Venereal diseases such as syphilis, herpes, gonorrhea and most importantly AIDS, have been the major causes of sufferings and deaths of millions of people world wide. In addition, the consequential psychological, social and economic damages have caused unparalleled catastrophe. These diseases are mostly transmitted during sexual contacts. In other words they are transmitted via sexual organs when the two come in contact, be it by consensual sex or illicit sex. The transmittal of venereal diseases are also caused by the flow of associated fluids discharged from one uncovered genitalia to another unprotected sexual organ. One of the most affected groups who practice illicit sex are school age children. Rape is also a violent universal means of defying a person of his or her human dignity, psychological depravation and moral damage. Stopping the spread of AIDS /HIV virus and empowerment of sex victims is the main objective of this invention.

U.S. Pat. No. 875845 issued Jan. 7, 1908 to E. E. Perkins discloses a sexual armor comprising a rigid arch plate applied in the crotch thereof, with a segmental central slot, having a gate to open and close the slot and a lock to secure the device in position. This device allows urine to be splattered rather than the normal flow. Further more, the device is positioned flat against the opening of the genital. Such direct contact of the device with the perforated surface flatly placed against the opening of the genital would allow sexual discharge, i.e. in the case of external ejaculation, even without penetration, to flow into the opening of the organ and enable the transmittal of the disease, thus infecting the person. Further more this device does not teach a method of fully using the toilet, especially to pass stool, without taking off the sexual armor. U.S. Pat. No. 4,599,751 issued Jul. 15, 1986 to H. E Bouwhuis discloses a chain mail pants with close fitting legs and a lockable belt for this purpose. This would have to be custom fitted so that access cannot be attained by pushing the garment aside at the legs. It would also be quite confining and uncomfortable. The main drawback of this device is that it does not impede performance of consensual sex especially among the young sexually active population. The wearer can always take it off or be forced to take it off for any purpose. U.S. Pat. No. 5,368,050 issued Nov. 29, 1994 to J. P. Donelan discloses a rape prevention device off or be forced to take it off for any purpose. U.S. Pat. No. 5,368,050 issued Nov. 29, 1994 to J. P. Donelan discloses a rape prevention device including a belt adapted to encircle the waist of a wearer and a shield portion extending through the legs and crotch of the wearer from a rear region of the belt to the front region of the belt. The shield portion includes a plurality of shield segments adapted to cover the genitalia of the wearer. This invention while protectively covering only the genitalia of the wearer against rape, does not teach a method of urination or passing stool without unlocking and removing the device. Another shortcoming of this device is that it does not provide adequate protection against anal sex. U.S. Pat. No. 5,613,251 issued Mar. 25, 1997 to C. N. Yandell discloses a device to prevent rape of a person wearing trousers or shorts in the form of locking and reinforced by an inter-lockable cut resistant belt system. This invention also concerns only specific category of rapists, such as the non aggressive type. Further more it does not give any protection against anal sex or rape.
The world is in an age when anal sex is now accepted as normal way of life. As the result anal rape has become an additional problem to people's social life. None of the referenced patents teaches a protective method against anal sex. Further more non of the referenced patents teaches a method which provides full protection to a person against genital and anal sex and resultant transmittal of venereal disease. Quite importantly, there is no invention which teaches method of enabling the wearer, especially sexually active youngsters to urinate and pass stool in a normal manner without unlocking and removing the protective cover especially when they are away from home.
The Invention
The present invention relates to protective covers for sexual organs. More specifically, the device in this invention relates to a protective cover means which encloses and covers sexual organs such as the genitals and anal opening to prevent contacts with other sexual organs and the resultant discharges, thus to ultimately eliminate any chance of transmittal of and infection by venereal diseases as well as to minimize fear of rape. It is designed to function as security underwear.
1. The main object of this present invention is to stop contact between sexual organs and penetration thereof, which contact might cause transmittal of venereal diseases.
2. Another object of the invention is to provide protection against illicit sex, an act which might cause infection by transmittal of venereal diseases, as well as resultant psychological damages.
3. Still another object of the present invention is to prevent any external sexual discharges from coming in contact with unprotected sexual organs, thus stopping transmittal of venereal diseases carried by the said fluid.
4. Yet another object of the present invention is to enable the wearer of the device to use toilet freely without inconvenience and possible danger of having to take off the protective device.
5. Still another object of the present invention is to enable the wearer of the device to avoid carrying the key to the lock of the device thus minimizing any chance of committing consensual or illicit sex especially the young and the unmarried people.
6. Yet an additional object of this invention is to help minimization of multiple sex partnership, thus to indirectly discourage infection by venereal diseases outside two permanent sex partners.
7. It is also the purpose of this invention to empower those who are in constant fear of becoming victims of rape.
The protective cover device in this invention is to enclose, cover and protect the genital and the anal opening of a person against any chance of direct and indirect contact between the sexual organs. It does so by preventing any contact between the sexual organs and by stopping the sexual discharge of one person before it reaches the sexual organ of the other. The genital cover portion and the anal cover portion of the device are connected at the crotch and further fastened and locked on to the front and back region of the belt around the waist. This way the protective cover is also in position to protect the wearer from rape and performance of illicit sex. A major achievement of this device is that it is to allow normal usage of toilet without having to take off the device. It therefore empowers the would be rape victims to protect themselves and be in charge of daily lives without fear of being raped. The most important benefit of this device is that it prevents transmittal of venereal diseases, most importantly HIV virus and therefore saves millions of people from death by AIDS.
These and other objects and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent and more readily appreciated from the following detailed description of the presently preferred exemplary embodiment, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawing, of which:

During urination the urine will flow out through the slot of the inner cover into the outer channel.
As shown in
When urination is finished the underwear is pulled up over the protective cover thus forcing the outer channel to close over slot 23 of the inner cover. Alternatively spring loaded or resilient hinging mechanism biased toward the inner cover would automatically close the slot of the inner cover even without the underpants being pulled up. The combination of the positioning, the point of hinging, the direction of opening, and the controlling mechanism of the extent of opening of the outer channel is such that it is virtually impossible for a male genital to touch the wearer's genitalia. When the outer channel covers the urination slot it would be impossible for any sexual fluid to flow into the enclosed genitalia, thus eliminating any chance of transmittal of venereal diseases via sexual contact.

When wearing the protective device for protection of female genital, the wearer fastens strap 36 to the back portion of security steel belt 32; positions closed frame 34 over the ridges of the buttocks around anal opening; ensures tight connection between closed anal frame 34 and inner cover 20 over the genital by means of connector strap 31; pulls up the vertical front side strap 29; and finally locks it on security steel belt 32 by means of locking device 33.
Both front and back vertical straps can also be fastened to suspenders if necessary. Where suspenders are used to secure the device it should be the type of suspenders which cannot be pulled off over the head or over the shoulders. This requires a strap around the neck area to which the suspenders can be fastened. In such case the strap around the neck should be small or narrow enough to prevent easy removal over the head or shoulders. Both the suspenders and straps should be made of materials which are too hard to cut or break.
To reinforce the security of the protective cover on the wearer, additional straps 39 can be provided around the periphery of the cover device and securely locked or permanently connected around the thighs. This arrangement is most preferred when the wearer wears the protective cover for female genitalia only. With this arrangement the wearer does not have to take off the device in order to use the toilet.
The arrangement as described above can only provide security against sexual contacts between female genitalia and male genitalia. However it does not provide protection against performance of anal sex. This problem can only be solved by providing yet another protective cover for anal opening.
As best illustrated in
To ensure the desired full protection against anal sex, additional straps can be provided at appropriate points on the periphery of the anal cover frame to prevent any twisting of the cover system. These straps are to be tied around the thighs and securely locked in position.
With this arrangement both the genitalia and the anal opening are fully and securely protected. If for any reason the user wishes to wear only one of the protective covers all that is necessary is to remove the unwanted cover and securely fasten the straps to the remaining protective cover.
