Solution Overview

Problem

The male sex toy market lacks devices that effectively deliver adjustable and high-amplitude vibrations to the penis, with most products being non-adjustable, not hands-free, or designed to fit around the base, failing to provide optimal stimulation for recreational use.

Innovation Solution

A hands-free device that applies adjustable vibrations to the frenulum, featuring a motor-driven vibratory surface with adjustable amplitude and frequency, held in place by an elastic strap, allowing for customizable stimulation without manual intervention.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Power

If vibration amplitude is increased to improve stimulation effectiveness, then the device cannot be hands-free due to increased weight

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevibration amplitudeVSAvoiddevice weight
Core Design Contradiction:
PowerVSWeight of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The device is divided into two separate components: a lightweight vibratory unit that attaches to the penis and a separate power supply unit that remains outside the body. This segmentation allows the vibratory part to remain lightweight and hands-free while the power supply provides sufficient energy for high-amplitude vibrations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The power supply is extracted from the vibratory unit and placed separately on the user's body. This extraction removes the weight burden from the penis-attached component while maintaining the capability for high-amplitude vibrations through the connected power source.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

2Speed

If vibration frequency is increased to improve stimulation, then amplitude must be reduced due to energy constraints

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevibration frequencyVSAvoidvibration amplitude
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSPower

Solution Approach 1:

The control system provides multiple vibration modes that can deliver both high-frequency and high-amplitude vibrations by utilizing the separate power supply. This multi-functional control allows the device to overcome the typical trade-off between frequency and amplitude that constrains integrated designs.

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

3Shape

If device is designed to fit around base of penis, then it cannot effectively stimulate the frenulum

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedevice positioningVSAvoidstimulation effectiveness
Core Design Contradiction:
ShapeVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

Instead of placing the vibratory mechanism at the base of the penis as in conventional cock rings, this invention inverts the approach by positioning the vibratory surface directly at the frenulum where stimulation is needed. The anchoring mechanism is reversed to secure the device at the target location rather than at the base.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #13The other way round (Inversion)

4Power

If device requires manual holding, then vibration amplitude can be maintained but hands-free operation is lost

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevibration amplitudeVSAvoidhands-free operation
Core Design Contradiction:
PowerVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The device segments the heavy power supply function from the lightweight application unit. The vibratory part that attaches to the penis contains only the essential vibration generation components, making it lightweight enough for hands-free operation, while the separate power supply provides sufficient energy for high-amplitude vibrations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
