Vibration chewing device for sensory stimulation

Abstract

A vibrating chewing device characterized by the fact that - it is made of a bite-resistant, food-safe material, - a vibrating motor is arranged completely inside, - the chewing area has at least one structured surface.

Description

1. Description of the invention

[0001] The invention relates to a vibrating chewing device with an integrated vibration function, particularly for children (e.g., with autism spectrum disorder) and adults with increased oral movement or chewing needs. The product is marketed under the name "KAUVIB". Description of the invention:

[0002] The device combines a bite-resistant, food-grade silicone or TPE shell with an integrated vibration source, power supply, and charging port. In preferred embodiments, the device comprises: - Motor variants: linear vibrator, rotary motor or eccentrically rotating mass carrier motor. - Power source: Lithium-ion battery or rechargeable button cell. - Charging options: magnetic charging port, USB-C socket or inductive charging. - Activation: childproof push button, capacitive sensor or proximity sensor. - Hardness levels: various Shore hardnesses for individual user needs. - Surface textures: bumps, grooves, smooth and ribbed zones. - Designs: rod-shaped, ring-shaped or T-shaped.

[0003] The device is fully encapsulated, preferably with IP67 protection or higher, making it waterproof and easy to clean. Reference list 1 outer silicone shell 2 Inner capsule 3 Mini Motors 4 Magnetic contact / reed switch charging socket 6 Vibration module 7 Chewing area 8 batteries
