Solution Overview

Problem

Existing sexual stimulation devices, such as dildos, lack improved stimulation and versatility, failing to provide effective and enhanced experiences.

Innovation Solution

A mechanized dildo with an expandable girth mechanism featuring a cam system driven by a motorized shaft, using a combination of drive and passive cams to reciprocally expand and contract the phallic sleeve, along with integrated vibrator mechanisms for enhanced stimulation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a dildo uses only static structure without expandable mechanism, then the device is simple in structure, but the stimulation versatility and user satisfaction are limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestimulation versatilityVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies the dynamics principle by transforming the static dildo structure into a dynamic one with expandable girth capability. The cam mechanism enables the phallic sleeve to change its diameter dynamically during operation, allowing the device to adapt to different stimulation preferences and enhance versatility without requiring multiple separate devices.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements the nesting principle by placing the cam mechanism, drive shaft, and control components inside the hollow interior of the phallic sleeve. This nested arrangement allows the complex mechanical components to be concealed within the outer structure, maintaining a relatively simple external form while incorporating advanced functionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

2Reliability

If a dildo incorporates expandable girth mechanism with cam system, then the stimulation effectiveness is improved, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestimulation effectivenessVSAvoidmechanism complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies segmentation by dividing the expandable mechanism into distinct functional components: the phallic sleeve, passive cam, drive cam, drive shaft, and spring element. Each component has a specific function, and their coordinated interaction achieves reliable girth expansion and contraction, making the complex mechanism manageable and maintainable.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements self-service through the spring element that automatically returns the passive cam to its initial position after expansion. This self-resetting mechanism eliminates the need for complex control systems to retract the cam, allowing the device to perform multiple expansion cycles automatically once activated, thereby improving reliability while reducing control complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Ease of operation

If a dildo includes motorized control with multiple functions, then the ease of operation is enhanced, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontrol convenienceVSAvoidcontrol system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies the merging principle by integrating the motor, control circuitry, and mechanical cam system into a unified assembly. The motor unit is positioned within the handle region, and its output shaft is directly coupled to the drive cam, eliminating the need for complex transmission mechanisms. This integrated design simplifies operation while managing the inherent complexity of motorized control.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

AI summary

A mechanized dildo, including a motor driven coaxial plurality of longitudinally spaced drive cams, and corresponding sets of passive cams that operate within an elastic phallic sleeve to locally cyclically expand a girth of the sleeve. Optional vibratory elements are positioned proximate a distal extremity of the sleeve, and in a laterally extending arm that is formed for clitoral stimulation. A battery powered control handle provides multiple operating modes and speeds.
