  • Publication number: 20230111787
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention relate to an improved stimulation device. More specifically, the simulation device comprises a cup formed of a flexible resilient material, with a cavity, and opening and a flexible cap which may swell and unswell in response to internal pressure changes in the cavity of the device to match a user's preferences.

  • Publication number: 20230023890
    Abstract: Disclosed embodiments provide an improved stimulation device. Embodiments of the improved stimulation device include a cup and a driver. The cup has a cavity surrounded by a rim. In use, a user positions the rim such that an opening to the cavity is over an area of a user's body to be stimulated (for example, the clitoris). A sealed-, or substantially-sealed, main chamber is formed by the cavity walls and the user's body (skin surrounding the clitoris). A pressure field is generated in the main chamber. The device includes a voice coil motor that drives a linear actuator. This enables the volume of the cavity, and changes in volume, to be electronically controlled. The change in total volume causes a change in pressure experienced by the user. This allows the user to adjust the pressure based on comfort and pleasure as per user preferences.

  • Patent number: 11517495
    Abstract: Disclosed embodiments provide a pressure field stimulation device having an arm adaptable in shape. Embodiments of the improved stimulation device include a cup, a driver, and an arm. The arm is flexible in such a way that it holds its position when bent. The adaptable arm may be a handle, a member insertable into the vagina or rectum, or a connection member between the pressure field stimulator and another stimulator. In use, a user positions a rim of the cup such that an opening to the cavity is over an area to be stimulated (e.g., the clitoris). A sealed-, or substantially-sealed, chamber is formed by the cavity walls and the user's skin (surrounding the clitoris). A pressure field is generated in the chamber, providing sexual stimulation to the clitoris. The user can adjust the placement of the cup by bending the arm.

  • Patent number: 11504296
    Abstract: Disclosed embodiments provide an improved personal massager device. The massager device includes a stimulator, which is G-spot stimulator or a prostate stimulator. The stimulator includes an enclosure having an opening. A threaded post is disposed within the enclosure. The threaded post has a plurality of pitched threads. A roller is disposed within the plurality of pitched threads. The roller protrudes outside the opening of the enclosure. The threaded post is rotated back and forth by a motor, and as it does so, the roller traverses a path. A sheath is disposed tightly over the enclosure. The roller presses the sheath against the G-spot or prostate of the user, providing stimulation. In some embodiments, one or more of a start position of the roller and an end position of the roller are defined by user input.

  • Patent number: 11318064
    Abstract: Embodiments of the improved stimulation device include a cup and a driver. The cup has a cavity surrounded by a rim. The driver comprises a plate disposed on an underside of the cup, a cam disposed adjacent to the plate, and a motor mechanically coupled to the cam. The driver is configured to intermittently vary a volume of the cavity of the cup from a first volume to a second volume without returning the cup from the second volume to the first volume. In some embodiments, the cup returns from the second volume to the first volume, in between intermittent varying from the first volume to the second volume, due to the resilient nature of the material of the cup and/or the configuration of the cup. This varying of the volume between the first and second volumes creates a pressure field in a chamber formed by the cavity and a user's skin.

  • Patent number: 11229574
    Abstract: Disclosed embodiments provide a massager having at least one expandable chamber. In some embodiments, there is provided an expandable shaft chamber that is inflatable to push a stimulator towards the G-spot of the user to increase contact pressure in that area. This inflation can also allow for a hands-free experience by expanding the width of the shaft inside the vagina for a snug fit tight against the vaginal or rectum walls. In some embodiments, there is provided an expandable ring chamber that is inflatable to securely hold a massager device inside the vagina or rectum, allowing for a hands-free experience.

  • Patent number: 11185463
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention relate to an improved stimulation device. Embodiments of the improved stimulation device includes a cup and a driver. The cup has a cavity surrounded by a rim. The driver comprises a plate disposed on an underside of the cup, a cam disposed adjacent to the plate, and a motor mechanically coupled to the cam. The driver comprises a cam pin affixed to the cam, and a bearing rotatably disposed on the cam pin. The bearing is mechanically coupled to a lifter. The lifter is mechanically coupled to a linear bearing, enabling a smooth reciprocating back-and-forth motion from the rotation of the motor. A top of the cup swells and unswells during an operation cycle of the driver.

  • Publication number: 20210228437
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention relate to a pressure field stimulation device including a sheath having an integrated cup. The sheath and cup are together formed of (or consist of) a single piece of material. The pressure field stimulator has a cup and a driver, where the driver is configured to vary a volume of the cup. The pressure filed field stimulator has a housing that has an opening therein with an edge on which a portion of the cup rests when installed. The sheath is tightly bound to the housing such that a driver can make contact with the cup. In some embodiments, the pressure field stimulator has a shaft portion, which may include a second stimulation device. The sheath can be bound over the shaft portion as well as the pressure field stimulator housing.

  • Patent number: 11065176
    Abstract: Disclosed embodiments provide an improved stimulation device, including a cup and a driver. The cup has a cavity surrounded by a rim. In use, a user positions the rim such that an opening to the cavity is over an area to be stimulated (for example, the clitoris). A sealed- or substantially-sealed, chamber is formed by the cavity walls and the user's skin (surrounding the clitoris). A driver is configured to vary a volume of a cavity of a cup from a first volume to a second volume. The cup returns from the second volume to the first volume, in between intermittent varying from the first volume to the second volume, due to a buckle region wall of the cup springing out. The varying of the volume creates a pressure field in the chamber. The springing out produces a “thud” force, also used interchangeably with “thump” force.

  • Patent number: 10980703
    Abstract: Disclosed embodiments provide an improved stimulation device. Embodiments of the improved stimulation device include a cup and a driver. The cup has a cavity surrounded by a rim. In use, a user positions the rim such that an opening to the cavity is over an area to be stimulated (for example, the clitoris). A sealed-, or substantially-sealed, chamber is formed by the cavity walls and the user's skin (surrounding the clitoris). A pressure field is generated in the chamber without generating a pressure below a reference pressure, which is gauge pressure reading of zero. In some embodiments, this is achieved by a driver configured to vary a volume of the cavity in such a way that the varied volume is not larger than an initial volume. In some embodiments, the stimulation device is a sex toy. In some embodiments, the stimulation device is a medical device.
