Abstract
Abstract In a preferred embodiment, a condom-like article includes a condom-like closed-end sleeve having at its open end a continuous water-impervious sheet (shield) having a height extending upwardly from the hole at-least about seven or more inches sufficiently to overlay a navel of a male person wearing the condom-sleeve and extending downwardly at-least about two inches or more, there being liquid-catching and retaining cup-like structures at the bottom of the sheet on each of the flat hole-side face of the sheet and of the opposite face, each cup-like structure being positioned and adapted to catch or receive and retain any liquid draining or forced through the lower end, and the sheet further having a handle-structure extending from its flat face at or near the upper end of the sheet, and securing elements for tying or otherwise intermittently mounting the upper end of the sheet onto a mid or upper part of the body of the male wearing the condom-like article, and as a part of a combination, a water impervious mask with mounting mechanism therefor, for intermittently covering the mouth and nose during copulation.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
263 words
A disease-prophylactic sex-device comprising in combination: an elongated water-impervious sheet having a substantially flat face and an opposite side face, having a top-end and an opposite bottom-end forming a height therebetween, having a right-edge and an opposite left-edge forming a width therebetween, and having a hole formed therein on said substantially flat face of the sheet at a location intermediate between said top end and said opposite bottom end of said height and between said left edge and said right edge of said width; a water-impervious closed-end sleeve extending from and integral and continuous with said opposite-side face of the sheet forming said hole on said flat face, said water-impervious sheet and said elongated water-impervious sleeve jointly comprising a unified single composition commonly-formed as a continuing unbroken-structure thereby water-impervious such that it is sealed against any potential leaking therethrough, said closed-end sleeve having opposite interior and exterior surfaces and being shaped as and functioning as a condom and forming free-space therein in communication with said hole, such that when a mans's sex organ is inserted and positioned therein, the sex organs of the man and of a female during copulation are segregated by the closed-end sleeve and said sheet is avoided; and at-least one cup-like means formed at a position spaced-below said closed-end sleeve and said hole formed thereby, each said cup-like means being positioned and adapted to collect and retain any liquid that has moved or been forced from said exterior or interior surface of said closed-end sleeve or from said hole and said free-space, toward said bottom into said cup-like means.
