ABSTRACT:
A user-activated vacuum-assisted condom applicator is shown which enables the user to apply a standard pre-rolled condom. A tubular receptacle and an egg-shaped applicator are arranged to interact with each other. The applicator is hollow and has a small hole at each end and a groove around the external surface of the fat, central portion. The tubular receptacle has a flared opening at one end and a generally closed other end with a small hole centrally disposed therein, and has an internal diameter larger than an erect penis. The egg-shaped applicator is of a size whereby the external central portion with a groove can rest upon the flared open end of the tubular receptacle without entering the tubular receptacle. In use, a rolled condom, as customarily supplied by the manufacturer, is partially unrolled and placed over one end of the egg-shaped applicator until the enlarged, rubberized ring at the open end of the condom fits into the groove in the central portion of the applicator. Thereupon the applicator with a condom secured thereon is applied to the receptacle in a manner whereby the condom is disposed within the receptacle. The rubber ring of the condom is pulled from the applicator over and around the external portion of the flared ends of the receptacle whereby to hold and seal the condom in the receptacle.
Thereupon the user inflates the condom within the receptacle by blowing through the hole at the exposed end of the applicator until the condom is fully inflated within the receptacle. By manually closing the small opening at the closed end of the receptacle and removing the applicator from the open end of the receptacle, the condom remains fully distended within the receptacle, against the inner wall thereof, and the condom with the receptacle as a carrier, can be placed over the penis. Finally, the small opening of the closed end of the receptacle is uncovered to permit natural atmospheric pressure to enter the receptacle, and the condom is properly applied around the penis. The receptacle is thereafter removed and, with the applicator, ready for reuse with another condom on another occasion.
