Solution Overview

Problem

Current anal plugs fail to achieve an aesthetically pleasing and realistic appearance with attached animal tails, as the tail attachment point is typically too close to the anal orifice, compromising both visual appeal and sanitation.

Innovation Solution

Designing an anal plug with a tail attachment point positioned near the upper tail bone/lower lumbar spine, using a combination of platinum cure silicone and durable plastics like TPU or ABS for the core and mount, ensuring a stable, hygienic, and realistic attachment that enhances both aesthetic and sanitary aspects.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Shape

If the tail attachment point is positioned close to the anal orifice, then the tail appears shorter and more compact, but the aesthetic appearance deteriorates and sanitary concerns increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetail appearanceVSAvoidsanitary contamination
Core Design Contradiction:
ShapeVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent repositions the tail attachment from a horizontal location near the orifice to a vertical location on the upper tail bone/lumbar spine. This dimensional change in attachment location simultaneously improves aesthetics by placing the tail where it naturally appears on the body and improves sanitation by distancing the attachment point from bodily orifices.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary attachment mechanism (mount and core structure) that connects the tail to the anal plug body. This intermediary system allows the tail to be positioned on the lumbar spine rather than directly at the orifice, serving as a mediator that resolves both aesthetic and sanitary concerns while maintaining structural integrity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Ease of manufacture

If the tail attachment is made simple and direct, then the manufacturing process is easier, but the aesthetic realism and stability deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveattachment processVSAvoidtail realism
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSShape

Solution Approach 1:

The attachment system is divided into separate components: a mount portion that attaches to the tail, a core portion that provides structural support, and a connection mechanism that joins them. This segmentation allows each component to be optimized independently for both manufacturing ease and aesthetic realism, with the modular design simplifying production while enabling complex geometric configurations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent employs composite material construction, combining different materials with complementary properties for the mount and core portions. This allows the attachment system to achieve both structural stability for realistic tail positioning and ease of manufacture through standardized material processes, while the composite structure enables complex geometries that enhance aesthetic realism.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

3Object-affected harmful factors

If the tail attachment point is moved to the upper tail bone/lumbar spine, then the aesthetic appearance and sanitation improve, but the structural complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesanitary contaminationVSAvoidattachment structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The mount and core attachment structure serves multiple functions simultaneously: it provides structural support for the tail, enables positioning on the lumbar spine, maintains structural integrity during use, and facilitates easy cleaning and sanitation. By designing the attachment system to perform multiple functions, the patent achieves improved sanitation and aesthetics without proportionally increasing structural complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
