Abstract
Abstract This invention relates to a method for packaging birth control and disease preventing device that has sheath and shield, and more particularly to a method having steps including: pleats the protecting shield toward tubular sheath forming a pleated star-like shape near the closed end of the sheath, bends the pleated star-like shape portion of the shield close to the tubular sheath forming a whirled-like cylindrical tubular, rolls the secure-and-rolled-up ring in the longitudinal direction toward the closed end of the sheath, and packs the rolled-up device into a water proof sealed container.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
232 words
A method for packaging birth control and disease preventing device which having a tubular sheath and a protecting shield and a secure-and-roll-up ring and adhesive tabs, and said tubular sheath having a closed end and an open end, and said secure-and-roll-up ring is integrated with said protecting shield at about the center of said shield and integrated with said tubular sheath at said open end of said sheath, and said device is made of thin flexible and resilient materials used in presently available condoms, comprising the steps of: (a) pleating said protecting shield toward said tubular sheath forming a pleated star-shape with a plurality of points, or spines, near the closed end of said sheath, placing said adhesive tabs in the longitudinal direction along said sheath; (b) bending said pleated star-shape portion of said shield close to said tubular sheath forming a whirled-like cylindrical tubular, and bending said adhesive tabs inwardly to said closed end of said sheath if said tabs extended beyond said closed end of said tubular sheath; (c) starting from said open end of said tubular sheath and using said secure-and-rolled-up ring rolling said whirled-like cylindrical tubular in the longitudinal direction toward said closed end of said tubular sheath forming a general doughnut-like rolled-up formation near said closed end with said closed end at the center; and (d) placing said rolled-up formation into a container and sealing said container.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
232 words
A method for packaging birth control and disease preventing device which having a tubular sheath and a protecting shield and a secure-and-roll-up ring and adhesive tabs, and said tubular sheath having a closed end and an open end, and said secure-and-roll-up ring is integrated with said protecting shield at about the center of said shield and integrated with said tubular sheath at said open end of said sheath, and said device is made of thin flexible and resilient materials used in presently available condoms, comprising the steps of: (a) pleating said protecting shield toward said tubular sheath forming a pleated star-shape with a plurality of points, or spines, near the closed end of said sheath, placing said adhesive tabs in the longitudinal direction along said sheath; (b) bending said pleated star-shape portion of said shield close to said tubular sheath forming a whirled-like cylindrical tubular, and bending said adhesive tabs inwardly to said closed end of said sheath if said tabs extended beyond said closed end of said tubular sheath; (c) starting from said open end of said tubular sheath and using said secure-and-rolled-up ring rolling said whirled-like cylindrical tubular in the longitudinal direction toward said closed end of said tubular sheath forming a general doughnut-like rolled-up formation near said closed end with said closed end at the center; and (d) placing said rolled-up formation into a container and sealing said container.
Claim 3
Independent Claim
260 words
A method for packaging birth control and disease preventing device which having a tubular sheath and a protecting shield and a secure-and-roll-up ring and fastening strands or tapes, and said tubular sheath having a closed end and an open end, and said secure-and-roll-up ring is integrated with said protecting shield at about the center of said shield and integrated with said tubular sheath at said open end of said sheath, and said device is made of thin flexible and resilient materials used in presently available condoms, comprising the steps of: (e) pleating said protecting shield toward said tubular sheath forming a pleated star-shape with a plurality of points, or spines, near the closed end of said sheath, placing said strands or tapes in the parallel formation and in the longitudinal direction extended beyond said closed end of said sheath; (f) bending said pleated star-shape portion of said shield close to said tubular sheath forming a whirled-like cylindrical tubular, and rolling and folding the portion of said fastening strands or tapes, that extended beyond said close end of said sheath, inwardly and placing the rolled and folded strands or tapes close to said closed end of said sheath; (g) starting from said open end of said tubular sheath and using said secure-and-rolled-up ring rolling said whirled-like cylindrical tubular in the longitudinal direction toward said closed end of said tubular sheath forming a general doughnut shape rolled-up formation near said closed end with said closed end at the center; and (h) placing said rolled-up formation into a container and sealing said container.
Claim 4
Independent Claim
260 words
A method for packaging birth control and disease preventing device which having a tubular sheath and a protecting shield and a secure-and-roll-up ring and fastening strands or tapes, and said tubular sheath having a closed end and an open end, and said secure-and-roll-up ring is integrated with said protecting shield at about the center of said shield and integrated with said tubular sheath at said open end of said sheath, and said device is made of thin flexible and resilient materials used in presently available condoms, comprising the steps of: (e) pleating said protecting shield toward said tubular sheath forming a pleated star-shape with a plurality of points, or spines, near the closed end of said sheath, placing said strands or tapes in the parallel formation and in the longitudinal direction extended beyond said closed end of said sheath; (f) bending said pleated star-shape portion of said shield close to said tubular sheath forming a whirled-like cylindrical tubular, and rolling and folding the portion of said fastening strands or tapes, that extended beyond said close end of said sheath, inwardly and placing the rolled and folded strands or tapes close to said closed end of said sheath; (g) starting from said open end of said tubular sheath and using said secure-and-rolled-up ring rolling said whirled-like cylindrical tubular in the longitudinal direction toward said closed end of said tubular sheath forming a general doughnut shape rolled-up formation near said closed end with said closed end at the center; and (h) placing said rolled-up formation into a container and sealing said container.
Claim 5
Independent Claim
228 words
A method for packaging birth control and disease preventing device which having a tubular sheath and a protecting shield and a secure-and-roll-up ring and adhesive means and linen, and said adhesive means and linen are located within the outer rim of said shield, and said tubular sheath has a closed end and an open end, and said secure-and-roll-up ring is integrated with said protecting shield at about the center of said shield and integrated with said tubular sheath at said open end of said sheath, and said device is made of thin flexible and resilient materials used in presently available condoms, comprising the steps of: (i) pleating said protecting shield, together with said adhesive means and linen, toward said tubular sheath forming a pleated star-shape with a plurality of points, or spines, near the closed end of said sheath; (j) bending said pleated star-shape portion of said shield and the portion of adhesive means and linen close to said tubular sheath forming a whirled-like cylindrical tubular; (k) starting from said open end of said tubular sheath and using said secure-and-rolled-up ring rolling said whirled-like cylindrical tubular in the longitudinal direction toward said closed end of said tubular sheath forming a general doughnut-like rolled-up formation near said closed end with said closed end at the center; and (l) placing said rolled-up formation into a container and sealing said container.
