Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a device for permanently extending the penis, comprising a support ring and at least two extension rods, which are hingedly fastened to the support ring, axially elastically mounted by springs and longitudinally adjustable, wherein the extension rods comprise: a joint sleeve, one end of which is hingedly connected to the support ring; a spring sleeve, a spring is arranged in the spring sleeve, one end of the spring sleeve is connected to a coupling element, the coupling element is suitable for connecting a fastening device for the penis to the extension rod and for applying tension on the penis; and at least one rod-shaped telescopic adjustment unit, which is arranged between the spring sleeve and the joint sleeve. Background Art

[0002] Devices of the type discussed here, also referred to as penis extension devices, are known in various embodiments. For example, EP 3463218 Bl describes a fastening device for a penis extension device with a tensiometer. Many related devices are also described and acknowledged in the present disclosure. Reference is hereby made to these explanations.

[0003] From US 2004 / 0215055 A1 a device for exerting traction on the penis is known, which has an annular base element and two connecting elements which are hingedly fastened to the base element. These connecting elements of the known traction device are provided with a threaded rod which can be screwed into a piston. The end of the piston is in contact with a spring mounted in a spring sleeve, by means of which a tension force can be exerted in the longitudinal direction of the extension rod.

[0004] In this known tensioning device, several rod-shaped extension elements are used to adjust the length of the extension rod, which have a threaded pin at one end and a threaded hole at the other end. In order to connect these extension elements to each other, one extension element is screwed into the threaded hole of the adjacent extension element by its threaded pin. A third extension element can be added to the combination of two extension elements connected in this way.

[0005] The total length of the final threaded rod is determined by the number and length of the individual extension elements connected together in this way. A unit consisting of several interconnected extension elements is connected at one end to the spring sleeve and at the other end to a fastening device for the penis.

[0006] The threaded pins of the extension elements are fully screwed into the corresponding threaded holes to ensure the required stability of the unit consisting of a plurality of extension elements. There is no provision for adjusting the length by turning the threaded holes relative to the threaded pins. Therefore, lengthening or shortening of the extension rod can only be achieved by adding or removing extension elements and therefore, for example, cannot be achieved while the user is wearing such known extension devices.

[0007] DE 20203927 U1 describes a special embodiment of a universal penis extension device corresponding to the preamble of claim 1 .

[0008] Based on the latter prior art, the object of the present invention is to provide a device of the type in question which can be easily and flexibly adapted to length requirements. Summary of the invention

[0009] This object is solved by a device, which is characterized in that the joint sleeve includes an inner hole with an internal thread formed in the wall of the inner hole, the first and second telescopic adjustment units are arranged between the spring sleeve and the joint sleeve, the first adjustment unit provides a threaded sleeve, which has an external thread screwed into the internal thread of the joint sleeve and an inner hole with an internal thread formed in its wall, the second adjustment unit provides a threaded shaft, which is provided with an external thread toward the threaded sleeve, the external thread is screwed into the internal thread of the threaded sleeve, and a pin protruding into the spring sleeve is provided toward the spring sleeve, and the spring is arranged in the spring sleeve between the pin and the coupling element.

[0010] Preferably, a radially outer circumferential stop flange is formed between the external thread of the threaded shaft and the latch pin.

[0011] Furthermore, the threaded sleeve preferably also has a radially outer circumferential stop collar at its distal end.

[0012] The lengths of the threaded shaft, threaded sleeve, and adapter sleeve are appropriately selected and matched to each other to cover the desired and / or required adjustment range.

[0013] The internal thread of the joint sleeve is formed in the wall of the inner hole of the joint sleeve. The inner hole is open at the far end and closed at the near end (but it can also be open).

[0014] Preferably, the axial length of the inner bore of the joint sleeve constitutes at least 80% of the axial length of the joint sleeve.

[0015] The internal thread may extend over the entire axial length of the inner bore, or only over a portion or section thereof.

[0016] The threaded sleeve also has an inner hole, which is open at the distal end and can be closed or open at the proximal end. The internal thread of the threaded sleeve is formed in the wall of the inner hole and can extend over the entire axial length of the inner hole or only extend over a portion or partition of the inner hole.

[0017] Preferably, the axial length of the inner bore of the threaded sleeve is at least 80% of the axial length of the threaded sleeve.

[0018] The threaded sleeve also has an external thread formed on the outer surface of the threaded sleeve, which external thread may extend over the entire axial length of the threaded sleeve or only over a portion or section thereof.

[0019] Preferably, the axial length available for forming the external thread of the threaded sleeve is at least 80% of the total axial length of the threaded sleeve.

[0020] Preferably, the axial length of the outer surface of the threaded sleeve on which the external thread can be formed is at least 80% of the axial length of the inner hole of the joint sleeve.

[0021] Furthermore, the axial length of the external thread available for forming the threaded shaft is preferably at least 80% of the axial length of the inner bore of the threaded sleeve.

[0022] The region of the threaded shaft on which the external threads of the threaded shaft may be formed extends from the plug to a proximal end or portion or subsection thereof.

[0023] The above-mentioned preferred features are intended to ensure that the two adjustment units (i.e., the threaded sleeve and the threaded shaft) and the joint sleeve can be screwed into each other as much as possible and can also be loosened again, so that in the screwed-in state, the threaded sleeve is at least 80% or even completely screwed into the joint sleeve, and the threaded shaft is at least 80% or even completely screwed into the threaded sleeve.

[0024] If there are the preferred stop flanges, these will of course not be screwed anywhere.

[0025] In the loosened position, the length of the unit consisting of the joint sleeve and the two adjustment units is as long as possible. This results in a very large overall adjustment range.

[0026] The term "unscrewed state" refers to a situation in which elements that were screwed together are still connected together and therefore not separated from each other, but are separated as far as possible in the longitudinal direction.

[0027] The spring sleeve is preferably closed toward the coupling element by a lockable cover, the spring being arranged between the cover and the latch.

[0028] A particularly preferred device is characterized in that the extension rods are fastened to the support ring in such a way that the support ring has two parallel clamping jaws for each extension rod, each clamping jaw having a recess opening inwardly, and the joint sleeve has a joint piece, which has an annular disk-shaped central part, and hemispherical protrusions are formed on both sides of the central part, the thickness of the annular disk-shaped central part is smaller than the distance between the clamping jaws, and the protrusions engage in the opposite recesses.

[0029] The coupling element of the device according to the invention is preferably connected to a fastening device for the penis. This fastening device is of a known nature, for example described in EP 3463218 B1.

[0030] According to an alternative embodiment, the coupling element itself can be designed as a fastening device for the penis. Such a fastening device is also known from DE 20003927 U1, for example.

[0031] The term "spring" as used herein denotes an elastic element which, when compressed, generates a restoring force to an initial position. The spring of the device according to the invention is preferably a compression spring or a helical spring, in particular made of metal, a rod or a tube made of elastic material.

[0032] A foam material, preferably silicone, can be used as the elastic material.

[0033] The other elements of the device according to the invention are in particular injection-molded parts made of known plastic materials suitable for this purpose.

[0034] This plastic material can be a transparent material. This applies in particular to joint sleeves and threaded sleeves, since this makes it possible to visually determine the extent to which the threaded sleeve is screwed into the joint sleeve or the extent to which the threaded shaft is screwed into the threaded sleeve.

[0046] like Figure 1 (oblique view from above), the device 1 according to the invention has three components, namely a support ring 2, two extension rods 3 with adjustable lengths, and a coupling element 4. These three components are shown separately and are therefore not connected to each other.

[0047] The support ring 2 serves to support the device 1 on the body of a user and represents the proximal part of the device 1. Such a support ring 2 is known from the above-mentioned prior art.

[0048] The distal end of the extension rod 3, opposite the support ring 2, is arranged in a cylindrical receiving part 5 of the coupling element 4, which is closed distally by a cover 7 and is laterally open in the longitudinal direction. The receiving part 5 has an elastic cheek 6, which will be described in more detail below. A connecting element 8 attached at both ends to the associated cheek 6 serves to connect the two receiving parts 5. A bearing bushing 9 is attached to the cover 7. The above-mentioned elements of the coupling element 4 are injection-molded in one piece.

[0049] Two multi-element extension rods 3 are pivotably attached to the support ring 2 .

[0050] At the proximal end, the extension rod 3 has a joint sleeve 10 which is pivoted at its proximal end to the support ring 2 via a joint 11 and articulated by a transverse movement.

[0051] The joint 11 has a joint holder 12, which is attached to the support ring 2. Each joint holder 12 has two jaws 13 aligned parallel to each other, each jaw having a recess 14 opening inwards, thus opening towards the opposite jaw 13. The support ring 2 is injection-molded in one piece with the jaws 13.

[0052] The joint 11 further comprises a joint member 15 on the joint sleeve 10, the joint member having an annular disc-shaped central portion 16, with hemispherical protrusions 17 formed on both sides of the central portion.

[0053] Especially Figure 3As shown, when the joint 11 is assembled, the central portion 16 is located between the two opposing jaws 13 of the joint holder 12, wherein the hemispherical protrusion 17 is arranged in the opposing recess 14 of the jaws 13. The thickness of the central portion 16 is less than the distance between the two jaws 13, which means that the joint sleeve 10 and the extension rod 2 can not only rotate around the axis 18 extending through the two recesses 14, but also can pivot in the direction of the axis 18.

[0054] Especially Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the joint sleeve 10 has a threaded inner hole 19 extending in the longitudinal direction and opening toward the distal end thereof.

[0055] Figure 6 1 shows in more detail a first telescopic adjustment unit in the form of a hollow cylindrical threaded sleeve 20 which is screwed into the inner bore 19 of the joint sleeve 10. The threaded sleeve 20 is provided with an outer thread 21 on its outer jacket surface, which is sized and shaped so that it can be screwed into the thread of the inner bore 19 of the joint sleeve 10. The inner bore 19 is closed at the proximal end by a wall 46 and represents a kind of blind hole.

[0056] The threaded sleeve 20 also has a cylindrical inner hole 22 extending in the longitudinal direction and provided with threads 23, and a radial circumferential stop flange 24 extending radially outward at its distal end.

[0057] The second telescopic adjustment unit in the form of a threaded shaft 25 (see in particular Figure 7 ) is connected distally to the threaded sleeve 20. This threaded shaft 25 has two parts, namely a proximal part in the form of a cylindrical pin 26 with an external thread 27 and a distal part in the form of a cylindrical plug 28. A radial circumferential stop flange 29 extending radially outwards is arranged between these two parts.

[0058] The size and shape of the external thread 27 of the threaded shaft 25 is such that the threaded shaft 25 can be screwed into the threaded sleeve 20 until the stop flange 29 of the threaded shaft 25 contacts the stop flange 24 of the threaded sleeve 20. The two stop flanges 24 and 29 have the same outer diameter and the same axial thickness. This outer diameter corresponds to the outer diameter of the joint sleeve 10.

[0059] At the distal end of the threaded shaft 25, a locking tip 30 is arranged, which has a longitudinally extending notch 31, thereby forming two opposite locking tongues 32. At the transition from the locking tongues 32 to the latch 28, a radially outwardly directed and radially circumferential locking lug 33 is formed.

[0060] The threaded shaft 25 is attached at the distal end to an outer cylindrical spring sleeve 34 (see in particular Figure 8), which has a continuous cylindrical inner bore 35 arranged in the longitudinal direction. The diameter of this inner bore 35 widens in the distal direction in the form of a shoulder 36. With the locking tip 30 inserted into the proximal end of the spring sleeve 34, the two locking tongues 32 are pressed together until they reach the area with a larger diameter of the inner bore 35 and move away from each other again. The locking lug 33 abutting against the shoulder 30 prevents the locking tip 30 from being pulled out, thereby preventing the threaded shaft 25 from being pulled out.

[0061] The spring sleeve 34 has two diametrically opposed holes 37, having a generally rectangular shape in plan view, extending through the wall of the spring sleeve 34. The distal end of the spring sleeve 34 is closed by a cover 38, such as Fig. 9 As shown in more detail in FIG, the cover 38 has a hollow cylindrical extension 39, which is sized and shaped to be inserted into the distal end of the spring sleeve 34. The free end of the extension 39 is provided with a cutout 41 and has two locking lugs 40, which engage in associated holes 37 in the spring sleeve 34.

[0062] The compression spring 42 is inserted into the spring sleeve 34 , which is located between the cover 38 and the locking tip 30 .

[0063] In one embodiment, the coupling element 4 is used to connect a fastening device 43 known per se to the coupling element 4. Fig.10 A fastening device 43 of this type is known in particular from EP 3463218 B1, which has a flexible sleeve 44 and a hollow body 46 for holding the penis. After the penis has been inserted into the hollow body 46, the sleeve 44 is attached to the penis, for example by rolling the sleeve 44, which has previously been rolled onto the hollow body 46, onto the penis. A vacuum pump 45 can generate a vacuum, thereby establishing a stable connection between the penis and the fastening device 43. This is all well known.

[0064] The fastening device 43 is connected to the coupling element 4 of the device 1 according to the invention via a hollow cylindrical receiving part 5 equipped with a cover 7. The bearing bushing 9 (see also Figure 1 ) is attached or formed on the cover 7, in which a bearing journal 47 is rotatably mounted, which bearing journal is connected to the fastening device 43.

[0065] The device 1 according to the invention can be attached as follows. Each extension rod 3 is mounted in the corresponding joint 11 by inserting the joint piece 15 between the jaws 13 and expanding it. The threaded sleeve 20 is also twisted or screwed into the joint sleeve 10. In addition, the threaded shaft 25 and its cylindrical pin 26 are twisted or screwed into the threaded sleeve 20. The pin 28 of the threaded shaft 25 is inserted into the spring sleeve 34 until the locking tip 30 engages in the spring sleeve 34. The compression spring 42 is inserted into the spring sleeve 34. Then, the inner hole 35 of the spring sleeve 34 is closed by the cover 38, which engages in the hole 37 with its locking lug 40. The cover 38 is spaced apart from the locking lug 33. This space contains the compression spring 48, which is compressed when the pin 28 is pushed into the spring sleeve 34.

[0066] The spring sleeve 34 is pushed into the associated hollow cylindrical receiving part 5 or clamped in place, while expanding the elastic cheek 6. In the assembled state, the cover 38 rests on the inner side of the axially opposite cover 7 of the receiving part 25. This assembled state of the device 1 according to the invention is as follows Figure 3 and Figure 4 These processes are performed for each extension rod 3 .

[0067] The bearing journals 47 attached to the connecting device 43 are inserted or pushed into the bearing bushing 9 attached to the cover 7. This state is as shown in FIG. Fig.10 shown.

[0068] It is obviously also possible to first connect the fastening device 43 to the coupling element 4 in the manner described above and then to insert the spring sleeve 34 into the receiving part 5 .

[0069] Before or after assembly of the device according to the invention, the penis can be inserted into the flexible sleeve 44 and the hollow body 48, the flexible sleeve 44 being a condom.

[0070] Incidentally, instead of the above-described fastening device 43, it is also possible to use a fastening device known from DE 20203927 U1 in order to connect the penis to the device 1. In this case, the coupling element 4 is a fastening device according to DE 20203927 U1.

[0071] In order to apply tension to the penis, the connector sleeve 10 or the threaded shaft 25 or both the connector sleeve 10 and the threaded shaft 25 are unscrewed from their furthest screwed-in position (see Figure 3 and Figure 4 ). This extends the axial length of the threaded sleeve 10 plus the threaded shaft 25, and thus the axial length of the extension rod 3. This exerts pressure on the compression spring 42 in the direction of the coupling element 4, thereby exerting tension on the penis through the fastening device 43.

[0072] Due to the design of the extension rod 3, this tension can be finely adjusted. In addition, due to the two telescopic adjustment units in the form of the threaded sleeve 20 and the threaded shaft 25 combined with the joint sleeve 10, the device according to the invention can be used in a wide range of lengths to meet various requirements. This means that one device can accommodate penises of different sizes.

[0073] The axial lengths of the threaded sleeve 20 and the threaded shaft 25 can be selected as desired. This means that short threaded sleeves 20 and long threaded sleeves 20 as well as short threaded shafts 25 and long threaded shafts 25 can be used for the device 1.
