1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to female stimulators, and in particular to a female stimulator using an adjustable water jet against a membrane in a sealed portable unit.
2. Description of the Prior Art
Today's market is saturated with a great variety and large number of female stimulation products. Vibrators are sold in many different shapes, sizes and materials. Most if not all vibrating products are using a vibrating device mechanism (bullet).
While some women use water in a shower or bath tub as a source of stimulation, the prior art provides no devices producing a similar water stimulation which are portable to be used anywhere without squirting water all over.
U.S. Pat. No. 6,350,230, issued Feb. 26, 2002 to Kontos, shows a sexual aid device for producing sexual stimulation having an elongated upper member, an elongated lower member, a means for removably securing the upper and lower members together, a tube member, and a compression means for ejaculating liquid from the tube member. An upper end of the upper member has an aperture therethrough. The elongated lower member has a compartment therein for one or more batteries for powering the device. The tube member has a compressible liquid containment unit on a lower end thereof. A hollow neck member extends upward from the liquid containment unit, the hollow neck member being in fluid communication with the liquid containment unit. The neck member has an open upper end. During use the tube member is positioned inside the device such that the open upper end of the neck member is inserted in the aperture of the upper member. The compression means is configured and positioned to compress the liquid containment unit to thereby ejaculate liquid from the tube member. The device is preferably provided with a vibration means, a timing unit, and a heating element, all of which may be selectively used as needed when using the device to provide sexual stimulation. Methods of using the device are also provided.
U.S. Pat. No. 6,099,463, issued Aug. 8, 2000 to Hockhalter, is for a female stimulation device comprised of a tubular suction chamber sized for closely fitting around a clitoris. The suction chamber is connected to a variable partial vacuum source through a tubing. The partial vacuum source may be the mouth of a user or a mechanical device, such as a vacuum bulb or pump. The clitoris is drawn outwardly by the partial vacuum, so that it is engorged with blood to produce a sexually pleasurable sensation. The force of suction may be controlled by a check and suction release valve, which is also used to release the partial vacuum. The front end of the suction chamber is shaped to provide an air-tight but comfortable seal.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,920,923, issued Jul. 13, 1999 to Jillette, claims a spa of a type including a tub for holding water and a user, in particular, a female user. The spa has a seat for supporting the female user in a seated position, a circulation pump having an inlet connected to the tub for drawing water from the tub, and an outlet connected to the tub for discharging the drawn water back to the tub. A discharge nozzle is located within the tub and connected to the outlet, mounted to the seat so that the discharged water from the circulation pump automatically aligns with and is directed to stimulation points (e.g., the clitoris) of the female user when the female user sits in the seat.
U.S. Pat. No. 3,598,106, issued Aug. 10, 1971 to Buning, describes a longitudinally extending fluid filled deformable member adapted to be inserted into the vaginal canal to facilitate voluntary exercise of the muscles of the pelvic diaphragm and a fluid conduit connecting such device to an external indicator means to provide visible indicia of such muscular constrictions.
What is needed is a female genital stimulating device which produces a pulsating or swirling or continuous stream water sensation but with the water jet shielded in a container with a dry thin film contacting the user.
An object of the present invention is to provide a female genital stimulating device which produces a pulsating or swirling or continuous stream water stimulation but with the water jet shielded in a container with a dry thin film contacting the user.
The present invention water jet stimulation against a dry thin film contacting the user with the water contained within the device is a novel construction. There is no other product on the market that utilizes contained water pressure to create a unique clitoral stimulation. The effect of the soft constant pressure of the pulsating water stream through the thin latex film result in a very special sensation.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a water stimulation device which is adjustable in pressure and temperature and pulsation or swirling rhythm.
One more object of the present invention is to provide a hydro female stimulation device with an internal water cycling system using a pump feed for the pulsating stream of water and a gravity return to a water reservoir which may be heated as desired.
An additional object of the present invention is to make a hydro female stimulation device which is inexpensive and easy to manufacture.
A further object of the present invention which simulates a hand shower spray for female stimulation but without the water splashing around, so it can be used anywhere.
Still one more object of the present invention is to provide a water based female stimulation device which may be used hands free on a stand or strapped on or held by hand.
In brief, a water pump shoots a pulsating, swirling or steady stream (jet) of water against a thin layer of latex-like film. The water drains back down into the water tank to be recycled. The water pump will continuously pump the water and shoot it onto the film. The reservoir may be used to heat the water as desired. The effect of the impact of the water jet hitting on the latex film simulates the effect of a hand held showerhead in a bath (or better) when placed to contact a clitoris.
The device contains four main parts: pump, front film, tank and the handle. The water pump is attached on top of the water tank. The suction nuzzle of the pump is lowered into the tank through the water sealer and below the water level. The pump sucks the water up and shoots the water through the discharge nuzzle in a pulsating, swirling, or steady stream directly onto the thin latex like film, preferably focused on a small point on the film.
The discharge nuzzle is extended out through the front cap. The film is attached around to the front cap. The film is attached to the front cap with a special groove around it. After the water jet hits the film the water drains down through the return flow and the return flow valve back into the water tank. The battery is located directly above the pump or adjacent to the pump above the water tank. Both the pump and the battery are located inside the casing of the device which has a handle area for holding the device. The control switch is located on the handle for ease of use. An optional attachment socket is located on the front of the water tank and just below the front cap and the film. The user is able (optional) to use different insertion attachments protruding from the device directly below the film.
The unique attributes and advantages of the present invention include:
These and other details of my invention will be described in connection with the accompanying drawings, which are furnished only by way of illustration and not in limitation of the invention, and in which drawings:
In
A water-tight housing 15 and 15A has an opening 14 with a flexible water proof membrane 30, preferably a Latex film, removably attached to the water tight housing by a removable cap 16 over the opening. The membrane 30 is removable and replaceable for cleaning the membrane or substituting a new membrane. A water reservoir 26 communicates with the at least one water-tight housing 15 via a pump 24 for pumping a flow of water through a collection tube 25 from the reservoir 26 into the housing 15 and 15A and a gravity feed return channel 19 for returning the water back into the reservoir 26 for re-circulation, which channel may have a one-way hinged cover 28 to allow gravity flow of water from the water-tight housing 15 to the reservoir 26, but prevent water from the reservoir 26 flowing directly into the water-tight housing 15 should the device be tilted over.
A water nozzle 27 in the water-tight housing 15 is adapted for directing the flow of water from the pump 24 in a focused stream of water 10 onto a stimulator area 31, which may protrude slightly, on the membrane 30. The membrane 30 is adapted to expand away from the casing under pressure from the focused stream of water 10, as indicated by the dome shape of the membrane 30 which is flat when the pump is off, so that the stimulator area 31 of the membrane is adapted to be positioned to contact a genital area of a female user to stimulate the genital area. The device is adapted to retain a quantity of water therein and to re-circulate the quantity of water through the pump 26, the water tight housing, and the reservoir 24.
A handle portion 12 is adapted to be held by a hand of a user to position the device. A control switch 22 to control the pump is preferably located in the handle portion 12 for ease of use. In
In
The pump 24 and nozzle 27 may pump a steady jet of liquid 10 at the stimulator area 31 of the membrane 30 and it may have a built-in adapter R 13 connected with the pump and the nozzle for varying the flow of the focused stream of liquid 10, creating a pulsating jet or a swirling jet of liquid at the stimulator area 31 of the membrane 30.
A circular return liquid collector area 26 may be an annular reservoir or tank T with liquid return openings 19A or the liquid return openings 19A may comprise a series of tubes conducting the liquid from the membrane area back into the pump 26.
The battery holding portion 23 outside of the pump 26 may serve as a handle 12 for the device and the control switch 22 may be positioned on the battery holding portion 23 for convenience of use.
The device may have a base portion 40, as in FIGS. .2, 3, and 7 adapted to rest on a surface for storage or in the case of the low profile casing 21D of
In
In
The device may further comprise an adjustable heating element 11, which may be built into or attached to the pump 24, for heating the quantity of water contained in the device to a desired temperature.
The device may further comprise a regulator 13 built into or attached to the pump 24, as a means for creating a pulsating or swirling or twisting stream of water 10 onto the membrane as alternatives to a normal steady stream of water 10.
In use, the device is operated on low voltage and is harmless. The water level in the reservoir 26 should be checked before use, and filled up to a marked water line if necessary, which can be accomplished through the opening 14 by removing the membrane 30. The latex film or other membrane 30 would then be secured over the opening 14 by a snap fit or threaded cap 16 to create a water-tight seal.
The Latex film could be replaced as needed. Battery operated models install batteries and turn on/off switch to the desirable intensity.
For AC adapter operated models, the adapter is plugged into the outlet and the control switch 22 and 22A turned to the desirable speed. The device is designed to be operated in the up right position only. Water may be drained when not in use for a period of time and when transporting the device and the water replaced as needed (once a month or more).
The device is turned on and positioned adjacent to the female genital area to cause stimulation.
It is understood that the preceding description is given merely by way of illustration and not in limitation of the invention and that various modifications may be made thereto without departing from the spirit of the invention as claimed.
