Claim 1
Independent Claim
241 words
A device for assisting in an erection of the male genital organ comprising: an elongated vacuum cylinder including a main tubular portion for accommodating said organ in a distended configuration being open at one end thereof for receiving said organ and having a reduced opening at an opposing end in the form of a nipple fitting; said receiving end of said vacuum cylinder including an annular contoured shoulder means exending radially outwardly from said tubular portion of said vacuum cylinder forming an air seal with a body portion when held firmly thereagainst; a raised surface for retaining an elastic band carried about said tubular portion flush and contiguous with said annular shoulder means facilitating reliable removal of said elastic band over said contoured shoulder means for application about said organ simultaneous with removal of said vacuum cylinder from said organ and the breaking of said air seal; a flexible conduit fitted on said nipple end of said vacuum cylinder for communicating the interior of said vacuum cylinder with a vacuum source to evacuate said cylinder; and a manually-operated valve means connected in said flexible conduit having a closed position to maintain said vacuum in said cylinder and hold the erection while said elastic band is released from said raised surface about said organ at the desired time to capture the erection and an open position for relieving said vacuum once said elastic band is in place for removal of said device.
