Patent Application
20230310261
This invention relates to a physical stimulation device meant to be used to stimulate various parts of the human anatomy. A unique open elevated section allows the insertion of various parts of the human anatomy to stimulate or simulate various physical areas. Various improvements such as vibration or temperature control may also be incorporated.
This application claims priority from U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 63/326,096, “PHYSICAL STIMULATION DEVICE,” filed on Mar. 31, 2022. The disclosure of the referenced provisional application is herein incorporated by reference.
The present invention relates to a device for stimulating the human anatomy for entertainment and physical purposes. Such devices are ancient in the art: devices meant for physical stimulation of various portions of the human anatomy, such as phallic devices meant to be inserted into the vagina, have been found in pre-historic archeological excavations. However, human variation is limitless, both physically and mentally, and such devices continue to be improved upon by human ingenuity.
Most physical stimulation devices in the field of the invention are modeled after portions of the actual human anatomy. A physical stimulation device which allows the simulation of non-human anatomy for entertainment and physical purposes would be a useful invention.
Many physical stimulation devices are of a fixed size and geometry, which means that individuals whose physiology is not optimal are not able to use that device. A physical stimulation device suitable for a wide range of physiologies would be a useful invention.
Most physical stimulation devices in the field of the invention have closed areas. These areas can collect bodily fluids, lubricants, dirt and dust, or other contaminants which are very difficult to remove. A physical stimulation device which is easy to access for cleaning would be a useful invention.
The present invention addresses these concerns.
Among the many objectives of the present invention is the provision of a device for stimulating the human anatomy.
Another objective of the present invention is the provision of a physical stimulation device which allows the simulation of non-human anatomy for entertainment and physical purposes.
A third objective of the present invention is the provision of a physical stimulation device suitable for a wide range of physiologies.
A fourth objective of the present invention is the provision of a physical stimulation device which is easy to access for cleaning.
Other advantages and objectives of the present invention will become clear by reading the application and the disclosures herein.
Reference will now be made in detail to several embodiments of the invention that are illustrated in accompanying drawings. Whenever possible, the same or similar reference numerals are used in the drawings and the description to refer to the same or like parts or steps. The drawings are in simplified form and are not to precise scale. For purposes of convenience and clarity only, directional terms such as top, bottom, left, right, up, down, over, above, below, beneath, rear, and front, can be used with respect to the drawings. These and similar directional terms are not to be construed to limit the scope of the invention in any manner. The words attach, connect, couple, and similar terms with their inflectional morphemes do not necessarily denote direct or intermediate connections, but can also include connections through mediate elements or devices.
By referring to
Horizontal entry 14 is defined by main body 12 and flexible members 16, and opens into chamber 17. Upper opening 18 is defined by the sides of flexible members 17. Vertical entry 19 is likewise defined by the junction of flexible members 16. It is preferred, but not required, that chamber 17 be of a size and geometry such that human extremities (e.g. fingers, toes, or the penis) are of a similar scale to chamber 17 and will be in contact with some or all of it if inserted through either of the entries and/or upper opening 18.
It is strongly preferred, but not required, that the bottom surface of device 10 be flat and have a very high frictional coefficient against most common household surfaces. This allows the device to be placed on a convenient household surface and used without it moving during use.
It is strongly preferred, but not required, that device 10 be cast in a single piece from a material such as platinum-cure silicone. If this is done, the upper surface of main body 10 and flexible members 16 will be body-safe, non-porous, and durable, and the bottom of device 10 will have appropriate frictional properties as set forth above.
To use the device, the user presses the portion(s) of their anatomy to be stimulated into and/or against the device, and applies the desired amount of pressure and/or bodily motion. For example, a user assigned female at birth may press their vagina or breasts against the device and move in a back and forth, up and down, and/or circular motion, whereas a user assigned male at birth may insert their penis into either of the entries. Fingers, toes, the tongue, et cetera, may also be pressed against or into the device. More than one user may also use the device at a time, with each stimulating the other as desired. It is preferred, but not required, that some form of lubricant compatible with both the material of the device and human skin and mucous membranes be applied to the device before and/or during use.
It is preferred, but not required, that horizontal entry 14 be largely parallel to the long axis of the chamber (in other words, that the axis of the horizontal entry be largely orthogonal to the long axis of the chamber.) This allows the easy insertion and alignment of portions of the user's anatomy for back-and-forth movement and stimulation of particular portions of the user's anatomy. It is likewise preferred, but not required, that vertical entry 19 be somewhat orthogonal to the long axis of the chamber (i.e. that the axis of the vertical entry be somewhat parallel to the long axis of the chamber.) This allows for more stimulation associated with an in-and-out movement and stimulation of different particular portions of the user's anatomy. It is strongly preferred, but not required, that neither entry be entirely orthogonal to the long axis of the chamber, as this would provide limited potential insertion/movement paths for portions of the user's anatomy to be inserted.
It is possible, but neither preferred nor required, to have a through-hole (not shown) in alignment with the upper opening and/or vertical entry such that a user could thrust completely through the device. This is not preferred, as it would allow fluids, including bodily fluids and lubricants, to escape the device as well as providing an area of the chamber which would not stimulate the user's anatomy when in proximity to it. Further, such a through-hole would of necessity only be useful to a limited proportion of the anatomies of users, being too small or too large for others.
While the preferred embodiment of the invention is pictured as an abstracted, somewhat non-human vaginal anatomy, it can be formed in any shape desired so long as the form is compatible with the objectives of the invention. It could be formed as a more realistic human vaginal anatomy, an even less humanoid anatomy or any other reasonable form. There can be more than two flexible members.
In a first alternate embodiment of the invention (NOT SHOWN) one or more vibrating mechanisms are incorporated into the main body, the elevated section, and/or the flexible members to provide additional stimulation when activated.
In a second alternate embodiment of the invention (NOT SHOWN) a heating or cooling element (or both) is incorporated into the main body, the elevated section, and/or the flexible members to provide additional stimulation when activated.
In a third alternate embodiment of the invention (NOT SHOWN) a means for dispensing various liquids, such as lubricants, is incorporated into the main body, the elevated section, and/or the flexible members to provide additional stimulation when activated.
In a fourth alternate embodiment of the invention (NOT SHOWN) the body of the invention includes one or more protruding member shaped like a penis, finger, tentacle, or other real or abstract member which is suitable for the stimulation of areas of the human body, including but not limited to the internal stimulation of one or more human orifices. The protruding member may be oriented with regard to the chamber such that a person with a penis could use the protruding member while their penis is engaged with the chamber, or such that the protruding member may be used while a person with a penis does not have their penis engaged with the chamber, or multiple members may be incorporated such that a person with a penis can use a first protruding member while a second person uses a second protruding member, et cetera.
In a fifth alternate embodiment of the invention (NOT SHOWN) the main body, the elevated section, or both, include textured areas which a human user can use to stimulate one or more portions of their anatomy by physically engaging with/rubbing their anatomy against the textured areas. For example, if the main body and/or elevated section have a “dragon” theme, the textured area could include exaggerated scales which create a textured area producing a desireable sensation when a portion of the user's anatomy is rubbed against it. The textured area's configuration may or may not be directly related to the asthetic appearance/“theme” of the main body and/or the elevated section.
It will be obvious to persons of ordinary skill in the art that the elements in the first through fifth alternates may be used together in any reasonable and desired combination.
In a sixth alternate embodiment of the invention (NOT SHOWN) sensors for detecting the proximity of elements of the human anatomy and/or pressure placed upon the physical stimulation device are incorporated into the main body, the elevated section, and/or the flexible members to allow for an electronic mechanism to control any or all of the elements disclosed in the first through third alternate embodiments disclosed above. Such sensors may also provide feedback to a computer or other device for measurement, synchronization between two or more physical stimulation devices similar to and/or different from the preferred or alternate embodiments, to control mechanical actuators to further simulate human or non-human anatomical response, to activate sound chips, or for any other related purpose.
While various embodiments and configurations of the present invention have been described above, it should be understood that they have been presented by way of example only, and not limitation. Thus, the breadth and scope of the present invention should not be limited by any of the above exemplary embodiments.
This application—taken as a whole with the abstract, specification, and drawings being combined—provides sufficient information for a person having ordinary skill in the art to practice the invention as disclosed herein. Any measures necessary to practice this invention are well within the skill of a person having ordinary skill in this art after that person has made a careful study of this disclosure.
Because of this disclosure and solely because of this disclosure, modification of this device and method can become clear to a person having ordinary skill in this particular art. Such modifications are clearly covered by this disclosure.
