Abstract
Abstract A male urinal device comprised of a fabric base tubular expansible liquid conveying sheath adapted to receive the penis and to be affixed thereto in fluidtight relation. The fabric basic tube of the sheath is coated with a suitable liquid repelling substance which itself is pliable and elastic. The downstream end of the sheath is adapted to be connected to a tube of relatively smaller diameter for conveying urine to a receiving container. The receiving container is preferably a container having flexible walls which in turn have projections extending from their inner surfaces toward opposite walls thereof.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
37 words
A sheath for use in a male urinal system comprising a unitary, expansible, rubber impregnated, liquid impervious, tubular fabric sleeve having a constricted downstream end portion adapted to be connected in fluidtight arrangement with a drain tube.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
37 words
A sheath for use in a male urinal system comprising a unitary, expansible, rubber impregnated, liquid impervious, tubular fabric sleeve having a constricted downstream end portion adapted to be connected in fluidtight arrangement with a drain tube.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
59 words
The sheath of claim 1, wherein the fabric is of knit construction and is so impregnated and coated with rubber as to provide a gradually increasing wall thickness from the upstream end to the constricted downstream end section, the thickness being such as to permit easy tubular rolling of the device from the upstream end toward the downstream end.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
11 words
The sheath of claim 1, wherein said rubber is silicone rubber.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
50 words
The sheath of claim 1, wherein a reinforcing ring is formed at its upstream end, and a plurality of closely spaced apart ring members are affixed on the constricted end portion, so as to form at least one area which is more elastic between ring areas which are less elastic.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
57 words
The sheath of claim 1, wherein at least one section of elastic tubing is provided within and providing at least a portion of the inner surface of the constricted end portion of said sheath and a plurality of ring members is provided to bound at least a portion of said elastic tubing with areas of less elasticity.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
57 words
A male urinal system comprising the sheath of claim 1, in combination with a drain tube which is affixed in fluidtight and communicating relation to the constricted downstream end portion of said sheath and affixed at the other end to a container, the inner walls of which have extensions protruding therefrom so as to prevent collapse thereof.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
30 words
The sheath of claim 1, wherein the upstream end portion is provided with an outwardly flaring flexible flange adapted to be adhesively joined in fluidtight engagement to the human body.
