Abstract

A massage device includes a shell configured to be inserted into a vagina, a lateral wall of the shell concaved inwardly and laterally relative to an outer lateral surface of the shell to define a moving space which communicates with an outside environment out of the outer lateral surface of the shell; a driving member arranged in a chamber of the shell, wherein the chamber is adjacent to and not communicating with the moving space; and a massage member connected to the driving member in a transmission way. The massage member is swingable in a lateral direction of the shell, wherein when the massage member swings, a portion of the massage member is reciprocating to at least a first position inside the moving space of the shell and at least a second position in the outside environment out of the outer lateral surface of the shell.

Claims (16)

1. A massage device, comprising:

a shell configured to be inserted into a vagina along an insertion direction, a lateral wall of the shell concaved inwardly and laterally relative to an outer lateral surface of the shell to define a moving space, the moving space communicating with an outside environment out of the outer lateral surface of the shell, wherein the lateral wall extends along the insertion direction of the shell;

a driving member arranged in a chamber of the shell, wherein the chamber is adjacent to and not communicating with the moving space, the driving member configured to drive an eccentric driving shaft, the shell comprising a first inner surface that formed an opening, the opening is positioned between the moving space and the chamber; and

a massage member connected to the driving member in a transmission way, the massage member being swingable in a lateral direction of the shell under the driving of the driving member, wherein when the massage member swings, a first end portion of the massage member is reciprocating to at least a first position inside the moving space of the shell and at least a second position in the outside environment out of the outer lateral surface of the shell, wherein the massage member comprises an elongated soft cover and an elongated hard core, the elongated soft cover is curved upward along a length of the elongated soft cover, the elongated soft cover comprises an upward facing concave curved surface extending along the length of the elongated soft cover, the elongated soft cover comprises the first end portion and a second end portion that is opposite from the first end portion, the second end portion of the elongated soft cover is configured to receive a first end portion of the elongated hard core, the elongated hard core defines a groove at a second end portion of the elongated hard core, the groove is configured to receive the eccentric driving shaft, and wherein the second end portion of the elongated soft cover extends from the moving space through the opening and into the chamber and the second end portion of the elongated soft cover is configured to abut the first inner surface that formed the opening.

2. The massage device according to claim 1 , further comprising a stimulation member arranged in a second chamber of the shell which is not communicating with the moving space, wherein the chamber and the second chamber are defined by a second inner surface of the shell that is interior to the outer lateral surface of the shell.

3. The massage device according to claim 2 , wherein the stimulation member is a vibration motor.

4. The massage device according to claim 2 , wherein the second chamber is defined at an end of the shell which is configured to be inserted into the vagina during in use.

5. The massage device according to claim 4 , wherein the moving space is located between the stimulation member and the driving member along the insertion direction of the shell.

6. The massage device according to claim 2 , wherein the second chamber is defined in a branch of the shell, wherein the branch extends curvedly from a rear end of the moving space of the shell to an upper side of the shell, the branch is configured to be located outside of the vagina and the stimulation member arranged in the second chamber is configured to generate vibration effect to a clitoris during use.

7. The massage device according to claim 1 , wherein the moving space extends through the outer lateral wall along a swing direction of the massage member, the massage member is substantially perpendicular to the insertion direction of the shell, and two openings are defined in two opposite sides of the outer lateral surface of the shell, respectively, and wherein when the massage member swings, the portion of the massage member reciprocates in three different positions, the three different positions comprise the first position inside the moving space of the shell, the second position in the outside environment out of the outer lateral surface of the shell via a first opening of the two openings, and a third position out of the outer lateral surface of the shell via a second opening of the two openings.

8. The massage device according to claim 1 , wherein a thickness of the massage member in the lateral direction of the shell is less than a depth of the moving space in the lateral direction of the shell.

9. The massage device according to claim 8 , wherein a shape of the massage member is different from that of the moving space, and a gap is defined between an outer surface of the massage member and a surface of the shell surrounding the moving space, wherein a width of the gap changes along a circumferential direction.

10. The massage device according to claim 1 , wherein the moving space is defined at a middle portion of the shell and is closed along a circumferential direction.

11. The massage device according to claim 1 , wherein a plurality of bulges are formed on an outer surface of the massage member.

12. The massage device according to claim 1 , wherein the driving member comprises a rotary motor, and a cam comprising the eccentric shaft, the cam is connected between the rotary motor and the massage member, the hard core is rotatably connected to the shell, and the cam is movably connected to the hard core.

13. The massage device according to claim 12 , wherein the groove is configured such that movement of the eccentric driving shaft along a swinging direction of the massage member is limited, and movement of the eccentric driving shaft along a direction perpendicular to the swinging direction of the massage member is allowed.
