  • Patent number: 8308631
    Abstract: An electronic variable stroke device comprise a base portion containing a motor-driven screw shaft, an upper portion extending from the base portion having the screw shaft extending longitudinally therein, a traveler engaged with the screw shaft to drive it in reciprocating longitudinal motion. The traveler has an annular shape with an aperture therethrough which is driven in reciprocating longitudinal motions for use as a male sex toy. The device configuration may include a pair of screw threads spaced apart in parallel with the traveler engaged in between them, and/or multiple travelers arranged at different longitudinal positions of the screw shaft(s). A remote controller unit may be provided for ergonomic operation by the user. A network connection unit may be provided to connect the user's device to an external service provider on a network for conducting interactive sessions remotely with another user or users.

  • Patent number: 7438681
    Abstract: An electronic reciprocation device has a base containing a motor-driven screw shaft, an upper body having the screw shaft extending longitudinally therein, and a traveler engaged with the screw shaft to drive the upper body in positioning and reciprocating motion. A remote control unit can be used for comfortable operation of the device. A network connection unit is provided to connect the user's device to an external service website on the Internet or other networks. The user's device may be adapted as a male or female sex toy, and can exchange control signals on the Internet with one or more other users operating complementary sex toys. The Internet service can host interactive sessions with other users, groups of users, and even non-participating spectators. It preferably has a 3-tier structure of an administrator tier, hosted services tier, and affiliated play host tier for expansive offerings of interactive services to its users.
