Modular Sexual Stimulation System With Dynamic Retention Element
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing sexual stimulation systems lack versatility and comfort, often causing buzzing or rattling due to fixed mechanisms, which can be uncomfortable for users.
Innovation Solution
A modular sexual stimulation system comprising an excitation device and accessory that can transition between unmated and mated configurations, featuring a retention element with a bridge member and flanges to minimize relative motion, and optional motion arresting elements to prevent buzzing and rattling.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If a fixed mechanism is used to couple the excitation device to the user, then the device structure is simple, but the device produces buzzing or rattling during use
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies the dynamics principle by making the coupling mechanism adjustable rather than fixed. The retention element can transition between multiple configurations (unmated, mated, and intermediate positions), allowing the system to adapt its coupling characteristics during use. This dynamic adjustment capability enables the device to minimize relative motion and vibrations while maintaining structural simplicity.
2Object-generated harmful factors
If a modular design with retention elements is used to minimize relative motion, then vibrations are reduced, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements the nesting principle by placing the retention element within the excitation device housing. The retention element with its bridge member and flanges is nested inside the device, allowing it to provide vibration reduction functionality while occupying minimal space and integrating seamlessly with the overall device structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies segmentation by dividing the coupling mechanism into distinct functional components: the retention element, the bridge member, and the flanges. This segmentation allows each component to be optimized for its specific function while working together as an integrated system to minimize vibrations without requiring complete redesign of the entire device.
3Ease of operation
If the retention element is configured to retain the accessory in multiple positions, then user comfort and adjustability are improved, but the mechanism becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The retention element is designed with dynamic adjustability, allowing it to move between unmated, mated, and intermediate configurations. This dynamic capability enables users to select the most comfortable position while the retention mechanism maintains simplicity through the coordinated movement of the bridge member and flanges within the housing.
