In the embodiment of the present application, as shown in
It can be understood that by providing the flexible connector 1, when the user needs massage, the flexible connector 1 can be clamped by deforming the force, and the massaging part can be massaged through the massage component 2. The transformable massager can easily adapt to the massage needs of different parts. At the same time, the present application can also perform massage when the flexible connector 2 is not bent. By providing the flexible connector 2, the present application realizes the flexible selection of multiple massage methods and achieves the purpose of wearing the transformable massager on the massaging part, which is easy to use. The flexible housing 3 adopted in the present application can not only ensure that the transformable massager can be deformed, but also improve the massage comfort. At the same time, the transformable massager is easy to store.
The massage component can perform vibration massage, swing massage, rotating bead massage or tapping massage.
The flexible connector 1 can take any one of the following shapes: L, U, S, Z, J, V, C, P, X and after deformation. The deformed shape of the flexible connector 1 can be changed by the user according to the usage scenario.
As shown in shaped. Specifically, the transformable massager can be deformed from the straight state shown in
It should be noted that the deformed form of the flexible connector 1 is not limited to the forms listed above.
In an embodiment, the flexible connector 1 is a memory metal elastic piece.
It can be understood that the use of memory metal spring material can achieve the purpose of rapid bending and deformation of the flexible connector 1. For example, when the wrist needs to massage, the transformable massager can be held with one hand, tap the flexible connector 1 on a position corresponding to the wrist to bend the flexible connector 1, and release at the same time, the whole transformable massager is clamped to the wrist. For another example, when the neck needs to massage, the two ends of the transformable massager can be held with both hands, and then apply force with both hands to make the flexible connector 1 fully formed, and then let go, and the transformable massager can automatically clamp on neck. When the transformable massager needs to be restored to its original state (straight state), just apply a force opposite to the bending direction. Under the effect the memory performance of the flexible connector 1, the flexible connector 1 quickly returns to the straight state, so that the transformable massager can quickly return to its original state. The massager of the present application that adopts memory metal shrapnel as the flexible connector 1 is particularly suitable for massaging the genitals. Taking the male genitals as an example, the flexible connector 1 allows the massager to be clamped on the male genitals, with the massage effect of the massage component 2, as the size of the male genitals increases, the flexible connector 1 will deform (the curvature gradually decreases) accordingly. During this process, under the action of the flexible connector 1, the massager can be stably held at the massaging part.
Furthermore, adopting the memory metal elastic pieces, when the bending angle of the flexible connector 1 is less than the angle threshold, the flexible connector 1 will always automatically maintain a bent state to stably clamp the massaging part. When the bending angle of the flexible connector 1 is bent to exceed the angle threshold, the flexible connector 1 automatically and quickly returns to a straight state and remains straight. That is, the flexible connector 1 enables the massager to achieve an effect of “straightening without retraction, and non-straightening with retraction”. In an embodiment, the angle threshold is 160°, in other embodiments, the angle threshold can also be other angle values. The angle threshold is a value less than 180° and can be affected by the material, thickness, width and length of the flexible connector.
In other embodiments, the flexible connector 1 may also be made of other deformable materials. Materials that can deform under force are within the protection scope of the present application and will not be described again here.
