Solution Overview

Problem

Existing pelvic harnesses often suffer from discomfort, instability, and cumbersome designs, particularly when securing dildos or penis prosthetics, as they require straps that can rub against sensitive areas and fail to accommodate testicles or a penis effectively.

Innovation Solution

A strapless pelvic harness design featuring a tab and saddle with a flexible frame that allows a penis or scrotum to pass through, providing secure attachment without straps, and optional accessories like secondary dildos or extender erection accessories for enhanced stability and comfort.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If traditional strap-on harnesses are used to secure dildos, then the dildo can be attached to the user's body, but the straps rub against sensitive areas causing discomfort and provide limited stability

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestability of dildo attachmentVSAvoiddiscomfort from strap friction
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent removes the traditional strap system entirely and replaces it with a bulbous base that secures internally within the user's rectum or vagina. This extraction of the harmful strap element eliminates friction against sensitive external areas while maintaining secure attachment through internal anchoring.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The bulbous base acts as an intermediary element that transfers the attachment function from external straps to internal anatomical structures. The base mediates between the dildo shaft and the user's body cavity, providing stable attachment through internal engagement rather than external strap pressure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If multiple straps are added to improve stability, then the harness can better secure the dildo, but the design becomes more cumbersome and uncomfortable

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestability of harnessVSAvoidnumber of straps and components
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines the attachment mechanism and anchoring function into a single integrated bulbous base structure. This merging eliminates the need for multiple separate straps and fasteners, reducing overall device complexity while maintaining secure attachment through the unified base design.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The bulbous base serves multiple functions simultaneously: it acts as the attachment point for the dildo shaft, provides internal anchoring within the body cavity, and eliminates the need for external straps. This multi-functionality reduces the number of components needed while achieving stable harnessing.

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

3Reliability

If a bulb is inserted into the vagina or anus to secure the erogenic stimulator, then the device can be held in place, but inserting the bulb becomes uncomfortable and coupling may be difficult

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesecuring of erogenic stimulatorVSAvoidease of bulb insertion
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The bulbous base is designed with dynamic flexibility, allowing it to deform and adapt during insertion. The base can be compressed to a smaller profile for easier insertion and then expands to its full anchoring shape once positioned, making the insertion process more comfortable while maintaining secure attachment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The bulbous base undergoes parameter changes during insertion, transitioning from a compressed state (easier to insert) to an expanded anchoring state (more secure). This parameter transformation allows the base to be inserted comfortably while still providing reliable securing of the erogenic stimulator.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

AI summary

One feature pertains to a pelvic harness comprising a tab having a first surface that is adapted to secure to at least a portion of a superior pubic skin region, and a saddle having a first surface adapted to secure to at least a portion of a perineal-anal region. The tab may be positioned at a first end of the pelvic harness, and the saddle may be positioned at a second, opposite end of the pelvic harness. The pelvic harness may further comprise a frame having a first end and a second end, where the frame's first end is coupled to the tab and the second end is coupled to the saddle. A portion of the frame may form an opening positioned in between the tab and the saddle. The frame may include a rail portion that includes at least two rails that define the opening.
