I recently had nothing to do at work, so I had my computer search
for every patent in the last 20 years involving condoms. Here are some of the
amazing, amusing results:
Patent # 5,490,525 a condom that can be built into a piece of clothing
Patent # 5,471,998 a condom holder for use in applying a condom onto a penis
Patent # 5,458,114 a micro-condom, covering only the head of the penis
Patent # 5,429,141 an automatic condom, I'm not sure how this works, but
apparently it puts a condom on you whenever you get a boner.
Patent # 5,413,117 a squeegee action condom, leaves your penis clean & dry by a
"squeegee or wiping action" when you remove the condom
Patent # 5,377,692 a condom with built in vibrator
Patent # 5,353,811 a trap to be used by women who think they might be raped. A
cylindrical device with spikes and blades on its inside,
designed to damage a would-be rapists penis.
