Abstract

ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE
The present invention provides a facial prophylactic comprising a face cover with securing portions for holding the face cover tightly against the face and over the mouth of the user of the facial prophylactic.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a prophylactic specifically designed to cover ones face allowing safe oral sex.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Until very recently, even the mention of oral sex has been frowned upon. However, this is not the reality of the situation and many cases of mouth diseases are arising as the result of oral sex. The number of` such cases has risen dramatically due to the recent AIDS scare, where people of-ten feel that AIDS can be avoided through oral sex. According to a recent doctor survey, patients are now being seen on a daily basis with diseases such as syphilis, gonorrhea, herpes and even AIDS of the mouth. There is therefore a very strong need for the development of a facial prophylactic.

SUMMARY OF THE PRESENT INVENTION

The present invention provides a facia~ prophylactic specifically designed to allow oral sex without experiencing disease related problems such as those listed above. In particular, the facial prophylactic of the present invention comprises a face cover with securing means for holding the face cover tightly against the face and over the mouth of` a person using the facial prophylactic. The face cover is then provided with an integral stretchable portion which when not in use is planar with the face cover and which is stretched outwardly by the tongue of the user.
.
As will be appreciated from the above, the face cover ~ Z7'~3~i2 .- -- 2 allows oral sex but does not permit skin to skin contact between parties thereby avoiding the ability to communicate disease which might otherwise result because of such skin to skin contact.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

The above as well as other advantages and features of the present invention will be described in greater detail according to the preferred embodiments of the present invention in which;

Figure 1 is a plan view of a facial prophylactic according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention;

Figures 2 and 3 are side views of a person using the facial prophylactic of Figure l;

~' ~- Figure 4 is a front view of a person using a facial -` prophylactic according to a different preferred embodiment of : the present invention;

Figures 5 and 6 are side views of the facial prophylactic of Figure 4 in different positions of use;

Figures 7 and 8 are sectional views through the facial prophylactic of Figures 5 and 6.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION ACCORDING TO THE PREFERRED
EMBODIMENTS OF THE PRESENT INVENTION~

Figure 1 shows a facial prophylactic generally indicated at 1. This facial prophylactic comprises a main body ~2'7~L352 portion 3 which provides a facial cover as shown in Figures 2 and 3 of the drawings. This face cover as well as the remainder of the prophylactic is made from a stretchable material such as for example LATEX or SILICON used for other types of prophylactic's or condoms already available in the market place.

Provided generally centrally of the face cover is a region 5 integral with the face cover but made e.g. by thlnning of the material to be more stretchable than the remainder of the face cover. This stretchable portion is bordered by a reinforced region 7 as shown in Figure 1.

Also provided on the facial prophylactic are means for holding it tightly against a users face with these means being in the Form of ear fitting openings 9. The entire facial prophylactic is shaped and sized such that with the ear fittings 9 in place, the facial prophylactic is pulled tightly up against ones face with the stretchable region 5 fitted directly over the mouth and allowing ones tongue to penetrate through the main body portion of the face cover while still being covered by the stretchable portion. This is best seen in Figure ~ of the drawings.

Figures 4 through 8 of the drawings show a modified version of the facial prophylactic generally indicated at 11.
This particular prophylactic comprises a face cover portion 13 having a more stretchable portion or region 15. Note as seen in Figure 7 of the drawings, the lower edge of the face cover extends down to a chin covering position and upwardly to a position just below the nose of the user.

In this particular arrangement, the means for holding the facial prophylactic in position comprises upper and lower gum and lip fitting portions 17 and 19 respectively. There is an opening provided between portions 17 and 1~ leaving the more stretchable region 15 exposed for tongue penetration through the face cover 15 while being covered by portion 15 as best seen in Figure 8 of the drawings. Portions 17 and 19 are trapped between the gums and the lips as shown -to hold the face cover in position. Different features may further be added to the facial prophylactic~ For instance, the material used to make the prophylactic, i.e. material such as LATEX noted above can be flavoured to avoid the otherwise undesirable taste of the LATEX. Furthermore, specific skin lubricants can be applied to the inside of the face cover to avoid chafing against the skin of the person wearing the face cover. The exterior surface of the face cover and in particular the more stretchable region can additionally be lubricated with lubricating materials similar to those found on a standard condom. In addition, the exterior surface of the more stretchable region on the facial prophylactic can be provided with ribbing or the like, again consistent with different condom designs.

Although various preferred embodiments of the invention have been described in detail, it will be appreciated by those skill in the art that variations may be made without departing from the spirit of the invention or the scope of the appended claims
