Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a vibrator device for a sperm collection device and a sperm collection system. [Background technology]

[0002] A sperm collection device is a device that stimulates the penis for the purpose of collecting sperm, and is used, for example, for medical research and treatments such as artificial insemination. Such a sperm collection device can be used as an ejaculation promotion device because it can shorten the time to ejaculation compared to when the sperm collection device is not used. Furthermore, the sperm collection device can be used as an ejaculation training device for the purpose of improving sexual dysfunction such as erectile dysfunction and ejaculation disorder (premature ejaculation, delayed ejaculation), and can also be used based on social demands such as preventing sexual crimes, prostitution, and the spread of sexually transmitted diseases.

[0003] Some sperm collection devices are equipped with a core member made of a flexible material. When using a sperm collection device equipped with a core member, the penis is inserted into the insertion space from an insertion port provided on one end surface of the core member, and then at least one of the sperm collection device and the penis is moved back and forth along the longitudinal direction of the sperm collection device. During the reciprocating movement, the outer surface of the penis is rubbed against the inner surface of the core member (the surface on the insertion space side), so that stimulation is given to the penis. By applying a vibration stimulus in addition to the friction stimulus of the core member, the sperm collection efficiency can be improved. For example, the device (massage device) of Patent Document 1 uses a vibrator having three vibration generating units connected to each other by lead wires, and each vibration generating unit is attached to the outer circumferential surface of a cylindrical shell at approximately 120 degree intervals. With this configuration, the device of Patent Document 1 can apply a friction stimulus to the penis and can apply a vibration stimulus to the entire circumferential direction of the penis.

[0009] <Overview and Features of Sperm Collection System 1> Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. However, unless otherwise specified, the components, types, combinations, shapes, relative positions, and the like described in the embodiment are merely illustrative examples and do not intend to limit the scope of the present invention. First, the outline and features of the sperm collection system 1 according to the first embodiment will be described. Fig. 1 is a perspective view showing the sperm collection system 1 of the first embodiment, Fig. 2 is a cross-sectional view showing the sperm collection system 1 of the first embodiment, and Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the vibrator device 20.

[0010] The sperm collection system 1 includes a sperm collection device 10 and a vibrator device 20 that is detachably attached to the sperm collection device 10, as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 2, the sperm collection device 10 includes a cylindrical container body 111 having an open end in the longitudinal direction, a core member 12 made of a flexible resin housed inside the container body 111 and having an insertion space 122 extending inward from an insertion opening 121 provided on the end in the longitudinal direction, and a support member 13 provided between the core member 12 and the container body 111 and supporting the core member 12 inside the container body 111. As shown in Fig. 2 and Fig. 3, the vibrator device 20 includes a vibrator body 21 incorporating a vibration motor 211 as a vibration source and a battery 212 for supplying power to the vibration motor 211, and a pair of mounting pieces 22 (221, 222, mounting portion) extending backward like wings from both sides (in this example, the rear end edges of both sides) of the vibrator body 21. The pair of mounting pieces 22 are made of an elastic resin material such as polycarbonate, and elastically open and close. The pair of mounting pieces 22 mount the vibrator device 20 to the sperm collection device 10 by elastically tightening the container body 111.

[0011] In the sperm collection system 1 having the above configuration, as shown in FIG. 2, the penis P is inserted from the insertion port 121 of the core member 12, and at least one of the sperm collection device 10 and the penis P is moved along the longitudinal direction of the sperm collection device 10, so that the outer surface of the penis P is rubbed against the inner surface of the core member 12, providing stimulation to the penis P. When the vibrator device 20 attached to the sperm collection device 10 is operated, the vibration motor 211 vibrates the vibrator body 21, and the vibration of the vibrator body 21 is transmitted to the pair of mounting pieces 22 (221, 222). As described above, the pair of mounting pieces 22 elastically fasten the container body 111, so that the range in which the vibration of the vibrator body 21 is transmitted can be expanded. For example, as shown in FIG. 1, if the mounting position of the vibrator body 21 in the sperm collection device 10 is assumed to be the front, the pair of mounting pieces 22 can expand the range in which the vibration of the vibrator body 21 is transmitted to the left side and right side of the sperm collection device 10. The vibration of the vibrator body 21 and the vibration of the pair of mounting pieces 22 are transmitted to the container body 111, and the vibration of the container body 111 reaches the core member 12 through the support member 13. Therefore, even with a single vibrator body 21, it is possible to apply vibration stimulation to the penis P from a wide range in the circumferential direction.

[0012] As is clear from the above explanation, according to the sperm collection system 1 of the first embodiment, even if the number of vibrator bodies 21 is reduced compared to the conventional technology and the configuration of the vibrator device 20 is simplified, it is possible to apply vibration stimulation to the penis P from a wide circumferential range.

[0013] <Sperm collection device 10> The sperm collection system 1 will be described in detail below. First, the sperm collection device 10 will be described. Fig. 4(a) is a front view of the sperm collection device 10, Fig. 4(b) is a cross-sectional view of the sperm collection device 10, and Fig. 5 is an exploded view of the sperm collection device 10. As shown in Figures 4 and 5, the sperm collection device 10 includes a container body 111 having a circular opening 111a at one end (rear end) in the longitudinal direction, a container 11 having a circular ring-shaped end ring member 112 attached to the opening 111a of the container body 111, and a cap 113 that can be attached to and detached from the end ring member 112; a core member 12 made of flexible resin that is accommodated in the internal space of the container body 111 and has an insertion space 122 extending inward from an insertion port 121 provided on the longitudinal rear end face; and a support member 13 that is provided between the core member 12 and the container body 111 and supports the core member 12 inside the container body 111.

[0014] The container body 111 is made of a thin-walled resin having a hardness that can be elastically deformed by the gripping force of the user. The container body 111 is made of, for example, a polyethylene resin having a thickness of about 1 mm, but is not limited to this resin. The container body 111 has one end 111b at one end side in the longitudinal direction of the sperm collection device 10, the other end 111c at the other end side in the longitudinal direction, and a middle part 111d provided between the one end 111b and the other end 111c. One end 111b of the container body 111 is a cylindrical part whose diameter gradually expands toward the middle part 111d. On the outer peripheral surface 111e (opening side outer peripheral surface, see FIG. 5) near the opening 111a at the one end 111b, stripe-like projections and recessed grooves for fixing the end ring member 112 are provided. The other end 111c of the container body 111 is an elliptical cylindrical part whose width in the left-right direction increases toward the other end 111f and whose width in the front-back direction decreases, and the other end 111f (tip) is closed. And, in the left-right center of the other end 111f, an air hole 111g that communicates between the inside and outside of the container body 111 is provided. The middle part 111d has an elliptical cross-sectional shape, and both left and right sides are narrowed toward the center in the left-right direction. Therefore, the middle part 111d can also be called a narrowed part. Since both the left and right sides of the middle part 111d are narrowed, the user's fingers can be easily caught when using the sperm collection device 10 alone without attaching the vibrator device 20, improving usability. In addition, as described later, the longitudinal middle part of the core body 142 is tightened via the support member 13, which can improve the feeling of use.

[0015] The end ring member 112 is a member for increasing and reinforcing the opening 111a of the container body 111 so that the cap 113 can be attached. For this reason, the end ring member 112 is made of a resin material that is harder than the container body 111. The outer circumferential surface 111e of the container body 111 is fitted into the inner circumferential surface of the end ring member 112, and the cap 113 is detachably fitted into the outer circumferential surface of the end ring member 112. 5, the cap 113 includes a circular bottom portion 113a, a cylindrical outer peripheral wall 113b extending from the outer peripheral edge of the circular bottom portion 113a toward the tip side, and a cylindrical central protrusion 113c protruding from the center of the inner surface of the circular bottom portion 113a toward the tip side and having a closed tip surface. The outer peripheral wall 113b is a portion that fits into the end ring member 112, and the central protrusion 113c is a portion that is inserted into the core member 12 through the insertion port 121. The cap 113 is also made of a resin material that is harder than the container body 111.

[0016] 4(b) and 5, the core member 12 includes a substantially disk-shaped flange portion 123 provided at one end (rear end) and a substantially cylindrical core body 124 extending from the inner surface of the flange portion 123 toward the tip side. In the first embodiment, the core member 12 is made of, for example, a gel-like elastomer. An insertion port 121 is provided at the center of one end surface of the flange portion 123, and a disk-shaped impregnated member 125 is provided inside the flange portion 123. The impregnated member 125 is made of a sponge-like material such as urethane foam, and the impregnated member 125 is impregnated with a lubricant. A central cavity 125a is provided at the center of the impregnated member 125. The position of the central cavity 125a is aligned with the insertion port 121. As shown in FIG. 2, when the penis P is inserted into the central cavity 125a of the impregnated member 125, the lubricant seeping out from the impregnated member 125 adheres to the outer surface of the penis P.

[0017] The length of the core body 124 is adjusted to the length of the penis P in an erect state, and the tip of the core body 124 is closed in a hemispherical shape. The insertion space 122 of the core body 124 is provided in continuity with the central space 125a of the impregnated member 125. Therefore, the penis P with the lubricant attached to its surface is rubbed by the inner surface of the core body 124. As shown in Fig. 5, the tip of the core body 124 is provided with a slit 126 that can communicate between the inside and outside of the core body 124. The slit 126 opens when the penis P enters toward the inside of the insertion space 122 and the internal pressure of the insertion space 122 becomes higher than atmospheric pressure, releasing the air in the insertion space 122 to the outside of the core body 124, making the entry of the penis P smooth. In addition, the slit 126 closes when the penis P in the insertion space 122 moves toward the insertion opening 121 and the pressure of the insertion space 122 becomes lower than atmospheric pressure, increasing the degree of contact between the core body 124 and the penis P. As shown in FIG. 4(b), when the cap 113 is attached to the end ring member 112, the central protrusion 113c of the cap 113 is inserted into the insertion opening 121 of the flange portion 123 and the central cavity 125a of the impregnated member 125, thereby preventing leakage of the lubricant.

[0018] 5, the support member 13 is made of, for example, a sheet-like foamed resin material (sponge-like material). For example, urethane foam can be used as the foamed resin. In the first embodiment, the support member 13 is made of a urethane foam sheet having a horizontally elongated rectangular shape with a linear cut 13a provided along the vertical direction at approximately the center in the horizontal direction. The support member 13 having this configuration is wrapped around the core body 124 and inserted into the internal space of the container body 111. As shown in the cross-sectional view of FIG. 4(b), the support member 13 expands inside the container body 111 to support the core body 124. The container body 111 has a shape in which the left and right sides of the middle part 111d are constricted inward in the left-right direction. Therefore, the middle part 133 of the support member 13 is compressed inward in the left-right direction by the middle part 111d of the container body 111. As a result, the longitudinal middle part of the core body 142 is tightened, so that the degree of adhesion between the penis P and the core body 142 is increased, and the feeling of use can be improved. Furthermore, the intermediate portion 133 of the support member 13 is compressed, so that it becomes harder than the one end portion 131 and the other end portion 132 of the support member 13. Therefore, the intermediate portion 133 of the support member 13 has a higher vibration transmission efficiency than the one end portion 131 and the other end portion 132. When the vibration transmission efficiency in the intermediate portion 133 of the support member 13 is improved, the vibration from the vibrator device 20 can be efficiently transmitted to the core member 12 even if the intermediate portion 111d of the container body 111 is a constricted portion, as described below.

[0019] <Vibrator device 20> Next, the vibrator device 20 will be described. Fig. 6 is a front view of the vibrator device 20, Fig. 7 is a left side view of the vibrator device 20, and Fig. 8 is a vertical sectional view of the vibrator device 20. As shown in Figures 3 and 6 to 8, the vibrator device 20 includes a vibrator body 21 that vibrates due to vibrations generated by a vibration motor 211 (vibration source), and a pair of mounting pieces 22 (mounting portions) that extend in a wing-like manner from the vibrator body 21 and mount the vibrator body 21 to the outer peripheral surface of the container body 111.

[0020] The vibrator body 21 has a generally rectangular parallelepiped block shape with the four sides on the front side chamfered into an arc shape. A circular operation button 213 is provided on the upper front part of the vibrator body 21. The power is turned on / off and the vibration mode is switched based on the pressing operation of the operation button 213. For example, when the operation button 213 is pressed and held (pressed for a long time) from the power-off state, the power transitions to the power-on state, and when the operation button 213 is pressed and held from the power-on state, the power transitions to the power-off state. Also, when the operation button 213 is pressed and held (pressed for a short time) in the power-on state, the strength and pattern of the vibration are switched. As shown in FIG. 8, inside the vibrator body 21, there are provided a vibration motor 211 having a motor body 211a and a vibrator 211b, in which the motor body 211a rotates the vibrator 211b attached in an eccentric state to generate vibration, a battery 212 that supplies power to the vibration motor 211, a charging connector to which a charging cable (not shown) for charging the battery 212 is connected, and a control board (control unit, not shown) that is electrically connected to the operation button 213, the vibration motor 211, and the battery 212, and controls the on / off of the power supply and the operation of the vibration motor 211 in response to an operation on the operation button 213.

[0021] As shown in Figures 3 and 6 to 8, a pair of mounting pieces 22 (221, 222) extend rearward from the left and right rear edges of the vibrator body 21, respectively, and include a first mounting piece 221 and a second mounting piece 222 that can be elastically opened and closed. For example, in the first embodiment, the first mounting piece 221 extends rearward from the left edge of the rear surface of the vibrator body 21, and is curved in an arc shape bulging to the left. Similarly, the second mounting piece 222 extends rearward from the right edge of the rear surface of the vibrator body 21, and is curved in an arc shape bulging to the right. In other words, the pair of mounting pieces 22 are curved in a shape that matches the shape of the outer circumferential surface of the container body 111. The pair of mounting pieces 22 are made of elastic plate-like members, such as polycarbonate plates. The distance (distance in the left-right direction) between the first mounting piece 221 and the second mounting piece 222 is set to be narrower than the distance between the corresponding parts of the container body 111.

[0022] The vibrator device 20 is attached to the sperm collection device 10 by pressing the vibrator device 20 against the side of the sperm collection device 10 (container body 111). For example, the vibrator body 21 is pressed against the outer circumferential surface of the container body 111 after pressing the open ends of the pair of mounting pieces 22 against the outer circumferential surface of the container body 111. The pair of mounting pieces 22 are pushed outward in the left-right direction as the vibrator body 21 is pushed in, and then, when the container body 111 is pushed in to a predetermined position (a position where the container body 111 fits into the curved portions of the pair of mounting pieces 22), the container body 111 is elastically tightened and fixed in place. The vibrator device 20 can be removed from the sperm collection device 10, for example, by gripping the vibrator main body 21 and moving it in a direction away from the sperm collection device 10 (a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction). In this way, since the mounting portion of the first embodiment is configured by the pair of mounting pieces 22 described above, the configuration is simple and it is easy to attach to and detach from the sperm collection device 10.

[0023] 1 and 2, the pair of mounting pieces 22 elastically fasten the container body 111 when attached to the sperm collection device 10, so that the vibration of the vibrator body 21 can be transmitted to the container body 111. And, the pair of mounting pieces 22 wrap around the outer peripheral surface of the container body 111 to the rear side, so that the vibration of the vibrator body 21 can be transmitted not only around the vibrator body 21 but also over a wide range in the circumferential direction. The vibration transmitted to the container body 111 is transmitted to the core body 124 via the support member 13. Therefore, the penis P in the insertion space 122 can be subjected to vibration from a wide range in the circumferential direction.

[0024] In the first embodiment, the vibrator body 21 and the pair of mounting pieces 22 are attached in a state of contacting a non-constricted portion other than the middle portion 111d (constricted portion) of the container body 111. Specifically, one end of the vibrator body 21 and the pair of mounting pieces 22 contacts one end 111b of the container body 111, and the other end of the vibrator body 21 and the pair of mounting pieces 22 contacts the other end 111c of the container body 111. In other words, the vibrator body 21 and the pair of mounting pieces 22 are attached across the middle portion 111d of the container body 111. As described above, the middle portion 133 of the support member 13 is compressed by the middle portion 111d of the container body 111. The middle portion 133 (compressed portion) of the support member 13 transmits the vibrations of the vibrator body 21 and the pair of mounting pieces 22 more efficiently than the one end portion 131 and the other end portion 132 (non-compressed portions) of the support member 13. And, the middle part of the core body 124, where the penis P frequently moves when the sperm collection device 10 is used, corresponds to the middle part 133 of the support member 13. Therefore, even in the sperm collection device 10 in which the middle part 111d of the container body 111 is made into a narrow part to improve usability when used alone, the vibration from the vibrator device 20 can be efficiently transmitted to the middle part of the core member 12 via the middle part 133 (compressed part) of the support member 13, thereby improving the sperm collection efficiency.

[0025] As can be understood from the above description, by using the vibrator device 20 of the first embodiment, even if there is only one vibrator body 21, the vibration of the vibrator body 21 is transmitted to the container body 111 through the vibration of the pair of mounting pieces 22. Then, the vibration transmitted to the container body 111 reaches the core member 12 through the support member 13. Therefore, even if the configuration is simplified by using a single vibrator body 21 equipped with a vibration source, it is possible to give stimulation by vibration to the penis P from a wide range in the circumferential direction.

[0026] <Sperm collection system 1A according to the second embodiment> Next, a sperm collection system 1A according to a second embodiment will be described. Figures 9(a) and 9(b) are a perspective view and a rear view of a vibrator device 20A according to the second embodiment in a state where the fastening ring 22A is unlocked, Figures 10(a) and 10(b) are a perspective view and a rear view of a state where the fastening ring 22A is locked, and Figure 11 is a perspective view showing the sperm collection system 1A according to the second embodiment. As shown in Figures 9 to 11, the sperm collection system 1A according to the second embodiment is characterized in that the vibrator device 20A is provided with a fastening ring 22A having a cylindrical shape that matches the shape of the outer peripheral surface of the container body 111. In the sperm collection system 1A according to the second embodiment, the configuration of each part except for the fastening ring 22A of the vibrator device 20A is the same as that of the sperm collection system 1 according to the first embodiment. Therefore, the same reference numerals as those in the sperm collection system 1 according to the first embodiment are used and the description is omitted.

[0027] The fastening ring 22A includes a first ring piece 221A extending rearward from the left rear edge of the vibrator body 21, and a second ring piece 222A extending rearward from the right rear edge of the vibrator body 21. The first ring piece 221A constitutes the left half of a cylinder, and the second ring piece 222A constitutes the right half of the cylinder. A locking portion 23A is provided at a circumferential end of the first ring piece 221A and at a circumferential end of the second ring piece 222A, which can freely lock the first ring piece 221A and the second ring piece 222A in a fastened state. The locking portion 23A includes a first locking portion 231A provided on the first ring piece 221A and a second locking portion 232A provided on the second ring piece 222A. The first locking portion 231A is, for example, configured with a locking groove, and the second locking portion 232A is configured with a locking piece provided with a locking protrusion that fits into the locking groove, but is not limited to this configuration as long as the first ring piece 221A and the second ring piece 222A can be releasably locked.

[0028] In the unlocked state shown in Fig. 9, the first ring piece 221A and the second ring piece 222A can be elastically deformed in the opening and closing direction (circumferential direction). Therefore, when one end or the other end of the sperm collection device 10 is inserted between the first ring piece 221A and the second ring piece 222A and pushed in along the longitudinal direction of the sperm collection device 10, the first ring piece 221A is elastically deformed to the left and the second ring piece 222A is elastically deformed to the right, forming a space into which the sperm collection device 10 can be inserted. As a result, the sperm collection device 10 can be inserted between the first ring piece 221A and the second ring piece 222A. Thereafter, when the first locking portion 231A of the first ring piece 221A and the second locking portion 232A of the second ring piece 222A are locked as shown in FIG. 10, the fastening ring 22A (the first ring piece 221A and the second ring piece 222A) tightens the container body 111 provided in the sperm collection device 10, and fixes the vibrator body 21 to the sperm collection device 10 as shown in FIG. 11.

[0029] In addition, when locking portion 23A is in the locked state, the user can release the lock by hooking his or her finger on the tip of second locking portion (locking piece) 232A and pulling second locking portion 232A up in a direction away from first locking portion 231A (locking groove). By releasing the lock, the sperm collection device 10 after use can be removed from the vibrator device 20A.

[0030] In the sperm collection system 1A according to the second embodiment, the fastening ring 22A included in the vibrator device 20A is provided around the entire circumference of the container body 111 along the outer circumferential surface of the container body 111, and fastens the container body 111 elastically. Therefore, the vibration of the vibrator body 21 can be transmitted not only around the periphery of the vibrator body 21 but also over the entire circumferential direction, and the penis P in the insertion space 122 can be subjected to vibration from the entire circumferential direction.

[0031] <Sperm collection system 1B according to the third embodiment> The width of the pair of mounting pieces 22 (the longitudinal length of the sperm collection device 10) of the vibrator device 20 of the first embodiment and the width of the fastening ring 22A of the vibrator device 20A of the second embodiment are approximately the same as the length of the vibrator body 21, but are not limited to these configurations. Fig. 12 is a perspective view of a vibrator device 20B used in a sperm collection system 1B of the third embodiment. As shown in Fig. 12, the vibrator device 20B of the third embodiment has a pair of mounting pieces 22B (first mounting piece 221B, second mounting piece 221B) like the vibrator device 20 of the first embodiment, but is characterized in that the width of the mounting piece 22B is wider than the width of the mounting piece 22 of the first embodiment. With this configuration, the vibration from the vibrator body 21 can be expanded and transmitted in the longitudinal direction of the sperm collection device 10.
