The present invention relates, in general, to a device used to enhance and increase the blood flow to an individual's penis thereby increasing the length and/or width of the penis prior to and during coitus.
A growing number of men suffer from erectile dysfunction as a result of their advanced age and/or as a result of other health complications or ailments. In order to obtain an erection, some men use different devices to stimulate blood flow to the penis. However, maintaining penile blood flow and erections tends to be difficult. As such, there is a need for a device to help men obtain and maintain an erection. There is also a need for a device that enables the easy application of penile rings onto a penis which help keep the blood within the penis thereby maintaining the erection.
The present invention provides a device that meets the stated needs above. An aspect of an embodiment of the invention provides a penile blood circulation enhancement device, which may include a cylindrical body contoured to receive a user's penis. The cylindrical body may have an opening which leads into a vacuum chamber designed to receive a user's penis. The device may also include a suction pump receptacle at an end of the cylindrical body opposite that of the opening. The suction pump receptacle may be adapted to receive or be connected to a suction feed from a suction pump. The enhancement device may further include a conical section which has its conical apex adjacent to the base of the suction pump receptacle, a cylindrical neck section immediately adjacent and beginning from the base of the conical section (which is opposite its conical apex) to the conical section of the cylindrical body and one or more platforms on the cylindrical body's surface. These platform(s) may extend along a certain length of the cylindrical body beginning from an end of the cylindrical neck section and extending to a location before the opening of the cylindrical body.
In an aspect of an embodiment of the present invention, the platform(s) may include a first gradient section, the first gradient section rising at a certain gradient from the end of the cylindrical neck section, a flat section following the first gradient section, and a second gradient section, having a downward gradient toward the location before the opening of the cylindrical body.
In another aspect of an embodiment of the present invention, the rising gradient of the first gradient section of the platform(s) may be between 0-30 degrees.
In another aspect of an embodiment of the present invention, the downward gradient of the second gradient section of the platform(s) may be less than 90 degrees.
In another aspect of an embodiment of the present invention, the cylindrical body may include a rim located at the cylindrical body's base. In one aspect, the rim may be adapted either physically or functionally to maintain a seal tight connection between the cylindrical body's base and the base of the user's penis.
In another aspect of an embodiment of the present invention, rim may be adapted to maintain the vacuum created within the vacuum chamber.
Additional aspects, objectives, features and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the following description of the preferred embodiments with reference to the attached drawings.
Referring now to
Immediately following first gradient section 108a is flat section 108b of platform 108. In one aspect of an embodiment of the present invention, flat section 108b functions to enable the smooth translation of a penile ring down enhancement device 100 towards the user's penis in the direction as shown in
Operation of the blood circulation enhancement device 100 begins when a user places his penis within vacuum chamber 116 and places edge 110 of enhancement device 100 firmly around the base of his penis to ensure a proper seal. At first, the user would ensure that all pubic hair around the base of his penis has been shaved off to ensure that enhancement device 100 maintains a firm, seal-tight contact with the base of the user's penis. This also ensures that good suction is attained once the pumping begins. The user may also apply water-based lubricant around his penis. Once these steps have been undertaken, the user may plug a suction pump, penis pump or similar device (not shown) to suction pump plug receptacle 102. Then suction pump is then activated, either manually or mechanically, and air within vacuum chamber 116 is evacuated thereby creating a vacuum within vacuum chamber 116. As a result of the evacuation of air, blood flow to the user's penis is increased and the user's penile length and width are both enhanced. Once a desired width and/or length is attained, penis ring 200 may then be slid over conical section 104 of cylindrical body 100, onto and off platforms 108 and onto the base of the user's penis. The ease of penis ring 200's translation and placement is made possible by way of conical section 104, cylindrical neck section 106, platform 108's gradient (108a and 108c) and flat (108b) sections and space 112 which ease the sliding of the penis ring onto and off the platforms and eventually onto the base of the user's penis. Penis ring 200 then, by way of its constriction around the base of the user's penis, maintains the attained size by constricting blood flow out of the user's penis.
Although this present invention has been disclosed with reference to specific forms and embodiments, it will be evident that a great number of variations may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. For example, equivalent elements may be substituted for those specifically disclosed and certain features of the present invention may be used independently of other features—all without departing from the present invention as defined in the appended claims
