Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional sexual stimulation devices are malleable and do not return to their original shape, providing weak vibrations that can cause discomfort due to excessive vibration transmission to the handle.

Innovation Solution

A flexible stimulation device with a resilient elastic connection between the base and distal portions, allowing for enhanced angular motion and vibration damping to reduce discomfort and increase pleasure by using a flexible elastic connection portion that allows the distal portion to bend and return to its original shape, while reducing vibration transmission to the base.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Stability of the object's composition

If the device uses a rigid connection between base and distal portions, then structural stability is improved, but vibration transmission to the handle increases causing discomfort

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvestructural stabilityVSAvoidvibration transmission

Core Design Contradiction:

Stability of the object's compositionVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies a flexible elastic connection portion between the base and distal portions, allowing the connection to flex and absorb vibration while maintaining structural integrity. This flexible connection acts as a vibration isolator, preventing excessive vibration transmission to the handle while preserving the necessary structural stability for device function.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #30Flexible shells and thin films

Solution Approach 2:

The flexible elastic connection portion serves as an intermediary element between the base and distal portions. It mediates the vibration transmission by providing a compliant connection that reduces the propagation of vibrational forces to the handle, while still allowing the device to maintain its operational structure.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Stability of the object's composition

If the device uses a rigid connection between base and distal portions, then structural stability is improved, but angular range of motion is limited reducing stimulation effectiveness

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvestructural stabilityVSAvoidangular range of motion

Core Design Contradiction:

Stability of the object's compositionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The flexible elastic connection portion enables the distal portion to move through a greater angular range while maintaining structural stability. The flexibility of the connection allows dynamic adjustment of the distal portion's position and angle during use, enhancing adaptability to different stimulation needs while preserving overall structural integrity.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #30Flexible shells and thin films

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces dynamic capability to the connection between base and distal portions through the flexible elastic material. This allows the connection to adapt its configuration in real-time based on usage requirements, enabling increased angular range of motion while maintaining stability during operation.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #15Dynamics

3Adaptability or versatility

If the device uses a flexible connection between base and distal portions, then angular range of motion is improved, but connection strength may be reduced

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveangular range of motionVSAvoidconnection strength

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSStrength

Solution Approach 1:

The flexible elastic connection portion is designed to provide both flexibility and sufficient strength. The elastic material maintains adequate connection strength to support device operation while allowing the necessary angular range of motion. The connection strength is sufficient to handle operational forces while preserving adaptability.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #30Flexible shells and thin films

AI summary

Flexible stimulation devices are disclosed that allow for angular motion of the distal portion for enhanced pleasure. The devices include a base portion and a distal portion connected by flexible elastic connection portion. The flexible elastic connection portion is positioned between the handle and the distal portion of the stimulation device to allow for an increased angular range of motion of the distal portion and to reduce or eliminate the transmission of vibration from the distal portion to the base portion. The angular range of motion of the distal portion of the flexible stimulation device enables the user to experience enhanced labial, clitoral, penetrative or "G" spot stimulation depending on their desired use.
