BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention is in the technical field of human factors engineering related to body position, stability, alignment, motion control, balance, lever action and safety. More particularly, the present invention is in the technical field of position, stability, alignment, motion control and safety to achieve benefits in ergonomic and human factors design specifically related to range of motion control and positioning for hands-free use of the invention. The present invention is also applicable to the field of robotics. Neurotransmitters related to pleasure and endogenous opioids are invoked when nerve bundles linked to pleasure in the human body are activated. Devices which leave both hands available to touch erogenous nerve centers around the human body augment the effectiveness of devices. One question: what body position works best when pursuing a pleasure response? One answer: Humans are upright. Having the torso upright leads to the best blood flow and a slight lean of the torso in the reclined position engages the stomach muscles and pelvic area. As a multifunctional invention, the novel aspects are: 1. Dual-ended reversibility. The base of the rigid tube flips and becomes the top with mount points to create the elevation for facilitation of optimized body position via weight offset and balance point and a lever. 2. Transformation. The rigid tube transforms into a simulated body orifice with the addition of flat fluffy material to form a role. 3. The rigid tube becomes a drying rack with the option to use a blow dryer to blow air through the uncovered top. Other functions include: 1. theft resistant protective packaging for shipping and retail 2. protective case for travel and carrying 3. water bottle design acts as a privacy shield 4. stand 5. weighted base when tube is reversed and water is added 6. sanitizing tube when boiling water or UV light is added. 7. handle
Objects which may be mounted or positioned hands-free at an appropriate angle aid with body positioning in the interaction with pleasurable nerve centers. For optimal performance devices must remain stable while in use because a user's body weight is involved.
In the case where the device must be held or moved a user will feel more confident if the device has a comfortable handle. The tube can be considered a handle and additional elements can be added to make it more handle like. Additional elements can be added to the tube to prevent marring of other surfaces and to deaden any sound from the use or droppage. The device should conform to the precise motion control of the user and should not be unstable wobble or jiggle unless this motion is desired.
