Urine absorbing sheath for men

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to a urine absorbing sheath for men and, more particularly, to an urine absorbing sheath for men that allows to absorb urine from penis while separating the penis from the testicles.

2. Description of the Related Art

Several designs for absorbing pads have been designed in the past. None of them, however, include a sheath capable of being removable attached covering the pennis so the sheath can absorb urine.

Applicant believes that a related reference corresponds to U.S. Pat. No. 9,713,547 issued for a fluid capturing device that is configured to encircle a penis and capture urine or other secretions. Applicant believes that another related reference corresponds to U.S. patent application No. 2019/0091075 issued for a male incontinence device in the form of a water-proof sleeve with an absorbent inner layer which is configured to receive a penis. None of these references, however, teach of an absorbing sheath for men that is comprised of a pennis worn sheath with an adhesive layer which removable secures the sheath to the penis, the sheath also contains an inner urine absorbing layer, a rubber or plastic guiding member, and an external absorbent pad which is configured to be placed between the penis and the testicles.

Other documents describing the closest subject matter provide for a number of more or less complicated features that fail to solve the problem in an efficient and economical way. None of these patents suggest the novel features of the present invention.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

It is one of the objects of the present invention to provide an urine absorbing sheath for men that is portable and removable so a person can remove the sheath without need of taking the pants off.

It is another object of this invention to provide an urine absorbing sheath for men that includes an adhesive layer so the sheath can adhere to the underwear preventing the sheath from moving.

It is still another object of the present invention to provide a urine absorbing sheath for men that includes straps which help to keep the sheath in place covering the pennis.

It is yet another object of this invention to provide such a device that is inexpensive to implement and maintain while retaining its effectiveness.

Further objects of the invention will be brought out in the following part of the specification, wherein detailed description is for the purpose of fully disclosing the invention without placing limitations thereon.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

With the above and other related objects in view, the invention consists in the details of construction and combination of parts as will be more fully understood from the following description, when read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in which:

FIG. 1 represents a side operational view of the present invention 10.

FIG. 2 shows an isometric view of the present invention 10.

FIG. 3 illustrates a cross sectional side view of the present invention 10. The present invention 10 includes a sheath assembly 20 and an attaching assembly 40.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS OF THE INVENTION

Referring now to the drawings, where the present invention is generally referred to with numeral 10, it can be observed that it basically includes a sheath assembly 20 and an attaching assembly 40. It should be understood there are modifications and variations of the invention that are too numerous to be listed but that all fit within the scope of the invention. Also, singular words should be read as plural and vice versa and masculine as feminine and vice versa, where appropriate, and alternative embodiments do not necessarily imply that the two are mutually exclusive.

The sheath assembly 20 may include a sheath 22, a pad 24, an elastic liner 26, and an absorbent layer 27. As best illustrated in FIG. 1 the sheath 22 may substantially have a cylindrical shape with an open top end. It also may be suitable for the sheath 22 to have a rectangular shape, a triangular shape, or any other suitable shape. In a preferred embodiment the sheath 22 may have such a shape that fits covering in abutting contact a user's penis. The sheath 22 may be made of polyurethane, cotton, leather, or any other suitable material. In a preferred embodiment the sheath 22 may be made of a waterproof material. The sheath 22 may have the absorbent layer 27 entirely extending about an inner surface thereof. The absorbent layer 27 may absorb urine or any other liquid while the sheath 22 may prevent the liquid to go out therefrom. The absorbent layer 27 may be made of cellulose, fleece or any other suitable material enclosing sodium polyacrylate or any other absorbent material.

The open top portion of the sheath 22 may include the elastic liner 26 extending about a perimeter thereof. The elastic liner 26 may be made of a fabric material enclosing an elastic fabric. User's penis may be introduced through the open top portion of the sheath 22.

The pad 24 may be located on a rear side of the sheath 22. The pad 24 may be made of a fabric material included but not limited to cotton and fleece enclosing an absorbent pad made of polypropylene, cellulose, and so on. The pad 24 may absorb sweat. The pad 24 may be integrally formed in the sheath 22.

Referring now to FIG. 3 it can be observed that the attaching assembly 40 may include an adhesive portion 42, a rubber portion 47 and attaching members 44. The adhesive portion 42 may extend about a length of a front portion of the sheath 22. The adhesive portion 42 may include neoprene, nitrile rubber, butadiene rubber impregnated in the sheath 22. In another embodiment the adhesive portion 42 may be adhered to the sheath 22. The adhesive portion 42 may be used to adhere the sheath 22 to the user's penis.

The rubber portion 47 may be located within the sheath 22. In a preferred embodiment the rubber portion 47 may be located on a front inner portion of the sheath 22. The rubber portion 47 may be made of butyl rubber, silicone rubber, neoprene, silicone rubber, or any other suitable material. The rubber portion 47 may allow the user's penis to move through the sheath 22. In one embodiment the rubber portion 47 may be lubricated. The rubber portion 47 may also prevent the movement of the sheath 22 when adhered to the user's penis.

In a preferred embodiment the attaching members 44 may protrude outwardly and upright from a top portion of the sheath 22, as best shown in FIG. 2. It also may be suitable for the attaching members 44 to protrude from a rear side, the front side, the left side, or from any other portion of the sheath 22. The attaching members 44 may be made of polyurethane, polyvinyl chloride, cotton, or any other suitable material. The attaching members 44 may include a posterior side and an anterior side. The anterior side of the attaching members 44 may include adhesive materials impregnated therein. It should be understood that the adhesive portion 42 and the anterior side of the attaching members 44 may be covered with a plastic covering prior to use.

In a preferred embodiment the present invention 10 may be worn covering the user's penis to absorb urine therefrom and sweat from genital area. In a preferred embodiment the present invention 10 may be held in place by means of attaching members 44, adhesive portion 42 and the rubber portion 47 in such a manner that the present invention 10 is adapted to be worn and removed without the need of removing jeans, pants or the underwear.

The foregoing description conveys the best understanding of the objectives and advantages of the present invention. Different embodiments may be made of the inventive concept of this invention. It is to be understood that all matter disclosed herein is to be interpreted merely as illustrative, and not in a limiting sense.
