BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to a new and improved sexual aid and, more particularly, pertains to increasing stimulation during sexual acts.

2. Description of the Prior Art

The use of sexual aids of known designs and configurations is known in the prior art. More specifically, sexual aids of known designs and configurations heretofore devised and utilized for the purpose of increasing sexual stimulation through known methods and apparatuses are known to consist basically of familiar, expected, and obvious structural configurations, notwithstanding the myriad of designs encompassed by the crowded prior art which has been developed for the fulfillment of countless objectives and requirements.

In this respect, the sexual aid according to the present invention substantially departs from the conventional concepts and designs of the prior art, and in doing so provides an apparatus primarily developed for the purpose of increasing stimulation during sexual acts as a result of the sexual aid comprising the present invention being fabricated of a generally lubricous glass-based material of borosilicate glass.

Therefore, it can be appreciated that there exists a continuing need for a new and improved sexual aid which can be used for increasing stimulation during sexual acts. In this regard, the present invention substantially fulfills this need.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

In view of the foregoing disadvantages inherent in the known types of sexual aids of known designs and configurations now present in the prior art, the present invention provides a new and improved sexual aid. As such, the general purpose of the present invention, which will be described subsequently in greater detail, is to provide a new and improved sexual aid and methods which have all the advantages of the prior art and none of the disadvantages.

To attain this, the present invention essentially comprises a new and improved sexual aid for increasing stimulation during sex acts. The sexual aid includes a body. The body is annealed for strength and durability.

A sexual aid comprising the present invention is fabricated of a generally lubricous glass-based material of borosilicate glass providing enhanced lubricity, sterilization and temperature stability.

There has thus been outlined, rather broadly, the more important features of the invention in order that the detailed description thereof that follows may be better understood and in order that the present contribution to the art may be better appreciated. There are, of course, additional features of the invention that will be described hereinafter and which will form the subject matter of the claims appended hereto.

In this respect, before explaining at least one embodiment of the invention in detail, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited in its application to the details of construction and to the arrangements of the components set forth in the following description or illustrated in the drawings. The invention is capable of other embodiments and of being practiced and carried out in various ways. Also, it is to be understood that the phraseology and terminology employed herein are for the purpose of descriptions and should not be regarded as limiting.

As such, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the conception, upon which this disclosure is based, may readily be utilized as a basis for the designing of other structures, methods and systems for carrying out the several purposes of the present invention. It is important, therefore, that the claims be regarded as including such equivalent constructions insofar as they do not depart from the spirit and scope of the present invention.

It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a new and improved sexual aid which has all the advantages of the prior art sexual aids of known designs and configurations and none of the disadvantages.

It is another object of the present invention to provide a new and improved sexual aid which may be easily and efficiently manufactured and marketed.

It is a further object of the present invention to provide a new and improved sexual aid which is of a durable and reliable construction.

It is yet a further object of the present invention to provide a new and improved sexual aid which may be readily sterilized for improved sanitation.

An even further object of the present invention is to provide a new and improved sexual aid which is susceptible of a low cost of manufacture with regard to both materials and labor, and which accordingly is then susceptible of low prices of sale to the consuming public, thereby making such a sexual aid economically available to the buying public.

Even still another object of the present invention is to increase stimulation during sexual acts.

Lastly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a sexual aid comprising a body fabricated of a generally lubricous glass-based material of borosilicate glass that has been annealed for strength and durability.

These together with other objects of the invention, along with the various features of novelty which characterize the invention, are pointed out with particularity in the claims annexed to and forming a part of this disclosure. For a better understanding of the invention, its operating advantages and the specific objects attained by its uses, reference should be had to the accompanying drawings and descriptive matter in which there is illustrated preferred embodiments of the invention.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

The invention will be better understood and objects other than those set forth above will become apparent when consideration is given to the following detailed description thereof. Such description makes reference to the annexed drawings wherein: [0021]
FIG. 1 is a perspective illustration of the preferred embodiment of the sex aid constructed in accordance with the principles of the present invention.[0022]
The same reference numerals refer to the same parts throughout the various Figures. [0023]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

With reference now to the drawings, and in particular to FIG. 1 thereof, the preferred embodiment of the new and improved sexual aid embodying the principles and concepts of the present invention and generally designated by the [0024] reference numeral 10 will be described.
The present invention, the new and improved sexual aid, in its broadest context, includes a [0025] body 10. The body is specifically configured and correlated one with respect to the other so as to attain the desired objectives.
The first component of the new and improved sexual aid for increasing stimulation during sexual acts is the [0026] body 10. The body has a three dimensional shape. The body is flame fire annealed or oven annealed.
All components of the sexual aid are fabricated of a generally lubricous glass-based material. This glass-based material contains an appreciable amount of an oxide of boron to render it lubricious and resistant to heat, chemicals, electricity and bacterial absorption. [0027]
Preferably, the present invention is formed of borosilicate glass. [0028]
The body comprising the present invention is annealed after forming into a desired shape thereby making it very strong and resistant to breakage. When used internally it is insulated and protected by flesh. So long as the surface integrity is maintained, the present invention is unbreakable during normal use. [0029]
The body comprising the present invention will last a lifetime when formed of borosilicate glass. The sexual aid comprising the present invention will maintain its clarity and glossy non-porous finish for hundreds of years with minimal care. [0030]
Sexual aids formed of non-borosilicate glass materials commonly break, decompose, discolor or have a foul odor after a short period of usage. The sexual aid comprising the present invention formed of borosilicate glass will not leach harmful toxins into a user's body. Commonly, sexual aids are formed of rubber, acrylic, plastic and latex and, therefore, leach dangerous toxins into the body of the user and are therefore sold uniformly only as novelties to avoid legal liability. [0031]
The present invention being formed of borosilicate glass and further being annealed has no seams, rough edges or pockets that would result in scratching or irritating human tissue or holding bacteria, viruses or other germs when properly cleaned. [0032]
The present invention is the only sexual aid that uses non-porous borosilicate glass to form the body thereof. Accordingly, when the body of the present invention is coated with a lubricant, none of the lubricant is absorbed by the sex aid. Consequently, the sex aid has a high degree of lubricity that lasts a long time with respect to human tissue normally associated with a user. [0033]
Further, in as much as the present invention's body is formed of borosilicate glass, when it is warmed or cooled for enhanced pleasure by the user, it retains its current temperature when placed within a user's body unlike conventional sexual aid bodies. Additionally, the use of borosilicate glass as the body of the sexual aid allows for complete sterilization thereof. The sex aid comprising the present invention may be boiled, autoclaved or cycled through a dishwasher for the cleaning thereof. [0034]
The body of the present invention may be used with water and oil-based lubricants. Unlike conventional water-based lubricants used to protect latex condoms which become sticky when used on rubber-like devices, the present invention provides smooth contact with human tissues. The sex aid comprising the present invention formed of borosilicate glass attracts and holds conventional lubricants on the surface of the sex aid in a uniform surface film. Inasmuch as borosilicate glass is non-porous the sex aid keeps a user better lubricated over a longer period of time. Sex aid devices formed of rubber, plastic, acrylic or metal that are intended for insertion into a human body repel water based lubricants thereby necessitating frequent re-wetting and relubricating the sex aid to prevent tissue tears and infections. [0035]
The arrangement of components and materials renders the present invention very suitable for mass production. [0036]
As to the manner of usage and operation of the present invention, the same should be apparent from the above description. Accordingly, no further discussion relating to the manner of usage and operation will be provided. [0037]
With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized that the optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of the invention, to include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function and manner of operation, assembly and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are intended to be encompassed by the present invention. [0038]
Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the invention. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the invention to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the invention. [0039]
