Abstract

Disclosed embodiments provide a massager having at least one expandable chamber. In some embodiments, there is provided an expandable shaft chamber that is inflatable to push a stimulator towards the G-spot of the user to increase contact pressure in that area. This inflation can also allow for a hands-free experience by expanding the width of the shaft inside the vagina for a snug fit tight against the vaginal or rectum walls. In some embodiments, there is provided an expandable ring chamber that is inflatable to securely hold a massager device inside the vagina or rectum, allowing for a hands-free experience.

Claims (46)

1. A massager device comprising:

an insertable shaft having a first side and a second side, wherein the first side comprises a massage surface, and wherein the massage surface is not inflatable;

a stimulator;

an expandable shaft chamber disposed on the second side of the insertable shaft; and

a dual-port input valve.

2. The massager device of claim 1 , wherein the stimulator is a vibrator, gyrator, oscillator, or pulsator.

3. The massager device of claim 1 , wherein the stimulator comprises an object configured to roll adjacent to an underside of a massage surface.

4. The massager device of claim 3 , wherein the stimulator comprises:

an enclosure comprising an opening, wherein the enclosure is an elongate shape;

a threaded post disposed within the enclosure, the threaded post comprising a plurality of pitched threads;

a spherical object disposed within the plurality of pitched threads, wherein the spherical object protrudes outside the opening of the enclosure;

a driver configured to rotate the threaded post; and

an elastic sheath disposed at least over the opening.

5. The massager device of claim 4 , wherein the enclosure is formed with a curvature such that travel of the spherical object is along a plane parallel to a longitudinal axis of the threaded post.

6. The massager device of claim 5 , wherein the threaded post comprises one or more flattened portions of threads, and one or more non-flattened portions of threads.

7. The massager device of claim 3 , wherein the massage surface is an exterior portion of a sheath disposed over at least a portion of the massager device.

8. The massager device of claim 1 , wherein the second side is disposed opposite the first side.

9. The massager device of claim 1 ,

wherein the expandable shaft chamber does not inflate the first side of the insertable shaft; and

wherein the expandable shaft chamber does not extend around an entire circumference of the shaft.

10. The massager device of claim 1 , wherein the expandable shaft chamber is an inflatable pneumatic chamber.

11. The massager device of claim 1 , further comprising a pump.

12. The massager device of claim 1 , further comprising an exhaust valve.

13. A massager device comprising:

an insertable shaft having a first side and a second side, wherein the first side comprises a massage surface;

a stimulator;

an expandable shaft chamber disposed on the second side of the insertable shaft; and

a flexible arm, wherein the insertable shaft is affixed to a first end of the flexible arm.

14. The massager device of claim 13 , wherein a pneumatic conduit is disposed within the flexible arm between an expandable shaft chamber and a base affixed to a second end of the arm.

15. The massager of claim 1 , further comprising:

a processor; and

a memory coupled to the processor, wherein the memory contains instructions, that when executed by the processor, control a configuration of the dual-port input valve.

16. The massager device of claim 15 , wherein the memory further comprises instructions, that when executed by the processor, inflate the ring chamber and inflate the shaft chamber.

17. The massager device of claim 15 , further comprising a ring chamber pressure sensor, and wherein the memory contains instructions, that when executed by the processor, stop a pump in response to detecting a ring chamber pressure limit.

18. The massager device of claim 15 , further comprising a shaft chamber pressure sensor, and wherein the memory contains instructions, that when executed by the processor, stop a pump in response to detecting a shaft chamber pressure limit.

19. A massager device comprising:

an insertable shaft having a first side and a second side, wherein the first side comprises a massage surface;

a stimulator;

an expandable shaft chamber disposed on the second side of the insertable shaft:

an input valve configured to supply air to the expandable shaft chamber;

a processor; and

a memory coupled to the processor, wherein the memory contains instructions, that when executed by the processor, control a configuration of the input valve.

20. The massager device of claim 19 , wherein the memory further comprises instructions, that when executed by the processor, inflate the shaft chamber.

21. The massager device of claim 19 , further comprising a ring chamber pressure sensor, and wherein the memory contains instructions, that when executed by the processor, stop a pump in response to detecting a ring chamber pressure limit.

22. The massager device of claim 19 , further comprising a shaft chamber pressure sensor, and wherein the memory contains instructions, that when executed by the processor, stop a pump in response to detecting a shaft chamber pressure limit.

23. The massager device of claim 1 , further comprising a handle.
