This invention relates to sex machines. More particularly, this invention relates to sex machines that provide movement to a person during sex.
Humans reproduce by sexual intercourse in which a man's erect penis is moved in a reciprocating motion inside a woman's vagina. While all higher form animals reproduce by sexual intercourse, humans differ from other animals in many aspects of sex. First, humans engage in sex for reasons other than reproduction, including physical and emotional pleasure. Second, humans perform sexual intercourse in countless different positions. Third, in addition to vaginal sex, humans also perform oral sex and anal sex. Sex in which a bodily orifice is penetrated by a penis or a tongue is referred to herein as partner sex.
A variety of products are used by humans to enhance sex. One of the most popular sex enhancement products are dildos. Dildos have the general shape and size of an erect penis. They are made of a variety of materials and some include vibrating motors. Dildos enable a person to enjoy penetration without a partner. Sex in which a bodily orifice is penetrated by a dildo is referred to herein as solo sex. Dildos are generally held in the hand during penetration, but they are sometimes held in the mouth, mounted on a harness worn by a person, mounted on a holder, or placed against another surface.
Another type of sex enhancement products are machines that provide movement to one or both of the sexual partners. One class of machines are beds, benches, and stools that provide vibrations to the occupant. For example, Lewis, U.S. Pat. No. 2,659,365, issued Nov. 17, 1953, discloses a vibratory apparatus which is attached to a bed or to a bridge structure that rests on top of a bed to provide massage therapy. Miller, U.S. Pat. No. 2,694,394, issued Nov. 16, 1954, disclosed a bench-like seat with a vibratory element attached to the underside of the seat. Nohmura, U.S. Pat. No. 4,055,170 issued Oct. 25, 1977, discloses a health promoting apparatus consisting of a chair with a built in loudspeaker, which allows sound waves to be transmitted to the body of the person seated in it. All of these machines utilize a vibratory element to deliver energy to the user. This vibratory energy is typically at a frequency at, or above, 60 cycles per second (line frequency of household electrical current) and is generated by a solenoid or by a motor with an eccentrically weighted shaft or, in one case, by sound waves. The physical displacement of the body of the user, resulting from the vibratory energy imparted by these inventions, would typically be very small and localized (perhaps less than 0.1 inch).
A second class of machines are penetration devices for use in solo sex, i.e., by a single person. The majority utilize a dildo which is moved by a drive mechanism in a reciprocating fashion. For example, Harvey, U.S. Pat. No. 4,722,327, issued Feb. 2, 1988, discloses a machine having a dildo that extends from a drive housing that is driven in a reciprocating motion along tracks on a platform base. Segal, U.S. Pat. No. 4,790,296, issued Dec. 13, 1988, discloses a similar machine consisting of an attachment device which extends from a drive housing. This invention allows the user to attach a dildo (or a simulated female vagina) which is driven in a reciprocating motion. Black, U.S. Pat. No. 5,076,261, issued Dec. 31, 1991, likewise discloses a machine that has a dildo that extends from a drive housing. However, this drive mechanism introduces a random element to the motion due to the internal mechanism being suspended by elastic bands rather than a rigid motor mount. The user typically lies or kneels in close proximity to these machines and the dildo is driven into and out of one of the bodily orifices. These machines must be positioned by the user on a suitable surface such as a bed or the floor and there are no provisions for easily adjusting the machines for users of different heights in different positions. In addition, these machines are relatively light weight and do not provide the thrusting force of a full sized, adult partner.
A variety of machines have also been developed for the purpose of assisting couples with the physical aspects of sexual activity. For example, Farley, U.S. Pat. No. 3,971,592 issued Jul. 27, 1976, discloses a chair with a cutout in the seat for aiding sex for the infirm. Perlin, U.S. Pat. No. 4,571,761 issued Feb. 25, 1986 discloses a cutaway bed or lounge which allows a man to lie on his back while the woman stands over him with her legs in the cut out areas of the horizontal surface. Fuhrman et al., U.S. Pat. No. 5,385,154 issued Jan. 31, 1995 discloses a machine consisting of two seats facing one another on a horizontal track and a means of moving at least one of the seats toward and away from the other in a longitudinal direction for the purpose of reducing the effects of gravity and the expenditure of energy during sex. Hudak, U.S. Pat. No. 5,443,532 issued Aug. 22, 1995 discloses an inclined table with handles and stirrups for the purpose of enhancing sex.
Mitchum, Jr. U.S. Pat. No. 5,453,080 issued Sep. 26, 1995, discloses a machine similar to the aforementioned Fuhrman machine in which a disabled person is seated and their upper body supported while their partner is seated facing them. A hand lever or electric motor allows the partner's seat to be driven toward and away from the fixed seat of the disabled user. Fuhrman et al., U.S. Pat. No. 5,875,779 issued Mar. 2, 1999, discloses an arcuately reciprocating human sexual fitness machine. It too consists of two seats facing one another. Both are on rollers on a horizontal track, at floor level, to facilitate movement toward and away from one another. Waguri, U.S. Pat. No. 6,135,552 issued Oct. 24, 2000 discloses a rocking chair device for the purpose of assisting sexual intercourse of old or handicapped persons. It consists of two facing seats that are rocked toward and away from one another by an electric motor which, is tied to the seats by an eccentrically operated linkage. Fessler U.S. Pat. No. 6,640,808 issued Nov. 4, 2003, discloses an apparatus for sexual intercourse which consists of a flat padded support suspended by springs from a large frame. The frame incorporates foot rests and a handrail to accommodate a variety of sexual positions.
Most of the aforementioned inventions rely on human power or the use of springs or elastic cords to facilitate movement. All have limited or no adjustability to accommodate the physical differences from one person to the next. Accordingly, there exists a demand for a machine that incorporates the elements of a large displacement, moving or reciprocating platform with a penetration device. Further, a demand exists for a machine that is adjustable to accommodate users of varying statures and flexible enough to be used either with two persons in partner sex or by a single person in solo sex.
The general object of this invention is to provide an improved sex machine. A more particular object is to provide a reciprocating sex table upon which a person lies that can be used for partner sex or solo sex.
I have invented an improved sex table. The table comprises: (a) a base; (b) a platform mounted on the base, the platform being adapted for supporting a user at a height of about one to three feet; and (c) a means for moving the platform in a reciprocating motion relative to the base, wherein the reciprocating motion has a stroke of about one to six inches and a frequency of about 10 to 200 cycles per minute.
The sex table enables a user to enjoy the reciprocating penetration by a partner's erect penis without the need for the user or partner to move.
The sex table of this invention enables the user to lie, sit, or kneel upon a reciprocating platform in a comfortable position. The user controls the speed at which the platform reciprocates by means of a speed control such as a rheostat or the like. The user may wish for the platform to reciprocate in a slow, gentle, rocking motion or in a more aggressive thrusting motion. The sex table can be used in two basic ways. The first way is for partner sex with a partner standing at the foot end of the machine maintaining genital penetration. The second way is for solo sex. The sex table preferably incorporates a detachable appliance mounting holder for the purpose of positioning a dildo in a manner that facilitates vaginal or anal penetration when the user is lying, sitting, or kneeling on the reciprocating platform.
The sex table comprises a moveable platform mounted on rollers on top of a fixed base. Also mounted on the underside of the platform is a transverse channel or pocket. A gear motor is mounted on the base of the machine to drive the reciprocating movement of the platform. Output RPM (revolutions per minute) of the gear motor can be fixed or variable but would typically be in the range of about 10 to 200 rpm, preferably about 50 to 100 rpm. A cam roller (a shaft mounted bearing designed to follow an internal or external cam surface) is mounted to the output shaft of the gear motor by means of an eccentric coupling and drives the platform longitudinally, back and forth, as it rotates in an eccentric fashion in the transverse channel on the underside of the platform. The eccentricity of the coupling would typically be in the range of about one-half to three inches, preferably about one to two inches, and relates to the stroke, or displacement, of the platform by the formula:
Stroke=2×Eccentricity
Thus, an eccentricity of one-half inch yields a stroke of one inch and an eccentricity of three inches yields a stroke of six inches. The rotational motion of the motor and cam roller are converted to linear motion of the platform and the RPM of the motor relates directly to the frequency of the platform reciprocation (100 RPM motor speed yields 100 cycles per minute of platform reciprocation). Accordingly, the platform typically reciprocates at about 10 to 200 cycles per minute, preferably about 50 to 100 cycles per minute.
Unlike the prior art, this design drives the entire body of the user back and forth in a reciprocating motion with considerable force and displacement. This motion may be utilized as a massage therapy to reduce tension and stress by rocking the user in a back and forth motion. The motion may also be utilized in a plurality of ways as an aid to sexual activity for either healthy or physically challenged individuals. The machine drives the body of the user in a reciprocating motion so that the only action required by a sexual partner is to stand at the end of the machine and maintain genital penetration while the machine does the work. The reciprocating motion can also improve the effect of oral stimulation by a partner on the user by adding a thrusting component to the activity that would not normally be possible with oral sex. The design also incorporates a detachable appliance holder mounted on the fixed base which allows the user to self stimulate using a dildo. The appliance is adjusted for penetration when the user's body is thrust back and forth in the reciprocating motion.
Physically challenged individuals may also benefit from this design because they sometimes lack the strength or endurance to engage in sexual activity in the traditional manner. This design allows them to participate in the experience by reducing the physical strength and exertion required to engage in sexual activity. In addition, the flexibility of the design facilitates stimulation either alone or with a partner. Other features and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the following more detailed description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings which illustrate the principles of the invention.
Referring now to the drawings,
In
The lower frame is enclosed for both safety and cosmetic reasons. Two side panels 50 enclose the sides of the lower frame. Two panels enclose the ends of the machine, the end panel foot 54 and the end panel head 52. A bottom panel 56 completes the enclosure. Each of the side panels, end panel foot, end panel head, and bottom panel have through holes 58 along the perimeter of the panels for attachment to threaded holes 60 in the lower frame by means of a standard bolt 62.
The lower frame has a down tube 18 at each end which serves as the outer section of the telescoping height adjustment for the sex table. Each down tube has a single through hole 20 at the bottom end. Sliding inside each down tube is a leg assembly 22. The leg assembly is shaped like an inverted “T”. The vertical tube 24 of the leg assembly consists of a square tube, the outside dimensions of which are slightly smaller than the inside dimensions of the down tube, allowing the vertical tube of the leg assembly to slide (telescope) into and out of the down tube. Additionally, the vertical tube has holes 26 spaced along the length of the tube at intervals of approximately one inch. The height of the sex table is adjusted in a manner similar to that of an automotive jack stand and the like by supporting the weight of the platform with one hand and adjusting (sliding) the position of the leg assembly to the desired height. When a hole in the vertical tube 24 of the leg assembly lines up with the single through hole in the down tube, the user inserts a pin 28 to fix the height of the sex table. Since the adjustment of the height of the sex table is independent on each end, the height may be adjusted evenly for operation in a horizontal plane or unevenly to position the body of the user in an inclined configuration, either head up or head down, as the user desires.

On the upper end of the appliance mounting tube inner is a pivot tab tube inner 170 which mates to the pivot tab mounting block 172. The joint is clamped by a bolt 180 when the user has adjusted the mounting block 174 to the desired angle. The mounting block is a “V” block configuration molded or cut from a resilient material such as urethane or the like and shaped as such for the purpose of centering a generally round appliance within a range of diameters. Affixed to each side of the mounting block is a “D” ring 182 which provides an attachment point for each end of the hold down strap 176. The hold down strap is fabricated from either an elastomer such as rubber, or a webbed fabric of sufficient tensile strength to adequately clamp an appliance in the mounting block without breaking or allowing the appliance to slide longitudinally in the mounting block. The appliance mounting tube inner may be removed from the appliance mounting assembly to eliminate that portion of the assembly as an obstacle to the performance of normal sexual activity with a partner standing at that end of the sex table.

The upper portion of the shoulder tube assembly 124 consists of the shoulder tube assembly upper 134. The shoulder tube assembly upper is comprised of an inverted “U” shaped shoulder tube 136 with mounting flanges 138 on each end. The shoulder tube is covered with shoulder tube padding 137 to cushion the user's shoulders from the acceleration forces generated by the reciprocating sex table. The left and right sides of the shoulder tube upper are symmetrically opposite and are designated as shoulder tube upper left 134a and shoulder tube upper right 134b. Each mounting flange has two holes 140 for attaching the shoulder tube assembly upper to the shoulder tube inner assembly by lining up the holes 140 in the mounting flange with the holes 132 in the shoulder tube inner and the offset tube and inserting a conventional bolt 142 and nut 144.
