Claim 2

A tubular protective device for protection against a transfer of infectious matter during sexual intercourse consisting of: (a) a flexible, thin-walled tube having a sufficiently large first diameter to permit movement of a penis within said tube during coitus, said tube having a closed end and an open end, said open end having; (i) a collar-shaped, outwardly extending conical portion, and (ii) an elastic ring integrally connected with said collar-shaped portion having a second diameter larger than said first diameter; wherein said flexible, thin-walled tube is a polymer material, said polymer material being selected from the group consisting of polyethylenes, polyurethanes, and derivatives thereof; and (b) a means for retaining located in said closed end of said flexible, thin-walled tube and having a diameter sufficient to maintain said means for retaining in a vagina of an user.

Claim 3

A tubular protective device for protection against at transfer of infectious matter during sexual intercourse, said protective device consisting of: (a) a thin-walled, flexible tube having; (i) a closed end, (ii) an open end, and (iii) a first diameter sufficiently large to permit movement of a penis within said tube during coitus; (b) an outwardly extending collar-shaped means for radially stretching said open end, said collar-shaped means having a second diameter larger than the first diameter and attached to the open end of the tube; wherein said flexible, thin-walled tube is a polymer material, said polymer material being selected from the group consisting of polyethylenes, polyurethanes, and derivatives thereof; and (c) a means for retaining located in said closed end of said flexible, thin-walled tube and having a diameter sufficient to maintain said means for retaining in a vagina of an user.

Claim 4

A tubular protective device for protection against at transfer of infectious matter during sexual intercourse, said protective device consisting of: (a) a thin-walled, flexible tube having; (i) a closed end, (ii) an open end, and (iii) a first diameter sufficiently large to permit movement of a penis within said tube during coitus; (b) an outwardly extending collar-shaped means for radially stretching said open end, said collar-shaped means having a second diameter larger than the first diameter and attached to the open end of the tube; wherein said flexible, thin-walled tube is a polymer material, said polymer material being selected from the group consisting of polyethylenes, polyurethanes, and derivatives thereof; and (c) a means for retaining located in said closed end of said flexible, thin-walled tube and having a diameter sufficient to maintain said means for retaining in a vagina of an user.

Claim 5

The tubular protective device of claim 2 wherein said means for retaining is affixed to said flexible, thin-walled tube.

Claim 6

A tubular protective device for protection against a transfer of infectious matter during sexual intercourse comprising: (a) a flexible, thin-walled tube having a sufficiently large first diameter to permit movement of a penis within said tube during coitus, said flexible thin-walled tube having a closed end, and an open end, said open end having: (i) a collar-shaped, outwardly extending portion; and (ii) a first elastic ring integrally connected with said collar-shaped portion having a second diameter larger than said first diameter; (b) a means for retaining located in said closed end of said flexible, thin-walled tube and having a diameter sufficient to maintain said means for retaining in a vagina of an user.

Claim 7

A tubular protective device for protection against a transfer of infectious matter during sexual intercourse comprising: (a) a flexible, thin-walled tube having a sufficiently large first diameter to permit movement of a penis within said tube during coitus, said flexible thin-walled tube having a closed end, and an open end, said open end having: (i) a collar-shaped, outwardly extending portion; and (ii) a first elastic ring integrally connected with said collar-shaped portion having a second diameter larger than said first diameter; (b) a means for retaining located in said closed end of said flexible, thin-walled tube and having a diameter sufficient to maintain said means for retaining in a vagina of an user.
