Docket No. 341
MALE ORGAN CONDITIONER ACCESSORY
.
Bac~ground of the Invention
This invention pertains to an accessory that
facilitates use of a Male~Organ Conditioner device which ~ ~
is described in U.S. Patent Application Serial No. 530,523,
filed September 9, 1383, now Patent No. 4,539,980.
The plan view of the Male Organ Conditioner
device described in the cited patent is depicted in
FIG. 5 of this application. The device in FIG. 5
comprises a central elastic, preferably latex, ring 10
which has a circular cross section and has two finger
gripping loops 11 and 12 molded integrally with the
central ring. The elements 11 and 12 are engaged by
the users fingers to stretch out the ring in four
~directions, preferably so it will ~it over the penis of
a male. When the gripping elements 11 and 12 are
released, the central ring contracts onto the base or
root of the penis such as to prevent outflow of veinous
blood from the penis and yet permit blood to be
manually massaged into the penis. The device is for
creating~and maintaining an erect penis so that
pleasurable sexual intercourse can be accomplished. In
contemplation of intercouræe after the devlce has been
deposited on the penis, the male user pres~es his hand
in the groin or crotch area and massages blood
forwardly into the penis against the ela~tic pressure

c.reated by ring 10. When a massage stroke ls termlna~ed, the
elastic ring acts to prevent outflow. After seve.ral massage
strokes, enough blood will be forced into the peniæ and enough
pressure will be developed to produce a lasting erection.
Applying the elastic ring to the penis re~uires a little
bit of deftness to stretch the central ring quadrilaterally so it
clears the outside of the penis as it is being applied. This is
not as convenient as it could be and it takes ~ime when some might
consider that time is of the essence. Obviously a devlce that
keeps the user prepared to apply the ring quickly and easily can
be highly advantageous and that is the objective of the present
invention. -
Summary of the Invention -
The invention is a device for disposing an elastic ring
in a stretched condition on a cylindrical rigid sleeve so that the
sleeve may be slipped over the penis and the ring slid off of the
sleeve to contract on the penis and control blood flow to the
penis for facilitating obtaining and maintaining penile erection,
comprislng: a member having a conical part and a generally
circular base part from which said conical part extends and a
cyllndrical part joined coaxially with said circular base part,
said cylindrical part having an outside diameter smaller than the
outside diameter of said base part such that an annular shoulder
is defined on said conical part where said conical part ~oins said
cylindrical part, said shoulder having an annular groove -
concen~ric to said cylindrical part, a cylindrical rigid sleeve
slidable onto sald cyllndrlcal part of sald member, sald sleeve
-

having axially opposite ends one of which extends into said
annular groove ln saicl shoulder, and releasable retaining means
for retaining said sleeve on said cylindrical part to facilitate
sliding said elastic ring over said conical part of said member
and onto said sleeve, release of said retaining means enabling
said sleeve to be separa~ed from said cylindrical part of said
member with said elastic ring on it.
How the accessory is constructed and used will now be
described in detail in reference to the accompanying drawing.

Description of a Preferred Embodiment
FIG. 1 shows the accessory as being comprised
of two separable parts, a cone 15 and an organ
conditioner carrier and applicator sleeve 16. These
parts are preferably molded of a xigid plastic
material. The carrier sleeve 16 comprises a
cylindrical portion 17 which has an integral annular
rib 18 that provides an annular shoulder 19. As can be
seen in FIG. 2, the interior edge of the cylindrical
portion 17 of carrier sleeve 16 is beveled radially
outwardly as indicated where the reference numeral 20
is applied. The bevel facilitates slipping sleeve 16
over the end of a cylindrical portion 21 extending
coaxially from the base of cone 15. The cone has an
annular shoulder 22 which has an annular groove 23.
The cylindrical end of sleeve 16 makes a relatively
loose fit in groove 23. As is evident in FIG. 2, means
are provided for temporarily latching sleeve 17 on the
cylindrical portion 21 of the cone 15. The latch means

constitutes a detent assembly which, as can be seen in
FIG. 2, is similar to the well known telescoping toilet
paper holder spindle in that it comprises a hollow
cylinder 25 in which there is a plunger 26 which is
biased in an axial direction by a compression spring
27. The cylinder 25 and plunger 26 have reduced
diameter axially extending detent pins 28 and 29
integral with them. These detent pins project through
diametrically opposite holes 34 in cylindrical part 21
at the base of the cone 15. An axial force on plunger
26 causes its detent 27 to retract in hole 34
sufficiently to allow the plastic carrier sleeve 16 to
be slipped off of cylindrical part 21 of the cone 15.
The detent assembly will remain in place because the
detents are always forced outwardly by the spring 27
and the detents only need to retract until their outer
ends are flush with the outside of the cylinder 21 to
let the sleeve 16 slide off.
Considering FIG. 1 in conjunction with FIG.
3, one may see that the lower edge of the carrier
sleeve is cut away, that is, there is a wide transverse
slot 30 cut across the carrier sleeve to thereby let ~ -
two arcuate wall sections 31 and 32 remain~ Each wall
section thus has a beveled edged ~uch as the one marked
33. FIG. 4 illustrates how when the section 31 of
sleeve 16 is rotated on cone base 21, the beveled edge
33 reaches the detent 28, for example, and wedges it
and causes it to plunge back into the wall of
cyclindrical cone extension 21 so that the sleeve can
be slid off of the cone. FIG~ 1 shows how, before the
sleeve is rotated, the detent pin 28 which ls driven
outwardly by spring 27 lies under the rib 18 to thereby
hold the carr~er sleeve on the cylindrical part 21 of
the cone.
FIG. 6 .is for demonstrating how the or~an

conditioner ring 10 of FIG. 5 is pushed over cone 15 to
expand the ring 10 as indicated in phantom lines until
its diameter is increased to the diameter of the cone
base whereupon it can be slipped off of the cone and
onto the carrier sleeve 16 which is shown in section in
FIG. 6. It is desirable to have adequate clearance in
the axial direction between the shoulder 22 on the cone
and and the shoulder of rib 18 on the carrier sleeve
16. If there is not adequate clearance to prevent the
high friction latex central ring 10 of the conditioner
device from rubbing against the lower edge of the cone,
rotation of sleeve 16 to unlatch it for bein~ slid off
of the cone can be very difficult. It is desirable to
wet the latex to make it slip more easily over the cone
and avoid rolling and twisting action by the central
ring ~0 when deposited on carrier sleeve 16. The
carrier sleeve is ready for removal with the latex
sleeve on it as indicated by the phantom depiction of
carrier sleeve 16 in FIG. 7.
FIG. 8 shows the carrier sleeve 16 separated
from the cone 15. A5 mentioned earlier, the carrier as
depicted in FIG. 8 with the elastlc ring on it is now
ready for being slipped over the male penis to its base
so the elastic ring can be slipped off of the caxrier
sleeve to contract onto the penis. Massaging of blood
i~to the penis is then undertaken and the latex r~ng
~revent~ t~e bl ood ~1 ow~ ~ baak lr~ e C~ ~1 atory
system for the duration o~ the erection.
The separable sleeve 16 provides a great
~0 con~enience in that a~ter the elastic ring 10 is
deposited on it, it may put in a man's pocket and
carried to a site where sexual intercourse is
contemplated and it will be rPady for retreival and
applicatlon of the elastic ring when the time for
sexual intercourse arrives.
