Abstract
Abstract An anatomical device adapted for attachment to a penis has a rigid frame in the form of a U-shaped member having a substantially planar back portion and converging leg portions extending codirectionally from the back portion. A longitudinally extending projection is connected to the U-shaped member and arranged parallel with the back portion and extending codirectionally with respect to the leg portions for applying local pressure to the dorsal vein of the penis. The U-shaped member may have two segments, one segment having walls defining a longitudinally extending cavity and the other segment having a longitudinally extending member slidably arranged in the cavity to permit the device to be adjusted for easy application or removal. The cavity and longitudinally extending member substantially form the back portion of the U-shaped member. One of the segments is provided with a catch member extending into the cavity, and the other segment is provided with a plurality of ratchet teeth arranged to engage the catch member. The pressure exerted on the leg portions by an enlarged penis causes the ratchet teeth and catch to lock at a predetermined position relative to one another.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 20
Claim 1
Independent Claim
57 words
An anatomical device adapted for attachment to a penis, comprising rigid frame means for attachment to a penis, and the rigid frame means being in the form of a U-shaped member provided with a portion arrangeable for applying local pressure to the dorsal vein of the penis and restricting the flow of blood out of the penis.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
57 words
An anatomical device adapted for attachment to a penis, comprising rigid frame means for attachment to a penis, and the rigid frame means being in the form of a U-shaped member provided with a portion arrangeable for applying local pressure to the dorsal vein of the penis and restricting the flow of blood out of the penis.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
75 words
An anatomical device adapted for attachment to a penis, comprising rigid frame means for attachment to a penis, and means provided on said rigid frame means for applying local pressure to the dorsal vein of the penis and restricting the flow of blood out of the penis, said rigid frame means being in the form of a U-shaped member having a substantially planar back portion and converging leg portions extending codirectionally from said back portion.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
75 words
An anatomical device adapted for attachment to a penis, comprising rigid frame means for attachment to a penis, and means provided on said rigid frame means for applying local pressure to the dorsal vein of the penis and restricting the flow of blood out of the penis, said rigid frame means being in the form of a U-shaped member having a substantially planar back portion and converging leg portions extending codirectionally from said back portion.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
45 words
A structure as defined in claim 2, wherein said leg portions are dimensioned to terminate at a point on the penis that is short of the area of the urethra of the penis so as to avoid applying a local pressure and restricting the urethra.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
40 words
A structure as defined in claim 3, wherein the pressure applying means is a longitudinally extending projection connected to said U-shaped member and arranged parallel with respect to said back portion, and extending codirectionally with respect to said leg portions.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
60 words
A structure as defined in claim 4, wherein said back portion is a portion of two segments, one segment having walls defining a longitudinally extending cavity and the other segment having a longitudinally extending member slidably arranged in the cavity to permit the device to be easily adjusted and put on an erect penis and to fit a particular penis.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
67 words
A structure as defined in claim 5, wherein said one segment is provided with a catch member extending into said cavity, and said other segment is provided with a plurality of ratchet teeth arranged to engage said catch member, the pressure exerted on said leg portions by an enlarged penis causing the ratchet teeth and catch to lock in a predetermined position with respect to one another.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
52 words
A structure as defined in claim 2, wherein said back portion is a portion of two segments, one segment having walls defining a longitudinally extending cavity and the other segment having a longitudinally extending member slidably arranged in the cavity to permit the device to be adjusted to fit a particular penis.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
67 words
A structure as defined in claim 7, wherein said one segment is provided with a catch member extending into said cavity, and said other segment is provided with a plurality of ratchet teeth arranged to engage said catch member, the pressure exerted on said leg portions by an enlarged penis causing the ratchet teeth and catch to lock in a predetermined position with respect to one another.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
40 words
A structure as defined in claim 2, wherein the pressure applying means is a longitudinally extending projection connected to said U-shaped member and arranged parallel with respect to said back portion, and extending codirectionally with respect to said leg portions.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
25 words
A structure as defined in claim 2, wherein thE back portion has an arcuate surface arranged for pressing against the dorsal vein of a penis.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
23 words
A structure as defined in claim 2, wherein the pressure applying means is a longitudinally extending projection connected to said rigid frame means.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim
92 words
An anatomical device adapted for attachment to a penis, comprising rigid frame means in the form of a U-shaped member for attachment to a penis, and having two segments, one segment having walls defining a longitudinally extending cavity and the other segment having a longitudinally extending member slidably arranged in the cavity for permitting the device to be adjusted to fit a particular penis, said cavity and longitudinally extending member forming a substantially planar back portion of the U-shaped member, which further has converging leg portions extending codirectionally from said back portion.
Claim 15
Dependent Claim
92 words
An anatomical device adapted for attachment to a penis, comprising rigid frame means in the form of a U-shaped member for attachment to a penis, and having two segments, one segment having walls defining a longitudinally extending cavity and the other segment having a longitudinally extending member slidably arranged in the cavity for permitting the device to be adjusted to fit a particular penis, said cavity and longitudinally extending member forming a substantially planar back portion of the U-shaped member, which further has converging leg portions extending codirectionally from said back portion.
Claim 16
Dependent Claim
67 words
A structure as defined in claim 12, wherein said one segment is provided with a catch member extending into said cavity, and said other segment is provided with a plurality of ratchet teeth arranged to engage said catch member, the pressure exerted on said leg portions by an enlarged penis causing the ratchet teeth and catch to lock in a predetermined position with respect to one another.
Claim 17
Dependent Claim
25 words
A structure as defined in claim 13, wherein the back portion has an arcuate surface arranged for pressing against the dorsal vein of a penis.
Claim 18
Dependent Claim
25 words
A structure as defined in claim 12, wherein the back portion has an arcuate surface arranged for pressing against the dorsal vein of a penis.
Claim 19
Dependent Claim
21 words
A structure as defined in claim 1, wherein the pressure applying portion is a planar back portion of the U-shaped member.
Claim 20
Dependent Claim
