Description

THE VESSEL OF MENSTRUATION

Background Art

[1] There are several inventions to deal with the discharges from the body such as menstrual bloods, leucorrhoea or whites and some of them are popular in public. All these inventions can be roughly divided by 5 types.

[2] The 1^st one is pad- type sanitary napkin of the figure 1, which is one of the most popular type and can be put on externally around women's vulva and make it absorb the discharges from the vagina.

[3] Likewise, the 2nd most popular way is the tampon of the figure 2, which has to be put on inside of the vagina for the discharges not to be drained outside of the vagina and make it absorb. This invention has been permitted theUSA patent no.4, 412,833 in Nov.1st of 1983 as a name of "Tampon Applicator" from Weigner and also permitted theUSA patent no. 4,413,986 in Nov 8th of 1983 as a name of "Tampon Assembly With Means For Sterile Insertion" from Jacobs.

[4] The 3^r one is not so much popular as the 1^st and 2° one but it has been permitted the USA patents no. 3,983,873 in Oct 5th of 1976 and 4,175,561 in Nov 27th of 1979 from Hirschman. It is a "Between labium pad" in a figure 3, which is small sized pad and supposed to be inserted between labium to isolate the discharges.

[5] The 4 one is the menstrual cups in a figure 4, which has been opened to the public as a patent no. 2003-0081219 in the Republic of Korea as of 2003.10.17. It was made of rubber cups and supposed to be inserted into the vagina to isolate the discharges.

[6] The 5 one in a figure 5 was suggested the woman's menstruation Instrument and opened to the public as a patent no. 1988-0013537 in the Republic of Korea as of 1988.12.21, which is a combined instrument of an insertion instrument for gathering and transferring the discharges in the vagina with the external storages.

[7] In spite of advantages, these 5 types above also have disadvantages as below.

Firstly, in case of the pad-type sanitary napkins, sensitive-skin user will be feeling bad and women cannot wear tight trousers because the napkins might be noticed to other people and make them disgraceful. The worst thing is, if the napkins are not put on in¬ correctly or missed the change timing; the discharges and bloods would be overflowed, which is the reason why the clothes or bedclothes is stained. In case of tampon, due to the quality of the material, it might be feeling bad when it is inserted or removed from the vagina.

[8] Especially, the abnormal materials could be remained inside of the vagina, which is the cause of inflammation or Toxic Shock Syndrome that could make people dead.

[9] "Between labium pad" is not very much reliable due to separation problem when the women exercise actively or in the stance of a stoop or urination, which is why it was not very successful as much as the sanitary napkins or tampons above after it comes into the market with the product.

[10] In case of the menstrual cups, it would be uncomfortable when it is inserted or removed and especially uncomfortable when the upper shedding hole of the large caliber is separated from the entrance of vagina. Also, it should be just in the specific place like the toilet otherwise it could imbue the hand or other circumstances when it is separated from the vagina instantaneously.

[11] Not only the last traditional instrument has disadvantage of the sanitary napkins, which is established from inside of the vagina to outside, but also the bad- feeling coming from establishing up to the entrance of the vagina which is sensitive part in genitals of woman. It is not so sure that all the discharges could be aggregated into the instrument.

[12] These all the disadvantages should be eliminated in this invention, which could be clearly understood through the attached figures and related descriptions. Disclosure of Invention Technical Problem

[13] This invention is the menstruation vessel of slippery surface made of harmless material to the human body to remove disgusting feelings by friction when it is inserted into the vagina. It makes hollow inside of the menstruation vessel to be a lower pressure than the vagina by various method, which is why all the discharges of the vagina can be naturally inhaled into the menstruation vessel.

[14] To achieve this objective, it is essential for the menstruation vessel to be a lower pressure, which could be achieved by the methods as below;First method is for inhalation hole to be opened from the condition where the menstruation vessel is inserted inside of the vagina after the vacuum menstruation vessel which is shut tightly has been inserted into the vagina. Second method is to make the whole or one part of menstruation vessel flexible, and it has to be inserted into the vagina in the condition where the menstruation vessel is compressed, after that, make this menstruation vessel expand inside of the vagina to induce a lower pressure.

[15] The third method is to induce a lower pressure by removing airs inside of the men¬ struation vessel with the supplemental devices for the elimination of the discharges or an insertion instrument with a vacuum generator during inserting the menstruation vessel into the vagina.

[16] The method how to expand the flexible menstruation vessel could be to use dynamic stability of springs or dynamic stability of wrinkle form made an elastic material . In case an elastic material for expanding the menstruation vessel is used, the dynamic stability for expanding menstruation vessels will have differences depend on the degree of compression of the spring, which is the reason why there would be differences of low pressures generating inside of the menstruation vessel according to the degree of expanding menstruation vessels. To minimize this difference by using the characteristics of magnetic forces which is inverse proportion with distance between magnets to minimize the differences of the expansive power of the spring, which cause the differences of lower pressures minimized.

[17] The discharges in the vagina would be induced into the menstruation vessels for the pressure difference to occur between menstruation vessel and the vagina by the low pressure occurrence methods which is described above. Because the discharges are induced by lower pressure into the menstruation vessel, there would be a possibility for the discharges not to be induced into the menstruation vessel by the adherence of the shedding hole and the wall of the vagina. To prevent this possibility, the large shedding hole should be designed as big as possible.

[18] Also, the discharges induced into the menstruation vessel should not be out flowed into the vagina again to handle them easily. To achieve this objective, the diaphragm should be established to divide between the vagina part and menstruation vessel part under the large shedding hole inducing the discharges, which could establish a small shedding hole not to drain the discharges into outside. The safer way is to establish a double-diaphragm inhalation hole in the large shedding hole.

[19] Additionally, we could establish the pressure-adjustment valve on the inside lower- part of the small shedding hole which is formed to the diaphragm to prevent outflow of the discharges and adjust the induction pressures into the menstruation vessel simul¬ taneously. The pressure-adjustment valve permits inducing the discharges into the menstruation vessel and opens by the lower pressures. However, when the pressures of vagina and the menstruation vessel are equal or reached to the fixed pressure, the men¬ struation vessel would be shut down not to outflow the discharges. The power of shutting down the pressure-adjustment valve would be the dynamic stability of the spring established inside between lower part of the valve and the structures that have been built-in the pressure-adjustment valve. Also, it is generated by the magnetic forces, which is acted between the magnetic substances around the diaphragm of the small shedding hole and the magnetic substances valve coated by the materials that is possible to seal. We could adjust a lower pressure acted in the vagina by adjusting the dynamic stability of spring or magnetic forces. Another methods are as follows; double-diaphragm inhalation hole made of flexible materials like rubbers or silicones with sealing functions would be established to act like a valve for the purpose of controlling the flows of discharges and a lower pressure acted in the vagina. Inducing the discharges could be possible, but, in case the discharges flew out of the men- struation vessel, the double-diaphragm acts like a isolation valve. Also, as the figure 15 and 16, the band made of flexible materials like elastic rubbers or silicones could be clung to the small shedding hole inside of the menstruation vessel for the purpose of preventing the outflow of the discharges, which could adjust the pressures inside of the vagina by means of adjusting the tension of the band or diaphragm. The elimination methods of the discharges induced and isolated from the vagina depend on the usage of the menstruation vessel; if we want to replace the other menstruation vessel when the discharges are filled in the menstruation vessel, we could separate the menstruation vessel from the vagina and eliminate the discharges and the menstruation vessel could be reused after the appropriate rinsing and disinfections.

[20] Also, we want to eliminate the discharges in the menstruation vessel and induce the discharges from the vagina continuously from the condition which is inserted on the inside of vagina without separating the menstruation vessel out of the vagina even if the discharges is filled with the menstruation vessel, the outlet for the discharges should be needed for eliminating the discharges from the menstruation vessel. The outlet should be maintained airtight, but, if necessary, the outlet should be opened to drain the discharges by means of the external operations. To make this possible, the outflow control valve could be established at the outlet of the outside of the men¬ struation vessel, which is the structure built in the valve for maintaining the outlet airtight normally but it could be opened by external operation. In this structure, the outlet should be established in the partition of the menstruation vessel and the valve structure should also be established at the outlet of the outside of the menstruation vessel , which is the same method of the one in the small shedding hole to induce the discharges from the vagina. The operation method of this valve is same with the one of the pressure-adjustment valve, but it is located outside of the menstruation vessel, which is why the dynamic stability of the spring which is located between the in¬ frastructure lower part and the valve or the magnetism between the permanent magnet or magnetic substances in the partition and the magnetic force of the valve could be acted as a closing pressure of the valve. Therefore, the menstruation vessel can be maintaining airtight until the pressure surmounting the closing pressure of the valve which is a resultant force of the one which is operating to outflow control valve and lower pressure inside of the menstruation vessel and it can be only opened when the lower pressure that could surmount the closing pressure is generated outside of the valve. Therefore, the shedding hole of outlet can be maintaining airtight without any outside effect. If you want to eliminate the discharges inside of the menstruation vessel in this state, you could attach the device for inducing outflow under the valve of the outlet and also attach a pump or injector at the end of the device to make a lower pressure to surmount the closing pressure of the outflow control valve. After the ap- propriate outflow of the discharges, the device for inducing outflow could be eliminated, which makes the outflow control valve of the menstruation vessel airtight and the menstruation vessel would be empty inside with a lower pressure. This is the reason why the menstruation vessel could be utilized continuously without eliminating the menstruation vessel from the vagina until required time. As another method, the outflow control valve could be established inside partition of the menstruation vessel, which is same method with the pressure-adjustment valve.

[21] In this case, the discharges in the menstruation vessel could never be flew out in a normal status and it could be flow out only if the pressure of the lower pressure generating part of the outflow inducing device is lower than that of the menstruation vessel after outflow control valve is fixed being opened by external force that offset spring force or magnetic force acting to the outflow control valve. At this moment, the instrument for maintaining opening the outflow control valve should be established at the device for inducing outflow. After the available period is expired and the men¬ struation vessel is separated from the vagina, the user could disjoint the menstruation vessel and recycle after appropriate rinsing and disinfecting.

Mode for the Invention

[55] Figure 6 is the sectioned figure of a variable partitioned menstruation vessel of the 1 ^st basic form and the basic organization is as follows; the basic frame is consist of upper (1) and lower (2)-part partitions and the flexible middle-part variable partition (3) or high-flexibility variable partition (63) of figure 21 would be established between the upper (1) and lower (2) -part partition. Additionally, the large shedding hole (4) would be established to induce the discharges from the vagina at upper lower-part partitions and prevent the adhesion of the wall of the vagina and the menstruation vessel, and the middle-part partition (5) would also be established to prevent the discharges from flowing out from the menstruation vessel; also the small shedding hole (6) would be established for the discharges to flow into the inside space of the men¬ struation vessel; and a groove for an insertion instrument(8) for the menstruation vessel to be compressed to be possible to insert it into the vagina.

[56] In all the methods of the menstruation vessels as figures 8,9,10,11,14,15,16,17 including figure 6, an secession device would be established for the menstruation vessel in the lower-part partition to be separated from the vagina after fulfillment of the objective from the condition which is inserted inside of the vagina. This secession device is that, the ring (9) and the string (10) of the ring would be established under the lower-part partition and the string should be located outside of the vagina when the menstruation vessel is inserted in it; after the objective is fulfilled, the string is supposed to be pulled out for the menstruation vessel to be separated from the vagina. There are several methods for the string to be established; the first one is for the string to be tied with the partition directly without the ring, and the second one is for the string to be established in the valve spring of the outflow control valve, and the other one is for the string to be established in the valve partition or the valve body of the outflow control valve.

[57] Another method is that, other external secession instrument (figure 31) made of the permanent magnet or other magnetic substances would be inserted in the vagina and the permanent magnet or other magnetic substances (11) should be established in the lower-part partition as figure 7 for the menstruation vessel to be separated from the vagina by the magnetic forces, which makes it possible for the menstruation vessel to be separated from the vagina without the string as figure 6. At this point, a projection as the guidance structure (12) in figure 7 in the menstruation vessel or the concave surface could be established for the menstruation vessel to stick in external secession instrument by magnetic force easily. Also, there are other methods such as, the permanent magnet or other magnetic substances could be established in the partition or the valve body of the outflow control valve or inside of the valve in case it is a men¬ struation vessel with an outflow control valve.

[58] Figure 31 is the graphic representation figure for an external secession instrument to stick in the menstruation vessel. The external secession instrument is consisting of an adhesion board (172) with a permanent magnet or other magnetic substances (171) and the stick (170), which is a knob for operating the external secession instrument.

[59] Figure 8 is the sectional figure of the cylinder partitioned menstruation vessel, which is the 2° basic form and consists of upper (13) and lower (14) cylinder partitions with composition of figure 6 differently. We could establish the sealing materials (15) at the end of the upper or lower partitions for the purpose of increasing the degree of sealing according to the materials of the upper or lower partitions. At the end of the upper or lower partitions, the raised spot (16) for prevention of disconnecting the upper and lower partition would be established and an appropriate space (17) is supposed to be built up between the partitions for the purpose of smooth ups and downs operation of the partitions. Figure 32 is the graphic representation figure for the 3-phase cylinder partitioned menstruation vessel using the middle partition (175) and we could use this as a multi-phase partitioned menstruation vessel using additional middle partitions. As the methods of figure 6 and 7, we could establish a groove for an insertion instrument (18,19) in the method of figure 8, and also the rings (9), strings (10) to be explained in figure 6 or the permanent magnets, other magnetic substances (11), guidance structure (12) to be explained in figure 7 could be established, too. In case of the variable partitioned menstruation vessel and the cylinder partitioned menstruation vessel above, elastic materials like springs (7) would be established to push ups and downs the upper-part and lower-part partitions or the upper or lower cylinder partitions. At this moment, in case of the variable partitioned menstruation vessel in figure 6, the middle- part variable partitions (3) made of elastic materials could be replaced for the spring.

[60] Figure 9 is the graphic representation figure of the 3^r basic form; the whole-surface variable menstruation vessel with double-diaphragm inhalation hole and also it is the execution figure of which all the surface of the wall are made of high-degree elastic materials and the inside space could be built up by inserted springs. In case of the inhalation hole of this menstruation vessel from natural condition, the twofold external walls made of the elastic materials in the upper part and the side as figure 12 or 13 could permit inducing the discharges inside of the menstruation vessel, but it is not possible for the discharges to flow out of the menstruation vessel. The inhalation hole method of this graphic representation figure is called, "Double-diaphragm inhalation hole" which could be utilized in various menstruation vessels by various forms as figure 10,11 and 21. In case of this menstruation vessel, the vertical/ horizontal or cubical expansion of the capacity could be possible according to the organization and the installation methods of the established elastic materials like spring.

[61] Figure 10 is the illustration figure of the 4 basic form; A multi-phased men¬ struation vessel with a cross-sectional double-diaphragm inhalation hole. This men¬ struation vessel consists of the upper-part of the menstruation vessel, the lower-part of the menstruation vessel and the middle-part of the linking partition (119) which is made of firm materials; in case of upper-part of the menstruation vessel, the flexible partition (113,114) with double-diaphragm inhalation hole is in between upper-part partition (110) which is made of firm materials and the upper linking ring (115) which is made of the firm materials. Also the lower-part menstruation vessel is the same structure like upper-part of the menstruation vessel. The male screw would be built up in the middle-part linking partition and the female screw would be built up in the upper and lower-part of the menstruation vessel; as the figure 10, the elastic instruments like spring (112,117), which can expand the flexible partition, would be inserted between the middle -part linking partition and the upper and lower-part of the menstruation vessel. Figure 10 is the example of menstruation vessel with a flexible partition (122,123,124,125) established of double-diaphragm inhalation hole horizontally namely circumferential direction, and the figure 11 is the example of menstruation vessel with a flexible partition (122,123,124,125) established of double-diaphragm inhalation hole vertically namely axis direction.

[62] Figure 12 is the illustration figure of the operational principle of the double- diaphragm inhalation hole of the columnar double-diaphragm menstruation vessel which is figure 10 and the figure 13 is the illustration figure of principle of the double- diaphragm inhalation hole of the vertical double-diaphragm menstruation vessel which is figure 11. As described in the illustration figure, in case the menstruation vessel is in the state of lower pressure, internal diaphragm would be shrinking but the external diaphragm would not be shrinking because of the tension by the extension of the men¬ struation vessel, which could provide the inhalation hole (300,30 l)for inducing the discharges. In case that the pressure inside of the menstruation vessel and the pressure of atmospheric pressure are the same, the discharges cannot be flow out because the diaphragms contacted to each other in the state of tension. In case the pressure of men¬ struation vessel is higher and higher than atmospheric pressure, the discharges cannot be flow out because internal and external diaphragms are going to be extended with external direction of the menstruation vessel and contacted more powerfully each other.

[63] Figure 14 is the 5 basic form; the menstruation vessel attached with pressure- adjustment valve using spring compression force and a large shedding hole at middle- part of partition and the figure 15 is the 6 basic form; the menstruation vessel attached with pressure-adjustment valve using band compression force by tension of band and a large shedding hole at middle-part of partition, which is the example that the large shedding hole is established in the middle of the menstruation vessel. Figure 16 is the 7th basic form; the menstruation vessel with inhalation hole at middle-part of partition and the prevention valve for flowing backward using band compression force, which is the example that a lot of small shedding holes at a middle-part partition are established inducing the discharges. Figure 14 is the case of menstruation vessel established the pressure-adjustment valve using spring compression force and the figure 15, 16 is the pressure adjustment method applied by highly flexible materials like rubber or silicones. As a brief explanation of the structure, it basically consists of the upper (124) and lower (125) partitions made of a firm material, the partition of the shedding hole (126) composed by large (136) and small (137) shedding holes, upper connection ring (128), lower connection ring (127), upper cover (133), lower cover (134), highly flexible upper variable partition (129), lower-part variable partition (130), upper spring (138) for expanding variable partitions and lower spring (139). In case of the figure 14, it is the valve for the pressure adjustment and the prevention of the outflow of the discharges, which additionally consists of the left valve (135), the right valve (131) and valve spring (132). In case of the figure 15, it is going to be added the band (151) which is made highly flexible rubber and the valve (150) for prevention for the discharges from flowing backwards and adjustment of the pressures of the vagina. In case of figure 16, the partition for the large shedding holes would be replaced by simple cylinder shaped middle-part partition (152) and lots of small shedding holes (153) around this partition could be utilized for induction hole of the discharges. To prevent the discharges from flowing backwards, the prevention band valve of flowing backwards (154) made by highly flexible rubbers or silicones would be furnished.

[64] Figure 17 is the 8 basic form; a fixed-shape menstruation vessel attached with pressure-adjustment valve and outflow control valve, which is not a flexible men¬ struation vessel but a fixed-shape menstruation vessel. This menstruation vessel has a fixed-shape partition (61), which is made of firm materials and cannot generate the change of the cubic volume. Especially, in case the outflow control valve is applied like the figure 17, the menstruation vessel could be maintained at a lower pressure by eliminating the discharges and the air inside of the menstruation vessel through the outflow control valve of the outlet without removing the menstruation vessel out of the vagina.

[65] Figure 18 is the application illustration of the figure 6, which is produced airtight inside of the menstruation vessel originally and the sealing lids (21) established in the small shedding hole (6) of the middle-part partition would be eliminated by string (22) after it is inserted inside of the vagina of the woman. This application is the device for the menstruation vessel to separate from the vagina; it is excluded from establishing rings, strings, permanent magnets or other magnetic substances and guidance structure established each menstruation vessel as figure 6 . We would also furnish the stopple (23) made of highly flexible rubber or silicones in the lower-part partition or lower partitions for the purpose of maintaining airtightness of the menstruation vessel even though the string (22) is used for removing the sealing lids (21). Therefore, even the operation of removing the sealing lids (21) with strings (22) by high-elasticity could maintain airtightness inside of the menstruation vessel. Also this string (22) could be used for the way to separate this menstruation vessel from the vagina. This application of the vacuous -manufactured menstruation vessel could be utilized in the cylinder partitioned menstruation menstruation vessel of figure 8 and a fixed-shape men¬ struation menstruation vessel in figure 17.

[66] Figure 19 is the example of establishing pressure-adjustment valve to adjust the difference of pressures between the menstruation vessel and vagina, which consists of the valve (27) to open or close the small shedding hole (6), valve spring (28) to close the valve in case the difference of pressures between the menstruation vessel and the vagina is under the set-up pressure and open the valve in case the difference of pressures between the menstruation vessel and the vagina is over the set-up pressure, and the valve body (24) could accommodate all this elements. Internal small shedding hole (25) would be established in this valve body to induce the discharges into the menstruation vessel. In case of the vacuous-manufactured menstruation vessel described in the figure 18, sealing lids (26) for maintaining a vacuum inside of the menstruation vessel in the internal small shedding hole, the strings (29) for removing this sealing lids and the stopple for maintaining airtightness of the menstruation vessel are established. Simultaneously the pressure-adjustment valve prevents the discharges in the menstruation vessel from flowing backwards inside of the vagina as that keeps blockade state in case that the pressure in the menstruation vessel is equal with the pressure of the vagina or higher than it.

[67] Figure 20 describes the case that the permanent magnets or other magnetic substances could replace the role of spring to open or close the valve. The operator (30) made of permanent magnet or other magnetic substance would be established around the small shedding hole in the middle-part partition and valve (31) should also be made of permanent magnet or other magnetic substance; the valve body would have some space (32) for operating valve. At this point, the operator established in valve or partition, at least one of them, should be made of the permanent magnet, which can replace the role of the spring. [68] In case of variable cubic-volume menstruation vessel used of elastic spring for expanding the volume described in figure 21, the power of the spring is directly pro¬ portional to the constant of spring * distance. Therefore, when the state of compression of the spring is maximal, it could have the maximum dynamic stability. Also, the lower the compressed degree of spring, the weaker dynamic stability becomes, which is why the difference of the dynamic stability of the spring between the minimum and the maximum compressed conditions become bigger and bigger. This case is the example; the pressure-adjustment device is established in the menstruation vessel to be maintained consistently the lower pressure constantly inside of the menstruation vessel by minimizing the difference of the dynamic stability of spring acting with dynamic stability of the menstruation vessel when the menstruation vessel is compressed with the maximum or minimum. In case of this device, upper (62) and lower (64) pressure control plates should be established in the upper-part and the lower-part of the men¬ struation vessel, which are made of the permanent magnet or other magnetic substances. Magnetic character is described below; the farther the distances between two pressure control plates become, the weaker the magnetic force which interacts between two pressure control plates and the closer the distances between two pressure control plates are, the stronger the magnetic force which interacts between two pressure control plates become. When expansive force which is occurred by the dynamic stability of the compressed spring is the strongest, the dynamic stability is diminished most a lot because the magnetic force which interacts between two pressure control plates becomes the strongest because distance between two pressure control plates become closest. The more the spring is expanded, the less the diminution degree of dynamic stability is because the magnetic force becomes weak as the distance between two pressure control plates becomes close. The detraction power using the characteristic of the magnetic forces like above described could minimize the difference of the dynamic stability by the difference of spring-compression distance, which could minimize the difference of the lower pressure inside of the menstruation vessel. High-flexibility variable partition (63) in this graphic representation figure can be used for the same purpose with the one of the middle variable partition, which is described from figure 6. Also, this graphic representation figure shows another usage example of double-diaphragm inhalation hole. This consists of upper diaphragm (65) and lower diaphragm (66) and this graphic representation figure is the example that the only double-diaphragm inhalation hole is used in the large shedding hole without middle-part partition or small shedding hole. Even the menstruation vessel with middle-part partition or small shedding hole can also be attached to the large shedding hole for the discharges not to re-drain out into the vagina.

[69] Figure 22 is the example of the outflow control valve attached to the menstruation vessel for the purpose of eliminating the discharges from the menstruation vessel without removing the menstruation vessel out of the vagina. The outlet (33) of the discharges would be established in the partition of the menstruation vessel and the pressure-adjustment valve would be furnished in the external partition of the outlet described in the figure 19. This valve makes the induced discharges not to drain out of the menstruation vessel in case the internal pressure of the menstruation vessel is same with or lower than the atmospheric pressure, which is because the outlet of the discharges would be closed due to the spring or magnetic forces in case there is no external force. Also, as explained from technical objects of the invention, the valve could be used in attaching in the internal partition of the menstruation vessel. To eliminate the discharges without removing this menstruation vessel with the outflow control valve from the vagina, we would like to use the device described in the figure 23 or 30. [70] The device described in the figure 23 would be a supplemental device for elimination of the discharges, which consists of the induction tool (94) made of the permanent magnet or other magnetic substance in tail and the remover (95) for removing the induction tool from the menstruation vessel without removing the men¬ struation vessel out of the vagina. The usage of the device is as follows; the user inserts this supplemental device for elimination of the discharges into the vagina when she needs to remove the discharges of the menstruation vessel. At this point, due to the magnetic forces, this supplemental device for elimination of the discharges and the outflow control valve of the menstruation vessel would be combined naturally and the induction pipe (96) connecting inhaler, which is a flexible tube without closing with low pressure would be connected to the discharge pump (97) to make the space of the inhaler vacuum or lower pressure in different direction of the other end portion. In case the lower pressure of the space of the inhaler overcomes the resultant forces of the lower pressure of the menstruation vessel and the valve closing pressure of the outflow control valve, the discharges of the menstruation vessel could be flow out of the vagina through the inhaler. After the discharges are eliminated, the user could pull out the inhaler with grabbing the remover to separate it from the outflow control valve of the menstruation vessel and after the inhaler is fully separated, the inhaler and the remover should be separated from the vagina, which is why the discharges induced into the menstruation vessel could be eliminated without removing the menstruation vessel itself out of the vagina, and makes lower pressure again inside of the menstruation vessel and induce the discharges from the vagina again. As I described above, the user could use constantly without removing the menstruation vessel from the vagina and only remove it after the user's needs for the menstruation vessel are completed. The figure 24 is the illustration of the status that the supplemental device for the elimination of the discharges is connected in the menstruation vessel.

[71] The figure 25 is the example that the various kind of the menstruation vessel described in above could be easily disjointed for recycling after the rinsing and dis¬ infecting. In figure 24, the large shedding hole partition (47) and the middle-part partition (48) in which the male screw (41) is established, would be combined. Also, the upper-part partition (49), middle flexible partition (3) and the lower-part partition (38) would be combined and then build up the female screw (41) for assembling or disjointing with the middle-part partition. The pressure-adjustment valve established in the small shedding hole attached to the middle-part partition builds up the pressure- adjustment valve partition with a male screw (42) for assembling the pressure- adjustment valve in the middle-part partition, and the female screw should be es¬ tablished in the pressure-adjustment valve body (39) for the menstruation vessel to be easily assembled or disjointed. The outflow control valve partition with a male screw (43) would be established for assembling body (40) of the outflow control in the outlet of the lower-part partition and the female screw (43) should be furnished in partition (50) of the outflow control valve for assembling or disjointing. Figure 26 is the represented example for the cylinder partitioned menstruation vessel to be assembled or disjointed easily with the same method.

[72] Figure 27 and 28 are the graphic representation figures for confronting the case the location of the cervical part of the uterus in the vagina is extraordinary and applied the transformed large shedding hole. The cervical part of the uterus would be located in the semi-circle part (71) in the figure and the discharges can be induced into the men¬ struation vessel through the induction way (69,70,73). The location compensator (67) and the angle compensator (72) could be built up of screw built-up structure to replace easily to confront various shapes or angles.

[73] Figure 29 and 30 are the insertion instruments for inserting all the inventions above into the vagina. Figure 29 is the simple insertion instrument; the fixed groove of the insertion instrument (8) established in the menstruation vessel would be tied up into the protrusion holder of the inserting instruments (78) when the menstruation vessel is inserted into the insertion instrument as described in the figure. Then the menstruation vessel tied to the insertion instrument would be inserted into the vagina and adjust the location of the menstruation vessel appropriately with the cylinder (75) of the insertion instrument, and the user could push the piston (77) of insertion instrument for the men¬ struation vessel to be inserted into the vagina, which is why the protrusion holder (78) of the insertion instrument would be separated from the protrusion groove (8) of the menstruation vessel due to the expansion of the cylinder protrusion (79) established in the cylinder by the piston protrusion (76) established in the piston.

[74] Figure 30 is the insertion instrument with a vacuum generator and can be used in the menstruation vessel with the outflow control valve. The insertion instrument with a vacuum generator consists of the holder (81) part for accommodating and fixing the outflow control valve of the menstruation vessel, the outlet (84) for inducing air and discharges in the menstruation vessel, the cylinder (82), the remover (91) for separating the piston (86) and holder from the menstruation vessel; also the raised spot (90) for preventing secessions would be built up in this remover for controlling the moving forward location of the holder or cylinder. In regard to the usage of the insertion instrument with a vacuum generator, the menstruation vessel should be inserted inside of the vagina in the state of inserting and fixing the outflow control valve of the menstruation vessel into the holder (81) of the instrument. Then the user could pull out the piston (86) to generate the lower pressure inside of the menstruation vessel by removing air inside the menstruation vessel after gripping a knob of piston (87) of the instrument in the condition which is fixed in the instrument and the men¬ struation vessel by gripping the cylinder (82) of the instrument after the menstruation vessel is inserted in the proper partof the vagina. After generating lower pressure inside of the menstruation vessel, in the condition of being fixed the menstruation vessel by gripping remover (91) of the instrument, the remover (91) of the instrument is separated from the vagina by separating to the holder from the menstruation vessel by pulling the cylinder (82) for outside direction of the vagina, then the remover should be separated from the vagina. The insertion instrument with a vacuum generator sometimes could be used as the discharging device without separating menstruation vessel from the vagina as described in the figure 22, 23. The usage is the same with the one of the supplemental device for elimination of the discharges, but the things removed in the menstruation vessel could be replaced from air to discharges.

[75] Finally, the chart 33 is the illustration figure of pressure adjustment valve attached to the chart 21 , which shows the status that the pressure adjustment valve, pressure adjustment device and outflow valve at the same time.

[76] As the explanations of the inventions and the examples are already described above but they could be transformed to various kinds menstruation vessels just by the re¬ union of the methods which are explained above inside of the category of these inventions, so the category should not be restricted to the case described above, and should be decided by the patent claim category as well as others equal to this category mentioned later.
