Abstract

The male incontinence pouch allows the user to determine for himself whether he wishes to apply the pouch around the penis only or the penis and scrotum. The incontinence pouch has an outer liquid-proof polyethylene layer. A soft fibrous nonwoven material is attached to the polyethylene layer. An inner liquid-permeable material is applied to the nonwoven material. An absorption layer is disposed between the polyethylene layer and the liquid-permeable material to form a laminate. An edge portion of the liquid-permeable material is attached to another edge portion of the liquid-permeable material so that a cavity is formed therebetween at a short side surface of the incontinence pouch. The laminate is folded inwardly along a main folding line so that a side wall is formed, the side wall has an inside and an outside so that the inside has an outer base line and the short side surface has an inner base line. An underside and an upperside are formed by conically folding the inside outwardly along a top folding line to form a pleat. The top folding line is disposed between the outer base line and the inner base line. The underside is delineated by the inner base line and the top folding line. The upperside is delineated by the outer base line and the top folding line. The pleat permits an increase in available length of the upper edge.-Remarks Reconsideration of the application is respectfully requested. The specification was rejected due to improper idiomatic English. The specification has now been rewritten and should be in full conformance.
