DETAILED DESCRIPTION

While the specification concludes with claims defining the features of the invention that are regarded as novel, it is believed that the invention will be better understood from a consideration of the following description in conjunction with the drawing figures, in which like reference numerals are carried forward. It is to be understood that the disclosed embodiments are merely exemplary of the invention, which can be embodied in various forms.


The present invention provides a novel and efficient interchangeable intimate accessory system. Embodiments of the invention provide for a system with at least a first phallic device and a second phallic device removeably couplable with one another for selective dual or individual use. In addition, embodiments of the invention provide for an intermediate universal connector between first and second phallic devices for removeably coupling the phallic devices to one another. Additional embodiments of the present invention provide for an end cover base portion that removeably fits over a connector end of the phallic device to cover the connector end and also provide a gripping surface for individual use of the phallic device, when not being used in a dual configuration. Furthermore, some embodiments of the present invention provide for a novel and inventive phallic measurement kit that provides users with at least a dual-sensory indication of selectable girth and depth measurement options for a phallic device. Yet further embodiments of the present invention include a website configured to receive measurement options indicated in the measurement kit for ordering and personalizing the phallic devices according to the users' personal desires and preferences.


Referring now to FIG. 1, one embodiment of the present invention is shown in a perspective view. FIG. 1 shows several advantageous features of the present invention, but, as will be described below, the invention can be provided in several shapes, sizes, combinations of features and components, and varying numbers and functions of the components. The first example of an interchangeable intimate accessory system 100, as shown in FIG. 1, includes a first phallic device 102 and a second phallic device 104 each configured to be removeably couplable with one another for selective use in a dual-ended configuration (primarily for couple use) and an individual-use configuration, as will be discussed in more detail below.


The first phallic device 102 may have an elongated shape, as with many known phallic devices. In one embodiment, a depth 110 of the first phallic device 102 may be any known depth of such devices, such as, for example, 3 to 13 inches. In other embodiments, the depth 110 may be outside of this range. In one embodiment, a girth 112 of the first phallic device 102 may be any known girth of such devices, such as, for example, 2.5 to 4.5 inches. In other embodiments, the girth 112 may be outside of this range. In another embodiment, the first phallic device 102 may be other shapes, such as, circular. In yet another embodiment, the first phallic device 102 may be considered cylindrical in shape with a convex shaped end. In other embodiments, the first phallic device 102 may be formed as other shapes and sizes.


The first phallic device 102 may be made of a silicone material. In another embodiment, the first phallic device 102 may be made of another polymer-based material, or any other known material that phallic devices are generally constructed of. In one embodiment, the first phallic device 102 may be made of a pliable material. In other embodiments, the first phallic device 102 may be made of a substantially firm material. In yet other embodiments, the first phallic device 102 may be provided with a rigid core, yet be surrounded by a more flexible, resilient material on its exterior surface.


In one embodiment, the first phallic device 102 may have a smooth texture, or exterior surface. In other embodiments, the first phallic device 102 may have a rough, texturized exterior surface. In one embodiment, the first phallic device 102 may have a generally linear shape. In other embodiments, the first phallic device 102 may be curve-shaped. In yet other embodiments, the first phallic device 102 may have additional arms or protrusions extending therefrom. For example, the first phallic device 102 may have additional arms or protrusions extending from the main body for clitoral stimulation, for example, or other non-penetration stimulation. The first phallic device 102 may be provided with an exterior surface of any known color.


In one embodiment, the first phallic device 102 may be vibrating. In another embodiment, the first phallic device 102 may be non-vibrating. In yet another embodiment, the first phallic device 102 may include at least one vibrating element 200 (FIG. 2) disposed to vibrate independently of the second phallic device 104 in the single-use configuration, as well as, the dual-ended configuration. In yet a further embodiment, the second phallic device 104 also has a vibrating element 202 (FIG. 2) that is disposed to vibrate independently of the first phallic device 102 in the same manner. Advantageously, independent vibration can be provided for added versatility and personalization of use, even in the dual-ended configuration. The vibrating element 202 may be a motor electrically coupled to an actuator, such as a button or a switch, disposed on the outside of each respective phallic device.


In yet other embodiments, the first phallic device 102 may be made of other materials and with various other properties and features that known phallic devices are generally constructed of. Further, the second phallic device 104 may be provided in various shapes and sizes, and with various materials, surface feels, colors, and other features as described above with reference to the first phallic device 102. Therefore, the description above with reference to the first phallic device 102 will not be expressly repeated herein for the second phallic device 104, but does apply to the second phallic device 104.


Importantly, embodiments of the present invention allow users to personalize the phallic devices and/or the system 100 according to their personal desires and preferences, rather than selecting from a multitude of predetermined/premade phallic devices, as will be described herein in more detail below, with reference to the flow chart of FIG. 12.


In preferred embodiments of the present invention, the phallic devices 102, 104 are configured to be selectively couplable with one another forming the system 100. The first phallic device 102 may be considered to have a distal end 106 and a proximal end 108. The distal end 106 may be disposed opposite the proximal end 108. The distal end 106 may be shaped and configured for sexual application as a male reproductive organ substitute. More specifically, in one embodiment, the distal end 106 is sized, shaped, and configured for sexual application, or penetration into a human orifice (e.g., vagina). In one embodiment, the distal end 106 may be a rounded end. In another embodiment, the distal end 106 may be a semi-circle or slightly pointed end.


The second phallic device 104 may also be considered to have a distal end 120 and a proximal end 122. The distal end 120 may be disposed opposite the proximal end 122. The distal end 120 may be shaped and configured for sexual application as a male reproductive organ substitute. More specifically, in one embodiment, the distal end 120 is sized, shaped, and configured for sexual application, or penetration into a human orifice (e.g., vagina). In one embodiment, the distal end 120 may be a rounded end. In another embodiment, the distal end 120 may be a semi-circle or slightly pointed end. Many shapes for various male reproductive organ substitutes are known and may be provided with embodiments of the present invention.


The proximal end 108 of the first phallic device 102 may be formed as a first connector 114. In one embodiment, the first connector 114 may be formed as a male connector 114, such as, by including one or more protrusions. In a further embodiment, the first connector 114 may include a plurality of prongs 116 sized and shaped to mate with a plurality of mating prong-receptacles 300 (FIG. 3) corresponding to a female connector 118 disposed on the proximal end 122 of the second phallic device 104. In an embodiment where the first phallic device 102 is directly couplable to the second phallic device 104, as in FIG. 1, the mating female connector 118 is disposed on the second phallic device 104. Of course, the mating connectors may be switched in some embodiments, with the male connector 114 provided on the second phallic device 104 and the female connector 118 provided on the first phallic device 104. The male and female connectors disposed on the proximal ends 108, 122 of the phallic devices 102, 104 allow the devices to be securely matingly coupled together to form the dual-ended configuration of the system 100.


In one embodiment, the mating connectors 114, 118 may be configured to couple together by insertion of the male prongs 116 into the corresponding prong-receptacles 300 (FIG. 3) and by a subsequent twisting motion to lock the male prongs 116 into the female connector 118. Accordingly, the first and second phallic devices 102 and 104 are removeably couplable to one another, via coupling the female and male connectors 118, 114, so as to provide the dual-ended configuration (when coupled together, as in FIG. 2) and an individual-use configuration (when not coupled together, as in FIG. 1). Stated another way, the dual-ended configuration may be provided such that the distal ends 106, 120 are disposed at opposite ends of the system 100 when the first phallic device 102 and the second phallic device 104 are coupled together via the connectors 118, 114, the connectors 118, 114 being disposed on the proximal ends 122, 108 where the connection takes place. As can be seen in FIG. 2, the proximal ends 122, 108 and the connectors 118, 114 should be configured such that when the devices 102, 104 are connected together the system 100 appears to be a uniform dual-ended device. In other words, the connectors 118, 114 should not be visible when the devices 102, 104 are connected and the area where the two devices 102, 104 meet should provide a uniform and aesthetically pleasing surface and preferably is configured as a gripping surface for ease of use.


Referring now primarily to FIGS. 3-6, in one embodiment, the interchangeable intimate accessory system 100 may include an intermediate universal connector 302, rather than being configured for direct connection, as in the embodiment depicted in FIGS. 1-2.


The intermediate universal connector 302 is configured such that both the first and second phallic devices 102 and 104 are couplable to the intermediate universal connector 302 to form the dual-ended configuration. In one embodiment, the intermediate universal connector 302 is configured as an intermediate universal male connector 302 and each of the phallic devices 102, 104 configured for use in the system 100 has a mating female connector 304, 306, respectively. Such embodiments with the intermediate universal connector 302 are advantageous (over embodiments with direct coupling such as depicted in FIGS. 1-2) in that all the interchangeable phallic devices 102, 104 configured for use in the system 100 may be formed with the same type of connector. This provides uniformity and reduces complexity of use and manufacturing costs. In particular, embodiments of the present invention may provide for an end cover base portion 700 that covers the connector for the individual-use configuration. With all the phallic devices 102, 104 having the same connector type, the end cover base portions 700 may also be manufactured with the same mating connector type. It should be understood that although the exemplary embodiment depicts the intermediate universal connector 302 as a male connector, alternative embodiments may also be provided such that the intermediate universal connector 302 is a female connector, and the phallic devices 102, 104 may then be configured with mating male connector parts.


In one embodiment, the intermediate universal connector 302 includes a first end 400 and a second end 402. In a further embodiment, the first end 400 is disposed opposite the second end 402. In one embodiment, the intermediate universal connector 302 can be considered to have a main body 404 with a plurality of prongs 406 extending outwardly and disposed on the first end 400 and a plurality of prongs 408 extending outwardly and disposed on the second end 402. Each of the plurality of prongs 406, 408 is operably configured to matingly engage the connectors 304, 306 on the phallic devices 102, 104, respectively. FIGS. 4-6 provide partial views of the connectors, shown without the actual body of the phallic devices, for clarity. As shown in FIGS. 5-6, the connector 306 on the phallic device 104 may be connected to the intermediate universal connector 302. Specifically, the prongs 408 of the intermediate universal connector 302 may be inserted into the corresponding mating prong-receptacles 500 on the respective connector 306 and subsequently rotated in one of a clockwise or counter-clockwise direction (depending on the particular configuration), as indicated by the arrows 502, 504, until the prongs 408 abut a barrier 416 or tab on the connector 306 that locks the connection in place; that is, until the users rotates the prongs 408 in the opposite direction, as indicated by the arrows 600, 602, in order to uncouple the connectors 306, 304 from the intermediate universal connector 302).


In one embodiment, the main body 404 of the intermediate universal connector 302 may be annular-shaped. In another embodiment, the main body 404 may be provided in other shapes. In one embodiment, each end 400, 402 of the intermediate universal connector 302 may have three prongs 406, 408. In another embodiment, each end 400, 402 of the intermediate universal connector 302 may have more or less than three prongs 406, 408, but should still be configured to be removeably couplable to the connectors 304, 306 so as to selectively provide the dual-ended configuration in a secure manner when the intermediate universal connector 302 is coupled to and disposed between the first and second phallic devices 102, 104.


Referring now primarily to FIG. 7, the end cover base portion 700 is illustrated in an exemplary embodiment for the single-use configuration of the phallic device. Stated another way, it is desirable to provide a gripping surface for the single-use configuration of the phallic device, and/or visually and physically conceal the connecting portion of the phallic device. Accordingly, the end cover base portion 700 may be provided with an end cover connector 702.


In FIG. 7, yet a third phallic device 704 is illustrated, showing a textured surface. It should be understood that the third phallic device 704 is selectively interchangeable with the first and second phallic devices 102, 104 in the system 100. The third phallic device 704 is provided with a mating connector 706 at a proximal end 708 thereof. Like the second phallic device 104, the third phallic device 704 may be provided in various shapes and sizes, and with various materials, surface feels, colors, and other features as described above with reference to the first phallic device 102. Therefore, the description above with reference to the first phallic device 102 will not be expressly repeated herein for the third phallic device 704, but does apply to the third phallic device 704.


The end cover base portion 700 is configured to be removeably couplable to and cover the connector 706 on the proximal end 708 of the phallic device 704. The end cover base portion 700 is also operable to removeably couple to and cover the connectors 304, 306 on the first and second phallic devices 102, 104, respectively. Accordingly, a user need only purchase a single end cover base portion 700 that is operable to cover the open end of any phallic device that is configured for use with the system 100, when desired for the individual-use configuration. Advantageously, the end cover base portion 700 may also include a gripping surface 710 or handle portion, that allows the user to conveniently grip the phallic device 704 (or 102 or 104) when in the individual-use configuration, as shown in FIG. 8, being uncoupled from any mating phallic device.


Referring now briefly to FIGS. 9-11, an alternative embodiment of an intermediate universal connector 900 is illustrated. The intermediate universal connector 900 includes a main body 902 that is formed as an angular-shaped body. In a further embodiment, the main body 902 may include a first arm portion 904 and a second arm portion 906. The first arm portion 904 and the second arm portion 906 may be disposed such that when the phallic devices are coupled to each arm portion 904, 906, the distal ends of the phallic devices are oriented at between 45 and 135 degrees relative to one another. In another embodiment, the distal ends of the phallic devices may be oriented at 360 degrees relative to one another. In other words, the first arm portion 904 and the second arm portion 906 may be disposed such that when the phallic devices are coupled to each arm portion 904, 906 the entire dual-ended device is formed as a U-shape. In such an embodiment, the intermediate universal connector 900 may itself be U-shaped. In other embodiments, the arm portions 904, 906 may be oriented at other angles relative to one another. In yet other embodiments, the intermediate universal connector 900 is flexible such that the degree of curvature is selectively adjustable by the user. Stated another way, each of the arm portions 904 and 906 may be moveable relative to one another so as to selectively change the orientation of the arms portions 904 and 906 relative to one another and thereby provide users with additional variety of use. In a further embodiment, the flexible intermediate universal connector 900 may be made of a flexible polymer-based material. In yet other embodiments, the intermediate universal connector 900 may also be provided in other shapes, such as a “T” shape for connection to three phallic devices in one configuration. Advantageously, providing intermediate universal connectors 900 in varying shapes provides varying configurations of the system 100 when the phallic devices are coupled thereto. As can be seen in FIGS. 10 and 11, the phallic devices 704 and 1000 coupled to the angular-shaped intermediate universal connector 900 provides the penetration ends (i.e., the distal ends) at a different orientation relative to one another, as compared to the intermediate universal connector 302. Accordingly, both the intermediate universal connector 900, 302, the phallic devices 102, 104, 704, 1000, and the end cover base portion 700 can be selectively interchangeable within the intimate accessory system 100 for variety and personalization.
