Attorney, Agent or FirmInternational ClassA61F 5/41 (20060101)AbstractA male erecting device including an open-ended penile tube adapted to be fitted over a non-erect penis and sealed against the torso around the base of the organ, and a vacuum pump operable to produce a vacuum within the tube, the vacuum normally producing an erection in many types of impotence. A specially designed vacuum regulating valve provides an accurate, finely adjustable limitation on the maximum vacuum which may be established in the penile tube, which is necessary for the safety and well being of the user, to prevent possible discomfort, pain or even damage to the penis. Valves are also provided for instantly relieving the vacuum entirely if the user should experience pain or discomfort, for relieving the vacuum automatically after a predetermined time to limit the exposure time of the penis to vacuum, and to disable the device completely for a further time period after cessation of the vacuum. The entire device is small, compact and entirely self-contained, requiring no connections for pneumatic or electric lines to any equipment remote from the device itself. | |
