  • Patent number: 9968081
    Abstract: A hunting decoy apparatus, wherein the decoy exhibits lifelike movements controlled mechanically by a user. The apparatus comprises an outer sleeve member and a movable slidable member slidably engaged within the outer sleeve member. The outer sleeve member attaches to the ground. The decoy stand is inserted into the movable sliding member and extends perpendicular from the outer sleeve member in an upward direction with a decoy on top. The distal ends of the slidable inner sleeve member and the outer sleeve member are connected by an extension limiting biasing element such as a spring or elastic cord. A tether is attachable to the proximal end of the movable slidable member. To activate movement of the decoy, the tether is pulled and released by the user causing the decoy and decoy stand to move within the slot forward and backwards. Small tugs on the tether by the user causes the decoy to move in lifelike movements creating the appearance the decoy is bobbing and pecking like a wild bird.

  • Patent number: 8062208
    Abstract: The erogenic stimulator may be a two-piece stimulator for use by two partners or may be an erogenic stimulator hanger for a phallic body member. The phallic body member includes a distal end and a proximal base end with one or more radial flange elements. The second member (sometimes referred to as the hanger) has a bulbous proximal end portion, sized for receipt in an anal or vaginal cavity, a U-shaped curved stem leading a distal annulus. The annulus has an opening with a cross-sectional dimension greater than the maximal cross-sectional dimension of the phallic body member. The phallic body member is inserted and hung on the annulus of the U-shaped second member-hanger. The inboard face of the annulus abuts the inboard face of the flange elements of the cylindrical body member.

  • Patent number: 7998057
    Abstract: The stimulator includes a first resilient cylindrical (phallic-shaped) end and a second, shorter resilient cylindrical end with an expandable-deflatable bulb disposed therein. A truncated U-shaped stimulator is formed by a base connecting the ends. One embodiment permits manual bulb contraction and resilient material expansion with air or fluid ejection/admission. Another embodiment inflates the bulb manually with pressurized air/fluid (orally) with a one-way valve and user controlled valve release, or inflates the bulb with a pump. An external or on-board pump maybe used. The on-board internal pump has a depressible wall pump bladder on the stimulator. The inflatable-deflatable bulb maybe connected to the base via a reduced diameter neck. A method controllably inflates and deflates the bulb and changes its cross-sectional dimensions under user controls.

  • Patent number: 7530944
    Abstract: The erogenic stimulator includes a first resilient end region (phallic) extending from a base and a second resilient bulbous end region extending therefrom. The bulbous end is connected via a reduced diameter neck to the base. The base and first and second ends form a truncated substantially U-shaped stimulator. A concave suction element is formed on the base in the curved portion of the U-shape. A passageway may be included from the concave suction element through the base into which may be inserted either a plug or a vibratory element. The plug/vibratory element closes the base end of the passageway thereby permitting expansion and contraction of the passageway dependent upon a predetermined condition at the suction opening of the passageway. If the suction element contacts the skin or an erogenous region and blocks the passageway, the rocking stimulator suctions and evacuates, alternatively, air through the suction opening of the passageway.

  • Patent number: 5690603
    Abstract: A self-retaining erogenic simulator that provides simultaneous stimulation to both users thereof, whether they be of the same sex or of the opposite sex. This simulator is configured with a first phallic end which is used in the normal manner and a second bulbous end which is inserted within the vaginal or anal cavity of the wearing partner. This bulbous end is shaped with a neck-down region that enables this device to be held in place during use by the wearers' muscle groups without the need for straps or the like. Also, adjacent the base of the phallic end may be raised nubs which are designed for the clitoral stimulation of the wearing partner (when such partner is female) whether the device is inserted vaginally or anally. A hollowed-out area in the base can hold vibrating means for increased stimulation; or a fluid chamber within the apparatus allows the flow of fluid therein to increase stimulation.
