Description

Massage toy with two independent drives

The invention relates to a massage toy comprising a main body and a prime mover in the main body for vibrating the main body by means of a first predetermined primary vibration profile. Furthermore, the invention relates to a manufacturing method for such a massage toy and the use of such massage toys.

Massage toys of the type mentioned are known in the art in many embodiments. Basically, passive and active toys are differentiated, the passive toys are usually referred to as a dildo and the active, especially motor-driven toys are referred to as vibrators. The vibrators usually have a battery or a battery and at least one motor that drives an imbalance, so that a body of the toy or a portion of this is vibrated and can be used for stimulation or massage.

Such massage toys are known for example from US 3,991,751 and US 4,377,692. These are devices substantially replicated in shape and shape of a male member having means for generating mechanical vibrations incorporated therein. In these massage toys, the means for generating mechanical vibrations typically have an electric motor on whose Axle is attached to a vibrating element with imbalance. As a result, a vibration is generated during rotation of the electric motor, which is generally orthogonal to the longitudinal extent of the housing, since the axis of the electric motor is arranged parallel to the housing axis. In the case of known massage toys oscillations of relatively high frequency and with a small stroke are generated.

There is still the need to develop such massage toys to the effect that with them an even more pleasant and effective as well as exciting massage can be done.

The object is achieved in a massage toy of the type mentioned by the features of claim 1, namely in particular by a secondary body, which extends laterally away from the main body, and a secondary drive in the secondary body for moving the secondary body in vibration by means a second predetermined secondary vibration profile, wherein the predetermined primary vibration profile and the predetermined secondary vibration profile are selectable by an operator from a plurality of predetermined vibration profiles, and wherein the auxiliary body has a central portion and two substantially oppositely disposed thin-walled wings extending laterally therefrom ,

The invention makes use of the knowledge that by providing a secondary body that extends away from the main body and has its own secondary drive, an even more pleasant and versatile massage can take place. According to the invention it is provided that the primary drive in the main body vibrates the main body by the primary drive drives this with a predetermined primary vibration profile, and the secondary body is set by means of its own, separate secondary drive with a predetermined secondary vibration profile in vibration. The vibration profiles are selectable by an operator from a plurality of predetermined vibration profiles. A vibration profile preferably comprises a multiplicity of successive identical vibration sequences, which are formed from a plurality of individual vibrations with the same or different frequency and the same or different amplitude. Preferably, the primary vibration profile and the secondary vibration profile can be freely selected by the operator.

In the central portion of the secondary body, the secondary drive is preferably provided, which sets the secondary body in vibration. The wings extend laterally away from the sub-body and preferably define a plane that is approximately parallel to a central axis of the main body, that is, the wings are preferably formed symmetrically with respect to a central axis of the main body. For example, such wings may be used when the main body is inserted into a female genital organ to abut labs for massaging. Due to the thin walls of the wings they are flexible and are particularly suitable for massage.

The massage toy preferably has storage means on which the plurality of predetermined primary oscillation profiles and the plurality of predetermined secondary oscillation profiles are stored retrievably.

The main body forms the main body of the massage toy and is designed for example for support or introduction into a female genital organ, and / or designed for the conditioning or recording of a male genital organ. The main body may have any shape, such as substantially cylindrical, modeled after a male member, spherical, annular, S-shaped, T-shaped, U-shaped and the like. The sub-body extends laterally from the main body and has an equal or smaller size than the main body.

According to a first preferred embodiment, the primary vibration profile of a first plurality of primary vibration profiles and the secondary vibration profile of a second plurality of secondary vibration profiles can be selected. Accordingly, a first plurality of primary oscillation profiles is provided for the primary oscillation profile and is preferably stored on a storage means within the massage toy, and a second plurality of secondary oscillation profiles is provided for selecting the secondary oscillation profile, which likewise preferably is located on the storage means within the storage device Massage toys is stored. The number of primary vibration profiles and the number of secondary vibration profiles may be the same or different. Since the main body is used differently in use than the sub-body, for example, the main body is inserted into a female sexual organ, while the sub-body externally on the body, for example in the region of the clitoris, it is preferable to provide different vibration profiles, respectively are adapted to the use for the corresponding body, main body or secondary body. It is preferred that the plurality of primary vibration profiles and the plurality of secondary vibration profiles are matched to one another. In particular, the secondary vibration profile is a multiple of the primary vibration profile. Particularly preferably, the secondary oscillation profile is an integer multiple of the primary oscillation profile. It has been shown that when the vibration profiles are matched, a particularly pleasant massage can be achieved. If the vibration profiles are not matched to each other, but the main and secondary bodies vibrate rhythmically, this is perceived as unpleasant and stressful. The vibration profiles are matched to one another, for example, if the secondary vibration profile has a double frequency of the primary vibration profile. In such an embodiment, the main body vibrates in a quiet vibration while the sub-body oscillates in a slightly increased vibration. Under coordinated with each other is also understood that the vibration profiles of the primary and the secondary drive are designed so that they oscillate in phase and are not out of phase. This also makes a particularly pleasant suggestion is achieved.

In a further preferred embodiment, the plurality of primary vibration profiles and / or the plurality of secondary vibration profiles has at least one vibration profile which is not contained in the other plurality of vibration profiles. The plurality of primary vibration profiles and the plurality of secondary vibration profiles are preferably at least partially disjoint, preferably completely disjoint. It is preferably provided that a certain small number of vibration profiles are present in both quantities, for example two, three, four or five vibration profiles. There may be applications in which it is preferred that the primary and secondary drive with the same vibration profile drive the respective bodies. However, it is also preferred that two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine or ten vibration profiles are not present in both pluralities, so that the prime mover and the secondary drive perform different, coordinated vibration profiles. According to a further preferred embodiment, at least one pairing of a primary vibration profile with a secondary vibration profile is predetermined. Such a pairing may for example be an initial pairing when the massage toy is first started or it may also be invoked after each start. Such a pairing is preferably a pairing that is perceived as particularly pleasant, whereby the secondary oscillation profile and the primary Vibration profile are different. In addition, it is conceivable that compulsory pairings are provided if, for example, a primary oscillation profile is to be executed only together with a specific secondary oscillation profile.

In a preferred embodiment, it is provided that the primary vibration profile generally has higher amplitudes than the secondary vibration profile. Preferably, the averaged amplitudes of the primary vibration profile are higher than the average amplitudes of the secondary vibration profile. The primary vibration profile is used to excite the main body while the secondary vibration profile is used to excite the minor body. Therefore, it is preferred if the main body oscillates a little more intensively, ie with a higher amplitude than the secondary body.

Furthermore, it is preferably provided that the primary vibration profile generally has lower frequencies than the secondary vibration profile. Preferably, the averaged frequencies of the primary vibration profile are lower than the averaged frequencies of the secondary vibration profile. That is, the main body oscillates slower than the secondary body and thus quiet. This, it turns out, is perceived as particularly pleasant.

According to a particularly preferred embodiment, the primary drive is designed as a Pu Isatorantrieb. Preferably, the secondary drive is designed as a vibrator drive. A Pu Isator drive is described in European patent EP 2 320 850 B1, the contents of which are fully incorporated herein by reference. The drive preferably has electromechanical means for generating mechanical vibrations, which have at least one coil element and at least one parallel or coaxial to the coil element arranged displaceably guided ferromag netic core for generating mechanical vibrations. The magnetic field is generated by the coil, and the ferromagnetic core is moved back and forth along the coil axis, causing the primary body to vibrate. The core preferably has a mass M1 whose mass ratio M1: M2 to the total mass M2 of the massaging toy is in a range from 1: 100 to 1: 3. As a result, a particularly pleasant massage is achieved. While the main body is driven in a pulsating manner by the means for generating mechanical oscillations, comprising at least one coil element and at least one ferromagnetic core arranged parallel or coaxial to the coil element, it is preferred that the secondary body is driven by a vibrator drive, ie vibrates smoothly and agreeably , As a result, a particularly effective and pleasant massage is achieved. According to a further preferred development, the massage toy has a handle which is arranged on the primary body and has at least one selection switch for selecting the primary oscillation profile and / or secondary oscillation profile. Preferably, a separate selector switch is provided both for the selection of the primary vibration profile and for the selection of the secondary vibration profile. By way of example, the selector switch can be designed in such a way that, by pressing it, a respective next vibration profile from the corresponding plurality of vibration profiles is called up. For example, five primary vibration profiles are provided in the plurality of primary vibration profiles. When the selector switch is pressed, the first oscillation profile is now called, and the prime mover excites the main body with the first primary oscillation profile. When the selector is pressed again, the second primary oscillation profile is called up, when pressed again the third primary oscillation profile and so on. After all oscillation profiles have been called up, pressing the selector switch returns to the first primary oscillation profile. As a result, a particularly simple operation is possible.

In a preferred embodiment, in which a primary selector switch for the primary drive and a secondary selector switch for the secondary drive is provided, the primary selector switch and the secondary selector switch are haptically distinguishable. The massage toy is not always in the operator's field of vision during operation and / or is used in darkened rooms. Therefore, it is particularly preferable that the primary selector switch and the secondary selector switch are haptically distinguishable. As a result, an intuitive and easy operation is achieved.

For example and preferably, the primary selector switch is larger than the secondary selector switch. For example, the primary selector switch has a larger diameter than the secondary selector switch. Alternatively or additionally, the primary selector switch has a greater grandeur than the secondary selector switch. Furthermore, it is conceivable that haptically applied relief-like symbols are used, different surface structures or that the primary selector switch and the secondary selector switch in their outer contour approximately correspond to a contour of the main or secondary body.

According to a further preferred embodiment, the secondary body is integrally formed on the main body. In this case, there is no seam between the main body and the secondary body, such as a splice, joint or the like, but the main body and secondary body are made in one piece and in one piece from a material seamlessly. det. This has on the one hand manufacturing advantages, on the other hand, so the use is more pleasant because seams often have sharp sections or the like, which can be uncomfortable to use.

Preferably, the main body and the sub-body are formed of a silicone material, and a connecting portion between the main body and the sub-body is formed flexible. As a result, the orientation of the secondary body to the main body can be changed, preferably change elastically. This makes the use even more enjoyable, and the massage toy adapts to the body of the user. That The secondary body can be folded over in the direction of the handle or pushed down to the main body, without damaging the toy. A lateral pivoting or twisting is possible.

In a preferred embodiment, the main body is substantially rod-shaped and the sub-body extends obliquely away therefrom. This achieves a particularly pleasant configuration. The secondary body preferably also has an essentially rod-shaped basic configuration. Preferably, an angle between the main body and the sub body is about 45 °. It has been shown that in this way a particularly good massage can be achieved and a diverse use of the massage toy can be achieved.

It is preferable, for example, that the secondary body has a length in a range of 2 to 6 cm, preferably 3 to 5 cm, particularly preferably 3.5 to 4.5 cm, preferably the secondary body has a length in relation to the length of the main body a range of 1/3, preferably about 1/2. These are conditions that allow both a use of the main body and the secondary body and are perceived by operators to be pleasant in order to achieve a diverse and effective use of the massage toy.

According to a further preferred embodiment wing tips of the wings in operation perform a larger stroke than the central portion. While the central section itself vibrates, the wings are also vibrated, with the wing tips making a larger stroke. As a result, the wings, which are in particular passive, also vibrate and preferably massage laterally adjacent to the female genitals sections of the body. The massage is particularly pleasant. It is further preferred that the wings have a span greater than a diameter of the main body. This results in a wing size that is perceived as comfortable and can cover a sufficient portion of the body.

A massage toy 1 has a main body 2 and a sub body 4. The sub-body 4 is integrally formed on the main body 2, and both are formed as a whole silicone shell. The main body 2 has a substantially rod-shaped configuration with a central axis A. The secondary body also has a substantially rod-shaped configuration with a central axis B. An angle between these central axes A and B is about 45 °. On the main body 2, a handle 6 is further arranged. The handle 6 has an operating unit 8, by means of which the massage toy 1 can be operated. The massage toy 1 has a prime mover 10 (see Figures 4-7) in the main body 2 for offsetting the main body 2 by means of a first predetermined primary vibration profile (see Figures 7-9). Further, the massage toy 1 has a secondary drive 12 in the sub-body 4 for vibrating the sub-body 4 by means of a second predetermined secondary vibration profile (see Fig. 7-9). The operating unit 8 has a primary selector switch 14 and a secondary selector switch 16, by means of which the primary drive 10 and the secondary drive 12 are operable to a predetermined primary oscillation profile or a predetermined secondary oscillatory profile of a plurality of predetermined primary and Select secondary vibration profiles. This will be explained in more detail with reference to FIGS. 7, 8 and 9.

2 and 3 show a second embodiment of the massage toy 1. The same and similar elements are provided with the same reference numerals, and insofar is fully to the above description to Fig. 1 reference.

The massage toy 1 according to the second embodiment (FIGS. 2 and 3) also has a main body 2 and a secondary body 4. The main body 2 is formed in this embodiment substantially rod-shaped and has a central axis A. However, other forms, such as a spherical shape, are equally conceivable and preferred. The secondary body 4 has a substantially stabformigen central portion 18 which has a central axis B. The two axes A and B include approximately a 45 ° angle between them.

The main body 2 and the sub-body 4 are integrally formed with each other and are formed as a whole silicone body. They define inside a first and a second cavity, wherein the first cavity in the main body 2 and the second cavity in the secondary body 4 is formed (not shown in the figures). In the main body 2, in turn, a handle 6 is arranged, on which an operating unit 8 is formed.

The handle 6 is coupled to a connecting portion 20 with the main body 2 and fixedly connected thereto. At a lower portion of the handle 6, a contact 22 is further provided, by means of which an internal battery (see Fig .. 4 and 6) is chargeable. The sub-body 4 is flexibly coupled to the main body 2 with a connecting portion 24, that is, the orientation of the axis B in relation to the axis A is flexible and elastically changeable; the sub-body 4 is bendable, for example, with respect to FIG. 2 downwards or upwards, without causing damage. For example, the secondary body 4 can be folded over in the direction of the handle 6 or also be pressed flexibly and elastically to the main body 2. A lateral pivoting or twisting is possible.

The secondary body 4 also has two wings 26, 28 (see Fig. 3). The wings 26, 28 extend from the central portion 18 and are formed symmetrically to each other. They extend in a plane which is perpendicular to a plane defining the central axes A and B. The tips 30, 32 are offset with respect to the connecting portion 24 to the tip 34 of the secondary body 4 out and about 2/3 of the axial length of the wings 26, 28 are arranged. This assists that in operation, the wing tips 30, 32 perform a greater stroke than the tip 34 of the secondary body 4. The span SP of the wings 26, 28 is slightly larger than the diameter D of the main body 2. The span SP is in this Embodiment about 5.5 cm, while the axial length of the secondary body according to this embodiment in about 4.5 cm from the connecting portion 24 to the tip 34 includes. This also supports that the wing tips 30, 32 perform a larger stroke during operation than the tip 34 of the secondary body. 4

The operating unit 8 also has a primary selector switch 14 and a secondary selector switch 16 in this exemplary embodiment. The primary selector switch 14 has a protrusion 15 having a first diameter, and the secondary selector switch 16 has a protrusion 17 having a second diameter. The diameter of the survey 15 is greater than the diameter of the survey 17 and tactile tactile. This allows intuitive operation. Furthermore, the operating unit 8 comprises a main switch 19, which can be used both for switching on and off the massage toy 1 as well as for the selection of certain operating settings.

A primary drive 10 is disposed in the main body 2 (see Figures 5-6), and a secondary drive 12 is disposed in the sub-body 4 (see Figures 4-6). The primary drive 10 is formed according to the second embodiment (Fig. 2-6) as a pulsator, while the secondary drive 12 is designed as a vibrator drive. In contrast, in the first embodiment (see Fig. 1), the prime mover 10 is also formed as a vibrator drive. An interior view of the embodiment of FIG. 1 is not shown, but the structure is identical to FIGS. 4 to 6, with the difference that instead of the Pulsatorantriebs 10 a vibrator drive, as is well known in the art, is used.

FIGS. 4 to 6 illustrate the internal structure of the massage toy 1 according to FIGS. 2 to 6. The massage toy has a cage 40. The cage 40 has a nozzle 42 which receives the primary drive 10 inside. Further, the cage 40 has a handle portion 44 which receives the electronic power supply 46 and a control unit 48. The power supply 46 has according to this embodiment, a battery 50 which is rechargeable via the electrical connection 22. The battery 50 is coupled to the control unit 48, which in turn is connected via an electrical connection 52 to the secondary drive 12 and is connected via an electrical connection 54 to the prime mover 10. The control unit 48 has contact means for the selector switches 14, 16 and the main switch 19. Furthermore, the control unit 48 has storage means for storing a plurality of predetermined primary vibration profiles and a plurality of predetermined secondary vibration profiles (compare FIGS. 7-9). By operating the selector switches 14, 16, the individual predetermined vibration profiles of the plurality 100, 102 predetermined vibration profiles can be retrieved, and the control unit 48 controls the prime mover 10 and the secondary drive 12 according to these predetermined vibration profiles. The primary drive 10 is designed according to this embodiment (Fig. 2-6) as a pulsator and has means 56 for generating mechanical vibrations. These means 56 comprise a coil element 58, which is arranged around a tubular body 60 around. The tubular body 60 is formed of cardboard, for example. Within the tubular body 60, a ferromagnetic core 62 is slidably disposed so as to reciprocate along its central axis C between a lower stop 64 and an upper stop 66. The two stops 64, 66 are formed as caps which close the tubular body 60. In the caps stop magnets 68, 69 are provided, which are polarized differently according to their facing end faces of the ferromagnetic core 62, so that the ferromagnetic core 62 does not come into contact with the stops 64, 66. This prevents noise during operation. By applying a voltage to the coil element 58, the ferromagnetic core 62 can be reciprocated. The secondary drive 12 is designed as a conventional vibrator drive with a motor and an imbalance and arranged in a housing 70. The housing 70 is cylindrical and provides for the secondary body 4 a certain dimensional stability. The housing 70 is designed such that a good vibration coupling of the secondary drive 12 to the secondary body 4 is possible. Characterized in that the secondary drive 12 is coupled exclusively via the electrical line 52 to the control unit 48 and thus to the cage 40, the secondary body 4 is flexible and elastically movable.

In a production of the massage toy 1 according to this embodiment, the silicone body comprising the main body 2 and the secondary body 4 is first formed, and then the secondary drive 12 is first inserted into a corresponding second cavity within the secondary body 4 and then the prime mover 10 in a first cavity is inserted in the main body 2. Subsequently, the silicone body is glued to a flange portion 72 of the cage 40, so as to complete fluid-tight. Finally, the cap 74, which forms the outer portion of the handle 8, placed on the lower portion 44 of the cage 40 and locked there.

With reference to FIGS. 7-9, the operation of the massage toy 1 according to the invention with the predetermined primary vibration profile and the predetermined secondary vibration profile will now be explained. 7 shows first a schematic view of a first plurality 100 of predetermined primary vibration profiles 104a, 104b, 104c, 104d, 104e, 104f, 104g. Furthermore, a second plurality 102 of predetermined secondary vibration profiles 106a, 106b, 106c, 106d, 106e, 106f, 106g are shown. In this embodiment (Figure 7), both the first plurality 100 and the second plurality 102 have seven predetermined vibration profiles arranged in an order. By pressing the primary selector switch 14 is first changed from the vibration profile 104a on the vibration profile 104b. When the primary selector switch 14 is pressed again, oscillation profile 104c is changed. The vibration profiles 104a-104g and 106a-106g are matched to one another and identical overall. That is, when the prime mover is operated with a predetermined vibration profile 104 c and the secondary drive 12 is also operated with a predetermined vibration profile 106 c, the two drives 10, 12 are operated with the same vibration profile, and the main body 2 and the sub body 4 with the same vibration profile 104c, 106c excited.

Individual vibration profiles are shown by way of example in FIGS. 8a-8c. In Fig. 8a a vibration profile is shown, which corresponds to a normal cosine wave. The Vibration profile 108 has a sequence Si that is repeated to form the vibration profile 108. Sequence Si is repeated as long as the selector switch 14, 16 is not pressed again. The vibration profile 108 can be used both as a primary vibration profile or as a secondary vibration profile. A second oscillation profile 110 is shown in FIG. 8b. The oscillation profile 110 according to FIG. 8b has variable amplitudes and variable frequencies. A sequence S ₂ is drawn in and initially starts with higher frequency and lower amplitude and after four oscillations has a maximum with a high amplitude and a lower frequency. The sequence S ₂ is also repeated to form the oscillation profile 110.

Something similar also applies to the vibration profile 1 12 according to FIG. 8c. The oscillation profile according to FIG. 8c has a wave which has a constant amplitude but an increased frequency in a middle section. The sequence S ₃ is also drawn in and is repeated to form the vibration profile 1 12. The sequence S ₃ is twice as long as the sequence S ₂ . The two vibration profiles 1 10, 1 12 are coordinated. For example, it is preferable to use the vibration profile 110 as the primary vibration profile and the vibration profile 112 as the secondary vibration profile. When this is done, it is preferred that these phases be aligned the same, such that the sequence S ₂ begins at the same time as sequence S ₃ . In the time in which a sequence S _{3 is} traversed, two sequences S ₂ are thereby run through, so that the section with the increased frequency according to the vibration profile 1 12 takes place approximately at the same time as a second peak at a vibration profile 110. As a result, a particularly pleasant and effective massage is achieved.

Preferably, such primary and secondary vibration profiles 1 14, 1 16 are provided, which differ only slightly in their frequency. If such vibration profiles are selected, it is possible to achieve a beating effect for the toy. This also makes a particularly experience-intensive massage is achieved.

Another embodiment for the operation is shown in FIG. The first plurality 100 includes nine predetermined primary vibration profiles 1 14a-1 14i, and the second plurality 102 includes six predetermined secondary vibration profiles 16a-16f. Schematically represented is also the primary selector switch 14 and the secondary selector switch 16. By means of the primary selector switch, the primary vibration profile for the prime mover (in Fig. 9 Pulsatorantrieb) and with the secondary selector switch 16 is the Secondary vibration profile for the secondary drive (in Fig. 9 vibrator drive) selected. If the massage toy 1 is switched on by means of the main switch 19, which is likewise shown in FIG. 9, the primary oscillation profile 1 14d and the secondary oscillation profile 16c are first selected from the storage medium in a preselected setting, and the primary drive 10 sets the main body 2 in vibration by means of the predetermined primary vibration profile 1 14d. The secondary drive 12 sets the secondary body 4 in vibration with the predetermined secondary vibration profile 1 16c. Now, when an operator presses the primary selector switch 14, the predetermined primary vibration profile 1 14e is selected for the primary drive 10, while the secondary drive 12 is further operated with the predetermined secondary vibration profile 1 16c. If then also the secondary selector switch 16 is pressed, this oscillation profile also changes towards the secondary oscillation profile 16d. This also applies to all other vibration profiles, as indicated by the arrows connecting the individual vibration profiles. The plurality 100 and the plurality 102 are not completely disjoint. The primary vibration profile 1 14e is also included as a secondary vibration profile 1 16b in the plurality 102; Similarly, the primary vibration profile 1 14i is included as a secondary vibration profile 1 16f in the second plurality 102. The remaining vibration profiles are not included in the other plurality 100, 102, respectively. All vibration profiles 1 14a-1 14i of the first plurality 100 are matched to the secondary vibration profiles 1 16a-1 16f of the second plurality 102.

Preferably, the control unit 48 is designed so that a pair of primary and secondary vibration profiles, which is selected after the start of the massage toy 1, can be selected by an operator. If an operator has selected a combination of primary and secondary vibration profiles 1 14a-1 14i, 16a-1 16f by means of the primary selector switch 14 and secondary selector switch 16, this combination can be stored and retrieved the next time the massage toy 1 is started become. The storage is preferably carried out by pressing a specific switch 14, 16, 19, a combination of these or by a specific pressing duration. It is preferably provided that, for storing a combination of primary and secondary vibration profiles 1 14a-1 14i, 16a-16f, the main switch 19 is pressed for a long time, for example for three seconds.
