Patent ID: 7658195

Claim:
A male urinary incontinence control device comprising: a dorsal arm comprising a dorsal clamping portion having a hinge end and a free end, the dorsal clamping portion being configured for engaging a dorsal surface of a user's penis; a ventral arm comprising a ventral clamping portion having a hinge end and a free end, the ventral clamping portion being configured for engaging a ventral surface of a user's penis; an adjustable hinge connecting the hinge end of the dorsal arm clamping portion to the hinge end of the ventral arm clamping portion, the adjustable hinge comprising a pivot fixed to one of the ventral and dorsal arms adjacent its hinge end and about which the other of the ventral and dorsal arms can be selectively rotated between a closed position wherein the dorsal arm clamping portion is in opposition with the ventral arm clamping portion and an open position, the location of the pivot relative to the other of the ventral and dorsal arms being selectively adjustable to establish a desired spacing between the ventral and dorsal arms adjacent their hinge ends when in the closed position; and a latch attached to at least one of the ventral arm and the dorsal arm and configured for selectively securing the free end of the dorsal arm to the free end of the ventral arm when the ventral and dorsal arms are in the closed position, wherein the dorsal arm, ventral arm, and adjustable hinge are configured so that when the ventral and dorsal arms are in the closed position, they are substantially parallel to one another regardless of the selectively adjusted location of the pivot and the spacing between the ventral and dorsal arms and wherein the latch comprises a threaded rod portion and a cap portion that combine to form an extensible latch member having a selectively adjustable length, the extensible latch member being pivotably attached at a first end to one of the dorsal arm free end and the ventral arm free end and having a second end configured for engaging the other of the dorsal arm free end and the ventral arm free end to secure the ventral and dorsal arms are in the closed position.
