Alarm clock prophylactic dispensing system

Abstract

The present invention provides a system for the storage and activation of a dispensing mechanism for a condom, or consdoms, within the housing of an alarm clock. The invention will comprise a storage area within the alarm clock; a dispensing mechanism within the alarm clock powered by the clock's electric power source, or by stored kinetic energy; and a button, switch or other means of manual or sensate activation, whereby the dispensing of a condom may be caused without the operator arising from his or her bed or sleeping area.

I claim:  
     
         1 . A storage area within an alarm clock comprising: a void within the housing of the alarm clock of sufficient volume to store a ceratin number of condoms. (Three may be the optimal number of condoms as this is the number of condoms within the typical package sold, and will allow for a smaller and more discrete storage area than a greater number would.) This storage area should ideally be located away from any heat producing elements of the alarm clock so as to provide the optimal storage temperature for the condoms, as indicated by the condom manufacturer. Additionally, this storage area should be free of any sharp edges or moving parts which might puncture or otherwise mutilate the condom packages or the condoms themselves. Finally, the design of the storage area should allow for sufficient ventilation to provide the optimal storage humidity for the condoms as indicated by the condom manufacturers.  
     
     
         2 . A condom dispensing system wherby the condoms stored in the storage area described in  claim 1  above could be ejected from that storage area. This dispensing system will ideally be comprised of a an undetermined number of rolling wheels or rollers which when activated would contact the surface of the condom wrapper and therby eject the wrapped condom from the storage area.  
     
     
         3 . The condom storage area as in  claim 1  above, where the dispensing system would comprise an arm or other device which would contact the edge of the condom wrapper and push the condom from the storage area.  
     
     
         4 . The condom storage area as in  claim 1  above, where the dispensing system would comprise any other means suitable to ejecting the condom from the storage area.  
     
     
         5 . A switching or activation system on an alarm clock comprising: a means for activating the condom dispensing mechanism described in  claim 2 ,  3  or  4  above, wherein the switching system includes a means for activating the dispensing system by means of a button or switch or other means of sensate activation.
