This application relates to a bodily insertion device having a tail attachment.
The furry subculture is interested in fictional anthropomorphic animal characters with human personalities and characteristics. Practitioners of this subculture are known to wear full body costumes of animals such as wolves, foxes, dogs, and cats for role-play. Some practitioners like to wear full or partial costumes in an intimate setting.
An example tail assembly includes a bodily insertion device that extends along a longitudinal axis from a base to a tip. A shackle is secured to the base and includes a pair of spaced apart arms. The example tail assembly also includes a tail having an eyelet, and a rod inserted into respective openings in the spaced apart arms. The rod is inserted through the eyelet between the respective openings, thereby securing the tail to the bodily insertion device.
An example method of securing a tail to a bodily insertion device includes inserting a rod through an eyelet of a tail, and mounting the rod to a shackle that is secured to a base of a bodily insertion device. The mounting is performed such that the rod extends between a pair of spaced apart arms of the shackle, and passes through the eyelet of the tail between the pair of spaced apart arms, thereby securing the tail to the shackle and the bodily insertion device.
The embodiments, examples, and alternatives of the preceding paragraphs, the claims, or the following description and drawings, including any of their various aspects or respective individual features, may be taken independently or in any combination. Features described in connection with one embodiment are applicable to all embodiments, unless such features are incompatible.
The rod 30 is inserted into respective openings 24A, 24B in the arms 22A-B. In one example, the rod 30 is inserted through opening 24A, then through an eyelet in the tail 40, and then into the opening 24B, and an inner surface of the opening 24B is threaded to engage threads 32 of the rod 30. In another example, the rod 30 extends all the way through the second arm 22B and fastens to a nut 33 that is outside of the pair of arms 22A-B.
In a fastened position, the rod 30 extends along longitudinal rod axis A2. The axis A2 is perpendicular, or generally perpendicular (e.g., an angle of 85°-100° angle) to the axis A1. In the example of
In the example of
The bodily insertion device 12 includes a cavity 19 that extends from the base 14 into the bodily insertion device 12 towards the tip 16. In the example of
The pair of spaced apart arms 22A-B extend from a shackle body 26 that joins the arms 22A-B together. A threaded fastener 46 engages threads of the cavity 19 to fasten the shackle body 26 to the cavity 19. In one example, the threaded fastener 46 passes through the shackle body 26 along axis A1. In another example, the threaded fastener 46 is integral with the shackle body 26 and does not extend all the way through the shackle body 26.
In this disclosure, like reference numerals designate like elements where appropriate and reference numerals with the addition of one-hundred or multiples thereof designate modified elements that are understood to incorporate the same features and benefits of the corresponding elements.
Shackle 120 extends through the ring 150, such that when rod 130 is fastened in the shackle 120, the ring 150 and shackle 120 are linked to each other and to the bodily insertion device 112.
In one example one, or more of the bodily insertion device 12, 112; shackle 30, 130; ring 150, and grommet 62 are at least partially composed of metal, such as stainless steel.
The various embodiments discussed above provide a number of benefits, including a strong and durable connection between the tail 40 and bodily insertion device 12, minimizing the possibility that the tail 40 becomes inadvertently removed from the bodily insertion device 12. Also, the tail assembly 10 provides for convenient removal of the tail 40 from the bodily insertion device 12 for separate cleaning of the tail 40 and/or insertion device 12 and/or for wearing the tail 40 in a public setting without the bodily insertion device 12.
Unlike prior art tails which relied on a glued connection, the tail assembly 10 provides a connection between the tail and bodily insertion device 12 that can be quickly and easily detached and reattached. Also, while the prior art glued connection was prone to inadvertent detachment, the mechanical coupling between the tail 40 and bodily insertion device 12 in the tail assembly 10 is far stronger and can allow for significant pulling on the tail while the bodily insertion device 12 is stationary or is being pulled in an opposite direction without detaching the tail 40.
Although example embodiments have been disclosed, a worker of ordinary skill in this art would recognize that certain modifications would come within the scope of this disclosure. For that reason, the following claims should be studied to determine the scope and content of this disclosure.
This application is a divisional of U.S. application Ser. No. 15/859,814 filed on Jan. 2, 2018, now U.S. Pat. No. 10,912,706, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
