Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to an oral prophylactic device and more particularly pertains to protecting a person from being transmitted a disease while performing oral sex on a woman.

The use of prophylactic devices is known in the prior art. More specifically, prophylactic devices heretofore devised and utilized for the purpose of preventing the transmission of disease are known to consist basically of familiar, expected and obvious structural configurations, notwithstanding the myriad of designs encompassed by the crowded prior art that have been developed for the fulfillment of countless objectives and requirements.

By way of example, U.S. Pat. No. 4,949,731 to Harding discloses an oral prophylactic device comprising elastic flexible material to conform to the mouth for oral use. U.S. Pat. No. 5,409,016 to Bloodsaw and U.S. Pat. No. 5,649,549 to Saba disclose additional contraceptive devices for oral sex to prevent the spread of disease.

While these devices fulfill their respective, particular objective and requirements, the aforementioned patents do not describe an oral prophylactic device for protecting a person from being transmitted a disease while performing oral sex on a woman.

In this respect, the oral prophylactic device according to the present invention substantially departs from the conventional concepts and designs of the prior art, and in doing so provides an apparatus primarily developed for the purpose of protecting a person from being transmitted a disease while performing oral sex on a woman.

Therefore, it can be appreciated that there exists a continuing need for a new and improved oral prophylactic device that can be used for protecting a person from being transmitted a disease while performing oral sex on a woman. In this regard, the present invention substantially fulfills this need.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

In the view of the foregoing disadvantages inherent in the known types of prophylactic devices now present in the prior art, the present invention provides an improved oral prophylactic device. As such, the general purpose of the present invention, which will be described subsequently in greater detail, is to provide a new and improved oral prophylactic device that has all the advantages of the prior art and none of the disadvantages.

To attain this, the present invention essentially comprises a peripheral frame constructed of a thick and pliable latex material. The peripheral frame forms a central opening. The peripheral frame includes an upper segment, a lower segment, and opposed side segments in a generally square configuration. The lower segment has an arcuate central portion. The peripheral frame includes four corners each having a flex slot formed therein. A thin layer of latex is disposed loosely within the central opening of the peripheral frame.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the preferred embodiment of the oral prophylactic device constructed in accordance with the principles of the present invention.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

With reference now to the drawings, and in particular, to FIG. 1 thereof, the preferred embodiment of the new and improved oral prophylactic device embodying the principles and concepts of the present invention and generally designated by the reference number 10 will be described.

Specifically, it will be noted in the various figures that the device relates to an oral prophylactic device for protecting a person from being transmitted a disease while performing oral sex on a woman. In its broadest context, the device consists of a peripheral frame and a thin layer of latex. Such components are individually configured and correlated with respect to each other so as to attain the desired objective.

The peripheral frame 12 is constructed of a thick and pliable latex material. This allows the peripheral frame 12 to be properly positioned between the legs of a woman. The peripheral frame 12 forms a central opening. The peripheral frame 12 includes an upper segment 14 , a lower segment 16 , and opposed side segments 18 in a generally square configuration. The lower segment 16 has an arcuate central portion 20 . The arcuate central portion 20 is provided with a greater degree of flexibility than the rest of the peripheral frame 12 . The peripheral frame 12 includes four corners 22 each having a flex slot 24 formed therein. The flex slot 24 facilitates the overall flexibility of the peripheral frame 12 .

The thin layer of latex 26 is disposed loosely within the central opening of the peripheral frame 12 . The thin layer of latex 26 will be positioned over the private parts of the woman. Additionally, the thin layer of latex 26 can optionally be removed from the peripheral frame 12 and replaced prior to a next usage.

As to the manner of usage and operation of the present invention, the same should be apparent from the above description. Accordingly, no further discussion relating to the manner of usage and operation will be provided.

With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized that the optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of the invention, to include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function and the manner of operation, assembly and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are intended to be encompassed by the present invention.
