Innovation Solution
A combination sexual stimulation device featuring an elongate member for internal G-spot stimulation and an external clitoral stimulation arm, connected by a flexible resilient or malleable connecting portion that allows movement between open and compressed positions, ensuring constant contact and adjustable shape for user comfort.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stability of the object's composition
If a rigid connection is used between the internal and external stimulation components, then structural stability is improved, but adaptability to different anatomies deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies a flexible resilient connecting portion that allows dynamic adjustment between an open position for internal stimulation and a compressed position for external stimulation. This dynamic structure enables the device to adapt to different genital anatomies while maintaining structural integrity during use.
Solution Approach 2:
The connecting portion changes its physical state between flexible and compressed configurations. By altering the flexibility parameter of the connecting portion, the device can transition between different operational modes (internal vs. external stimulation) while maintaining stability in each mode.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the external stimulation arm is made highly flexible, then adaptability to different anatomies is improved, but structural stability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The resilient connecting portion allows the external stimulation arm to change its shape and position relative to the internal member. The flexibility parameter can be adjusted through compression, enabling the arm to conform to different anatomical shapes while maintaining sufficient structural stability during stimulation.
3Manufacturing precision
If a fixed-position design is used, then manufacturing precision is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The device transitions from a fixed-position design to a dynamic configuration where the external stimulation arm can move between an open position and a compressed position. This dynamic design improves ease of operation by allowing users to access different stimulation positions while maintaining manufacturing precision through defined structural components.
4Ease of operation
If the connecting portion is made very resilient, then ease of operation is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses a resilient connecting portion that functions as a flexible element to enable movement between positions. This flexible shell approach provides ease of operation through natural flexibility and comfort while avoiding the need for complex mechanical joints or actuators, thus limiting the increase in device complexity.
