Definitions

  • the invention relates to a stimulation device for example a male genital stimulation device.
  • a known device is described in US5501650 and comprises a receiver for receiving a male organ including a rigid tubular outer body and a flexible inner liner with a sealed air space between them connected to an external pump. By creating an alternating under and overpressure in the air space the receiver performs a reciprocating motion on the organ. The reciprocation/displacement and rate can be varied by altering the range of pressure variation and rate of pressure variation respectively.
  • known systems suffer from various disadvantages. For example known systems are designed to fit one size of organ only-meaning that a wide range of receivers is required; provide a limited stroke variation displacement or rate and do not accommodate additional stimulation accessories.
  • the assembly can be made suitable for various different organ sizes.
  • a pump including outlets to respective accessories in both directions of piston or diaphragm reciprocation, either side of the working chamber can be used and additional functionality can be provided.
  • a pump with a variable pressure or stroke arrangement, the action of the pump can be varied more effectively during operation.

  • a stimulation device assembly such as a male genital stimulation device assembly includes a male organ receiver which has an adjustable length outer body, for example by cutting or telescoping, and a cap assembly.
  • a tubular liner of flexible material folds on to the receiver to create a pump space hence providing a variable length receiver.
  • the stroke or pressure variation provided by the pump can be adjusted, for example by providing a pressure relief or bleed assembly or variable expansion vessel for normal operation, which can be switched out such that the pressure variation can be rapidly changed to enhance the action of the device.
  • both halves of the stroke that is, both sides of the working chamber, can be used to pump air or other fluid to respective assemblies (independently of each other and without performance loss associated with running accessories in parallel on the same side of the pump), such that additional accessories to the receiver can be added.
  • a stimulation device assembly according to an embodiment of the invention can be understood in more detail.
  • the assembly includes a piston pump 100, a drive 120, a receiver 130 and a controller or remote control 140.
  • the piston pump 100 includes a reciprocating piston 102 which can reciprocate in opposing directions A and B in a pump chamber 104.

  • the pump pressure outlet 106 is in fluid communication via a pipe or other fitting 132 with the receiver 130 which includes a rigid tubular or similarly shaped outer body 134, a flexible liner 136 and a cap 138.
  • the flexible liner 136 and outer body 134 form an airtight space 142 therebetween, which is in fluid communication with the piston pump 100 via fitting 132.
  • the cap 138 includes a valve 144 relieving excess pressure in the space 148 above a male organ 146 received within the inner surface defined by the liner 136.
  • the air space 142 inflates, the increase in pressure drives the receiver 130 upwardly due to a squeezing action on the male organ 146.
  • the receiver reciprocates downwardly on the male organ. This is because of the pressure drop in the airtight space 148 formed above the male organ, which draws it in.
  • the one way valve 144 provides release if there is excess air in the space 148.
  • Figs. 2a and 2b This can be understood further in Figs. 2a and 2b.
  • the airspace 142 is inflated, the receiver 130 is driven upwardly on the male organ 146 due to a squeezing action of liner 136, with excess air being relieved through valve 144.
  • a vacuum is created in space 148 above the male organ 146 because the one way air valve 144 is closed, as a result of which the receiver is drawn downwardly on the male organ 146.
  • the rate of reciprocation can be varied by varying the rate of the pump operation.
  • the stroke length or displacement of the receiver can be varied by altering the pressure variation in the airspace 142.
  • the penetration depth or mean displacement of the receiver that is to say the position about which it reciprocates, can be altered by adjusting the total amount of air in the system (meaning the air contained between the piston 102 and the flexible liner 136).
  • drive rod 122 drives a piston (not shown) in piston pump 100 as described above.
  • the drive rod in turn is driven by a connector rod 300 connected to a rotating crank arm 302 driven by a motor of any appropriate form (not shown).
  • rotation of the crank arm 302 causes reciprocation of the drive rod 122.
  • the rate of reciprocation is controlled by the rate of rotation of the crank arm 302. The displacement of the
  • the piston 102 is driven to reciprocate within the chamber 104 of piston pump 100 by drive rod 122.
  • the piston includes opposing seals 500, 502 as can be best seen in Fig. 5b such that an over-pressure or under-pressure is created within the chamber 104 in both directions of reciprocation.

  • any appropriate seal type can be used, for example, opposing V-type seals as shown in Fig. 5b.
  • a diaphragm pump 1508, shown in Fig. 15, comprises a diaphragm 1500 within a pump chamber 1514.
  • the diaphragm 1500 divides the pump chamber 1514 into two separate halves and is secured at the sides of the chamber by airtight side clamps 1510, 1512.
  • a diaphragm clamp 1506 connects a drive rod 122 to the centre of the diaphragm 1500.
  • the diaphragm 1500 is flexible yet robust such that when the drive rod 122 reciprocates, the diaphragm reciprocates in turn, causing an increase in pressure on one side of the chamber followed by an increase in pressure on the other side of the chamber.
  • the chamber 1514 contains pressure outlets 1502, 1504 to which a receiver 130 or additional accessories such as a pulsating inflatable stimulation accessory 1906 or reciprocating phallic simulacrum 2014 such as a Fleshlight (tm) can be connected.

  • the chassis supporting the components can be a one piece bent metal construction and can provide a tunnel-like structure though which air is drawn to cool the motor or any drive electronics. Because the whole pump unit is isolated mechanically from the case it can be very quiet, and provide improved functionality, packaging, assembly design, simplicity and low cost manufacturing. Additional cooling elements in conjunction with the assembly for example fan cooling can be provided as appropriate.

  • the crank arm 302 and connecting rod 300 can be adjusted through a slot 1404 in the window 1402 of the pump housing 1400, allowing adjustment without removing the safety guard 1406.
  • the depth of insertion of the organ and the force exerted on it can be varied by use of a pressure relief or bypass system or variable expansion vessel as described with reference to Figs. 12 and 13.
  • crank eccentricity is proportional to displacement of the stimulation device receiver about a fixed point on the male organ.
  • varying the crank arm eccentricity is difficult to achieve quickly and so an alternative approach is described in which real time variability is provided.
  • an auto adjusting crank arm or variable linear actuator can be implemented.
  • An alternative approach is shown in Fig. 13 at 1300.
  • a variable expansion vessel provides a reservoir for pressure variation in addition to the airspace 142 in the receiver itself. As a result less air is received by the receiver, reducing the motion as described above.
  • the manner in which pressure is bled off can be via valve 1310 to an appropriate recipient assembly or variable expansion vessel such as bellows 1318 (in arrangement 1302).
  • the maximum volume of the bellows can be limited with end stop 1301.
  • End stop 1301 may be controlled electronically.
  • Optional return assist spring 1319 helps to expel air from the bellows when the pressure decreases.
  • the valve 1310 is left open in normal operation. When closed at an instance of minimum pressure, the displacement variation in the airspace 142 of the receiver 130 immediately increases providing instant and significant variation in device reciprocation stroke distance.
  • valve 1310 The effect of closing valve 1310 on pressure with respect to crank angle can be seen in Fig. 17.
  • valve 1310 is left open.
  • the increase in pressure is gradual as air is initially taken in by bellows 1318 due to the fact that the bellows are less able to resist pressure change than airtight space 142.
  • the airtight space 142 within the liner 136 begins to fill.
  • due to the volume of the bellows 1318 there is a small change in total pressure resulting in a small variation in device reciprocation stroke distance.
  • valve 1310 When the maximum capacity of the bellows is reduced, by tightening the adjustable end stop 1301, the pressure and therefore device reciprocation stroke distance will increase, as described by line 1700.
  • valve 1310 When valve 1310 is closed at an instance of minimum pressure, the reciprocation stroke distance will reach a maximum, as illustrated by line 1704. Thus, closing valve 1310 provides instant and significant variation in device reciprocation stroke distance.
  • valve 1310 may be dependent on the position of the piston 102.
  • a crank position sensor 1330 which senses the position of the crank arm, which is directly correlated to the position of the piston 102, may be used to determine the position of the piston 102.
  • the opening and closing of valve 1310 may be dependent on position sensors 1332 which determine the degree of inflation of the bellows 1318.
  • Mean depth of insertion of the organ 146 is determined by the total amount of air present in the cavity between the piston 102 and liner 136 (that is to say the number of moles of air confined between the piston 102 and liner 136 and all intermediate components such as the pump line 132 or bellows 1318). Consequently, mean depth can be varied by increasing or decreasing the amount of air. Increasing the amount of air can be achieved with assembly 1304. When solenoid valve 1314 is opened, air enters via one way valve 1320. Decreasing the amount of air in the system can be achieved with assembly 1305. When solenoid valve 1315 is opened, air exits via one way valve 1321. The benefit of using one way valves 1320, 1321 is that they can be opened at any stage in the pumping cycle. In effect, therefore, this varies the depth of insertion of the organ 146 in the receiver instantly, again providing improved functionality.
  • both the forward and reverse stroke of the piston can be used to drive accessories.
  • the forward stroke is used to drive the receiver liner but of course this can be reversed.
  • the back stroke can be used, for example to drive another "pulsating" device, for example a massage or insertable accessory for stimulation of other zones or organs, or for dual use.
  • a pulsating inflatable stimulation accessory 1906 is shown.
  • the accessory is connected to one of the pressure outlets 106, 108 via an inlet 1900 attached to a body 1902.
  • the body 1902 can be formed of any appropriate material but is preferably light weight and formed by, for example, one piece plastic injection moulding to reduce the risk of leak paths.
  • Balloon 1904 which is designed to be inserted into an orifice of the body, inflates and deflates in accordance with increases and decreases in pressure.
  • the balloon is made from a flexible yet strong material, such as rubber or latex, so that it is able to inflate freely without bursting or being easily ruptured.
  • a reciprocating phallic simulacrum 2014 is shown in FIG. 20 .
  • a chamber 2012 is connected to one of the pump pressure outlets 106, 108 via an air inlet 2000.
  • a plunger 2010 is connected to a plunger seal 2002 at one end.
  • the plunger seal 2002 is designed such that it prevents air entering or escaping the system, yet allows the plunger 2010 to slide freely inside the chamber 2012.
  • the opposite end of the plunger 2010 is connected to a phallic simulacrum 2008.
  • the phallic simulacrum 2008 may be detachable such that it can be easily replaced or substituted.
  • the exterior of the chamber may optionally include a handle 2004 or a mounting connector 2006 for connection to a stand or similar.
  • the plunger 2010 will hit one of the ends of the chamber 2012 (bottom out). This may cause the pump 100 to stall and cut out or overheat. This will happen when the pump piston 102 and the plunger 2010 are not synchronised.
  • One method of overcoming this issue is to place a sensor in the chamber 2012. This sensor senses the position of the plunger 2010 by sensing a magnet in the plunger 2010, or by any other appropriate means. When the plunger reaches an end the chamber 2012, the pressure in the system is relieved, for example, via one way valve 1321 by opening solenoid valve 1315.
