Solution Overview

Problem

Existing devices for sexual stimulation lack variability in stimulation effects and require manual movement, limiting their ability to mimic natural stimulation effectively.

Innovation Solution

A phallus-shaped stimulation device with a movably arranged magnetic carrier that allows the magnetic holding means to be pulled longitudinally, enabling movement of the stimulation element parallel or transversely without a direct mechanical connection, and featuring interchangeable stimulation elements with adjustable movement directions and speeds, along with a length-changing mechanism using permanent magnets and a guide system.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a direct mechanical connection is provided between the holding means and the counter-holder, then the structural stability is improved, but the device complexity increases and ease of operation deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestructural stabilityVSAvoidease of operation
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces direct mechanical connections with magnetic fields. The magnetic holding means and counter-holder interact through magnetic attraction/repulsion forces, eliminating the need for physical contact points, joints, and mechanical linkages. This substitution provides structural stability through magnetic forces while maintaining ease of operation by allowing wireless, contactless control.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces magnetic fields as an intermediary between the holding means and counter-holder. Instead of direct mechanical contact, the magnetic field serves as the medium that transmits force and control, enabling stable yet flexible interaction without rigid mechanical constraints.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Device complexity

If the stimulation element is fixed in position, then the device complexity is reduced, but the adaptability deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedevice complexityVSAvoidadaptability
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic positioning of the stimulation element through magnetic actuation. The stimulation element can be moved to different positions and orientations within the stimulation body by controlling the magnetic fields, allowing the same device to adapt to different user needs and anatomical variations without requiring multiple fixed configurations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent designs the stimulation element to perform multiple functions through a single movable component. By positioning one stimulation element at different locations and angles, the device can stimulate various areas and provide different stimulation patterns, replacing what would otherwise require multiple fixed stimulation elements.

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

3Adaptability or versatility

If manual movement is required for stimulation, then the adaptability is improved, but the ease of operation deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveadaptabilityVSAvoidease of operation
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent enables the stimulation device to perform its own positioning and stimulation delivery without requiring manual manipulation. The magnetic actuation system automatically moves the stimulation element to the desired position and maintains it there, allowing the device to serve itself and eliminating the need for continuous manual adjustment by the user.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces manual mechanical movement with automated magnetic actuation. The magnetic holding means and counter-holder work together to automatically position and move the stimulation element, substituting human manual operation with an automated magnetic control system that provides both ease of operation and adaptability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

4Manufacturing precision

If the stimulation body is rigid, then the manufacturing precision is improved, but the adaptability deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemanufacturing precisionVSAvoidadaptability
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent incorporates a movable stimulation element within a rigid stimulation body. While the outer shell maintains precise manufacturing tolerances and structural integrity, the internal stimulation element can dynamically reposition itself through magnetic actuation, combining the benefits of rigid construction with adaptive functionality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent divides the stimulation device into a rigid outer stimulation body and a movable internal stimulation element. This segmentation allows the outer shell to be manufactured with high precision for structural stability, while the internal element provides adaptability through magnetic positioning and movement.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Implementation Method 2

the stimulation element comprises permanent magnets arranged on and/or in the shell and at least one magnetic repulsion element, which has opposite polarity to the permanent magnets, is movably arranged inside the stimulation body. If the repelling element is moved close to the permanent magnets, these are repelled and the shell bulges as a result

Methodology Applied
Scientific EffectMagnetic repulsion: Magnetism
