Definitions

• the present invention relates to a device for stimulating the genitals or erogenous parts of a person, and a stimulation method implementing such a device.
• a device for stimulating the genitals or erogenous parts of a person and a stimulation method implementing such a device.
• dildo phallic prostheses reproducing the conventional appearance of a male.
• these dildos are also equipped with a power supply so as to produce vibrations that enhance the stimulation.
• stimulating devices such as geisha balls or vibrating ducks.
• the person needs his hands or a third person to use the device. She can not use them for other activities.
• the aforementioned stimulation devices can be fixed on supports on which the user sits. By operating a back and forth movement, generally in the vertical direction, he can thus, while having the use of his hands, stimulate his genitals or erogenous parts.
• a known solution described in particular in the US 2007/0106110 US patent application, for example consists of attaching a dildo on the outer periphery of a jumping balloon.
• the person sitting on the ball must successively move away and approach the outer surface of the balloon if she wants to get an effective stimulation. She needs her hands to support the ball.
• this method of stimulation presents a risk for the user since, when performing these movements back and forth, the dildo may no longer be aligned with the anus or the vagina of the user. By sinking into the skin of the user, he can therefore seriously hurt him.
• the object of the present invention is therefore to propose a stimulation device that does not have the drawbacks of the solution described above.
• Another subject of the present invention also relates to a method for stimulating the genitals or erogenous parts of a person according to claim 19.
• the device and method of stimulation of the present invention allows a person to be stimulated while sitting on an exercise ball or fun and while having hands free.
• FIG. 1 shows a schematic cross-sectional view of a first embodiment of a stimulation device according to the present invention, the ball being in its rest position;
• FIG. 2 shows a view similar to that of Figure 1, the ball being in its deformed position;
• FIG. 3 shows a schematic cross-sectional view of a second embodiment of a stimulation device according to the present invention, the ball being in its rest position;
• FIG. 4 represents a diagrammatic cross-sectional view of a third variant embodiment of a stimulation device according to the present invention, the ball being in its rest position;
• FIG. 5 represents a perspective view of a receptacle that can be used in the stimulation device represented in FIG. 4.
• This stimulation device 10 is formed firstly of an inflatable and deformable bullet 1 of the "jumper-ball" type, in which an interior space E int is separated from the outer space E ext surrounding the ball 1 by a elastic membrane constituting the ball 1, this inner space E int being filled with a fluid, and preferably a gas.
• the membrane will advantageously be formed of a thermoplastic material.
• Ball 1 will also be configured to support the weight of an average man without bursting. Thus, the ball 1 can support a weight of up to 1.5 kN, or even as the case may be, up to 5 kN, without risk of bursting.
• the ball Due to the weight of the person seated on the ball and the additional pressure exerted by that person when the ball bounces off the ground or when the person intentionally uses the muscles of his or her legs to press the ball against the ground, the ball is deformed. It thus passes from a rest position, in which no pressure is exerted on it by the person, the person not sitting on the ball, to a deformed position, in which pressure is exerted on it by the person, the person sitting on the ball and possibly exerting additional pressure on it. In its rest position, shown in Figure 1, the ball 1 has a shape substantially spherical and, in its deformed position, shown in Figure 2, the ball 1 is no longer substantially spherical.
• the bale 1 may in particular have a substantially ovoid or patato ⁇ de shape in which the distance between a point disposed on the surface of the ball of the center of gravity of the ball is variable depending on the point.
• a substantially ovoid or patato ⁇ de shape in which the distance between a point disposed on the surface of the ball of the center of gravity of the ball is variable depending on the point.
• the invention takes advantage of this passage from one position to another during the deformation of the bale to create a relative movement between a stimulation element initially disposed at least partially inside the ball and the center of gravity of the ball.
• a relative movement of the same amplitude and the same direction is created between the stimulating element and the person.
• this stimulation element consists of a first part 2 forming a phallic prosthesis, said phallic prosthesis 2 being fixed to an end 3a of a straight rod 3 defining a second part of said element of stimulation, the other end 3b of the rod 3 being hermetically fixed to the inner wall Si of the ball 3 so that the rod 3 bears at least indirectly on the ground or on the surface supporting the ball 1 when the ball
• the end 3b may be glued to the wall Si.
• the membrane of the ball 1 may being clamped between two elements arranged at the end 3b of the rod 3, said elements being screwed together.
• the rod 3 may also not be straight and / or have one or more additional ends hermetically fixed to the inner wall Si and / or to one or more additional phallic prostheses.
• These additional phallic prostheses will advantageously have different directions of relative displacement from that of the phallic prosthesis 2 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 so as to allow several persons to stimulate simultaneously with the stimulation device 10.
• the rod 3 will be aligned with the center of gravity of the ball 1 in its rest position.
• the phallic prosthesis 2 will advantageously be made of plastic, but may also be made of rubber, metal, glass, wood, cork or clay.
• the rod 3 In order to create a rectilinear relative movement between the ball 1 and the phallic prosthesis 2, the rod 3 must be guided in translation during the transition from the rest position to the deformed position of the ball. This guidance is effected in the configuration represented by means of a lower opening 6 through which the rod 3 slides, said lower opening 6 being formed in a lower end wall 4b of a substantially cylindrical receptacle 4 disposed in the interior space E in t so as to contain at least partially the phallic prosthesis 2.
• the upper end 4a of the receptacle 4 is hermetically attached to the inner wall Si and has an upper opening 5 allowing passage of the phallic prosthesis when it performs its relative movement with respect to the ball 1.
• a corresponding opening will also be provided in the membrane constituting the ball 1, in the extension of the opening 5, so that at least a portion of the phallic prosthesis 2 protrudes from the outer wall Se of the ball 1 in the deformed position of the ball 1.
• a possible technical solution for sealing the receptacle 4 to the ball 1 would include sticking the end 4a of the receptacle 4 to the wall Si of the ball 1 or pinching the membrane of the ball 1 between two elements arranged at the end 4a, said elements being screwed together.
• a sealing element 7, of the radial sealing ring type is disposed between the rod 3 and the side walls of the receptacle 4 so as to prevent fluid transfer between a pressurized chamber 8a of the space internal E int of the ball 1 and an inner cavity 8b of the receptacle 4 which extends between the ends 4a and 4b of the receptacle 4 and which is in fluid communication with the outside space E ex t through the opening 5.
• the pressurized chamber 8a may in particular be filled with a fluid, in particular a gas, whose pressure will be greater than 1 bar, and preferably substantially equal to 1, 2 bar.
• the sealed element ITE 7 is a lip seal or gasket SPI.
• this sealing element 7 is integral with the rod 3.
• this sealing element 7 can be made integral with the receptacle 4, in particular at its level. end 4b.
• This sealing element 7 associated with the hermetic connection of the end 3b of the rod 3 and the end 4a of the receptacle 4 to the inner wall Si of the ball 1 will prevent fluid transfer between the interior space Ej n t and the outside space E ex t , thus allowing the ball 1 to keep its substantially spherical shape in its rest position without the user having to inflate the ball 1.
• the ball 1 will advantageously be equipped with a filling valve on its periphery.
• the stimulation device 10 makes it possible to progressively pass the phallic prosthesis 2 from a retracted position as represented in FIG. 1, in which the major part of the phallic prosthesis 2 is inside the bullet 1 at a protruding position as shown in Figure 2, in which the major part of the phallic prosthesis 2 is outside the ball 1.
• the rod 3 and / or the receptacle 4 in particular their length, it will be possible to modify a ratio Rv, whether in the retracted position or in the projecting position of the phallic prosthesis 2, the ratio Rv being defined by the formula:
• Rv (Volume of the first part 2 of the stimulation element positioned in the outer space E ex t) / (Total volume of said first part 2).
• the ratio Rv goes from a zero value in the retracted position of the phallic prosthesis 2 to a value equal to 1 in the projecting position of the phallic prosthesis 2. It is clear that other values of Rv could be considered.
• the ratio Rv may be between 0 and 0.5 in the retracted position of the phallic prosthesis 2 and between 0.5 and 1 in the protruding position of the phallic prosthesis 2.
• the stimulation element comprises a tube 13 in place of the rod 3, said tube 13 having a lower end 13b hermetically fixed to the inner wall Si of the ball 1 and an upper end 13a attached to the phallic prosthesis 2.
• the tube 13 will be advantageously aligned with the center of gravity of the ball 1 in the rest position of the ball 1.
• the receptacle 4 will have a lower opening 6 wider than in the previous configuration so as to allow the passage of the tube 3.
• the second part 23 of the stimulation element is integral with the first part 2 and forms with it a large phallic prosthesis.
• This second portion 23 may be attached to the inner wall Si of the ball 1 at its lower end, as shown in Figure 4, be free or be attached to another support. In the latter two cases, the stimulation element will be independent of the ball 1.
• the receptacle 4 is also configured to fully accommodate the second part 23. As a result, the lower end 4b of the receptacle 4 is positioned at the level of the inner wall Si of the ball 1 and is hermetically attached thereto. Thus, in this configuration, the receptacle 4 rests at its two ends 4a and 4b on the inner wall Si of the bale 1.
• a rigid or non-collapsible receptacle as this would prevent the deformation of the ball 1 under the effect of the weight of the user. It is therefore necessary to use a receptacle 4 which can deform at least in an axial direction D aligned with the ends 4a and 4b of the receptacle 4 so that the distance between said ends 4a, 4b decreases when the ball 1 passes from its rest position to its deformed position.
• the aforementioned axial direction D will preferably be parallel to the direction of displacement D 'of the stimulation element 2, 23 with respect to the center of gravity of the ball 1 when the ball 1 moves from its rest position to its deformed position.
• this deformation is obtained by equipping the receptacle 4 of side walls 14 adapted to fold on themselves in the manner of a bellows.
• the side walls 14 will advantageously be equipped with lateral folds arranged in planes perpendicular to the aforementioned axial direction D.
• the user will simply position the ball 1 so that the phallic prosthesis is substantially aligned with the axial direction D and is fully introduced within the internal cavity 8b formed inside the receptacle 4, said internal cavity 8b defining a non-pressurized chamber, or at atmospheric pressure, which is hermetically separated from the pressurized chamber 8a defined by the inner wall Si of the ball 1 and by the side walls 14 of the receptacle 4.
• the foldable receptacle of the stimulation device shown in FIG. 4 will be replaced by a receptacle whose side walls will be formed of one or more elastic membranes integral with one another, said receptacle being in the form of form of a substantially ovoid balloon in the rest position of the ball 1 and in the form of a substantially spherical balloon in the deformed position of the ball 1.
• This balloon will be hollow and will have an upper opening 5 at its upper end 4a and a lower opening 6 at its lower end 4b, said upper and lower ends being hermetically fixed to the inner wall Si of the ball 1.
• the side walls of the balloon will be advantageously stiffened by various techniques.
• One possible solution will include adapting the thickness of the elastic membrane (s) forming the side walls to the pressure exerted by the pressurized chamber 8a.
• Another possible solution, as shown in FIG. 5, will be to fasten said one or more side walls 24 of the balloon 4 to a flexible armature 25 consisting of inflatable tubes, the pressure inside the tubes being comprised of preferably between 2 and 3 bar.
• Another possible solution will also be to form the side walls of the balloon by means of at least two elastic membranes, respectively an outer membrane and an inner membrane, said inner membrane being concentric and spaced from said outer membrane by multiple connection son, said inner and outer membranes defining between them a closed space filled with a fluid under pressure, the pressure of the fluid being greater than 1 bar.
