Abstract
An improved male urinal device comprises an upper thin walled sheath, an intermediate transition zone having a thicker wall, and a lower stem portion having a still thicker wall. The stem portion includes a stem, a bulbous portion above the stem and a conical or funnel section joined to the upper portion of the bulb and to the lower end of the transition zone. A resilient ring of foam cushion material is bonded to an upper portion of the inner surface of the sheath and has a second adhesive surface which engages and forms a seal around the penis. The present invention also provides a method of applying a suitable adhesive to an inner surface of the male urinal device. The method comprises employing a transfer mandrel having a high release outer coating of a suitable high release material, applying a suitable pressure sensitive adhesive in various patterns, rolling the male urinal device onto the transfer mandrel thereby causing the adhesive to adhere to an inner surface of the male urinal device. Re-rolling of the male urinal device causes the release of the adhesive from the transfer mandrel thereby causing it to be transferred to an inner surface of the male urinal device.
