Abstract
Abstract An erection holder to enable or prolong an erection of the penis of a man. It has a body of sleeve-like configuration with an outer sleeve wall surface, a hollow interior surrounded by an inner sleeve wall surface, a base end destined for coming to rest, during use, against a portion of the user's abdomen, surrounding the root of his penis, and an outer end. Openings are in the base end and the inner end. A first inwardly directed protrusion surrounds the opening in the base end and a second inwardly directed protrusion surrounds the opening in the outer end. A circumferential lip portion extends from the base end in an axial direction and is preferably integral with the body of the holder and preferably forms a circumferential blunt edge with the said first protrusion. Between the two protrusions the sidewall of the body is outwardly curved and preferably barrel-shaped.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
215 words
An erection holder destined as an auxiliary means for enabling or prolonging an erection of the penis of a man, which holder is of sleeve-like configuration and consists of an elastic material of determined extensibility, said holder comprising a body having an outer sleeve wall surface, a hollow interior surrounded by an inner sleeve wall surface, a base end destined for coming to rest, during use, against a portion of the user's abdomen surrounding the root of his penis, and an outer end away from said base end, a first opening at said base end and a second opening, substantially opposite said first opening, at said outer end, a first inwardly directed protrusion surrounding said first opening, a circumferential tapered lip portion extending substantially axially relative to said body from adjacent said first protrusion, said lip portion being adapted to flex radially outward against the user's abdomen in the mounted position of the penis for cooperation with said first protrusion to pump blood from the abdomen into said penis, a second inwardly directed circumferential protrusion, spaced outwardly from said first protrusion, adjacent said outer end and surrounding said second opening, the wall portion of said holder intermediate said first and second protrusion being curved outwardly and said inner sleeve wall surface being concavely outwardly vaulted.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim

An erection holder destined as an auxiliary means for enabling or prolonging an erection of the penis of a man, which holder is of sleeve-like configuration and consists of an elastic material of determined extensibility, said holder comprising a body having an outer sleeve wall surface, a hollow interior surrounded by an inner sleeve wall surface, a base end destined for coming to rest, during use, against a portion of the user's abdomen surrounding the root of his penis, and an outer end away from said base end, a first opening at said base end and a second opening, substantially opposite said first opening, at said outer end, a first inwardly directed protrusion surrounding said first opening, a circumferential tapered lip portion extending substantially axially relative to said body from adjacent said first protrusion, said lip portion being adapted to flex radially outward against the user's abdomen in the mounted position of the penis for cooperation with said first protrusion to pump blood from the abdomen into said penis, a second inwardly directed circumferential protrusion, spaced outwardly from said first protrusion, adjacent said outer end and surrounding said second opening, the wall portion of said holder intermediate said first and second protrusion being curved outwardly and said inner sleeve wall surface being concavely outwardly vaulted.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
