Claim 1
Independent Claim
169 words
A urine collecting incontinence guard for male use, comprising a urine holding sheath comprised by two identical side walls which are sealed together along the edges thereof except for an opening which is along one edge, the edges adjacent the edge along which the opening is formed being substantially parallel to each other and extending one at an acute angle and the other at an obtuse angle from said one edge, said side walls each comprising an outer layer of urine-impermeable material and an inner layer of urine-absorbing material, said edge opposite said opening being substantially parallel to said edge in which said opening is formed, said edge along which said opening is formed and its opposite edge being longer than the other two edges, said impermeable material being folded over the inner side of said absorbing material along said edge in which the opening is formed, thereby forming an edge means to minimize the loss of both urine and moisture absorbing material at the edges of the opening.
