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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • a negative pressure is a medium pressure which is below the reference pressure
  • an overpressure is a medium pressure which is above the reference pressure.
  • the medium is usually gaseous, preferably air, but may for example alternatively or additively be a liquid medium, for example water or commercial lubricant.
  • the lubricant may be introduced into the chambers according to the invention before use of the stimulation device.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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).
  • the reference pressure is the currently existing air pressure or the normal pressure.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • the at least one opening of the connecting element can be located opposite the body part to be stimulated, preferably directly.
  • the connecting element may have a single passage opening with a jet effect on the clitoris sickle between the first and the second chamber.
  • 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.
  • the first chamber is preferably connected via or through the connecting element exclusively with the second chamber.
  • 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.
  • drying effects are avoided, since in a closed system no or little removal of stimulation-promoting fluid, such as body fluid takes place.
  • the pressure field generating device according to the invention due to the simple structure has the advantage of increased hygiene and improved cleaning ability.
  • the present invention avoids valves or pumps / compressors with potential dead spaces and points not to be cleaned.
  • the pressure field generating device according to the invention is easy to clean.

  • 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).
  • the first chamber, the second chamber and the connecting element can be made in one piece.
  • 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.
  • the stimulation device 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.

  • the volume transported through the maximum possible change in volume, which is caused by the drive unit be further limited constructive.
  • 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.
  • 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.
