Solution Overview

Problem

Existing marital or sexual aids often require cumbersome straps for retention, are not self-retaining, and are designed primarily for single-user or co-linear stimulation, making simultaneous use by two partners inconvenient and uncomfortable.

Innovation Solution

A two-piece erogenic stimulator system comprising a cylindrical phallic body and a U-shaped member with an annulus, allowing the phallic body to be hung on the U-shaped member without straps, ensuring self-retention and enabling simultaneous stimulation of both partners.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If straps are used to retain the device, then the device can be held in place, but the fastening process becomes cumbersome and causes delay

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedevice retentionVSAvoidfastening time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The device is designed to be self-retaining through its structural configuration. The co-linear phallic shapes are positioned such that when one end is inserted into a partner's body, the geometry of the device automatically retains it in place without requiring external straps or fastening mechanisms. This eliminates the time-consuming strap fastening process while maintaining reliable retention.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

Instead of using external straps to hold the device (conventional approach), the invention inverts the approach by making the device itself structurally self-retaining through its co-linear geometry and positioning. The device retains itself through its own configuration rather than relying on separate retention mechanisms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #13The other way round (Inversion)

2Adaptability or versatility

If co-linear phallic shapes are used, then the device can stimulate both partners, but gymnastic-like maneuvers are required for simultaneous use

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesimultaneous use by two partnersVSAvoidease of simultaneous use
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The device employs asymmetric positioning of the two phallic shapes in a co-linear arrangement rather than a symmetric side-by-side configuration. This asymmetric co-linear geometry allows the shapes to be positioned at different angles and orientations, enabling partners to insert them simultaneously without requiring gymnastic maneuvers. The asymmetry in positioning facilitates natural insertion angles for both users.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #4Asymmetry

3Ease of operation

If one end is retained in the vagina or anal cavity, then the other end is free to stimulate, but the device is not self-retaining

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefree stimulation capabilityVSAvoidself-retention
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The device is designed with self-retaining properties through its co-linear geometric configuration. When one phallic shape is inserted into a partner's body cavity, the overall geometry and positioning of the co-linear arrangement automatically retain the device in place, preventing accidental dislodgement while keeping the other end free for stimulation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

The erogenic stimulator may be a two-piece stimulator for use by two partners or may be an erogenic stimulator hanger for a phallic body member. The phallic body member includes a distal end and a proximal base end with one or more radial flange elements. The second member (sometimes referred to as the hanger) has a bulbous proximal end portion, sized for receipt in an anal or vaginal cavity, a U-shaped curved stem leading a distal annulus. The annulus has an opening with a cross-sectional dimension greater than the maximal cross-sectional dimension of the phallic body member. The phallic body member is inserted and hung on the annulus of the U-shaped second member-hanger. The inboard face of the annulus abuts the inboard face of the flange elements of the cylindrical body member.
