Indirect Stimulation Device Using Pressure Generator
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing sexual stimulation devices, such as vibrators, can cause skin irritation and may not be hygienically acceptable for direct genital contact, and they often fail to provide a pleasurable experience due to direct contact with sensitive areas.
Innovation Solution
A stimulation device with a pressure generator featuring a chamber and a linear reciprocating mechanism that creates alternating positive and negative pressures, simulating a suction effect for indirect stimulation, using a motor-driven crank-link mechanism and a concentric stationary and movable sleeve configuration to vary the chamber volume.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If vibrators are used to apply stimulus to the skin by direct contact, then stimulation effect is achieved, but skin irritation or inflammation occurs
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a pressure generator as an intermediary device that applies stimulus indirectly through pressure changes rather than direct mechanical contact. The pressure generator creates alternating pressure cycles that stimulate the erogenous zone without requiring direct skin contact with vibrating elements, thus eliminating skin irritation while maintaining stimulation effectiveness
2Ease of operation
If direct contact of the genital area with stimulation tools is made, then stimulation is achieved, but hygiene concerns or personal reservations arise
Solution Approach 1:
The pressure generator serves as a hygienic intermediary that transmits stimulation through pressure waves without requiring direct contact with the genital area. The device can be positioned close to the erogenous zone to deliver effective stimulation while maintaining a barrier that ensures hygiene, eliminating the need for direct skin contact with the stimulation mechanism
3Ease of operation
If direct stimulation to the glans is applied, then stimulation is achieved, but pleasure is reduced due to high sensitivity
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by targeting specific areas for stimulation - the pressure generator is designed to stimulate the hood or areas near the glans rather than directly contacting the glans itself. This localized approach to stimulation respects the high sensitivity of the glans while still achieving effective sexual arousal through indirect pressure application to the surrounding tissues
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The device enhances blood circulation and sensitivity of the erogenous zone, providing a realistic and pleasurable stimulation without the risks of direct contact, maintaining user comfort and hygiene, and avoiding habituation or addiction.
Implementation Method 1
The drive unit is configured to cause reciprocating motion of the movable container via the linear reciprocating mechanism, thereby resulting in a changing volume of the chamber
Implementation Method 2
creating alternating positive and negative pressures, simulating a suction effect for indirect stimulation

AI summary
Embodiments of the present disclosure disclose a stimulation device. The stimulation device includes a pressure generator comprising a chamber including a bottom wall and an opening configured to engage a portion of a body of a user, a drive unit, and a linear reciprocating mechanism. The drive unit is configured to cause reciprocating motion of the bottom wall via the linear reciprocating mechanism, thereby resulting in a changing volume of the chamber. The pressure generator further comprises a stationary sleeve and a motional sleeve, with motional sleeve disposed between the stationary sleeve and the bottom wall, such that, stationary sleeve and the motional sleeve are concentric with each other and define the chamber with the bottom wall.
