Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates to a massaging device and, more particularly relates, to the massaging device for providing sexual stimulation to genital organs.

BACKGROUND

Masturbation is generally referred to as a natural and safe way to explore one's body i.e. stimulation of genital organs to obtain sexual pleasure. Typically, people use conventional techniques for exploring one's body (irrespective of gender) to attain sexual pleasure. However, the conventional techniques are generally unhygienic and thus not desirable.

Sex toys are designed in a variety of configurations and perform a variety of functions, ranging from medical therapy to erotic stimulation. For example, the sex toys such as dildos are used by female users for masturbating. Such sex toys are generally phallic-shaped and are simpler to use for providing sexual pleasure to female users. Additionally, such sex toys include a vibration feature for enhancing sexual stimulation to female genital organs (e.g., vaginal area). However, the usage of sex toys in the genitals (e.g., vaginal area) for experiencing sexual stimulation can lead to irritations or inflammations of the skin near the genital organs (or the vaginal area). Further, the usage of these sex toys to provide sexual pleasure is fairly limited and is not designed specifically to accommodate the different physiologies (or arousals) of different users. Thus, such sex toys may not provide the desired and satisfactory sexual pleasure to the users.

Moreover, the sexual pleasure of female users generally depends on the stimulation of more than one erogenous region of the female genital organs. One such example is clitoral stimulation. Further, users generally may use devices that are configured to create a pressure difference (e.g., vacuum pumps) proximate to the clitoral region. However, such devices are relatively complex and result in an annoying or disturbing user experience. Furthermore, such devices (i.e. the vacuum pumps) are associated with valves or ventilation components that often have blind spots which are difficult to clean and thus hygiene-related issues.

Therefore, there is a need for a device with simple construction and use, for providing an effective stimulation effect to erogenous zones of genital organs of the users in order to overcome one or more limitations stated above in addition to providing other technical advantages.

SUMMARY

Various embodiments of the present disclosure provide a massaging device for inducing sexual stimulation to female genitalia or one or more erogenous zones of female users.

In an embodiment, a massaging device is disclosed. The massaging device includes a first stimulating member and a second stimulating member. The second stimulating member includes a drive member. The drive member includes a first arm configured with a retainer member and a second arm. The retainer member of the first arm is movably secured to a first limiting member configured in a distal portion of the first stimulating member, thereby enabling a coupling between the first stimulating member and the second stimulating member. Further, the massaging device includes an actuator positioned in the second stimulating member and operatively coupled to the drive member. The actuator is configured to induce a rotary motion to the drive member for operating at least the first stimulating member and the second stimulating member in a plurality of stimulation modes. The first stimulating member and the second stimulating member being in contact with one or more erogenous zones of a user and operable in the plurality of stimulation modes induce sexual stimulation to the one or more erogenous zones of the user.

In another embodiment, a massaging device for inducing sexual stimulation is disclosed. The massaging device includes a first stimulating member and a second stimulating member. The second stimulating member includes a drive member. The drive member includes a first arm configured with a retainer member and a second arm. Further, the retainer member of the first arm is movably secured to a first limiting member configured in a distal portion of the first stimulating member. Furthermore, the first limiting member is a guide groove structure adapted to receive the retainer member of the retainer member, thus enabling a coupling between the first stimulating member and the second stimulating member. The massaging device further includes an actuator positioned in the second stimulating member and operatively coupled to the drive member. The actuator is configured to induce a rotary motion to the drive member. Further, the rotary motion of the drive member allows the retainer member to traverse along at least a length of the first limiting member, thereby allowing at least the first stimulating member and the second stimulating member in a plurality of stimulation modes. The first stimulating member and the second stimulating member being in contact with one or more erogenous zones of a user and operable in the plurality of stimulation modes induce sexual stimulation to the one or more erogenous zones of the user.

Various example embodiments of the present disclosure are described hereinafter with reference to FIG. 1 to FIGS. 5A-5C.

FIG. 1 illustrates a perspective view of a massaging device 100, in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure. The massaging device 100 is operated to provide sexual stimulation to the genital organs of users. As shown, the massaging device 100 may include at least one phallic shaft (or phallic-shaped configuration) for stimulating the genitals. Specifically, the massaging device 100 is configured with stimulating members for simultaneously stimulating one or more erogenous zones and/or the genital organs.

The massaging device 100 includes a first stimulating member 102a and a second stimulating member 102b. The first and second stimulating members 102a and 102b are coupled to each other via a coupling mechanism and form a substantially V-shaped configuration or a substantially L-shaped configuration. Further, such configuration of the massaging device 100 corresponds to a rabbit vibrator configuration. In one embodiment, the second stimulating member 102b and at least a portion of the first stimulating member 102a (represented by T′) are substantially phallic-shaped (or an erectile penis). The first stimulating member 102a may be configured with a smaller cross-section of the similar configuration of the second stimulating member 102b or vice-versa as per the operability modes and/or requirements. As shown, the diameter of the cross-section of each of the first stimulating member 102a and the second stimulating member 102b varies across its length. Specifically, the first stimulating member 102a includes a proximal portion 104a and a distal portion 104b and the second stimulating member 102b includes a first portion 106a and a second portion 106b. The terminal ends of each of the proximal portion 104a and the first portion 106a may be configured to be substantially a tapered section or a dome structure. Further, the first and second stimulating members 102a and 102b are configured to be of an optimum length sufficient for suitably stimulating various erogenous regions and/or zones of the genitals which will be explained further in detail. In some embodiments, the first and second stimulating members 102a and 102b may include protrusions, ridges, bumps, dimples, or any other impressions for enhancing sexual pleasure.

The first and second stimulating members 102a and 102b may be configured with materials that are safe for use on human skin. For example, the first and second stimulating members 102a and 102b may be made of materials such as, but not limited to, porcelain, borosilicate, medical-grade silicone, and the like. In an embodiment, a sleeve made of silicone may be inserted onto each of the first stimulating member 102a and the second stimulating member 102b for providing a hassle-free experience to the user while in use. Further, the first stimulating member 102a and the second stimulating member 102b coupled to each other are oriented at a first threshold angle (see, angle ‘α₁’ of FIG. 4A).

Further, the massaging device 100 may include an actuator (see, 302) positioned in the second stimulating member 102b. The actuator (e.g., a motor) may be configured to operate at least the first stimulating member 102a and the second stimulating member 102b in a plurality of stimulating modes. Moreover, the angular orientation of the first stimulating member 102a relative to the second stimulating member 102b facilitates the actuator to operate at least the first stimulating member 102a and the second stimulating member 102b in the plurality of stimulating modes which will be explained further in detail. It is to be noted that the first and second stimulating members 102a and 102b operating in the plurality of stimulating modes facilitate the sexual stimulation of the erogenous zones of the user. In an example scenario, the massaging device 100 may be used by female users for stimulating one or more erogenous zones of the female genitalia. In particular, the first stimulating member 102a and the second stimulating member 102b may be operated for stimulating the one or more erogenous zones such as the clitoris, and vaginal area, respectively. Thus, the first stimulating member 102a corresponds to a clitoris stimulator and the second stimulating member 102b corresponds to a vaginal area stimulator based on their corresponding operability. As such, operating the first stimulating member 102a and the second stimulating member 102b of substantially phallic-shaped allows the female users to experience a satisfying masturbating experience. In another example, the massaging device 100 can be used as a prostate massager, or the like as per feasibility and requirement.

Referring to FIG. 2, the first stimulating member 102a includes a first half-shell 202a and a second half-shell 202b. As shown, the first half-shell 202a and the second half-shell 202b are detachably coupled to each other via suitable coupling means such as screws, snap-fit arrangement, and so forth. Further, the second stimulating member 102b includes a third half-shell 204a and a fourth half-shell 204b detachably coupled to each other via suitable coupling means as explained above. The detachable coupling of the first half-shell 202a with the second half-shell 202b, and the third half-shell 204a with the fourth half-shell 204b allows access to the internal components of the massaging device 100. It is to be noted that the detachable coupling of the first and second stimulating members 102a and 102b form a decoupled structure of the massaging device 100. The decoupled structure of the massaging device 100 provides access to the internal components of the massaging device 100 in case of repair or replacement of any of the internal components housed within the first and second stimulating members 102a and 102b.

In an embodiment, the first and second stimulating members 102a and 102b may be a unitary structure. In this configuration, the distal portion 104b of the first stimulating member 102a may be configured with flexible materials of optimum strength such that the first and second stimulating members 102a and 102b are capable of operating in the plurality of stimulating modes without any intervention.

Referring to FIG. 3, a schematic representation of the massaging device 100 upon detachment of the second half-shell 202b and the fourth half-shell 204b is illustrated. The massaging device 100 includes the actuator 302, and a drive member 304. The actuator 302 is positioned in the second stimulating member 102b. The actuator 302 may include at least one motor configured for operating in a plurality of rotating speeds. The drive member 304 is operatively coupled to the actuator 302. Specifically, the drive member 304 includes a first arm 306a and a second arm 306b. The second arm 306b is coupled to the actuator 302 and the first arm 306a is coupled to the second arm 306b. The first arm 306a and the second arm 306b are oriented at a predefined angle (see, magnified portion 320 of FIG. 3). Further, the first arm 306a includes a retainer member 308. In an embodiment, the retainer member 308 is of a spherical shape. In an embodiment, the retainer member 308 is a rolling ball. Alternatively, the retainer member 308 may be configured in any other geometrical shapes which serve the purpose. The retainer member 308 of the first arm 306a is movably secured to a first limiting member 310 configured in the distal portion 104b of the first stimulating member 102a, thereby coupling the first stimulating member 102a with the second stimulating member 102b.

More specifically, the first limiting member 310 is a guide groove structure. The guide groove structure is adapted to receive the retainer member 308 of the first arm 306a therein. In an embodiment, the guide groove structure may include a top guide rail 310a, a bottom guide rail 310b, and a space 310c defined therebetween. As such, the space 310c defined therebetween is configured for receiving the retainer member 308. The first limiting member 310 is configured based at least on the structural configuration and dimensions of the retainer member 308, thereby allowing the retainer member 308 to be movably secured within the first limiting member 310. Further, it is to be noted that the length of the top guide rail 310a and the bottom guide rail 310b is configured based at least on a lateral displacement of the retainer member 308 driven by the actuator 302 within the first limiting member 310. In operation, the actuator 302 is configured to drive the drive member 304 in a rotary motion. In this scenario, the retainer member 308 coupled to the first arm 306a traverses along at least the length of the first limiting member 310 (i.e. guide groove structure) due to the rotary motion of the drive member 304. The lateral displacement of the retainer member 308 within the first limiting member 310 allows at least the first stimulating member 102a and the second stimulating member 102b to be operated in the plurality of stimulating modes for providing sexual pleasure which will be explained further in detail.

Additionally, the massaging device 100 includes one or more stimulation devices 312 positioned in at least the first stimulating member 102a and the second stimulating member 102b. The stimulation devices 312 are configured to enhance the stimulation effect of the massaging device 100. In other words, the simulation devices 312 are configured to induce stimulations to walls of the first and second stimulating members 102a and 102b when the massaging device 100 is used to stimulate the female genitalia. Some non-limiting examples of the stimulation devices 312 are electrically and thermally conductive elements and a vibrating device. In an embodiment, the stimulation devices 312 include a first stimulation device 314a and a second stimulation device 314b. The first stimulation device 314a and the second stimulation device 314b are positioned in the first stimulating member 102a and the second stimulating member 102b, respectively. More specifically, the first stimulation device 314a and the second stimulation device 314b are positioned in the proximal portion 104a and the first portion 106a of the first stimulating member 102a and the second stimulating member 102b, respectively. It is to be noted that the proximal portion 104a of the first stimulating member 102a and the first portion 106a of the second stimulating member 102b is the initial point of contact with the female genitals, for example, the clitoris and vaginal area, respectively. To that effect, the first and second stimulation devices 314a and 314b are positioned in the proximal portion 104a and the first portion 106a, respectively. Further, the combined effect of the first and second stimulation devices 314a and 314b, and the first and second stimulating members 102a and 102b enhances the sexual stimulation of the female genitalia (or erogenous zones).

Further, the massaging device 100 includes a power source 316 for providing electrical power to the one or more components of the massaging device 100. The power source 316 is arranged in the second stimulating member 102b. The power source 316 is configured to provide one of an alternating current output or a direct current output. In an embodiment, the power source 316 includes a direct current power source, such as a rechargeable battery (for example, a lithium-ion battery), operable to provide the required electrical power for the operation of the actuator 302, an electronic circuitry (see, 318), the stimulation devices 312, and the like. Further, the power source 316 may include electrical and/or electronic components or circuits for enabling the use of wired or wireless charging. In an embodiment, the massaging device 100 may include a charging port (see, 324 of FIG. 3) for enabling connection with an external power source to recharge the power source 316 (e.g., the rechargeable battery). For example, the charging port 324 may be a magnetic charging port. Alternatively, the massaging device 100 may include a conventional charging port such as, but not limited to, a universal serial bus (USB) port Type-A or USB port Type-B or Micro USB port Type-B. In some embodiments, the power source 316 may include electrical and/or electronic components or circuits for enabling the use of alternating current to provide the required electrical power for the operation of the components such as the actuator 302, the electronic circuitry 318, the stimulation devices 312, and the like.

The electronic circuitry 318 is configured to operate the massaging device 100 in the plurality of stimulation modes. As shown, the electronic circuitry 318 is positioned in the distal portion 104b of the first stimulating member 102a. The electronic circuitry 318 may include circuitry configured to operate the internal components such as the actuator 302, the stimulation devices 312, etc., of the massaging device 100 for providing sexual stimulation. In particular, the electronic circuitry 318 is configured to operate the massaging device 100 based on operating at least one button 322 of the massaging device 100. The user may provide input on the button 322 for a short duration of time (e.g., 3 sec) to activate and/or deactivate the massaging device 100 (i.e. to switch ON and switch OFF the massaging device 100 or activate and deactivate wireless connectivity of the massaging device 100). Further, the user may provide input on the button 322 for a duration of time (e.g., 1 sec) for adjusting and/or controlling the stimulation devices 312 (e.g., switching different vibration pattern or vibration intensity).

In one scenario, the electronic circuitry 318 may be configured to operate only the first and second stimulating members 102a and 102b. In another scenario, the electronic circuitry 318 may be configured to operate only the stimulation devices 312. In another scenario, the electronic circuitry 318 may be configured to operate both the first and second stimulating members 102a and 102b, and the stimulation devices 312 for enhancing the sexual stimulation. The electronic circuitry 318 operating the first and second stimulating members 102a and 102b in the plurality of stimulation modes and the internal components of the massaging device 100 are explained with reference to FIGS. 4A-5C.

Referring to FIG. 4A, the electronic circuitry 318 is configured to operate the massaging device 100 in a first stimulation mode. More specifically, the electronic circuitry 318 is configured to operate actuator 302 to drive the drive member 304. As such, the rotary motion of the drive member 304 facilitates the retainer member 308 to traverse along at least a length of the guide groove structure (or the first limiting member 310). The lateral displacement of the retainer member 308 in the first limiting member 310 allows at least the first stimulating member 102a and the second stimulating member 102b to be operated in the first stimulation mode.

Further, in the first stimulation mode, the first stimulating member 102a and the second stimulating member 102b are operable between a first orientation (see, 402 of FIG. 4A) and a second orientation (see, 404 of FIG. 4B) relative to each other. The user may use the second stimulating member 102b to stimulate the vaginal area and the first stimulating member 102a to stimulate the clitoris. In this scenario, the second stimulating member 102b may be insertable within the vaginal area and the first stimulating member 102a may be positioned in contact with the clitoris. As such, the first stimulating member 102a and the second stimulating member 102b operating between the first orientation (see, 402) and the second orientation (see, 404) simultaneously stimulate the clitoris (or glans region) and the vaginal area of the female user. Further, the first stimulating member 102a and the second stimulating member 102b are operated in the first orientation 402 based on the first threshold angle (represented by ‘α₁’). In other words, the first stimulating member 102a and the second stimulating member 102b are operated relative to each other based on the first threshold angle ‘α₁’. The first threshold angle ‘α₁’ may correspond to a reference angle i.e. the first stimulating member 102a coupled to the second stimulating member 102b is oriented based on the first threshold angle ‘α₁’ relative to the second stimulating member 102b.

Furthermore, the first stimulating member 102a and the second stimulating member 102b are operated in the second orientation 404 based on a second threshold angle (represented by ‘α₂’). As shown, the first stimulating member 102a and the second stimulating member 102b are oriented towards each other when the massaging device 100 is operated in the second stimulation mode. The first stimulating member 102a and the second stimulating member 102b operating between the first threshold angle ‘α₁’ and the second threshold angle ‘α2’ produces the sexual pleasure of masturbation. In an example scenario, the user may be lying on bed, bathing in a bathtub, or floating in the pool etc. In this scenario, the user may operate the massaging device 100 including the first stimulating member 102a and the second stimulating member 102b for simultaneously stimulating the one or more erogenous zone (e.g., clitoris or glans region, and the vaginal area) of the female user as explained above. In other words, the user may operate the massaging device 100 between the first stimulation mode and the second stimulation mode when the user is lying on bed, bathing in a bathtub, or floating in the pool.

Referring to FIG. 4C, the massaging device 100 is operated in the second stimulation mode. In particular, the second stimulating member 102b is operated in a third orientation (see, 406) relative to the first stimulating member 102a based on a third threshold angle (represented by ‘α₃’). In this use case, the user may sit on a chair when wearing (or using) the massaging device 100. As such, the movement of the first stimulating member 102a is hindered when the massaging device 100 is operated during the use case (i.e. hindered by the chair) as described above. Prior to operating the massaging device 100, the first stimulating member 102a may be oriented at the first threshold angle ‘α₁’ relative to the second stimulating member 102b. As explained above, the rotary motion of the drive member 304 facilitates movement of the first and second stimulating members 102a and 102b. However, the movement of the first stimulating member 102a is opposed (or hindered) due to the force applied by the chair during use. To that effect, the second stimulating member 102b is configured to move towards the first stimulating member 102a, thus resulting in the third orientation 406. In other words, the first stimulating member 102a and the second stimulating member 102b are operated between the first orientation 402 (or the first threshold angle ‘α₁’) and the third orientation 406 (or the third threshold angle ‘α₃’). It is to be understood that the third threshold angle ‘α₃’ is greater than the second threshold angle ‘α₂’. Further, the massaging device 100 operating in the third orientation 406 may stimulate the vaginal area or G-spot stimulation.

Referring to FIG. 4D, the massaging device 100 is operated in the third stimulation mode. In particular, the first stimulating member 102a is operated in a fourth orientation (see, 408) relative to the first stimulating member 102a based on a fourth threshold angle (represented by ‘α₄’). In this scenario, the user may stand or walk when wearing (i.e. the second stimulating member 102b being inserted into the vaginal area of the user) the massaging device 100, which hinders the movement of the second stimulating member 102b when the massaging device 100 is operated. Prior to operating the massaging device 100, the second stimulating member 102b may be oriented at the first threshold angle ‘α₁’ relative to the first stimulating member 102a. As explained above, the rotary motion of the drive member 304 facilitates movement of the first and second stimulating members 102a and 102b. However, the movement of the second stimulating member 102b is opposed due to the force applied by the contraction of the user's vagina during use (or when the user is standing). To that effect, the first stimulating member 102a is configured to move towards the second stimulating member 102b, thus resulting in the fourth orientation 408. In other words, the first stimulating member 102a and the second stimulating member 102b are operated between the first orientation 402 (or the first threshold angle ‘α₁’) and the fourth orientation 408 (or the fourth threshold angle ‘α₄’). In an embodiment, the third threshold angle ‘α₃’ may be equivalent to the fourth threshold angle ‘α₄’ as the second stimulating member 102b and the first stimulating member 102a are fixed in the third orientation 406 and the fourth orientation 408, respectively. Further, the massaging device 100 operating in the fourth orientation 408 may stimulate the clitoris.

Referring to FIG. 5A, the massaging device 100 including a drive member 502 of a different configuration is shown. The drive member 502 may be configured with materials (e.g., shape memory metals) that are capable of operating in deformed configuration and pre-deformed configuration. In other words, the drive member 502 may be made of resilient materials i.e. the materials that can be deformed by external force and can revert to their original shape when the external force is released. The drive member 502 includes a first arm 504a, a second arm 504b, and a retainer member 504c. In an embodiment, the retainer member 504c is coupled to the second arm 504b and secured to the first limiting member 310. In another embodiment, the retainer member 504c may be fixed in the first limiting member 310, such that the first arm 504a, the retainer member 504c fixed in the first limiting member 310, and the second stimulating member 102b are static relatively and move together (i.e. operate in the plurality of stimulation modes).

Further, the first arm 504a is pivotally coupled to the second arm 504b via a coupling member 506. It is to be noted that the coupling member 506 is configured to convert the rotary motion of the first arm 504a relative to the actuator 302 into an oscillatory motion, thus enabling the second arm 504b to oscillate between a first position (see, 508 in magnified portion 510 of FIG. 5A) and a second position (see, 514 of FIG. 5C). More specifically, the coupling member 506 is configured with a groove (not shown in figures) for allowing the second arm 504b to move only in a longitudinal direction (as shown in FIGS. 5A-5C). As a result, the second arm 504b is configured to be operable between a fifth threshold angle ‘α5’ (e.g., 170 degrees) and a sixth threshold angle ‘α₆’ (e.g., 190 degrees) as explained with references to FIGS. 5A-5C. For illustration purposes, the fifth threshold angle ‘α5’ between the first arm 504a and the second arm 504b is depicted using the angle between the lines L1 and L2, where the lines L1 and L2 represent the first arm 504a and the second arm 504b, respectively.

Referring to FIG. 5B, the second arm 504b may be oriented at a reference angle ‘α’ of 180 degrees for each quarter rotation. In one scenario, the first arm 504a of the drive member 504 rotates, for example, one-quarter of a full circle (i.e. from 0 to ¼^th of 360 degrees). In this scenario, the second arm 504b will attain a reference position (see, 512 of FIG. 5B) from the first position 508. In other words, the second arm 504b will be operable between the fifth threshold angle ‘α₅’ (e.g., 170 degrees) and the reference angle ‘α’ (e.g., 180 degrees). For illustration purposes, the reference angle ‘α’ and the fifth threshold angle ‘α₅’ between the first arm 504a and the second arm 504b are depicted as the angle between the lines L1 and L2.

In another scenario, the first arm 504a of the drive member 504 rotates, for example, one quarter to the second quarter of a full circle (i.e. ¼^th to ½ of 360 degrees). In this scenario, the second arm 504b will attain the third position (see, 514 of FIG. 5C) from the reference position (see, 512 of FIG. 5B) i.e. the second arm 504b will operate between the reference angle ‘α’ (e.g., 180 degrees) and the sixth threshold angle ‘α₆’ (e.g., 190 degrees). For illustration purposes, the sixth threshold angle ‘α₆’ between the first arm 504a and the second arm 504b is depicted as the angle between the lines L1 and L2.

In another scenario, the first arm 504a of the drive member 504 rotates, for example, the second quarter to the third quarter of a full circle (i.e. ½^th to ¾^th of 360 degrees). In this scenario, the second arm 504b will attain the reference position (see, 512 of FIG. 5B) from the third position (see, 514 of FIG. 5C) i.e. the second arm 504b will operate between the sixth threshold angle ‘α₆’ (e.g., 190 degrees) and the reference angle ‘α’ (e.g., 180 degrees).

In another scenario, the first arm 504a of the drive member 504 rotates, for example, the third quarter to the fourth quarter of a full circle (i.e. ¾^th to 4/4 of 360 degrees or full circle). In this scenario, the second arm 504b will attain the first position (see, 508 of FIG. 5A) from the reference position (see, 512 of FIG. 5B) i.e. the second arm 504b will operate between the reference angle ‘α’ (e.g., 180 degrees) and the fifth threshold angle ‘α₅’ (e.g., 170 degrees).
