Abstract
Abstract A sheath arrangement for a male urinal device in which there is a urinal sheath of flexible material designed to extend over a substantial portion lengthwise of the penis and a liner pad of synthetic, resiliently compressible, deformable, waterproof material in the form of a relatively wide strip to be wound around the penis to form a cushion between the penis and the sheath. The liner pad is wide enough to extend from the head of the penis upwardly along the penal shaft a sufficient distance to provide an adequate cushion between the sheath and the penis and long enough to be wrapped at least one and a half turns around the penis. The liner pad may be either of a polymer-oil elastomeric combination or of a closed cell foam material and, preferably, has at least one adhesive surface as to cling to the penis. In some forms of the invention, we also employ a relatively wide tape of elastic material designed to be wrapped under tension over the sheath to hold the sheath firmly against the liner pad.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 13
Claim 1
Independent Claim
178 words
A sheath arrangement for a male urinal device comprising: a urinal sheath of flexible material designed for application to a penis for covering a substantial portion lengthwise of the same and having a reduced portion for extending over and beyond the tip of the penis; said reduced portion having connection means secured thereto for connecting the sheath through a suitable conduit to a urine receptacle, and a liner pad of synthetic, resiliently compressible deformable waterproof material in the form of a strip of such material having a width of well over half of the length of the upper portion of the sheath above the reduced portion so as to extend over a substantial portion lengthwise of a normal flaccid penis and of a length substantially greater than the circumference of such a normal flaccid penis to enable the strip to be wrapped at least one and a half turns around the penis before application thereto of said sheath, the thickness of said strip being less than one-fourth of an inch to facilitate wrapping said strip about the penis.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
178 words
A sheath arrangement for a male urinal device comprising: a urinal sheath of flexible material designed for application to a penis for covering a substantial portion lengthwise of the same and having a reduced portion for extending over and beyond the tip of the penis; said reduced portion having connection means secured thereto for connecting the sheath through a suitable conduit to a urine receptacle, and a liner pad of synthetic, resiliently compressible deformable waterproof material in the form of a strip of such material having a width of well over half of the length of the upper portion of the sheath above the reduced portion so as to extend over a substantial portion lengthwise of a normal flaccid penis and of a length substantially greater than the circumference of such a normal flaccid penis to enable the strip to be wrapped at least one and a half turns around the penis before application thereto of said sheath, the thickness of said strip being less than one-fourth of an inch to facilitate wrapping said strip about the penis.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
154 words
A sheath arrangement for a male urinal device comprising: a urinal sheath of flexible material designed for application to a penis for covering a substantial portion lengthwise of the same and having a connection means secured thereto for connecting the sheath through a suitable conduit to a urine receptacle, and a liner pad of synthetic, resiliently compressible deformable waterproof material in the form of a strip of such material having a width sufficiently great to extend over a substantial portion lengthwise of a normal flaccid penis and of a length substantially greater than the circumference of such a normal flaccid penis to enable the strip to be wrapped at least one and a half turns around the penis before application thereto of said sheath, at least the surface of the liner pad intended to be in contact with the penis being adhesive so that it tends to be held in place on the penis.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
154 words
A sheath arrangement for a male urinal device comprising: a urinal sheath of flexible material designed for application to a penis for covering a substantial portion lengthwise of the same and having a connection means secured thereto for connecting the sheath through a suitable conduit to a urine receptacle, and a liner pad of synthetic, resiliently compressible deformable waterproof material in the form of a strip of such material having a width sufficiently great to extend over a substantial portion lengthwise of a normal flaccid penis and of a length substantially greater than the circumference of such a normal flaccid penis to enable the strip to be wrapped at least one and a half turns around the penis before application thereto of said sheath, at least the surface of the liner pad intended to be in contact with the penis being adhesive so that it tends to be held in place on the penis.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
44 words
The sheath arrangement of claim 2 in which both surfaces of the liner pad are adhesive so that the liner pad is not only held iN place on the penis but the sheath is also held against movement with respect to the liner pad.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
47 words
The sheath arrangement of claim 3 in which the adhesive is a pressure sensitive adhesive and in which the sheath is formed of a thin rubber which has been treated in a sulfuric acid solution to reduce the tendency of the rubber to adhere to the adhesive.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
19 words
The sheath arrangement of claim 1 in which the liner pad is made of a closed cell foam material.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
22 words
The sheath arrangement of claim 5 in which said closed cell foam material is a polyurethane foam cross linked by electron radiation.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
26 words
The sheath arrangement of claim 1 in which the liner pad is made of an expanded vulcanized, closed cell blend of nitrile rubber and polyvinyl chloride.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
23 words
The sheath arrangement of claim 7 in which the strip of liner pad is of a thickness of approximately three-sixteenths of an inch.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
19 words
The sheath arrangement of claim 1 in which the material of said liner pad is a polymer-oil elastomeric combination.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
78 words
The sheath arrangement of claim 1 in which there is a tape formed of elastic material, said tape having a width substantially less than the width of the liner pad and of a length at least twice that of the circumference of a normal flaccid penis to enable a plurality of layers of said tape to be wrapped over the sheath when in position on a penis to hold the sheath firmly in engagement with the liner pad.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
29 words
The sheath arrangement of claim 1 in which the portion of the sheath which extends over the penis is relatively thin as compared with the remaining lower portion thereof.
