Abstract:
A male urinary incontinence device comprises a frame defining an opening for insertion of a penis, the frame having a penis-engaging portion against which a penis is to be pressed and having a shaft supported on the frame for reciprocative movement toward and away from the penis-engaging-portion, the shaft having a penis-engaging pad on an end of the shaft facing the penis-engaging portion of the frame, whereby pressure can be applied to the urethra of a penis by movement of the shaft toward the penis-engaging portion of the frame, and the shaft having a rachet cooperable with a pawl supported on the frame and spring biased into engagement with the rachet, whereby the position of the pad relative to the penis engaging portion of the frame can be maintained until the pawl is withdrawn from the rachet to permit the pad to move away from the penis-engaging portion of the frame.
