Rotating Ring Coupling Mechanism for Masturbation Device
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing male masturbator devices with screw thread coupling mechanisms lack the ability to rotate freely, limiting the angular position adjustments and thereby reducing user satisfaction during the masturbating act.
Innovation Solution
A design featuring rings with perimeter ribbing and grooving that allow for free rotation, enabling the rings to be positioned and rearranged for enhanced user experience, with the option to mix and match rings for varying diameters and textures, and incorporating a dome piece and lid for closure and maintenance.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If screw thread coupling mechanisms are used to join rings, then the rings are securely connected, but the rings cannot rotate freely and cannot adapt their angular positions
Solution Approach 1:
The coupling mechanism is divided into two functional parts: the screw thread provides secure connection, while the perimeter ribbing and groove enable free rotation. This segmentation allows each feature to perform its specific function without interfering with the other.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent combines multiple coupling features (screw thread for secure connection, perimeter ribbing for rotation, groove for positioning) into a single integrated coupling system that achieves both secure attachment and free rotational movement simultaneously.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple rings with different internal sections are assembled, then the device can be customized to user preferences, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The device is divided into multiple interchangeable rings, each with different internal sections. Users can select and assemble individual rings according to their preferences, creating customization without requiring a completely different device for each configuration.
Solution Approach 2:
The standardized coupling mechanism (screw thread, perimeter ribbing, groove) serves as a universal interface that works with all rings regardless of their specific internal section design. This allows different rings to be mixed and matched using the same coupling system, simplifying the overall device architecture despite the variety of configurations available.
3Ease of operation
If the device is designed as a complete unit, then it provides a fixed structure, but it cannot be easily cleaned or maintained
Solution Approach 1:
The device is segmented into multiple detachable rings that can be separated for cleaning and maintenance. The standardized coupling mechanism allows the rings to be easily assembled and disassembled while maintaining structural integrity when connected.
Solution Approach 2:
The design allows individual rings to be removed, cleaned, inspected, and replaced independently. If a ring becomes damaged or worn, only that specific ring needs to be discarded or maintained, not the entire device, reducing waste and maintenance effort.

AI summary
The Male Masturbating Device is formed by a diversity of rings (1), all fitted with means of coupling between them, that form a tubular body (4). Each ring presents an internal different specific design and their joint make the orifice (8) or space where the penis is introduced in order to perform the masturbating act.
