FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a wearable device for male genitalia according to an embodiment of the inventive concept. FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of a wearable device for male genitalia in FIG. 1 according to an embodiment of the inventive concept.

Referring to FIG. 1, a wearable device 1 for male genitalia according to an embodiment of the inventive concept may be composed of a body 10, a hinge 11, a light radiation device 12, and a power button 13.

The body 10 may be in the form of a half ring.

In detail, the body 10 may include a left body 10(1) which is connected with one end of the hinge 11 to be in contact with a user's (male's) penis (not shown) and face a left scrotum (not shown) and a right body 10(2) which is connected with the other end of the hinge 11 to be in contact with the user's penis and face a right scrotum (not shown).

The body 10 may be formed of various materials, such as a plastic material or an elastic material, and may have various forms other than the above-mentioned half-ring form.

The hinge 11 may be provided in the body 10.

In detail, the hinge 11 may be provided in a middle point of the body 10. One end of the hinge 11 may be connected with the left body 10(1), and the other end of the hinge 11 may be connected with the right body 10(2).

In other words, one ends of the left and right bodies 10(1) and 10(2) may have a through hole (not shown) to keep the hinge 11. One half of the hinge 11 may be kept in the left body 10(1) through the through hole, and the other half of the hinge 11 may be kept in the right body 10(2) through the through hole.

The hinge 11 may be adjusted in angle to position the penis and the scrotum at an inner side of the body 10. The hinge 11 may be composed of an elastic material or the like.

In detail, when external forces are applied to the left and right bodies 10(1) and 10(2) in opposite directions, an angle between the left and right bodies 10(1) and 10(2) may increase.

When the external forces are applied to the left and right bodies 10(1) and 10(2) in the same directions, the angle between the left and right bodies 10(1) and 10(2) may decrease.

As described above, when the external forces are applied to the left and right bodies 10(1) and 10(2) in different directions, the angle between the left and right bodies 10(1) and 10(2) may be increased by the hinge 11 and a user (not shown) may position the penis and the scrotum at the inner side of the body 10.

Furthermore, when the external forces are applied to the left and right bodies 10(1) and 10(2) in the same directions in the state where the penis and the scrotum are positioned at the inner side of the body 10, the angle between the left and right bodies 10(1) and 10(2) may be decreased by the hinge 11 and the penis and the scrotum may be fixed to the inner side of the body 10.

Meanwhile, the wearable device 1 for male genitalia may be positioned in the direction of the center of the human body with respect to a virtual normal vector which has a center of gravity perpendicular to the ground parallel to an XY plane and passes through one point of an upper surface of the penis which is in contact with the wearable device 1 for male genitalia.

Because the center of gravity of the wearable device 1 for male genitalia is positioned in the direction of the center of the human body, the wearable device 1 for male genitalia may be fixed without being detached from the penis and the scrotum.

At this time, the body 10 may be in contact with the penis while having a predetermined angle (a degrees) with respect to the XY plane such that the center of gravity of the wearable device 1 for male genitalia is positioned in the direction of the center of the human body with respect to the virtual normal vector.

For example, the body 10 may be in contact with the penis while having any predetermined angle (a degrees) between from 70 degrees to 120 degrees with respect to the XY plane, but the inventive concept is not limited thereto.

The body 10 may be in contact with the penis while having the predetermined angle (a degrees) corresponding to various angles such that the center of gravity of the wearable device 1 for male genitalia is positioned in the direction of the center of the human body.

In other words, as the center of gravity of the wearable device 1 for male genitalia is positioned in the direction of the center of the human body, the body 10 may be in contact with the penis while having any predetermined angle (a degrees) which is not detached from the scrotum and the penis.

Meanwhile, because the user is able to use the wearable device 1 for male genitalia in the state where he or she wears the wearable device 1 for male genitalia on the penis and the scrotum in his or her underwear (pants), it may be prevented from being detached from the penis and the scrotum.

The light radiation device 12 may be provided in the body 10 to radiate a predetermined light in the direction of the penis and the scrotum.

Meanwhile, although not illustrated in FIGS. 2A and 2B, a transparent plate (not shown) may be further included in an inner surface of the body 10 facing the penis and the scrotum. In other words, the light radiated from the plurality of point light sources LS may be radiated in the direction of the penis and the scrotum through the transparent plate (not shown).

The predetermined wavelength band of the light radiated from the light radiation device 12 may include an infrared band from the entire visible light band to 900 nm.

For example, the predetermined wavelength band of the light radiated from the light radiation device 12 may correspond to between from 630 nm to 880 nm, but the inventive concept is not limited thereto. The predetermined wavelength band of the light radiated from the light radiation device 12 may be set to various wavelength bands capable of improving a user's reproductive function to increase a user's testosterone level.

The duration when the light is radiated from the light radiation device 12 may be preset.

For example, the predetermined duration when the light is radiated from the light radiation device 12 may be 1 minute or 3 minutes, but the inventive concept is not limited thereto. The duration when the light is radiated from the light radiation device 12 may be variously set.

The power button 13 may be provided on an outer side of the body 10.

For example, the power button 13 may be provided on an outer side of the left body 10(1) or may be provided on an outer side of the right body 10(2).

When the power button 13 is pressed during a certain time by the user, the wearable device 1 for male genitalia may be turned on. Power supplied from the outside or previously charged power may be supplied to the light radiation device 12.

Meanwhile, when the power button 13 is pressed again during the certain time by the user who completes the use of the wearable device 1 for male genitalia, the wearable device 1 for male genitalia may be turned off and the user may end the use.

Alternatively, when the predetermined duration elapses, the radiation of the light from the light radiation device 12 may be stopped and the wearable device 1 for male genitalia may be automatically turned off.
