Vibrator Tether System for Stable Finger Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional vibrators for sexual stimulation, particularly those used for clitoral stimulation, often cause discomfort and instability due to the lack of a convenient handle, leading to tension, fatigue, and reduced effectiveness as they can slip or fall during use, especially for female users due to anatomical constraints.
Innovation Solution
The design incorporates a tether system, including a hand harness, brace, or glove, allowing users to insert their fingers through a band for enhanced stability and control, with a neck mechanism and adjustable orientations to maintain comfortable positioning and provide varying vibratory sensations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If a conventional vibrator without a handle is used, then the device can be simple and easy to manufacture, but it causes discomfort, tension, and fatigue in the user's wrist, arm, or shoulder
Solution Approach 1:
A tether is introduced as an intermediary element between the vibrator body and the user's hand. The tether includes a band that can be positioned around the user's fingers or hand, serving as a mediator that transmits control while distributing mechanical stress away from the wrist, arm, and shoulder joints.
2Device complexity
If a conventional vibrator without a handle is used, then the device structure remains simple, but it slips or falls during use due to lack of stable grip
Solution Approach 1:
The tether acts as an intermediary that secures the vibrator to the user's hand. The band portion of the tether wraps around the fingers or hand, creating a reliable mechanical connection that prevents slipping or falling during use, while the vibrator body itself remains relatively simple in structure.
3Ease of operation
If a single handle is added to the vibrator, then the device provides some grip support, but it is still difficult to hold comfortably and maintain accurate position control
Solution Approach 1:
Instead of adding a single handle that requires gripping, the tether serves as an intermediary that distributes the holding function across multiple fingers or the entire hand. This allows accurate position control through natural finger dexterity while the tether bears the mechanical load, avoiding the need for a complex handle structure.
4Ease of operation
If the user grasps and holds the vibrator during use, then the device can be controlled, but it causes tension, fatigue, and discomfort in the wrist, arm, or shoulder
Solution Approach 1:
The tether serves as an intermediary that transfers the control function from the wrist, arm, and shoulder to the hand and fingers. By wrapping the band around the fingers or hand, it allows precise device control through natural finger movements while eliminating the need for continuous gripping that causes muscle tension and fatigue.
5Object-affected harmful factors
If the hand or fingers relax during use, then the user experiences less tension, but the vibrator slips or falls resulting in reduction of stimulation effectiveness
Solution Approach 1:
The tether acts as an intermediary that maintains device position stability independently of hand muscle tension. The band wrapped around the fingers or hand provides continuous mechanical constraint, ensuring the vibrator remains securely positioned even when the hand relaxes, thereby preventing slipping or falling while allowing the user to experience less tension.
