condom body 13 is 3.30 cm. This type of condom can increase the effective thickness and length of the penis. The solid glans portion 122 contains the semen reservoir 121, which causes no hinderance to ejaculation.

[0044] The thickness of the condom is 3.10 mm to 3.50 mm, which revolutionises the traditional concept of a condom. Furthermore, this type of condom has no added lubricant, which makes it hygienic to use. This condom is made of medical silicone, which has the functions of skin affinity and temperature memory. It is proved by experiments that this condom can be reused up to 500 times: it just needs to be rinsed clean after use and stored in a sealed bag. This type of condom can be produced in different colours, for example three different colours to suit fair, light-brown and dark skin colours.

Embodiment 2 [0045] As is shown in Figure 2, this condom provides an Embodiment 2. Different from Embodiment 1, the humps 132 are in linear arrangement. The distance of two adjacent humps on a straight line is 3.00 mm to 5.00 mm.

[0046] This invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Without departing from the substance of this invention, any modification, improvement or substitution that skilled personal in this field can think of, falls into the scope of this invention. 6
