Solution Overview

Problem

Existing sexual stimulation devices often fail to provide effective and efficient vibration, leading to inadequate orgasm intensity and duration, especially for women, due to energy dissipation and limited vibration types, and can be bulky and noisy.

Innovation Solution

An electromechanical sexual stimulation device with directly drivable stimulation fingers that move along separate pathways, allowing for varied motions such as rubbing and squeezing, and efficient energy transfer, reducing hand vibration and enhancing pleasurable stimulation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Power

If an eccentrically mounted rotating mass is used to generate vibrations, then the device can provide vibration stimulation, but the vibrations are limited in type and energy dissipates away from the body part

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevibration powerVSAvoidenergy dissipation
Core Design Contradiction:
PowerVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The device divides the housing into multiple sections with independently movable stimulation fingers, each capable of distinct motion patterns. This segmentation allows different fingers to provide varied vibration types simultaneously while directing energy efficiently to specific body parts, preventing energy dissipation to unwanted areas.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The stimulation fingers are designed to move dynamically along predetermined pathways with varying speeds, directions, and patterns. This dynamic motion enables the device to adapt vibration delivery to different body parts and user preferences, maximizing energy transfer efficiency while providing diverse stimulation types.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Adaptability or versatility

If the whole device vibrates to provide stimulation, then vibration coverage is increased, but the user experiences discomfort over time

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevibration coverageVSAvoiduser discomfort
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The vibration function is extracted from the entire housing and localized to specific movable fingers within designated sections. Only the necessary portions of the device that contact the body part vibrate, while the rest of the housing remains stationary, eliminating the discomfort caused by whole-device vibration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

Different sections of the housing contain stimulation fingers with specialized motion characteristics tailored to specific stimulation needs. Each finger can be optimized for particular vibration patterns, pressures, and pathways, providing localized quality control over the stimulation delivered to different areas of the body part.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Power

If large powerful vibrators are used to provide intense stimulation, then orgasm intensity increases, but the devices become bulky and noisy

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestimulation intensityVSAvoiddevice size
Core Design Contradiction:
PowerVSVolume of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The device segments the vibration function into multiple small, independent motors distributed throughout the housing, each driving individual stimulation fingers. This segmentation allows the device to deliver powerful, intense stimulation through coordinated finger movements while maintaining a compact overall size, avoiding the bulkiness of single large motors.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

An electromechanical sexual stimulation device for providing sexual stimulation to a body part. The device comprises a housing, and a first stimulation finger for stimulating the body part. The first finger is directly drivable so as to be able to oscillate with respect to the housing along a first pathway. The device comprises a second stimulation finger for stimulating the body part. The second finger is directly drivable so as to be able to oscillate with respect to the housing along a second pathway. The first finger is constrained to be moveable with respect to the housing along the first pathway and the second finger is constrained to be moveable with respect to the housing along the second pathway.
