The disclosure relates to apparatus for manual stimulation of the male sexual organ of an individual.
Manual stimulation of the male sexual organ of an individual may be performed using a penis stroker sleeve. A penis stroker sleeve typically includes a soft interface material, which may be, for example, a skin safe rubber, silicone, latex, or other elastomer-based compound rubber that contacts skin of the penis. The penis stroker sleeve also may include an outer portion that may be manually grasped and manipulated in a back and forth, cyclical stroking motion. When the soft internal material is moved back and forth across the skin of the penis by manually cycling the outer portion, the penis is stimulated by frictional engagement between the soft internal material and penis. Pressure also may be exerted by the stroker sleeve against the penis, through the soft internal material.
Stimulation of the male sexual organ also may be performed using a penis pump to create negative pressure about the penis, so that blood flow into the penis is increased. Penis pumps require a housing, which may be a tube, that can provide a closed, airtight space relative to an airtight seal, around a portion of the penis. The airtight seal, for example, may be formed between the housing and torso. The airtight space located inside the housing and around the penis may be evacuated by pumping air out of the airtight space through a manual air pump, such as a bulb pump or plunger pump. When the airtight space is evacuated, the penis is exposed to negative pressure and thus stimulated to erection by blood flowing into the penis.
When a penis pump as described hereinabove is used to stimulate the penis, a stroker sleeve cannot be properly used, because in order to maintain the airtight seal, the housing of the penis pump prevents manual access and cyclical stroking movement of the stroker sleeve against the penis by hand. Similarly, when a penis pump is used, the housing of the penis pump prevents manual access and stroking of the penis by direct contact with the hand. For reasons stated above and for other reasons which will become apparent to those skilled in the art upon reading and understanding the present specification, there is a need in the art for improved apparatus and methods for stimulating the male sex organ of an individual.
The above-mentioned shortcomings, disadvantages and problems are addressed herein, as will be understood by those skilled in the art upon reading and studying the following specification. This summary is provided to introduce a selection of concepts in a simplified form that are further described below in more detail in the detailed description of embodiments. This summary is not intended to identify key or essential features of the claimed subject matter. Unless otherwise defined, all terms (including technical and scientific terms) used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this disclosure belongs. It will be further understood that terms, such as those defined in commonly used dictionaries, should be interpreted as having a meaning that is consistent with their meaning in the context of the relevant art and the present disclosure, and will not be interpreted in an idealized or overly formal sense unless expressly so defined herein.
In an embodiment, apparatus for manual haptic stimulation (hereinafter “stimulation apparatus”) of the male sex organ (“penis”) is provided. Such stimulation apparatus may include a penis pump assembly, traveling carrier assembly, and penis stroker sleeve. The penis pump assembly may include a penis pump housing, such as a tubular housing, configured to define an internal penis chamber which may be brought into an airtight condition. The penis pump assembly may include a pump line assembly in fluid communication between the penis chamber and exterior. The pump line assembly may be selectively operable to pump air out of the penis chamber to bring same into the airtight condition, to evacuate the penis chamber and thus create a negative pressure in the penis chamber in the airtight condition. The penis chamber may have a longitudinal axis extending from a proximal end to a distal end opposite the same.
Stimulation apparatus may include a traveling carrier assembly supported relative to the penis pump housing. The traveling carrier assembly may be supported for translation movement relative to the penis pump housing, relative to a longitudinal axis of a penis chamber. Particularly, the travelling carrier assembly may be supported for repeating, cyclical translation movement relative to the penis chamber along the longitudinal axis thereof, through repeating in and out cycles. The traveling carrier assembly may include an internal carrier supported relative to the penis pump housing wall for translation movement in the penis chamber along the longitudinal axis thereof. The internal carrier may include an internal carrier body having a tubular internal carrier wall defining an internal payload space configured to receive and carry a stroker sleeve for translation movement in common with the internal carrier. The internal carrier may include a spaced plurality of internal magnetic rollers configured for rolling motion across the penis pump housing wall interior surface to support the internal carrier body for translation movement relative to the penis pump housing wall and defining a minor internal clearance gap therebetween. The plurality of internal magnetic rollers may be supported in spaced, interconnected relationship by an open mesh. The open mesh may be formed by cooperation of an internal set of elastic fiber members joined in regular, intersecting relationship. The internal carrier body may include a spaced plurality of internal magnetic roller apertures each defined in the internal carrier wall in alignment with a corresponding internal magnetic roller.
The traveling carrier assembly may include an external carrier supported relative to the penis pump housing wall for translation movement outside the housing wall along the longitudinal axis of the penis chamber in common with the internal carrier located inside the penis chamber. The external carrier may include an external carrier body having a tubular external carrier wall defining an external payload space configured to receive the penis pump housing wall for translation movement of the external carrier outside the housing wall along the longitudinal axis of the penis chamber in common with the internal carrier located inside the penis chamber. The external carrier may include a spaced plurality of external magnetic rollers configured for rolling motion across the penis pump housing wall exterior surface to support the external carrier body for translation movement relative to the penis pump housing wall and defining a minor external clearance gap therebetween. The plurality of external magnetic rollers may be supported in spaced, interconnected relationship by an external open mesh. The external open mesh may be formed by cooperation of an external set of elastic fiber members joined in regular, intersecting relationship. The external carrier body may include a spaced plurality of external magnetic roller apertures each defined in the external carrier wall in alignment with a corresponding external magnetic roller.
The traveling carrier assembly may include a carrier interconnection assembly. In an embodiment, for example, the carrier interconnection assembly may include a magnetic carrier interconnection assembly. In an embodiment, for example, a magnetic carrier interconnection assembly may function by magnetism or magnetic connections formed between a spaced plurality of paired magnetic elements. In an embodiment, the carrier interconnection assembly may include a spaced plurality of paired magnetic rollers configured to form by cooperation therebetween a releasable magnetic connection between the internal carrier and external carrier. The plurality of paired magnetic rollers may include a plurality of internal magnetic roller members joined to the internal carrier. The plurality of paired magnetic rollers may include a plurality of external magnetic roller members joined to the external carrier. The plurality of internal magnetic roller members joined to the internal carrier may be selectively aligned to form the plurality of paired magnetic connections in magnetic coupled relationship with the plurality of external magnetic roller members joined to the external carrier, so as to join the internal carrier in interconnected relationship with the external carrier. The plurality of internal magnetic roller members may be selectively misaligned or moved away from the aligned positions, to release the plurality of internal magnetic roller members from the plurality of paired magnetic connections and thus decouple from magnetic relationships with the plurality of external magnetic roller members, so as to release the internal carrier from interconnected relationship with the external carrier.

As shown in
Stimulation apparatus 100 may include a traveling carrier assembly 200 supported for movement relative to the penis pump housing 115. The traveling carrier assembly 200 may be supported for translation movement relative to the penis pump housing 115, relative to the longitudinal axis 150 of the penis chamber 120. Particularly, the travelling carrier assembly 200 may be supported for repeating, cyclical translation movement relative to the penis chamber 120 along the longitudinal axis 150 thereof, through repeating in and out cycles between a proximal position adjacent the open proximal end 160 and torso, and a distal position adjacent the distal end 155 spaced apart from the torso and nearer the head of penis 102. The traveling carrier assembly 200 may include an internal carrier 205 inside the penis chamber 120, external carrier 255 outside the penis chamber 120, and carrier interconnection assembly 370 defining a releasable magnetic connection between the internal carrier 205 and external carrier 255.
The traveling carrier assembly 200 may include internal carrier 205 supported relative to the penis pump housing wall 118 for translation movement in the penis chamber 120 along the longitudinal axis 150 thereof. The internal carrier 205 may include an internal carrier body 208 having a tubular internal carrier wall 210 defining an internal payload space 262 configured to receive and carry the stroker sleeve 300 for translation movement in common with the internal carrier 205 relative to penis chamber 120 and penis 102. The internal carrier 205 may include a spaced plurality of internal magnetic rollers 225 configured for rolling motion across the penis pump housing wall 118 interior surface to support the internal carrier body 208 for translation movement relative to the penis pump housing wall 118 and defining a minor internal clearance gap therebetween. In an embodiment, the plurality of internal magnetic rollers 225 may be supported in spaced, interconnected relationship by an internal open mesh 290. The internal open mesh 290 may be formed by cooperation of an internal set of elastic fiber members 295 joined in regular, intersecting relationship. The internal carrier 205 may include a spaced plurality of internal fasteners 270 joined to the internal carrier body 208 and securing the plurality elastic fiber members 295 in fixed locations, with each of the plurality of elastic fiber members 295 extending across a corresponding internal magnetic roller aperture 235 to support an internal magnetic roller 225 in the internal magnetic roller aperture 235 for rotation about an axis of rotation defined by the respective elastic fiber member 295. The internal fasteners 270 may include, for example, architectural bolts, sex bolts, barrel bolts or Chicago screws formed of non-magnetic material such as aluminum. The internal carrier body 208 may include a spaced plurality of internal magnetic roller apertures 235 each defined in the internal carrier wall 210 in alignment with a corresponding internal magnetic roller 225. It will be understood that, in an embodiment (not shown), the internal carrier may include a plurality of internal non-magnetic rollers and a separate set of fixed internal magnetic elements joined to the internal carrier body in stationary locations.
The traveling carrier assembly 200 may include an external carrier 255 supported relative to the penis pump housing wall 118 for translation movement outside the housing wall 118 along the longitudinal axis 150 of penis chamber 120 in common with the internal carrier 205 located inside the penis chamber 120, by force of the magnetic interconnection provided by carrier interconnection assembly 370. The external carrier 255 may include an external carrier body 258 having a tubular external carrier wall 260 defining an external payload space 262 (best shown in
The traveling carrier assembly 200 may include a carrier interconnection assembly 370. The carrier interconnection assembly 370 may include a spaced plurality of magnetic roller pairs 280. Each magnetic roller pair 280 may include an internal magnetic roller 225 and external magnetic roller 275 configured to form by cooperation therebetween a releasable plurality of magnetic roller pairs 280 defined between the internal carrier 205 and external carrier 255.

It will be understood that the stimulation apparatus 100 may be operable to create and maintain reduced pressure in the airtight penis chamber 120 while the traveling carrier assembly 200 is simultaneously operated to stroke the penis by manual manipulation, by an individual, to move the travelling carrier assembly 200 relative to the penis pump housing 115 to cause stroking movement of the stroker sleeve 300 relative to the penis 102 without disrupting the airtight seal 125.
Stimulation apparatus 100 as disclosed is similar in function to a traditional penis pump or a vacuum erectile device (VED) in that it utilizes negative air pressure or a vacuum to enlarge the penis by drawing more of the user's blood into the tissue. A penis pump is used to stretch the tissue and enlarge the overall size of the penis permanently. By leaving the penis in this vacuum chamber for specific amounts of time, the tissues and ligaments in the penis eventually change their size and shape. A vacuum erectile device (VED) utilizes a vacuum in a manner similar to a penis pump, but with the intent of the vacuum erectile device being removed after the vacuum has enlarged the penis. Then an erection ring or penis ring is placed around the base of the penis to restrict the flow of blood from the erect penis. This is done in order to produce a stronger erection or to maintain an erection for a longer period of time. Generally, vacuum erectile devices are prescribed by a physician for self-stimulation or to aid in sexual intercourse for males who have trouble achieving or maintaining an erection naturally.
Stimulation apparatus 100 as disclosed performs an additional, different function different from a penis pump or vacuum erectile device. This different function is a complete and thorough flush of the prostate gland during the vacuum session itself. Much like a regular penis pump or vacuum erectile device, the stimulation apparatus 100 as disclosed comprises a vacuum chamber and an air pump to remove the air and initiate a vacuum around the penis for enlargement. The difference is that instead of wearing the cylinder statically, like a regular penis pump, or using the cylinder temporarily and then removing it once enlargement has occurred, like a vacuum erectile device, the user of stimulation apparatus 100 may leave the penis inside of the vacuum chamber and then stimulate the penis by stroking while maintaining the penis under the full negative air pressure of the vacuum. In the embodiments illustrated, these functions are achieved by an external carrier on the outside of the vacuum cylinder and an internal carrier on the inside vacuum cylinder. The external carrier translates in and out on the outside of the vacuum chamber and functions as a handle for a user to manipulate stroking movement manually. The internal carrier translates in and out on the inside of the vacuum chamber and holds a penis stimulation sleeve, and functions as a stroker carrier manipulated by manual stroking movement of the external carrier. Specifically, in the illustrated embodiments, selected external and internal magnetic rollers which are correctly aligned and positioned are attached to respective of the external carrier and internal carrier, to enable rolling movement along the wall of the vacuum chamber.
Once the user has achieved a “vacuum powered erection,” he may stimulate or masturbate by stroking the penis until achieving orgasm and ejaculation. The vacuum chamber helps the penis become more erect and firmer than would be achieved by way of normal blood pressure in the organ, and thus, the prostate has greater backpressure condition through which to ejaculate seminal fluid than if a lower backpressure condition is created. Once orgasm and ejaculation are achieved, the pubococcygeus muscles convulse and push the seminal fluids through and out of the penis. The vacuum pressure on the penis not only increases rigidity, but makes the penis more sensitive. By bringing more blood into the penis, nerve endings and sensory cells of the penis are pushed closer to the surface of the skin. The result is an extremely expressed prostate gland and a much more intense orgasm than would be achieved without use of the stimulation apparatus.
