Resin-based male chastity device with anti-withdrawal protection and multiple overmolded synthetic areas and covers

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0001] A flexible male chastity device that may be permanently affixed to the scrotum and penis of the user and is substantially non-removable is disclosed. This device also includes a hinged insert or anti-pullout ring. Also, this device is constructed from ridged and flexible materials and includes multiple regions of overmolded synthetic coverings.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0002] The invention relates to a flexibly constructed male chastity device for protracted wear on the male sex organ to prevent sexual intercourse and masturbation.

[0003] In the prior art, a chastity belt is a locking item of clothing designed to prevent sexual intercourse and masturbation as well as to protect the wearer from sexual temptation. Chastity belts and related devices have a long human history. According to some, the chastity belt was used as an anti-temptation device during the Crusades. When the knight left for the Holy Lands on a Crusade, often his Lady would wear a chastity belt to preserve her faithfulness to him. Male chastity belts are also known in the prior art. U.S. Pat. 995,600 (Surgical Appliance) was developed, for example, to prevent masturbation by the mentally ill.

[0004] Modern devices range from simple leather or plastic toys commonly sold by adult stores to expensive high-security stainless steel devices. A chastity cage, also referred to as a "ball trap" device, is a device which encloses the male genitals to prevent stimulation and erection. Most such chastity cages have two parts: a ring seated around the base of the penis behind the scrotum and a capped tube, into which the flaccid penis is inserted. The tube is perforated to allow fluid to drain. Some designs have a curved or angled tube to make erections uncomfortable. Ordinarily, the two parts mate together on hinges or pins and are secured, usually with a padlock. When the device is locked, the testicles are trapped in the gap between the penis tube and the ring that is ostensibly narrow enough to prevent the testicles, and therefore the penis, from being pulled out. An exemplary device is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 7,578,296 (Male Chastity Apparatus, Method, and System) and its continuing application, U.S. Pat. No. 8,007,431 (Male Chastity Apparatus, Method, and System). Such chastity cage must be properly sized, fitted and adjusted in order to be secure and not cause physical damage. Unsurprisingly, ring size and spacing are the two most important adjustments that can be made. A ring that is too tight will cut off blood flow, potentially cause physical damage, and is extremely uncomfortable to wear while one that is too loose will not be secure.

[0005] WO 2014 / 055567 discloses a size-adjustable male chastity device for protracted wear on the male sex organ to prevent sexual intercourse and masturbation.

[0006] The present invention relates to a flexible male chastity device as set out in the claims.SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0007] The present invention relates to a flexible male chastity device as set out in claim 1. Preferred embodiments are set out in the dependent claims.BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0009] Turning now to Figs. 1 through 3, a first embodiment of the present invention is a flexible male chastity device 100 comprised of a ventilated cage housing comprising shaft portion 101 with base portion 102 configured to encase the shaft and head of the penis. Base portion 102 is generally circular, or horizontally oval when viewed from the rear, and is constructed of resin or hard plastic. Those having skill in the art will recognize that some, or all, of base portion 102 may be covered, or overmolded, with silastic or some other flexible, inert silicone elastomer such as rubber. Shaft portion 101 and base portion 102 are worn such that the penis resides in shaft portion 101 and base portion 102 is insinuated behind the scrotum. Since base portion 102 is constructed of resin or hard plastic, base portion 102 is placed behind the scrotum by stretching and pulling the scrotum to go through the central lumen of base portion 102. This secures this first embodiment of the present invention to the body of the wearer.

[0010] Turning now to Figs. 1 through 5, the first embodiment of the present invention also comprises a hingedly interconnectable insert or anti-pullout ring 106, with two arms 104, each with at least one anti-pullout projection 107. Arms 104 of hingedly interconnectable insert or anti-pullout ring 106 surround and mate with base portion 102 of the first embodiment of the present invention at line A-A shown in Fig. 1 such that anti-pullout projections 107 extend in front of and into the lumen of base portion 102 of the present invention. This causes a snug, secure fit of base portion 102, its attached shaft portion 101, and hingedly interconnectable insert or anti-pullout ring 106 around the penis of the user when hingedly interconnectable insert or anti-pullout ring 106 is in its closed and locked position. Anti-pullout projections 107 have generally triangular or ovoid ends in contact with, and proximal to, the wearer's skin wherein the generally triangular or ovoid ends are coated or overmolded with synthetic material 108 such as silastic or some other flexible, inert silicone elastomer such as rubber. Synthetic material grips the skin of the user adhering the present invention to the penis and scrotum of the user.

[0011] When worn, the user inserts a tabbed lock shaft from the rear through lockway 103 colinearly formed in base portion 102, its attached shaft portion 101, and hingedly interconnectable insert or anti-pullout ring 106. The tabbed lock shaft has an enlarged planar or ovoid base at the rear end and a transversely drilled hole at the front end. The bail of the padlock or other locking device is passed through the transversely hole drilled or molded in the exposed front end of the lock shaft. The padlock is locked to secure the device to wearer. Alternately, an insertable tabbed lock shaft may be inserted from the front of lockway 103 colinearly formed in base portion 102, its attached shaft portion 101, and hingedly interconnectable insert or anti-pullout ring 106. The insertable tabbed lock shaft may be locked and unlocked using a key from the front.

[0012] Turning now to Figs. 6 through 9, a second embodiment of the present invention is a flexible male chastity device 100 comprised of a ventilated cage housing comprising shaft portion 101 with base portion 102 configured to encase the shaft and head of the penis. Base portion 102 is generally circular, or horizontally oval when viewed from the rear, and is constructed of resin or hard plastic. Those having skill in the art will recognize that some, or all, of base portion 102 may be covered, or overmolded, with silastic or some other flexible, inert silicone elastomer such as rubber. Shaft portion 101 and base portion 102 are worn such that the penis resides in shaft portion 101 and base portion 102 is insinuated behind the scrotum. Since base portion 102 is constructed of resin or hard plastic, base portion 102 is placed behind the scrotum by stretching and pulling the scrotum to go through the central lumen of base portion 102. This secures this embodiment of the present invention to the body of the wearer.

[0013] The second embodiment of the present invention also comprises a hingedly interconnectable insert or anti-pullout ring 106, with two arms 104, each with at least one anti-pullout projection 107. Arms 104 of hingedly interconnectable insert or anti-pullout ring 106 surround and mate with base portion 102 of the second embodiment of the present invention as detailed in Fig. 9 such that anti-pullout projections 107 extend behind and into the lumen of base portion 102 of the present invention. This causes a snug, secure fit of base portion 102, its attached shaft portion 101, and hingedly interconnectable insert or anti-pullout ring 106 around the penis of the user when hingedly interconnectable insert or anti-pullout ring 106 is in its closed and locked position. Anti-pullout projections 107 have generally triangular or ovoid ends in contact with, and proximal to, the wearer's skin wherein the generally triangular or ovoid ends are coated or overmolded with synthetic material 108 such as silastic or some other flexible, inert silicone elastomer such as rubber. Synthetic material grips the skin of the user adhering the present invention to the penis and scrotum of the user.

[0014] When worn the user inserts an insertable tabbed lock shaft through lockway 103 colinearly formed in base portion 102, its attached shaft portion 101, and hingedly interconnectable insert or anti-pullout ring 106 from the front. The insertable tabbed lock shaft may be locked and unlocked using a key from the front.
