Description

PROPHYLACTIC DEVICE
Background of the Invention
This invention relates to a prophylactic device. More particularly, this invention relates to an improved con¬ dom.
In this day of dreaded venereal diseases and sexual freedom, people have been increasingly urged by the medical profession, as well as by governmental organizations, to use condoms to prevent the spread of venereal diseases.
However, condoms are well known to be only partially effective. Leakage and breakage both serve to reduce the effectiveness of condoms as a barrier to contagion and to con¬ ception. Objects of the Invention
An object of the present invention is to provide an improved condom.
Another object of the present invention is to pro¬ vide a condom which increases the effectiveness of the device as a barrier to the spread of disease.
Another, more particular, object of the present invention is to provide such a condom which is not prohibi¬ tively expensive. Summary of the Invention
A prophylactic device comprises, in accordance with a general embodiment of the present invention, a first condom having a first base, and a second condom inserted inside the first condom, the second condom having a second base. The device further comprises means for attaching the first condom and the second condom to one another about their respective bases. In addition, the first condom may be provided in a region about the first base with an opening for permitting the evacuation of air from between the first condom and the second condom during use of the device.
Pursuant to another feature of the present inven¬ tion, the first condom is provided with a plurality of open¬ ings in the region about the first base. The openings are advantageously spaced from each other in an annular array at the base of the outer condom.
The outer and inner condoms may be attached to one another about their respective bases via a heat seal.
A prophylactic device comprises, in accordance with condom and an inner condom. The outer condom is closed at an end opposite its base, while the inner condom is inserted inside the outer condom. The inner condom is open at its base and closed at an end opposite its base. The condoms are attached to one another about their respective bases, at least one of the condoms being provided along a surface facing the other condom with a series of projections for enhancing geni¬ tal stimulation during intercourse.
Pursuant to another feature of the present inven¬ tion, the device further comprises a lubricating substance disposed between the condoms. The lubricant may include a spermicidal agent, a bacteriocidal agent, and/or an antiviral agent.
Pursuant to a further feature of the present inven¬ tion, the outer condom is provided in a region about its base with at least one opening for permitting the evacuation of air from between the condoms during use of the device. Preferably, a series of openings are angularly equispaced in a circular or annular array about the base of the outer condom.
Pursuant to an additional feature of the present invention, the outer condom is longer than the inner condom, the condoms being slidable one relative to the other during use of the device during intercourse, thereby facilitating the action of the projections.
Where the projections are provided on the outer con¬ dom, the projections may be located at least in part near the closed end of that condom.
The projections may take the form of annular ribs. Pursuant to yet another feature of the present invention, the condoms have different colors, thereby facili¬ tating detection of breakage or perforation of the outer con¬ dom.
Another prophylactic device comprises, in accordance with the present invention, an outer condom close at an end opposite its base and a second, inner, condom inserted inside the outer condom. The inner condom is open at its base and is closed at an end opposite its base, while means are provided for attaching the outer condom and the inner condom to one provided in a region about the first base with an opening for permitting the evacuation of air from between the outer condom and the inner condom during use of the device. In addition, at least one of the condoms is provided with a high-friction surface facing the other condom, thereby serving to strengthen the device by maintaining the two condoms in a fixed relative structure.
The outer and inner condoms may be attached to one another about their respective bases via a heat seal.
An improved prophylactic in accordance with the present invention may be rolled in the manner of conventional condoms for transport and sale.
A condom in accordance with the present invention increases the effectiveness of the condom as a barrier to the spread of disease. Moreover, such a condom is not prohibi¬ tively expensive to manufacture. Brief Description of the Drawing

Fig. 4 is a partial cross-sectional view of a side wall of another prophylactic device in accordance with the present invention. Detailed Description
As illustrated in Fig. 1, a prophylactic device com¬ prises an outer condom 12 having a circular base 14 and an inner condom 16 inserted inside the outer condom. Inner con¬ dom 16 likewise has a circular base 18 defining an opening for the insertion of a penis (not illustrated) . Outer condom 12 and inner condom 16 are attached to one another about their respective bases .14 and 18. In addition, outer condom 12 is ings 20 spaced from each other in an annular array for permit¬ ting the evacuation of air from between the outer condom and inner condom 16 during use of the device.
Outer condom 12 and inner condom 16 are attached to one another about their respective bases 14 and 18 via an annular heat seal.
As illustrated in Fig. 2, a prophylactic device com¬ prises an outer condom 22 having a circular base 24 and an inner condom 26 inserted inside the outer condom. Inner con¬ dom 26 likewise has a circular base 28 defining an opening for the insertion of a penis (not shown) . Outer condom 22 and inner condom 26 are attached to one another about their respective bases 24 and 28, for example via an ultrasonic weld or heat seal. In addition, outer condom 22 is provided in a region about base 24 with a plurality of openings 30 spaced from each other in a circular or annular array for permitting the evacuation of air from between the outer condom and inner condom 26 during use of the device.
As further illustrated in Fig. 2, inner condom 26 is provided along an outer side, facing outer condom 22, with a plurality of spaced projections 32 in the form of annular ribs. Outer condom 22 is likewise provided along an inner surface, facing inner condom 26, with a plurality of spaced projections 34 in the form of annular ribs. Ribs 32 may over¬ lap ribs 34 or may be longitudinally spaced therefrom along the length of the prophylactic device, as illustrated in Fig. 2.
In one embodiment, inner condom 22 and outer condom 26 may be relatively fixed with respect to one another even during use of the device. This relative fixation may be enhanced or implemented by the provision, on an inner surface of outer condom 22 or on an outer surface of inner condom 26, of a layer 36 of high-friction material such as a tacky polymer, as depicted in Fig. 4.
In another embodiment, a lubricating, substance optionally including a bactericidal agent, an antiviral agent, and/or a spermicidal agent is disposed in a space 38 (Fig. 3) between outer condom 22 and inner condom 26. In this event. * may be longer than inner condom 26, to provide for a relative motion between the condoms or sheath layers during use of the /, prophylactic device. This relative motion serves to enhance the stimulation afforded the female organ by projections or ribs 32 and to enhance the stimulation afforded the male organ by projections or ribs 34.
In the embodiment of Fig. 3, i.e., where a lubricat¬ ing substance is disposed in space 38, it is desirable to omit apertures 30, to prevent leakage or ejection of the lubricat¬ ing substance during use of the prophylactic device. Thus, space 38 is hermetically sealed.
Condoms 12 and 16, or 22 and 26, may be of different colors, thereby facilitating detection of breakage or perfora¬ tion of the outer condom.
Although the invention has been described in terms of particular embodiments and applications, one of ordinary skill in the art, in light of this teaching, can generate additional embodiments and modifications without departing from the spirit of or exceeding the scope of the claimed invention. For example, in the double condom of Fig. 2, ribs 32 or 34 may be omitted, leaving only one set of stimulation- enhancing projections. In addition, to increase the strength of the device of Fig. 1, that device may be formed with the high-friction intermediate layer or surface discussed hereinabove with reference to Fig. 4. It is to be noted in this regard that one or both condoms 12 and 16 may be made of a high-friction material.
For these reasons and others, it is to be understood that the drawings and descriptions herein are profferred by way of example to facilitate comprehension of the invention and should not be construed to limit the scope thereof.
