Artificial insemination and vaginal insertion

Abstract

A fertility conception system comprising a carrier adapted to receive a condom having a closed; a transfer top defining a passage onto the carrier; a cervical cap; a receptacle; and a piston moveable relative to the receptacle to transfer semen from through the passage into the cervical cap, the piston moveable by pushing down axially on the receptacle; wherein the receptacle is effectively sealed from air passage by the piston at the bottom end, and the transfer top and the condom at the top end, and a space between the transfer top and receptacle is sealed by the condom.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A fertility conception kit comprising:
 a carrier, the carrier adapted to receive a condom having a closed, distal end containing a semen deposit therein;   a transfer top, the transfer top defining a passage onto the carrier;   a cervical cap;   a receptacle; and   a piston moveable relative to the receptacle to transfer the semen deposit from the closed, distal end of the condom through the passage into the cervical cap, the piston moveable by pushing down axially on the receptacle;   wherein:
 the receptacle is effectively sealed from air passage by the piston at the bottom end, and the transfer top and the condom at the top end, and 
 a space between the transfer top and receptacle is sealed by the condom. 
   
     
     
         2 . The fertility kit of  claim 1 , wherein the receptacle includes a stop, the stop limiting axial movement of the carrier. 
     
     
         3 . The fertility kit of  claim 1 , wherein the transfer top engages the receptacle to move the piston. 
     
     
         4 . The fertility kit of  claim 1 , wherein the transfer top is removably connected to an inserter. 
     
     
         5 . The fertility kit of  claim 1 , wherein the cervical cap is contained within an inserter. 
     
     
         6 . The fertility kit of  claim 1 , wherein the cervical cap is separably connected to an inserter. 
     
     
         7 . The fertility kit of  claim 1 , wherein the carrier is ring-shaped and the receptacle is cylindrical. 
     
     
         8 . The fertility kit of  claim 1 , further comprising a cover, the cover configured to engage the receptacle for protected storage of the semen deposit. 
     
     
         9 . The fertility kit of  claim 1 , further comprising a removal string attached to the cervical cap. 
     
     
         10 . The fertility kit of  claim 9 , wherein the string has two ends, each end attached to the cervical cap. 
     
     
         11 . The fertility kit of  claim 9 , wherein the removal string is configured as a loop. 
     
     
         12 . The fertility kit of  claim 9 , wherein the removal string is configured as a pull tab. 
     
     
         13 . A fertility conception kit comprising:
 a carrier, the carrier adapted to receive a condom having a closed, distal end containing a semen deposit therein;   a transfer top, the transfer top defining a passage onto the carrier;   a cervical cap;   a receptacle; and   a piston moveable relative to the receptacle to transfer the semen deposit from the closed, distal end of the condom through the passage into the cervical cap, the piston moveable by pushing down axially on the receptacle;   wherein:
 the receptacle is effectively sealed from air passage by the piston at the bottom end, and the transfer top and the condom at the top end, 
 a space between the transfer top and receptacle is sealed by the condom, and 
 the carrier configured to slide axially along the outer perimeter of receptacle until the end of the condom is raised upward towards the top of the receptacle. 
   
     
     
         14 . The fertility kit of  claim 13 , wherein the piston is inverted before the transfer top engages the receptacle. 
     
     
         15 . The fertility kit of  claim 13 , wherein the receptacle includes a stop, the stop limiting axial movement of the carrier. 
     
     
         16 . The fertility kit of  claim 13 , wherein the transfer top engages the receptacle to move the piston. 
     
     
         17 . The fertility kit of  claim 13 , further comprising a transfer body, the receptacle disposed within the transfer body, wherein the transfer top automatically snaps into the transfer body. 
     
     
         18 . The fertility kit of  claim 13 , further comprising a cover, the cover configured to engage the receptacle for protected storage of the semen deposit. 
     
     
         19 . The fertility kit of  claim 13 , further comprising a removal string attached to the cervical cap. 
     
     
         20 . The fertility kit of  claim 19 , wherein the string has two ends, each end attached to the cervical cap.
