Definitions
- the present invention relates to a stimulation device with extension for erogenous zones, in particular for the clitoris, a system with a stimulation device, and methods for stimulating body parts.
- the erogenous zones of the human body can be stimulated with a variety of aids.
- vibrators are used to exert a stimulus on a specific skin area by direct contact.
- These include stimulants for introduction into the human body, such as dildos.
- the direct stimulation of the clitoris is often problematic.
- the clitoris is usually the most sensitive erogenous zone.
- the entire clitoris is heavily endowed with nerve endings, making it particularly sensitive to touch and susceptible to sexual stimuli.
- the clitoris sickle in which the nerve cords of the two thighs meet, should be emphasized.
- frequent application of a laying vibrator for direct stimulation leads to habituation effects or to conditioning of the stimulated erogenous zone, while on the other hand the initial applications of such a device require a certain training or familiarization.
- indirect stimulation of the female erogenous zones may not be sufficient, or it may be desirable to enhance the stimulation effect.
- the sensitivity of the human erogenous zones is individually very different.
- the sensitivity of the corresponding zone can vary greatly from situation to situation or even during a sexual act. It is also often desirable to have fast and strong stimulation of different erogenous zones.
- vacuum devices For indirect stimulation of erogenous zones, and in particular of the clitoris, conventional vacuum devices are used to stimulate the erogenous zones of the subject without direct contact with the main area to be stimulated.
- vacuum pumps for the female primary or secondary genitalia are known, which usually have a suction cup for placement and a hand pump.
- the negative pressure exerted on the clitoris with this type of device creates a negative pressure in the clitoris itself, which is usually lower than the systolic blood pressure.
- This pressure difference leads to an enlargement of the clitoris and / or stimulates blood flow in the affected area.
- This clitoral vascular blood flow serves to stimulate pleasure by increasing the sensitivity as well as the optical and haptic manipulation.
- the disclosed WO 2006/05 82 91 A2 a device for sexual therapy, the assembly consisting of a tubular suction chamber for the clitoris, an electrical vacuum source (vacuum pump) and a plurality of air flow openings.
- an electrical vacuum source vacuum pump
- a continuous air flow or air exchange in the region of the clitoris is generated in the chamber. It is disadvantageously sucked off by the negative pressure increasingly occurring vaginal moisture, which is why a drying effect of the stimulated skin areas occurs.
- the extracted moist air leads to contamination of the fluidically subsequent vacuum arrangement, such as the vacuum pump.
- the device serves the therapy of the blood vessels of the clitoris, and not the stimulation until sexual climax.
- the US Pat. No. 6,464,653 B1 discloses therapeutic devices and methods that produce clitoral flushing by means of a vacuum generated by a vacuum pump to assist in the treatment of clitoral disorders, such as incontinence.
- a control valve or modulator which can be covered with the finger accordingly, the height of the vacuum in the suction chamber is manually adjusted or varied. This requires the user's attention and may be distracting or distracting.
- the devices of the prior art have the common drawback that the complexity of the negative pressure or pressure-generating arrangements can be high and this device can have hygienic problems.
- this device can have hygienic problems.
- the devices of the prior art have the further disadvantage that habituation effects occur with longer-lasting or continuous or frequently recurring applications of suppressions.
- the vacuum must be limited by means of a control valve or a vacuum pump, and second, the vacuum should be relieved by means of a manual opening of a release valve before the suction cup is detached from the skin. If one of the valves has a technical defect and / or the user operates the unit incorrectly, there may be a risk of injury.
- the object underlying the invention is to provide a stimulation device which has a simple structure and is simple and safe to use, and has a strong stimulation effect.
- a pressure field generating device of the stimulation device has at least one first chamber and at least one second chamber with at least one opening for placement on a body part or on the erogenous zone and at least one connecting element which connects the first chamber to the second chamber.

Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Stimulationsvorrichtung mit Fortsatz für erogene Zonen, insbesondere für die Klitoris, ein System mit einer Stimulationsvorrichtung, sowie Verfahren zur Stimulation von Körperteilen.The present invention relates to a stimulation device with extension for erogenous zones, in particular for the clitoris, a system with a stimulation device, and methods for stimulating body parts.
Die erogenen Zonen des menschlichen Körpers können mit einer Vielzahl von Hilfsmitteln stimuliert werden. So werden beispielsweise Vibratoren verwendet, um mittels direkter Berührung einen Reiz auf einen bestimmten Hautbereich auszuüben. Hierzu gehören auch Stimulationsmittel zum Einführen in den menschlichen Körper, wie beispielsweise Dildos.The erogenous zones of the human body can be stimulated with a variety of aids. For example, vibrators are used to exert a stimulus on a specific skin area by direct contact. These include stimulants for introduction into the human body, such as dildos.
Die direkte Stimulation der Klitoris, beispielsweise mit einem Auflegevibrator, ist häufig problembehaftet. So ist bei der Frau die Klitoris üblicherweise die empfindlichste erogene Zone. Die gesamte Klitoris ist stark mit Nervenendungen ausgestattet, womit diese besonders berührungsempfindlich und empfänglich für sexuelle Reize ist. Hier ist insbesondere die Klitoriseichel, in der sich die Nervenstränge der beiden Schenkel treffen, hervorzuheben. So kommt es einerseits bei häufiger Anwendung eines Auflegevibrators zur direkten Stimulation zu Gewöhnungseffekten bzw. zur Konditionierung der stimulierten erogenen Zone, während andererseits die erstmaligen Anwendungen eines derartigen Gerätes eine gewisse Einübung bzw. Eingewöhnung erfordern. Auch kann eine indirekte Stimulation der weiblichen erogenen Zonen nicht ausreichend sein, bzw. kann es gewünscht sein, den Stimulationseffekt zu verstärken.The direct stimulation of the clitoris, for example, with a Auflegevibrator, is often problematic. For example, in women the clitoris is usually the most sensitive erogenous zone. The entire clitoris is heavily endowed with nerve endings, making it particularly sensitive to touch and susceptible to sexual stimuli. Here, in particular, the clitoris sickle, in which the nerve cords of the two thighs meet, should be emphasized. Thus, on the one hand frequent application of a laying vibrator for direct stimulation leads to habituation effects or to conditioning of the stimulated erogenous zone, while on the other hand the initial applications of such a device require a certain training or familiarization. Also, indirect stimulation of the female erogenous zones may not be sufficient, or it may be desirable to enhance the stimulation effect.
Weiter haben im Jahre 2006 durchgeführte medizinische Studien die weibliche Klitoris als maßgeblichen Ausgangspunkt des weiblichen Klimax bestimmt und erstmals die unterschiedlichen Empfindungsqualitäten von klitoralem und vaginalem Orgasmus neurologisch nachgewiesen. So sind sowohl die Klitoris als auch die Vagina zum Orgasmus fähig.In addition, medical studies conducted in 2006 determined the female clitoris as the main starting point of the female climax and for the first time the different sensory qualities of clitoral and vaginal orgasm are neurologically proven. So both the clitoris and the vagina are capable of orgasm.
Dabei ist weiter die Empfindlichkeit der menschlichen erogenen Zonen, beispielsweise der Klitoris, der inneren und äußeren Labia oder der Brustwarzen, individuell sehr unterschiedlich. Auch kann sich die Empfindlichkeit der entsprechenden Zone von Situation zu Situation oder sogar während eines Sexualakts stark verändern. Gewünscht ist weiter häufig eine schnelle und starke Stimulation verschiedener erogener Zonen.Furthermore, the sensitivity of the human erogenous zones, for example the clitoris, the inner and outer Labia or the nipples, is individually very different. Also, the sensitivity of the corresponding zone can vary greatly from situation to situation or even during a sexual act. It is also often desirable to have fast and strong stimulation of different erogenous zones.
Es sind verschiedene direkte und indirekte Stimulationsformen gängige Praxis, wie beispielsweise Vakuumpumpen oder Dildos.There are various direct and indirect forms of stimulation common practice, such as vacuum pumps or dildos.
Zur indirekten Stimulation von erogenen Zonen und insbesondere der Klitoris werden herkömmliche Vakuumvorrichtungen verwendet, um die erogenen Zonen der betreffenden Person ohne direkte Berührung des zu stimulierenden Hauptbereichs zu reizen. So sind beispielsweise Vakuumpumpen für die weiblichen primären oder sekundären Geschlechtsorgane bekannt, welche üblicherweise eine Saugglocke zum Aufsetzen und eine Handpumpe aufweisen. Der mit dieser Art von Vorrichtung beispielsweise auf die Klitoris ausgeübte Unterdruck erzeugt einen negativen Druck in der Klitoris selbst, welcher üblicherweise niedriger ist als der systolische Blutdruck. Dieser Druckunterschied führt zu einer Erweiterung der Klitoris und/oder stimuliert den Blutfluss in dem betroffenen Bereich. Diese klitorale vaskulare Blutwallung dient sowohl der Lustförderung durch Steigerung der Empfindlichkeit als auch der optischen und haptischen Manipulation. Auch führt die bessere Durchblutung zu einem erhöhten Austreten von Scheidenfeuchtigkeit, die die Stimulation angenehmer gestaltet. Jedoch ist die manuelle Betätigung der Handpumpe oft lästig oder störend. Zudem kann es auch bei dieser Gerätekategorie durch die langfristigere bzw. ununterbrochene Anwendung von Unterdruck zu Gewöhnungseffekten kommen, die die Wirksamkeit der Vorrichtung auf Dauer einschränken.For indirect stimulation of erogenous zones, and in particular of the clitoris, conventional vacuum devices are used to stimulate the erogenous zones of the subject without direct contact with the main area to be stimulated. For example, vacuum pumps for the female primary or secondary genitalia are known, which usually have a suction cup for placement and a hand pump. For example, the negative pressure exerted on the clitoris with this type of device creates a negative pressure in the clitoris itself, which is usually lower than the systolic blood pressure. This pressure difference leads to an enlargement of the clitoris and / or stimulates blood flow in the affected area. This clitoral vascular blood flow serves to stimulate pleasure by increasing the sensitivity as well as the optical and haptic manipulation. Also, the better blood flow leads to increased leakage of vaginal moisture, which makes the stimulation more pleasant. However, the manual operation of the hand pump is often annoying or disturbing. In addition, it can also in this device category by the longer term or continuous application of negative pressure to Habituation effects come, which limit the effectiveness of the device in the long run.
Anstelle der manuell betriebenen Vakuumpumpe werden vermehrt auch elektrisch angetriebene Vakuumpumpen verwendet. Als Beispiel hierfür offenbart die
Die
So haben die Vorrichtungen des Stands der Technik den Nachteil gemein, dass die Komplexität der Unterdruck bzw. Überdruck erzeugenden Anordnungen hoch und diese Vorrichtung hygienische Probleme aufweisen können. Zudem besteht das Problem der Handhabbarkeit der Vorrichtungen; wobei diese oftmals haptisch unkomfortabel und/oder gewöhnungsbedürftig sind.Thus, the devices of the prior art have the common drawback that the complexity of the negative pressure or pressure-generating arrangements can be high and this device can have hygienic problems. In addition, there is the problem of the handling of the devices; these are often haptically uncomfortable and / or getting used to.
Weiter haben die Vorrichtungen des Stands der Technik den weiteren Nachteil gemein, dass bei länger andauernden bzw. bei kontinuierlichen oder häufig wiederkehrenden Anwendungen von Unterdrücken Gewöhnungseffekte auftreten.Further, the devices of the prior art have the further disadvantage that habituation effects occur with longer-lasting or continuous or frequently recurring applications of suppressions.
Ein weiterer Nachteil bei einigen der vorstehend beschriebenen Vakuumvorrichtungen besteht darin, dass erstens der Unterdruck mittels eines Regelventils oder einer Vakuumpumpe begrenzt sein muss, und zweitens der Unterdruck mittels einer manuellen Öffnung eines Freigabeventils abgebaut werden sollte, bevor die Saugglocke von der Haut abgelöst wird. Sollte eines der Ventile einen technischen Defekt aufweisen und/oder der Benutzer das Gerät falsch bedienen, so besteht unter Umständen Verletzungsgefahr.Another disadvantage with some of the vacuum devices described above is that, firstly, the vacuum must be limited by means of a control valve or a vacuum pump, and second, the vacuum should be relieved by means of a manual opening of a release valve before the suction cup is detached from the skin. If one of the valves has a technical defect and / or the user operates the unit incorrectly, there may be a risk of injury.
So ist es in Anbetracht der vorstehend erläuterten Probleme die der Erfindung zugrunde liegende Aufgabe, eine Stimulationsvorrichtung anzugeben, welche einen einfachen Aufbau aufweist und in der Verwendung einfach und sicher ist, sowie eine starke Stimulationswirkung aufweist.Thus, in view of the problems discussed above, the object underlying the invention is to provide a stimulation device which has a simple structure and is simple and safe to use, and has a strong stimulation effect.
Die der Erfindung zugrunde liegende Aufgabe wird durch die Stimulationsvorrichtung gemäß Anspruch 1 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Weiterentwicklungen und Ausführungsformen sind Gegenstand der weiteren nebengeordneten und abhängigen Ansprüche.The object underlying the invention is achieved by the stimulation device according to
Erfindungsgemäß weist eine Druckfelderzeugungseinrichtung der Stimulationsvorrichtung zumindest eine erste Kammer und zumindest eine zweite Kammer mit zumindest einer Öffnung zum Aufsetzen auf ein Körperteil bzw. auf die erogene Zone und zumindest ein Verbindungselement, welches die erste Kammer mit der zweiten Kammer verbindet, auf.According to the invention, a pressure field generating device of the stimulation device has at least one first chamber and at least one second chamber with at least one opening for placement on a body part or on the erogenous zone and at least one connecting element which connects the first chamber to the second chamber.
Durch diese erfindungsgemäße Ausbildung von strömungstechnisch über zumindest ein Verbindungselement kommunizierenden Kammern kann durch Änderung des Volumens der ersten Kammer in einfacher Weise ein Druckfeld in der zweiten Kammer erzeugt werden, dass zeitweise auf den zu stimulierenden Hautbereich gerichtet ist.By virtue of this construction according to the invention of chambers communicating fluidly via at least one connecting element, a pressure field in the second chamber can be generated in a simple manner by changing the volume of the first chamber, which is directed at times to the skin area to be stimulated.
Ein Druckfeld im Sinne der Erfindung ist ein sich zeitlich veränderliches Feld von Mediendrücken, welches zeitweise Überdrücke und zeitweise Unterdrücke aufweist, wobei ein Unterdruck ein Mediendruck ist, der unter dem Referenzdruck liegt, und ein Überdruck ein Mediendruck ist, der über dem Referenzdruck liegt. Im Ergebnis fließt das Medium im erfindunggemäßen Druckfeld hin- und her. So kann vorzugsweise ein (weitgehend) intermittierenden Austausch desselben Mediums stattfinden.A pressure field in the sense of the invention is a time-varying field of media pressures, which at times has overpressures and temporary negative pressures, where a negative pressure is a medium pressure which is below the reference pressure, and an overpressure is a medium pressure which is above the reference pressure. As a result, the medium flows back and forth in the pressure field according to the invention. Thus, preferably, a (largely) intermittent exchange of the same medium take place.
Das Medium ist üblicherweise gasförmig, vorzugsweise Luft, kann jedoch beispielsweise alternativ oder additiv ein flüssiges Medium, beispielsweise Wasser oder handelsübliches Gleitmittel, sein. Beispielsweise kann das Gleitmittel vor Benutzung der Stimulationsvorrichtung in die erfindungsgemäßen Kammern eingefüllt werden. Auf diese Weise kann die Stimulation des entsprechenden Hautbereichs anstelle mit Luft auch mit einer geeigneten hautfreundlichen Flüssigkeit erfolgen, was je nach individueller Präferenz des Anwenders gewünscht sein kann. Als weiteres Beispiel kann die Stimulationsvorrichtung auch unter Wasser mit Wasser als Medium verwendet werden (beispielsweise in der Badewanne). Dabei ist die Stimulationsvorrichtung wasserfest ausgestaltet.The medium is usually gaseous, preferably air, but may for example alternatively or additively be a liquid medium, for example water or commercial lubricant. For example, the lubricant may be introduced into the chambers according to the invention before use of the stimulation device. In this way, the stimulation of the corresponding skin area instead of air can also be done with a suitable skin-friendly liquid, which may be desired depending on the individual preference of the user. As another example, the stimulation device may also be underwater Water can be used as a medium (for example in the bathtub). In this case, the stimulation device is made waterproof.
Der Referenzdruck ist üblicherweise der jeweils bei Beginn der Anwendung (d.h. vor dem Aufsetzen der Stimulationsvorrichtung auf den zu stimulierenden Hautbereich) vorliegende Umgebungsdruck in Bezug auf die Stimulationsvorrichtung. Bei der vorzugsweisen Anwendung der Stimulationsvorrichtung mit Luft ist der Referenzdruck der aktuell vorliegende Luftdruck bzw. der Normaldruck. Beispielsweise kann bei der Anwendung der Vorrichtung bei üblichen Standardbedingungen der Referenzdruck ca. 1 bar sein, wobei folglich ein erfindungsgemäßer Unterdruck beispielsweise 0,7 bar und ein erfindungsgemäßer Überdruck beispielsweise 1,3 bar sein kann.The reference pressure is usually the ambient pressure relative to the stimulation device at the beginning of the application (i.e., prior to placement of the stimulation device on the skin area to be stimulated). In the preferred application of the stimulation device with air, the reference pressure is the currently existing air pressure or the normal pressure. For example, in the application of the device under standard conditions, the reference pressure about 1 bar, and consequently a vacuum according to the invention, for example, 0.7 bar and an inventive overpressure, for example, 1.3 may be.
Durch das erfindungsgemäße Druckfeld wird der zu stimulierende Hautbereich einerseits in seiner Durchblutung angeregt, während dieser andererseits indirekt massiert wird. So werden zwei vorteilhafte Effekte kombiniert. Aufgrund der erhöhten Durchblutung ist die erogene Zone der betreffenden Person empfindlicher, während zudem ein Massageeffekt erzeugt wird, der der Stimulation der erogenen Zone, beispielsweise der sexuellen Erregung bis zum Klimax, dient. Der Massageeffekt wird durch die kinetische Energie des aus der ersten Kammer durch das Verbindungselement strömenden Mediums gegen die Oberfläche des zu stimulierenden Hautbereichs erzeugt. Auf diese Weise wird der durch das Druckfeld geschaffene Massageeffekt indirekt, also ohne direkte Berührung der zu stimulierenden Hautpartie durch einen festen Körper, beispielsweise durch einen Vibrator, erzeugt.Due to the pressure field according to the invention, the skin area to be stimulated is stimulated on the one hand in its blood circulation, while on the other hand it is indirectly massaged. This combines two beneficial effects. Due to the increased blood flow, the person's erogenous zone is more sensitive, while also creating a massage effect that serves to stimulate the erogenous zone, for example, from sexual arousal to climax. The massaging effect is generated by the kinetic energy of the medium flowing from the first chamber through the connecting element against the surface of the skin area to be stimulated. In this way, the created by the pressure field massage effect indirectly, ie without direct contact of the skin to be stimulated by a solid body, for example by a vibrator generated.
Durch die beispielhafte Anwendung des sich erfindungsgemäß zeitlich verändernden Druckfeldes auf die Klitoris wird durch das Druckfeld eine Reizung nachgeahmt, welche beim Sexualverkehr üblicherweise stattfindet. Dabei wird durch die Kohabitationsbewegung ebenfalls ein wechselnder Reiz an der Klitoris erzeugt. So handelt es sich um eine lebensnahe Imitation des natürlichen Kohabitationsaktes, wobei ärztliche Aussagen bestätigen, dass die Anwendung des erfindungsgemäßen Druckfeldes weder zu Gewöhnungseffekten noch zur Suchterzeugung führt. Dies ist insbesondere in der abwechselnden Anwendung von Unter- und Überdrücken (bzw. auch in der nicht kontinuierlichen Anwendung nur einer Art eines Drucks) begründet.By the exemplary application of the invention temporally changing pressure field on the clitoris, an irritation is mimicked by the pressure field, which usually takes place during sexual intercourse. The cohabitation movement also causes an alternating stimulus on the clitoris generated. Thus, it is a close-to-life imitation of the natural cohabitation act, with medical statements confirming that the application of the pressure field according to the invention leads neither to habituation effects nor to addiction. This is due in particular to the alternating application of underpressure and overpressure (or also in the non-continuous application of only one type of pressure).
Weiter ist der maximal anwendbare Druck regelmäßig durch die maximale Belastbarkeit des zu stimulierenden Hautbereichs beschränkt. So birgt beispielsweise ein zu hoher Unterdruck besonders in erogenen Zonen das Risiko von schmerzhaften Verletzungen. Ausschließlich mit Unterdrücken arbeitende Stimulationsvorrichtungen sind in ihrer Arbeitsweise üblicherweise auf dieses Maximum beschränkt. Im Gegensatz dazu wird erfindungsgemäß durch die Kombination von Über- und Unterdrücken ein erweiterter Arbeitsbereich des stimulationsauslösenden Druckfeldes bzw. Effektes geschaffen, da der Arbeitsbereich des Drucks nunmehr sowohl im positiven als auch im negativen Bereich bis zum Maximum ausgenutzt werden kann.Furthermore, the maximum applicable pressure is regularly limited by the maximum load capacity of the skin area to be stimulated. For example, too high a negative pressure, especially in erogenous zones, carries the risk of painful injuries. Only suppression pacing devices are usually limited in their operation to this maximum. In contrast, according to the invention, an extended working range of the stimulation-triggering pressure field or effect is created by the combination of positive and negative pressures, since the working range of the pressure can now be exploited to the maximum in both the positive and the negative range.
Durch die Ausrichtung des zumindest einen Verbindungselements auf den zu stimulierenden Hautbereich kann das Druckfeld unmittelbar wirken, wobei das Druckfeld maßgeblich durch die Konfiguration des zumindest einen Verbindungselements und der zumindest einen Öffnung von dem Verbindungselement in die zweite Kammer beeinflusst wird, und so je nach Anwendung der Stimulationsvorrichtung einstellbar ist. So kann die zumindest eine Öffnung des Verbindungselements dem zu stimulierenden Körperteil, vorzugsweise direkt, gegenüber liegen. Beispielsweise kann das Verbindungselement bei einer Stimulationsvorrichtung, welche für die Klitoris bestimmt ist, eine einzelne Durchgangsöffnung mit Düsenwirkung auf die Klitoriseichel zwischen der ersten und der zweiten Kammer aufweisen. Alternativ kann das zumindest eine Verbindungselement aus mehreren, beispielsweise vier, Durchgangsöffnungen zwischen den Kammern bestehen, wenn ein großflächigerer Hautbereich stimuliert werden soll.By aligning the at least one connecting element with the skin area to be stimulated, the pressure field can act directly, the pressure field being decisively influenced by the configuration of the at least one connecting element and the at least one opening from the connecting element into the second chamber, and thus depending on the application Stimulation device is adjustable. Thus, the at least one opening of the connecting element can be located opposite the body part to be stimulated, preferably directly. For example, in a stimulation device intended for the clitoris, the connecting element may have a single passage opening with a jet effect on the clitoris sickle between the first and the second chamber. Alternatively, the at least one connecting element may consist of several, For example, four, passages between the chambers exist when a larger area of the skin area is to be stimulated.
Weiter entsteht nach dem Aufsetzen der halbseitig bzw. teilweise geöffneten zweiten Kammer auf den zu stimulierenden Hautbereich ein in sich abgeschlossenes System der Medien- bzw. Luftströmung in der Druckfelderzeugungseinrichtung. So wird das Medium bzw. die Luft maßgeblich zwischen den Kammern hin- und herbewegt, während ein Austausch mit Medien bzw. mit Luft von außerhalb des Systems zumindest weitgehend vermieden wird. So ist vorzugsweise die erste Kammer über bzw. durch das Verbindungselement ausschließlich mit der zweiten Kammer verbunden. So bestehen keine anderen Verbindungen der ersten Kammer als diejenigen zur zweiten Kammer; beispielsweise besteht keine direkte Verbindung der ersten Kammer mit der Umgebung des Gerätes über ein Druckventil oder über einen Luftabführkanal.Next arises after placing the half-side or partially open second chamber on the skin area to be stimulated a self-contained system of media or air flow in the pressure field generating device. Thus, the medium or the air is significantly reciprocated between the chambers, while an exchange with media or with air from outside the system is at least largely avoided. Thus, the first chamber is preferably connected via or through the connecting element exclusively with the second chamber. Thus, there are no other connections of the first chamber than those to the second chamber; For example, there is no direct connection of the first chamber with the environment of the device via a pressure valve or via a Luftabführkanal.
Beispielsweise wird sich die Temperatur der Luft in dem erfindungsgemäßen Strömungssystem schnell an die Hauttemperatur anpassen, während das störende Zuführen von neuer (beispielsweise kalter) Luft von außerhalb des Systems vermieden wird, so wie dies beim Stand der Technik u.A. bei der Verwendung von Vakuumpumpen der Fall sein kann. Zudem werden Abtrockungseffekte vermieden, da in einem geschlossenen System kein oder kaum Abtransport von stimulationsfördernder Flüssigkeit, beispielsweise Körperflüssigkeit, stattfindet.For example, in the flow system of the present invention, the temperature of the air in the flow system of the present invention will quickly adapt to the skin temperature while avoiding the disturbing supply of new (eg, cold) air from outside the system, as in the prior art et al. may be the case with the use of vacuum pumps. In addition, drying effects are avoided, since in a closed system no or little removal of stimulation-promoting fluid, such as body fluid takes place.
Weiter weist die erfindungsgemäße Druckfelderzeugungseinrichtung aufgrund des einfachen Aufbaus den Vorteil einer erhöhten Hygiene und einer verbesserten Reinigungsfähigkeit auf. Dabei vermeidet die vorliegende Erfindung Ventile oder Pumpen/Kompressoren mit potentiellen Toträumen und nicht zu reinigenden Stellen. So ist die erfindungsgemäße Druckfelderzeugungseinrichtung einfach zu reinigen. Beispielsweise kann eine Reinigung der Stimulationsvorrichtung in einfacher Weise durch Einfüllen einer Reinigungsflüssigkeit in die erste Kammer und aktivieren des Druckfelds erfolgen. Alternativ kann die zweite Kammer austauschbar angeordnet sein, was die Reinigung beider Kammern ebenfalls erleichtert. Weiter können die erfindungsgemäßen Kammern und das Verbindungselement der Druckfelderzeugungseinrichtung einstückig hergestellt sein, wobei diese beispielsweise aus einem einzelnen Plastikformteil (z.B. Gummi) bestehen. Als weitere Alternative können die erste Kammer, die zweite Kammer und das Verbindungselement einstückig ausgeführt sein.Furthermore, the pressure field generating device according to the invention due to the simple structure has the advantage of increased hygiene and improved cleaning ability. In this case, the present invention avoids valves or pumps / compressors with potential dead spaces and points not to be cleaned. Thus, the pressure field generating device according to the invention is easy to clean. For example, a cleaning of the stimulation device in a simple manner by filling a cleaning liquid into the first chamber and Activate the print field. Alternatively, the second chamber may be arranged interchangeably, which also facilitates the cleaning of both chambers. Further, the chambers according to the invention and the connecting element of the pressure field generating device can be made in one piece, which for example consist of a single plastic molded part (eg rubber). As a further alternative, the first chamber, the second chamber and the connecting element can be made in one piece.
Zudem führt der erfindungsgemäße Aufbau zur Vermeidung komplexer strömungstechnischer Elemente, wie z.B. Ventile, was zu einer Vereinfachung der Herstellung führt.In addition, the construction according to the invention leads to the avoidance of complex fluidic elements, such as e.g. Valves, which leads to a simplification of the production.
Weiter weist die erfindungsgemäße Stimulationsvorrichtung eine Antriebseinheit, welche das Volumen der ersten Kammer derart verändert, dass über das Verbindungselement in der zweiten Kammer ein Druckfeld erzeugt wird, welches der Stimulation der erogenen Zone dient, und eine Steuereinrichtung auf, welche die Antriebseinheit ansteuert.Furthermore, the stimulation device according to the invention has a drive unit which changes the volume of the first chamber such that a pressure field is generated via the connecting element in the second chamber, which serves to stimulate the erogenous zone, and a control device, which controls the drive unit.
Das zwischen den Kammern transportierte Medium ist in seinem Volumen prinzipbedingt auf das maximale Volumen der ersten Kammer begrenzt. Zudem kann das transportierte Volumen durch die maximal mögliche Volumenänderung, welche durch die Antriebseinheit bewirkt wird, weiter konstruktiv beschränkt werden.The transported between the chambers medium is limited in principle by its volume to the maximum volume of the first chamber. In addition, the volume transported through the maximum possible change in volume, which is caused by the drive unit, be further limited constructive.
Dies hat zur Folge, dass der maximale Über- bzw. Unterdruck, den die Stimulationsvorrichtung in der zweiten Kammer aufbauen kann, aufgrund der Dimensionierung der Komponenten der Druckfelderzeugungseinrichtung und des Antriebs beschränkt ist. Insbesondere kann der maximale Über- bzw. Unterdruck auf ein Maß beschränkt werden, der eine Verletzungsgefahr für die zu stimulierenden Hautbereiche minimiert oder ausschließt. Beispielsweise erübrigt sich damit ein im Stand der Technik übliches Sicherheitsventil oder ein manuelles Eingreifen des Benutzers in den Stimulationsvorgang, beispielsweise ein Öffnen eines Freigabeventils.As a result, the maximum positive or negative pressure that the stimulation device can build up in the second chamber is limited due to the dimensioning of the components of the pressure field generation device and the drive. In particular, the maximum positive or negative pressure can be limited to a level that minimizes or precludes a risk of injury to the skin areas to be stimulated. For example, this eliminates the need for an im The prior art conventional safety valve or a manual intervention of the user in the stimulation process, such as opening a release valve.
Weiter wird die zeitliche Veränderung des Druckfeldes bzw. die Modulation des Druckfeldes durch die Steuereinrichtung weitgehend automatisch gesteuert. So kann in der Steuereinrichtung die Modulation des Druckfeldes, beispielsweise Intensität, zeitlicher Verlauf oder Abfolge, vorgespeichert sein. Vorzugsweise kann die zeitliche Veränderung des Druckfeldes regelmäßige bzw. wiederkehrende (Stimulations-) Muster aufweisen, beispielsweise Impulse mit einem vorgegebenen Takt oder sich regelmäßig abwechselnde Impulsfolgen. Auf diese Weise kann sich die Interaktion des Benutzers mit der Stimulationsvorrichtung erfindungsgemäß auf das An- und das Ausschalten und die Wahl des Stimulationsmusters beschränken, während die Stimulationsvorrichtung das bevorzugte Stimulationsmuster automatisch ausführt. Somit ist erfindungsgemäß die Anwendungskomplexität der Stimulationsvorrichtung gerade im Vergleich zu den herkömmlichen (medizinischen) Vakuum-Stimulationsvorrichtungen niedrig. Alternativ oder zusätzlich kann der Benutzer die Stimulationsmuster der Stimulationsvorrichtung während oder vor dem Betrieb individuell konfigurieren.Furthermore, the time variation of the pressure field or the modulation of the pressure field is largely automatically controlled by the control device. Thus, in the control device, the modulation of the pressure field, such as intensity, time course or sequence, be pre-stored. The temporal change of the pressure field may preferably have regular or recurring (stimulation) patterns, for example pulses having a predetermined clock or regularly alternating pulse sequences. In this way, the interaction of the user with the stimulation device according to the invention can be limited to the switching on and off and the selection of the stimulation pattern, while the stimulation device automatically executes the preferred stimulation pattern. Thus, according to the invention, the application complexity of the stimulation device is low, especially in comparison to the conventional (medical) vacuum stimulation devices. Alternatively or additionally, the user may individually configure the stimulation patterns of the stimulation device during or before operation.
Zudem ist erfindungsgemäß bei der Stimulationsvorrichtung (zumindest) ein Fortsatz vorgesehen. Dieser Fortsatz kann einerseits als Handgriff verwendet werden, um die Stimulationsvorrichtung einfach und bequem zu halten, und andererseits kann der Fortsatz auch als direktes bzw. unmittelbares Stimulationsmittel zum Einführen in den menschlichen Körper oder auch zum Aufsetzen auf den menschlichen Körper verwendet werden.In addition, according to the invention, at least one extension is provided in the stimulation device. This extension can be used on the one hand as a handle to keep the stimulation device simple and comfortable, and on the other hand, the extension can also be used as a direct or stimulating means for insertion into the human body or for placing on the human body.
Wird der Fortsatz in den menschlichen Körper eingeführt, dient dies der direkten Stimulation des betroffenen Körperteils. So ergänzt dies den indirekten Stimulationseffekt der Druckfelderzeugungseinrichtung. Es kann also gleichzeitig oder abwechselnd eine direkte und eine indirekte Stimulation mehrerer erogener Zonen stattfinden. Beispielsweise kann der Fortsatz in die weibliche Vagina eingeführt werden, während zugleich oder abwechselnd eine Stimulation der Klitoris mittels dem erfindungsgemäßen Druckfeld erfolgen kann. Entsprechend kann das erfindungsgemäße Prinzip der kombinierten direkten und indirekten Stimulation auch auf andere Körperteile bzw. deren erogenen Zonen angewandt werden. Beispielsweise kann der Fortsatz auf die Klitoris einer Frau aufgesetzt werden, während die Druckfelderzeugungseinrichtung die Klitoris einer weiteren oder derselben Frau stimuliert.When the appendage is introduced into the human body, it serves to directly stimulate the affected body part. This complements the indirect stimulation effect of the pressure field generation device. So it can be done at the same time or alternating direct and indirect stimulation of multiple erogenous zones. For example, the extension can be introduced into the female vagina, while at the same time or alternately a stimulation of the clitoris by means of the pressure field according to the invention can take place. Accordingly, the inventive principle of combined direct and indirect stimulation can also be applied to other body parts or their erogenous zones. For example, the appendix can be placed on the clitoris of a woman, while the pressure field generating device stimulates the clitoris of another or the same woman.
So kann die Stimulationsvorrichtung mit Fortsatz von nur einer Person oder auch von zwei verschiedenen Personen zur Stimulation mehrerer erogener Zonen eingesetzt werden.Thus, the stimulation device with extension of only one person or even two different persons can be used to stimulate several erogenous zones.
Die Kombination von direkter und indirekter Stimulation führt zu einer Verbesserung des Stimulationseffekts und zu einer vielfältigen Anwendbarkeit der Stimulationsvorrichtung. Mittels der erfindungsgemäßen Stimulationsvorrichtung mit Fortsatz bestehen zudem weitere, alternative Spielarten beim Sexualakt.The combination of direct and indirect stimulation leads to an improvement of the stimulation effect and to a versatile applicability of the stimulation device. By means of the stimulation device according to the invention with an extension, there are also other, alternative varieties in the sexual act.
Damit ist erfindungsgemäß eine Stimulationsvorrichtung mit mehreren kumulativen orgasmus- bzw. stimulationsauslösenden Effekten vorgesehen, welche für der Stimulation mehrerer erogenen Zonen, insbesondere der weiblichen Klitoris, geeignet ist. Weiter ist Vorrichtung vorgesehen, welche ein Austrocknen der zu stimulierenden erogenen Zonen vermeidet, hygienisch ist und Gewöhnungseffekte vermeidet.Thus, according to the invention, a stimulation device with several cumulative orgasm- or stimulation-triggering effects is provided, which is suitable for the stimulation of several erogenous zones, in particular the female clitoris. Next device is provided which avoids drying out of the erogenous zones to be stimulated, is hygienic and avoids habituation effects.
Gemäß einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist der Fortsatz mit der Druckfelderzeugungseinrichtung beweglich, beispielsweise mittels eines Gelenks an einem Ende des Fortsatzes verbunden. Damit kann die Stimulationsvorrichtung an die jeweilige Anatomie des menschlichen Körpers und an seine Verwendung angepasst werden. Beispielsweise kann der Fortsatz in die weibliche Vagina eingeführt werden, um danach den Winkel zwischen Druckfelderzeugungseinrichtung und Fortsatz derart anzupassen, dass die Öffnung der zweiten Kammer passgenau über der Klitoris platziert werden kann. Folglich wird die Körperregion zwischen Klitoris und Vagina von beiden Seiten stimuliert, wobei sich die Effekte der direkten und indirekten Stimulation gegenseitig verstärken.According to one embodiment of the invention, the extension of the pressure field generating device is movable, for example connected by means of a joint at one end of the extension. Thus, the stimulation device can be adapted to the particular anatomy of the human body and to its use become. For example, the appendage may be inserted into the female vagina to thereafter adjust the angle between the pressure field generator and the appendage such that the aperture of the second chamber can be accurately placed over the clitoris. Consequently, the body region between the clitoris and the vagina is stimulated from both sides, with the effects of direct and indirect stimulation mutually reinforcing each other.
Wird der Fortsatz als Handgriff zum Halten der Stimulationsvorrichtung verwendet, so kann der Winkel zwischen Handgriff und Öffnung der zweiten Kammer entsprechend der Vorlieben des Verwenders der Vorrichtung angepasst werden.If the extension is used as a handle for holding the stimulation device, the angle between the handle and the opening of the second chamber can be adjusted according to the preferences of the user of the device.
Gemäß einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist der Fortsatz ein Stimulationsmittel, welches derart geformt ist, dass man den Fortsatz zur direkten Stimulation in den menschlichen Körper, beispielsweise in die Vagina, einführen kann. Dabei ist der Fortsatz vorzugsweise in der Form eines Dildos ausgeführt. Vermieden werden dabei insbesondere scharfe Kanten. So ist der Fortsatz vorzugsweise derart ausgeführt, dass dieser leichtgängig in Körperöffnungen eingeführt werden kann, und/oder in dieser auch eingeführt bleibt.According to one embodiment of the invention, the extension is a stimulation means, which is shaped so that one can introduce the extension for direct stimulation in the human body, for example in the vagina. In this case, the extension is preferably designed in the form of a dildo. In particular, sharp edges are avoided. Thus, the extension is preferably designed such that it can be easily inserted into body openings, and / or remains inserted in this.
Gemäß einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist der Fortsatz (140) ein länglicher, linsen- oder kissenförmiger Körper, welcher derart angepasst ist, dass der Fortsatz leichtgängig in die weibliche Vagina eingeführt werden kann. Dies verbessert den direkten Stimulationseffekt.According to one embodiment of the invention, the extension (140) is an elongated, lens or pillow-shaped body, which is adapted such that the extension can be easily inserted into the female vagina. This improves the direct stimulation effect.
Gemäß einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist der Fortsatz derart an der Druckfelderzeugungseinrichtung angebracht ist, dass die Stimulationsvorrichtung einheitlich ausgestaltet ist. Einheitlich bedeutet hierbei insbesondere, dass die Stimulationsvorrichtung mit Fortsatz und Druckfelderzeugungseinrichtung als eine integrierte, zusammenhängende Vorrichtung ausgeführt ist. Vorzugsweise sind die Übergänge zwischen Fortsatz und Druckfelderzeugungseinrichtung hierbei nahtlos ausgestaltet. Dies verbessert die Hygiene und die Bedienbarkeit der Stimulationsvorrichtung.According to one embodiment of the invention, the extension is attached to the pressure field generating device such that the stimulation device is configured uniformly.

Preferably, the Transitions between extension and pressure field generating device designed here seamlessly. This improves the hygiene and the operability of the stimulation device.
Gemäß einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung weist der Fortsatz eine Vibrationsvorrichtung auf. Diese Vibrationsvorrichtung kann derart betätigt werden, dass der Fortsatz, so wie dies bei elektromechanisch betriebenen Dildos bekannt ist, vibriert. Die Vibration kann dabei entweder unabhängig von den anderen Teilen der Stimulationsvorrichtung aktiviert werden, oder aber kann die Vibration mittels der Steuervorrichtung, welche dann ebenso die Antriebseinheit der Druckfelderzeugungseinrichtung ansteuert, angesteuert werden. Vorzugsweise kann die Vibration in herkömmlich bekannter Weise in Stärke, Dauer und Abfolge steuerbar sein. Mit der Vibration wird der direkte Stimulationseffekt verstärkt.According to a development of the invention, the extension has a vibration device. This vibration device can be actuated such that the extension, as is known in electromechanically operated dildos, vibrates. The vibration can either be activated independently of the other parts of the stimulation device, or else the vibration can be controlled by means of the control device, which then also controls the drive unit of the pressure field generation device. Preferably, the vibration may be controllable in a conventionally known manner in terms of strength, duration and sequence. The vibration enhances the direct stimulation effect.
Gemäß einem weiteren Aspekt der Erfindung wird nach dem nebengeordneten Anspruch 20 ein System mit der erfindungsgemäßen Stimulationsvorrichtung vorgeschlagen, welches eine zu der Stimulationsvorrichtung getrennt angeordnete Fernsteuervorrichtung aufweist, wobei die Steuereinrichtung der Stimulationsvorrichtung von der Fernsteuereinrichtung ferngesteuert wird. So kann eine übliche kabellose (beispielsweise über Funk) oder kabelgebundene Fernsteuerung eingesetzt werden, um die Modulation der Stimulationsvorrichtung oder deren Aktivierung von einem weiteren Benutzer fernzusteuern zu lassen.According to a further aspect of the invention, according to the independent claim 20, a system is proposed with the stimulation device according to the invention, which has a remote control device arranged separately from the stimulation device, wherein the control device of the stimulation device is remotely controlled by the remote control device. Thus, a conventional wireless (for example, via wireless) or wired remote control can be used to remotely control the modulation of the stimulation device or its activation by another user.
Gemäß einem weiteren Aspekt der Erfindung werden nach den Ansprüchen 21 bis 25 Verfahren zur Stimulation von Körperteilen, insbesondere der Klitoris, vorgeschlagen. Die zugehörigen vorteilhaften Effekte und Wirkungen sind vorstehend in Bezug auf das Druckfeld und den Fortsatz näher erläutert.According to a further aspect of the invention, methods for stimulating body parts, in particular the clitoris, are proposed according to claims 21 to 25. The associated advantageous effects and effects are explained in detail above with respect to the pressure field and the extension.
Gemäß einem weiteren Aspekt der Erfindung wird nach Anspruch 19 die Verwendung der erfindungsgemäßen Stimulationsvorrichtung als Sexspielzeug zur Stimulation der weiblichen Klitoris vorgeschlagen. Wie eingangs erläutert ist die weibliche Klitoris eine besonders empfindliche erogene Zone der Frau, weshalb die erfindungsgemäße Verwendung einer indirekten Massage- in Kombination mit einer Unterdruckstimulation für dieses Körperteil zur Stimulation bis zum Orgasmus besonders vorteilhaft erscheint.According to a further aspect of the invention according to claim 19, the use of the stimulation device according to the invention as a sex toy for Stimulation of the female clitoris suggested. As explained above, the female clitoris is a particularly sensitive erogenous zone of the woman, which is why the inventive use of an indirect massage in combination with a negative pressure stimulation for this body part for stimulation to orgasm appears particularly advantageous.
Bei der vorliegenden Erfindung dienen die Verfahren zur Stimulation von erogenen Zonen zum sexuellen Vergnügen, mithin dienen die Verfahren nicht medizinischen, beispielsweise therapeutischen, Zwecken.In the present invention, the methods for stimulating erogenous zones are for sexual pleasure, and thus the methods are for non-medical, for example, therapeutic, purposes.

Die ersten Ausführungsform der Stimulationsvorrichtung 1 ist ein, vorzugsweise tragbares, Elektro- oder Kleingerät, welches ein Gehäuse 8, eine Druckfelderzeugungseinrichtung 2, einen optionalen An-/Aus- Schalter 74 und eine optionale Beleuchtung 9 aufweist.The first embodiment of the
Das Gehäuse 8 ist vorzugsweise derart ergonomisch ausgeführt, dass man es mit einer Hand bequem halten kann und es keine scharfen bzw. spitzen Kanten aufweist. Weiter kann das Gehäuse 8 aus einem Kunststoff, beispielsweise Polycarbonat (PC) oder Acrylnitril-Butadien-Styrol (ABS), bestehen. Zudem können die Griffbereiche oder auch das gesamte Gehäuse mit einem haptisch vorteilhaften Silikon ergänzt sein oder aus diesem bestehen. Das Gehäuse 8 ist vorzugsweise zumindest wasserabweisend oder spritzwasserfest ausgestaltet, beispielsweise Schutzklasse IP 24. Die gestrichelte Linie der
Der optionale An-/Aus- Schalter 74 dient der Aktivierung und Deaktivierung der Stimulationsvorrichtung 1. Dieser An-/Aus- Schalter 74 kann beispielsweise ein Drucktaster, welcher die Stimulationsvorrichtung 1 bei längerem Drücken ein-bzw. ausschaltet, oder ein einrastender Schiebeschalter sei. Alternativ kann die Stimulationsvorrichtung 1 per Fernsteuerung an- und auschaltbar sein.The optional on / off
Die Druckfelderzeugungseinrichtung 2 einer ersten Ausführungsform weist eine erste Kammer 3 im Inneren der Stimulationsvorrichtung 1, eine zweite Kammer 4 zum Aufsetzen auf ein zu stimulierendes Körperteil 11, und ein Verbindungselement 5 auf, welche die erste Kammer 3 mit der zweiten Kammer 4 verbindet.The pressure
Eine Antriebseinheit 6, beispielsweise ein Elektromotor, treibt über eine Achse 61 und mittels eines Exzenters 62 (oder alternativ mittels einer Pleuelstange) die erste Kammer 3 derart an, dass das Volumen der ersten Kammer 3 entsprechend Drehung der Achse 61 der Antriebseinheit 6 verändert wird. Hierzu wird angemerkt, dass in der Stimulationsvorrichtung 1 grundsätzlich alle Antriebsarten einsetzbar sind, welche eine Auslenkung der Wand 31 der ersten Kammer 3 zur Volumenänderung bewirken. So kann dies beispielsweise hydraulisch, pneumatisch, piezoelektrisch, mechanisch oder elektromagnetisch geschehen. Beispiele hierfür werden später noch näher erläutert.A
Eine Steuereinrichtung 7 steuert die Antriebseinheit 6, optionale Bedienelemente 71 und zumindest eine optionale Anzeige 72 an. Dabei werden die Steuereinrichtung 7 und die Antriebseinheit 6 beispielsweise von der internen Batterie 76 und/oder der externen Leistungsversorgung 73 mit Leistung versorgt.A
Die Stimulationsvorrichtung 1 weist weiter zumindest einen Fortsatz 140 auf. Dieser Fortsatz 140, welcher vorzugsweise ein Bestandteil des Gehäuses 8 ist, ist optional relativ zu dem Gehäuseteil beweglich bzw. abwinkelbar, in dem die Druckfelderzeugungseinrichtung 2 untergebracht ist. Dabei kann der Fortsatz mittels eines Gelenks 141 abgewinkelt oder auch verdreht werden. Das Gelenk 141 kann beispielsweise als plastisch verformbares Plastikteil, als Stellgelenk oder als Scharnier ausgestaltet sein.
Der Fortsatz 140 ist vorzugsweise ein Stimulationsmittel zum Einführen in den menschlichen Körper, beispielsweise in die Vagina oder auch andere Körperöffnungen. Dabei ist der Fortsatz 140 beispielsweise wie ein gebräuchlicher Dildo geformt. Alternativ kann der Fortsatz derart ausgebildet sein, dass dieser an die menschliche Anatomie einer anderen Körperöffnung angepasst ist, beispielsweise dem Mund. Zudem kann der Fortsatz 140 derart ausgebildet sein, dass man diesen auch als Handgriff verwenden kann, um die Stimulationsvorrichtung 1 bequem zu halten.The
Zudem kann der Fortsatz 140 optional eine Vibrationsvorrichtung 142 aufweisen, die zuschaltbar und/oder steuerbar sein kann. Die Vibrationsvorrichtung 142 versetzt den Fortsatz in mechanische Schwingungen, welche den direkten Stimulationseffekt des Fortsatzes 140 unterstützen.In addition, the
Optional ist der Fortsatz 140 an dem Abschnitt des Gehäuses 8, welcher die Druckfelderzeugungseinrichtung 2 aufnimmt, derart angebracht, dass das (Gesamt-) Gehäuse 8 der Stimulationsvorrichtung 1 einheitlich ausgestaltet ist. Somit erweckt das Gehäuse 8 den Eindruck, dass dieses einstückig bzw. einteilig ist, beispielsweise mittels flexibler und/oder nahtloser Verbindungselemente des Gehäuses 8. Alternativ kann das Gehäuse 8 incl. Fortsatz 140 einen Silikonüberzug aufweisen.Optionally, the

Weiter kann eine optionale Beleuchtung 9 an oder in dem Gehäuse 8 vorgesehen sein. Dabei dient die Beleuchtung 9 vorzugsweise der Beleuchtung des Inneren der zweiten Kammer 4. Die Beleuchtung 9 kann entweder durch den Benutzer zuschaltbar sein oder bei Aktivierung der Stimulationsvorrichtung 1 automatisch aktiviert sein. Weiter kann die Beleuchtung 9 aus energiesparenden Leuchtdioden ausgebildet sein. Die Beleuchtung kann beispielsweise als Orientierungshilfe für den Benutzer der Stimulationsvorrichtung 1 im Dunkeln oder als zusätzliche optische Stimulation dienen.Further, an

Das zu stimulierende Körperteil 11 ist ein Hautbereich des Körpers, wobei hier beispielhaft eine besonders empfindliche erogene Zone, die Klitoris 12, dargestellt ist. Somit ist die Anwendung der vorliegenden Erfindung ist jedoch nicht auf die weibliche Klitoris 11 beschränkt, sondern die Stimulationsvorrichtung 1 kann auf alle Körperteile bzw. erogenen Zonen (beispielsweise die Innenseite der Oberschenkel, die Lenden, Nacken, Brustwarzen, etc.) angewandt werden, welche mittels Medien- bzw. Luftdruckmassage und/oder Unterdruck stimuliert werden können.The
Die zweite Kammer 4 bildet durch das Aufsetzen auf das zu stimulierende Körperteil 11 eine zum Äußeren der Druckfelderzeugungseinrichtung2 weitgehend oder vollständig abgeschlossene Kammer, welche nur noch über das Verbindungselement 5 mit der zweiten Kammer in Verbindung steht, wobei die Ränder der Kammer 4 im Idealfall dicht mit der Oberfläche des Körperteils 11 abschließen. Auf diese Weise entstehen zwei kommunizierende Kammern 3 und 4, wobei bei Volumenänderung einer der Kammern 3 oder 4 ein entsprechender Druckausgleich zwischen den Kammern 3 und 4 über das Verbindungselement 5 erfolgt.The
Eine Wand 31 der ersten Kammer 3 ist mittels einer Halterung 32 fixiert. Die Halterung 32 ist wiederum an dem Gehäuse 8 befestigt. An der Halterung 32 ist weiter die Wand 41 der zweiten Kammer angebracht. Zwei zueinander ausgerichtete Öffnungen in der Wand 41 der zweiten Kammer und der Halterung 32 bilden gemeinsam das Verbindungselement 5, welches die erste Kammer 3 und die zweite Kammer 5 verbindet. Dabei sind die Wand 31, die Halterung 32 und die Wand 41 vorzugsweise miteinander medien- bzw. luftdicht verklebt. Alternativ können diese auch miteinander (beispielweise mit Hilfe von dichtenden Bereichen zwischen dem Gehäuse 8 und dem jeweiligen Teil) press-gepasst oder verschraubt sein. Auch die Halterung 32 kann mit dem Gehäuse 8 beispielsweise verklebt oder verschraubt sein.A
Die Wand 31 der ersten Kammer 3 besteht vorzugsweise aus einem flexiblen, medien- bzw. luftundurchlässigen Material, beispielsweise Gummi. Die Halterung 32 besteht vorzugsweise aus einem starren Kunststoff, welcher ebenso medien- bzw. luftundurchlässig ist. Die Wand 41 der zweiten Kammer ist vorzugsweise aus einem flexiblen, hautfreundlichen Material hergestellt, beispielsweise Silikon oder Gummi.The
Dadurch vergrößert sich das Volumen V2 der Kammer 3, d.h., V2 > V1. Um den entstandenen Druckunterschied zwischen den Kammern 3 und 4 auszugleichen, strömt nunmehr das Medium bzw. die Luft von der zweiten Kammer 4 in die erste Kammer 3.This increases the volume V2 of the
Unter der Annahme, dass in dem ersten Zustand der in den Kammern 3 und 4 vorliegende Druck dem aktuell herrschendem, äußerem Referenzdruck (beispielsweise dem Luftdruck) entspricht, wird nun der vorliegende Gesamtdruck in dem zweiten Zustand geringer sein, als der äußere Referenzdruck. Dieser Unterdruck ist derart ausgelegt, dass dieser vorzugsweise geringer ist, als der übliche systolische Blutdruck in den Blutgefäßen des Körperteils 11. Damit erhöht sich die Durchblutung in diesem Bereich und die Klitoris 12 wird in dem zweiten Zustand besser durchblutet.Assuming that in the first state, the pressure present in the
Diese Medienströmung ist nun durch die Ausrichtung der Öffnung 51 und/oder des Verbindungselements 5 vorzugsweise auf das zu stimulierende Körperteil 11, insbesondere auf die Eichel der Klitoris 12, gerichtet. Die erfindungsgemäße indirekte (Druck-)Massage erfolgt durch das auf das Körperteil 11 strömende Medium. Dabei ist die Größe der Öffnung 51 derart dimensioniert, dass diese im Verhältnis zu dem in der ersten Kammer 3 verdrängten Volumen klein genug ist, um das Medium für eine spürbare Massagewirkung ausreichend zu beschleunigen.This media flow is now directed by the orientation of the
Weiter kann die Art der Strömung nicht nur durch die Größe und die Ausrichtung der Öffnung 51 vorteilhaft beeinflusst werden, sondern auch durch die innere Konfiguration des Verbindungselements. Beispielsweise können helixförmige Rillen in dem Verbindungselement 5 einen Drall der erfindungsgemäßen Strömung verursachen, wobei das Strömungsprofil der Strömung eine "weichere" bzw. turbulentere Wirkung auf das zu stimulierende Körperteil entfaltet. Alternativ kann das sich in der zweiten Kammer 4 ergebende Druckfeld mit Hilfe mehrerer Öffnungen 51 entsprechend der Anwendung angepasst werden.Further, the type of flow can be favorably influenced not only by the size and orientation of the

Auch kann, wie in
Die Volumenänderung der ersten Kammer 3 erfolgt hier in einer zur Kolbenpumpe ähnlichen Weise, jedoch fehlen hier etwaig vorhandene Ventile. So wird ein Kolben 63 durch die Antriebseinheit, beispielsweise ein Elektromotor oder ein Elektromagnet, in den Richtungen des Doppelpfeils D hin- und herbewegt. Diese Art des Antriebs hat den Vorteil, dass das Volumen der ersten Kammer 3 in einfacher Weise auf Null bzw. auf annähernd Null verringert werden kann, und so die erste Kammer 3 fast vollständig entleert werden kann.The volume change of the

Die Steuereinrichtung 7, welche beispielsweise einen Mikrocontroller aufweist oder festverdrahtet ist, steuert zunächst die Stromversorgung aller Verbraucher der Stimulationsvorrichtung 1, sowie optional einen Lade- und Entladevorgang der Batterie 76 und/oder ein Batteriemanagement. Insbesondere steuert die Steuereinrichtung 7 die Erregung der Antriebseinheit 6, beispielsweise die Größe der Auslenkung, die Frequenz, die Modulation, etc.The
Optional vorgesehene Bedienelemente 71 dienen der Einstellung der Betriebsart des Gerätes, d.h. der Einstellung des Modulationsmusters des Druckfeldes. Die Bedienelemente 71 können beispielsweise als zumindest ein Drucktaster, als zumindest ein Drehschalter, oder als zumindest ein berührungsempfindlicher Schalter ausgeführt sein. Weiter können die Bedienelemente 71 ein optisches Feedback zur Betätigung, beispielsweise mittels in den Schalter integrierter Leuchtdioden (LED), abgeben.
Eine optionale Anzeige 72 dient der Information des Benutzers über den Gerätezustand und/oder den Einstellzustand. Die Anzeige 72 kann beispielsweise aus einer Mehrzahl von Leuchtdioden oder als LCD-Anzeige ausgestaltet sein. Die angezeigten Informationen können beispielsweise der Ladezustand einer optionalen Batterie oder die aktuelle Einstellung des Modulationsmusters sein.An
Weiter kann die Steuereinrichtung 7 einen Speicher aufweisen, in dem zumindest ein Modulations- bzw. Stimulationsmuster (diese werden in Zusammenhang mit
Eine (nicht näher dargestellte) Buchse kann der externen Stromversorgung der Stimulationsvorrichtung 1 über einen externen Stecker dienen, welcher beispielsweise an einen externen Netzadapter angeschlossen ist. Um die Spritzwasserfestigkeit der Stimulationsvorrichtung 1 sicherzustellen, kann auch anstelle der Buchse ein magnetisch-induktiver Übertrager vorgesehen sein, welcher eine Leistungsübertragung in die Stimulationsvorrichtung 1 ohne einen elektrischen leitenden Kontakt ermöglicht. Vorzugsweise weist die Stimulationsvorrichtung 1 zudem eine Batterie, beispielsweise einen Nickel-Metalhydrit-Akku (NiMH), für einen kabellosen Betrieb auf. Alternativ kann auch ein (längeres) Stromversorgungskabel aus der Stimulationsvorrichtung herausgeführt sein.A (not shown) socket can serve the external power supply of the
Die Erfindung lässt neben den erläuterten Ausführungsformen weitere Gestaltungsgrundsätze zu. So können verschiedene Anordnungen bzw.
