Abstract
Abstract A contraception and flavor delivery system (10) includes an extended tubular member (20) having a closed distal end (22) and an open proximal end (24). The contraception and delivery system (10) further includes a mechanism for flavor delivery (30) formed on an external surface of the tubular member (20). The mechanism for flavor delivery (30) includes at least one longitudinally extended tubular housing (40) having an open first end (42) and a closed second end (46) for containing a predetermined quantity of an ingestible flavored composition. The open first end (42) of tubular housing (40) is provided with a closure (44) adapted to release the ingestible flavored composition into a bodily orifice responsive to an external stimuli.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 19
Claim 1
Independent Claim
126 words
A contraception and flavor delivery system, comprising: a prophylactic element for at least partial insertion into a bodily orifice defining an extended tubular member, said tubular member having a closed distal end and an open proximal end for encompassing at least a portion of a male genital member; and, flavor delivery means formed on an external surface of said tubular member, said flavor delivery means adapted for dispensing an ingestible composition having a predetermined taste into said bodily orifice, said flavor delivery means including at least one tubular housing formed on said tubular member having an open first end and a closed second end, said tubular housing including closure means coupled to said open first end for releasing said ingestible composition responsive to an external stimuli.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
126 words
A contraception and flavor delivery system, comprising: a prophylactic element for at least partial insertion into a bodily orifice defining an extended tubular member, said tubular member having a closed distal end and an open proximal end for encompassing at least a portion of a male genital member; and, flavor delivery means formed on an external surface of said tubular member, said flavor delivery means adapted for dispensing an ingestible composition having a predetermined taste into said bodily orifice, said flavor delivery means including at least one tubular housing formed on said tubular member having an open first end and a closed second end, said tubular housing including closure means coupled to said open first end for releasing said ingestible composition responsive to an external stimuli.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
39 words
The contraception and flavor delivery system as recited in claim 1 wherein said flavor delivery system includes closure means coupled to said open first end of said tubular housing for releasing said ingestible composition responsive to an external stimuli.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
33 words
The contraception and flavor delivery system as recited in claim 2 wherein said closure means includes a frangible member for releasing said ingestible composition responsive to a predetermined frictional force being applied thereto.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
29 words
The contraception and flavor delivery system as recited in claim 2 wherein said closure means includes a sealing member having a solid first state and a liquid second state.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
28 words
The contraception and flavor delivery system as recited in claim 4 wherein said sealing member changes state and thereby releases said ingestible composition responsive to a predetermined temperature.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
32 words
The contraception and flavor delivery system as recited in claim 4 wherein said sealing member changes state and thereby releases said ingestible composition responsive to a solvent found in said bodily orifice.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
48 words
The contraception and flavor delivery system as recited in claim 1 wherein said flavor delivery means includes a plurality of tubular housings, each of said tubular housings extend longitudinally from an open first end to a closed second end for containing a predetermined quantity of said ingestible composition.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
28 words
The contraception and flavor delivery system as recited in claim 7 wherein said plurality of tubular housings are formed coaxially about a perimeter portion of said tubular member.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
32 words
The contraception and flavor delivery system as recited in claim 8 wherein said first and second ends of said plurality of tubular housings are longitudinally aligned each with respect to the other.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
29 words
The contraception and flavor delivery system as recited in claim 8 wherein said plurality of tubular housings are arranged with consecutive tubular housings being staggered in a longitudinal direction.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
38 words
The contraception and flavor delivery system as recited in claim 8 wherein each of said plurality of tubular housings extend helically from said first end to said second end in parallel relationship each with respect to the other.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
40 words
The contraception and flavor delivery system as recited in claim 7 wherein said flavor delivery system includes closure means coupled to said open first end of each said tubular housing for releasing said ingestible composition responsive to an external stimuli.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim
33 words
The contraception and flavor delivery system as recited in claim 12 wherein said closure means includes a frangible member for releasing said ingestible composition responsive to a predetermined frictional force being applied thereto.
Claim 15
Dependent Claim
29 words
The contraception and flavor delivery system as recited in claim 12 wherein said closure means includes a sealing member having a solid first state and a liquid second state.
Claim 16
Dependent Claim
28 words
The contraception and flavor delivery system as recited in claim 14 wherein said sealing member changes state and thereby releases said ingestible composition responsive to a predetermined temperature.
Claim 17
Dependent Claim
32 words
The contraception and flavor delivery system as recited in claim 14 wherein said sealing member changes state and thereby releases said ingestible composition responsive to a solvent found in said bodily orifice.
Claim 18
Dependent Claim
34 words
The contraception and flavor delivery system as recited in claim 1 wherein said flavor delivery means includes at least one recess formed in a wall of said tubular member for containing said ingestible composition.
Claim 19
Dependent Claim
35 words
The contraception and flavor delivery system as recited in claim 17 wherein said flavor delivery means includes closure means for releasing said ingestible composition responsive to an external stimuli, said closure means overlaying said recess.
