Abstract
An improved apparatus for augmenting male potency generally includes a cylindrical vacuum chamber adapted to cover a male sex organ. The vacuum chamber has an open proximal end and a closed distal end. The distal end is tapered to provide an integral ramp for expanding a resilient cincture band onto the outside diameter of the vacuum chamber. A vacuum connector fitting is formed at the base of such ramp for evacuation of the vacuum chamber. Guard flanges help protect the fitting. The proximal end includes a cincture band groove defined about the outside diameter of the vacuum chamber, with a plurality of vent holes formed in the groove and pneumatically interconnecting the exterior of the vacuum chamber with its interior. A cincture band which has been expanded onto the outside diameter of the vacuum chamber and advanced to its proximal end initially resides in the cincture band groove, where it covers and seals the plurality of vent holes. Once desired engorgement is achieved, the cincture band is further advanced onto the base of the user's male sex organ which simultaneously vents negative pressure within the chamber through uncovering of the vent holes. The construction of the …
