Description

STIMULATION DEVICECROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED PATENT APPLICATIONS

[0001] This application claims the priority and benefit under 35 U.S.C. §119(e) of U.S. Provisional Patent Application Serial No. 63 / 638,073 filed April 24, 2024, entitled “STIMULATION DEVICE”. U.S. Provisional Patent Application Serial Number 63 / 638,073 is herein incorporated by reference in its entirety.TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] Embodiments are generally related to stimulation devices. Embodiments are further related to sexual stimulation devices. Embodiments are further related to devices for generating airflow or suction for stimulation purposes.BACKGROUND

[0003] Clitoral and / or vaginal stimulation plays an important role in female sexual arousal and satisfaction. It is well understood that stimulation can increase blood flow creating increased sexual arousal. Many sexual stimulators are solely or primarily driven by vibration. The vibratory mechanism is meant to provide stimulation resulting in tumescence, and ultimately, sexual arousal.

[0004] However, it has become increasingly clear that suction is an effective means of facilitating sexual stimulation. Certain prior art approaches to sexual stimulation involve the use of a vacuum device, used to generate suction. These devices are an improvement over standard vibratory solutions. However, there remain significant limitations in current systems.

[0005] For example, many such devices are inefficient, expensive to design and build, and are not sufficiently sanitary because they include shapes and voids which are difficult to access.

[0006] In addition, most currently available stimulation devices offer very little to control the level of stimulation. Even those devices which do have some measure of control usually only offer quantum gradations such as “low”, “medium”, or “high”. This type of control is insufficient to allow a user to find a level of stimulation that perfectly matches their needs.

[0007] As such, there is a need in the art for improved sexual stimulation devices as disclosed herein.SUMMARY
