Patent number: 10357424Abstract: A device for sexual stimulation, preferably including: an interaction module; a power module; and a stimulation unit driver. The interaction module preferably includes a haptic stimulation unit enclosed by a first unitary housing and electrically coupled to a first electrical port. The power module preferably includes: an input mechanism; and a rechargeable battery enclosed by a second unitary housing and electrically coupled to a second electrical port. The first and second unitary housings are preferably configured to be removably mechanically coupled to each other by the first and second electrical ports, which are preferably configured to be removably electrically coupled to each other. When the first and second electrical ports are electrically coupled, the stimulation unit driver is preferably electrically coupled to the rechargeable battery, the haptic stimulation unit, and the input mechanism.Type: GrantFiled: February 15, 2017Date of Patent: July 23, 2019Assignee: Crave Innovations, Inc.Inventors: Michael Topolovac, Edwin Wood, Andrew Murphy, Tian Yi Chang, Kristrun Hjartar

Patent number: 9144531Abstract: One variation of a device for sexual stimulation includes: an interaction module, a power module, and a control module. The interaction module includes a housing, a female power port supported by the housing, and a first and a second vibratory actuator coupled to the female power port, isolated from the housing, and supported by the housing. The power module includes a battery coupled to a male power port. The male power port is configurable between: a first configuration in which the male power port transiently couples to an external power source to charge the battery; and a second configuration in which the male power port transiently retains the interaction module and powers the vibratory actuators to generate haptic vibratory stimulation. The control module configured to control vibratory magnitude settings and vibratory pattern settings of the vibratory actuators based upon inputs at input regions.Type: GrantFiled: August 13, 2012Date of Patent: September 29, 2015Assignee: Crave Innovations, Inc.Inventors: Michael Topolovac, Edwin Wood, Andrew Murphy, Tian Yi Chang, Kristrun Hjartar
