Benefits of technology
[0005] The present invention is directed to a swivel stand device that is sized and shaped to receive a vibrating / massaging device and that allows for improved manipulation of the device without requiring use of a user's hands. The swivel stand comprises a shaft receiving receptacle pivotally mounted on to a base member through a ball and joint attachment. The receptacle is adapted for receiving and retaining the base of a vibrating / massaging device. The shaft receiving receptacle has a longitudinal slot in its side that receives the vibrator's electrical cord or the like for connecting the device to a battery or control box without interfering with the proper seating of the device's base within the receptacle. The side slot provides a convenient way to retain the cord so that it does not interfere with the snug fit of the vibrating / massaging device in the receptacle. It further provides for slight expansion of the receptacle walls to permit slightly larger diameter devices to be received in the receptacle.
[0007] It is therefore an object of the invention to provide a stand for a vibrating / massaging device that can be attached to a wide variety of surfaces. It is a further object of the invention to provide a stand that enables the vibrating / massaging device to be manipulated into a wide variety of orientations and positions with respect to the surface engaged by the base. It is still further an object of the invention to provide a stand for a vibrating / massaging device that can accommodate an electrical or power cord disposed at the bottom of the device.
Problems solved by technology
The sexual device industry is fast becoming a significant market force, and the styles and varieties of sexual aids is limited only by the imagination.
On occasion, however, it may be inconvenient or impractical to use one's hand, especially if the user has her hands engaged with a partner or is engaged in some other activity.
While it may be possible to affix the vibrator or massager to a surface, the result may be dissatisfying if the rigid placement of the device does not allow for reciprocal movement with the user, and may even cause pain.
Vibrators occasionally have power cords which can be a hindrance when mounting the device.
For those vibrating devices which have a cord emanating from their base shaft end, however, a receptacle mounting means poses a problem.
While a open-bottomed receptacle might permit the cord to be guided through, it presents an inconvenience to the user in having to thread the cord through the open bottom end.

Embodiment Construction
[0017] Referring to the drawings, a preferred embodiment of the swivel stand of the present invention is illustrated and generally indicated as 10 in FIGS. 1-7. The stand is comprised of receiving receptacle 12, ball joint member 14, and base member 16. Receiving receptacle 12 is hollow and is adapted to receive the shaft base end of a vibrating / massaging device 18 as seen in FIG. 7. To permit expansion of side walls 20, receiving receptacle is preferably comprised of plastic. Expansion of the side walls will allow a massaging device with a slightly larger diameter to be held in the receiving receptacle in a snug fit. A side slot 22 is disposed in receiving receptacle 12, and extends from a top lip thereof for a substantial distance down the side of receptacle 12 as shown in FIG. 1. Side slot 22 also permits expansion of side walls 20 to receive a massaging device with a slightly larger diameter to be held in the receiving receptacle in a snug fit.
