Inflatable Toy Support Holder for Secure Fit and Control Access
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing support arrangements for sex toys often restrict movement and access to controls, making hands-free use uncomfortable and difficult, especially for individuals with mobility issues.
Innovation Solution
A support apparatus with an inflatable element that adjusts the aperture size for secure frictional engagement, allowing for flexible attachment to various body types and surfaces, and providing access to controls through a void between the attachment and holding portions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If strap arrangements are used to secure the toy to the body or surface, then the toy is retained in a fixed position, but movement relative to the toy becomes difficult or uncomfortable and access to controls is restricted
Solution Approach 1:
The holding portion is made adjustable through an inflatable element that can change the size of the aperture. This allows the support apparatus to transition from a fixed rigid position to an adjustable dynamic position, enabling both secure retention and comfortable movement relative to the toy while maintaining access to controls
2Reliability
If rigid support arrangements are used, then the toy is securely retained, but movement relative to the toy becomes difficult or uncomfortable
Solution Approach 1:
The inflatable element enables the holding portion to adjust its aperture size, transforming the support apparatus from a rigid fixed structure to a dynamic adjustable structure. This allows the apparatus to securely retain the toy while accommodating various movement preferences and body positions
Solution Approach 2:
The aperture size parameter is made variable through the inflatable element. By changing the inflation level, the apparatus can adapt to different toy sizes, shapes, and user preferences, providing both secure retention and movement flexibility
3Device complexity
If the aperture size is fixed, then the support apparatus is simple in structure, but devices of varying sizes cannot be retained effectively
Solution Approach 1:
An inflatable element is incorporated into the holding portion to enable adjustable aperture sizing. This pneumatic mechanism allows the support apparatus to accommodate devices of varying sizes while maintaining a relatively simple overall structure
Solution Approach 2:
The aperture dimensions are made variable through the inflatable element, allowing the same support apparatus structure to effectively retain devices of different sizes by simply adjusting the inflation level rather than requiring multiple fixed-size apparatus
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
Enables comfortable and varied interaction with sex toys, accommodating different sizes and shapes, and facilitating access to controls, enhancing user experience and satisfaction, particularly for those with mobility limitations.
Implementation Method 1
the holding portion having an inflatable element which is operable to adjust the size of said aperture
Implementation Method 2
the holding portion is adapted for frictional engagement with a device inserted into the aperture
