SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The object of the present invention is to provide a new intercourse aid that improves body leverage for both the male and the female for improved sexual satisfaction.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a new intercourse aid that would improve the level of confidence and sexual satisfaction of both partners.
To this end, the present invention generally comprises a webbing comprised of a plurality of straps which are attached together. The webbing has a peripheral edge. A plurality of elongate binding members is attached to the peripheral edge. Each of the binding members has a first end and a second end. The first ends are attached to the peripheral edge such that the elongate binding members are spaced from each other. Each of a plurality of securing members is attached to one of the second ends for releasably securing the second ends of the binding members together such that coupled pairs of binding members traverse a lower side of a mattress when the webbing is positioned upon an upper side of the mattress.
There has thus been outlined, rather broadly, the more important features of the invention in order that the detailed description thereof that follows may be better understood, and in order that the present contribution to the art may be better appreciated. There are additional features of the invention that will be described hereinafter and which will form the subject matter of the claims appended hereto.
The objects of the invention, along with the various features of novelty, which characterize the invention, are pointed out with particularity in the claims annexed to and forming a part of this disclosure.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
The invention will be better understood and objects other than those set forth above will become apparent when consideration is given to the following detailed description thereof. Such description makes reference to the annexed drawings wherein:
FIG. 1
is a perspective view of an intercourse aiding apparatus according to the present invention.
FIG. 2
is a side view of the present invention.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
With reference now to the drawings, and in particular to
FIGS. 1 and 2
thereof, a new intercourse aid embodying the principles and concepts of the present invention and generally designated by the reference numeral
10
will be described.
As best illustrated in
FIGS. 1 and 2
, the intercourse aiding apparatus
10
is an apparatus that may be removably positionable on a mattress
12
having an upper side
14
, a lower side
16
and a peripheral wall
18
. The peripheral wall
18
includes a pair long of sides
20
and a pair of short sides
22
. The apparatus
10
includes a webbing
24
comprising a plurality of straps
26
. The straps
26
are attached together such that the webbing
24
has a peripheral edge
28
. The straps
26
are attached together such that a rectangular matrix is formed of longitudinally aligned ones of the straps
30
and of latitudinally aligned ones of the straps
32
. An outer pair of longitudinal straps
50
and an outer pair of latitudinal straps
52
defines the peripheral edge
28
of the matrix. Each of the longitudinally aligned straps
30
has a length substantially equal to the long sides
20
of the mattress
12
. Each of the latitudinally aligned straps
32
has a length substantially equal to the short sides
22
of the mattress
12
. The straps
26
each preferably comprise a nylon material.
Each of a plurality of elongate binding members
34
is attached to the peripheral edge
28
of the webbing
26
. The binding members
34
each have a first end
36
and a second end
38
. The first ends
36
are attached to the peripheral edge
28
such that the elongate binding members
34
are spaced from each other. At least one of the elongate binding members
34
is attached to each one of the outer pair of longitudinal straps and the outer pair of latitudinal straps. Ideally, at least two binding members
34
are attached to each of the straps
26
comprising the outer longitudinal straps
50
. The binding members
34
each preferably comprise a resiliently elastic material.
Each of a plurality of securing members
40
is attached to one of the second ends
38
, or adjacent thereto, for releasably securing the second ends
38
of the binding members
34
together such that selectively coupled pairs of binding members
34
traverse the lower side
16
of the mattress
12
when the webbing
24
is positioned upon the upper side
14
of the mattress
12
. The securing members
40
include a plurality of first mating members
42
and a plurality of second mating members
44
releasably securable to each other. Each of the first mating members
42
is attached to one of the second ends
38
of the binding members
34
and each of the second mating members
44
is attached to one of the second ends
38
of the binding members
34
such that the first
42
and second
44
mating members are positioned generally opposite to each other with respect to the webbing
24
. The first
42
and second
44
mating members preferably comprise male and female couplers. Alternatively, snaps, buttons, other mechanical fasteners, or hook and loop fasteners may be used.
In use, the webbing
24
is positioned on a mattress
12
so it generally covers the upper side
24
of the mattress
12
. The longitudinally aligned straps
30
are preferably aligned in parallel fashion with the long sides
20
of the mattress
12
and the latitudinally aligned straps
32
are preferably aligned in parallel fashion with the short sides
22
of the mattress
12
. Once in place, and positioned as desired by the user, the webbing
24
is secured to the mattress
12
using the binding members
34
. The straps
26
of the webbing
24
are used for providing leverage during sexual intercourse to those who require it. The user may place a sheet over the webbing
24
or remove it from the mattress
12
when not in use.
With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized that the optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of the invention, to include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function and manner of operation, assembly and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are intended to be encompassed by the present invention.
Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the invention. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the invention to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the invention.
