Abstract

An example sexual stimulation device includes a drive module, a stimulating element, a fulcrum, and a compliant member. The stimulating element has a first end coupled to the drive module in a manner such that the first end of the stimulating element moves along a first path when the drive module is operated. The stimulating element also has a second end opposite the first end. The fulcrum is disposed at a first point along an extension of the stimulating element such that the stimulating element pivots about the first point and the second end of the stimulating element translates according to a second path. The compliant member is coupled to the second end of the stimulating element.

Claims (26)

1. A sexual stimulation device comprising:

a drive module comprising one or more motors;

a coupling element coupled to the drive module along a rotational axis of the drive module, the coupling element comprising:

a mounting point that is off-set from the rotational axis of the drive module, and

a cavity having an opening wider than an opening of the mounting point, the cavity being off-set from the rotational axis of the drive module;

a stimulating element comprising:

a first end coupled to the mounting point of the coupling element in a manner such that the first end of the stimulating element moves within the cavity of the coupling element and along a first path when the drive module is operated, and

a second end opposite the first end;

a fulcrum disposed at a first point along an extension of the stimulating element such that the stimulating element pivots about the first point and the second end of the stimulating element translates according to a second path; and

a compliant member comprising a compliant material and coupled to the second end of the stimulating element.

2. The sexual stimulation device of claim 1 , wherein the first path and the second path are both generally circular.

3. The sexual stimulation device of claim 1 , wherein the first path is generally circular and the second path is generally elliptical.

4. The sexual stimulation device of claim 1 , wherein the first path is generally circular and the second path is generally linear.

5. The sexual stimulation device of claim 1 , wherein the compliant member comprises a sheath.

6. The sexual stimulation device of claim 1 , wherein the compliant member comprises a housing.

7. The sexual stimulation device of claim 6 , wherein the fulcrum comprise an annular groove to provide a mounting point for fixing the fulcrum to the housing.

8. The sexual stimulation device of claim 1 , wherein the second path has a radius in a range between 0.5 mm to 2.5 mm.

9. The sexual stimulation device of claim 1 , wherein the second end of the stimulating element moves along the second path at a frequency in a range between 1000 Hz and 9000 Hz.

10. The sexual stimulation device of claim 1 , wherein the fulcrum defines an aperture, and wherein the stimulating element extends through the aperture of the fulcrum.

11. The sexual stimulation device of claim 1 , wherein a distance between the first point and the first end of the stimulating element is approximately equal to a distance between the first point and the second end of the stimulating element.

12. The sexual stimulation device of claim 1 , wherein a distance between the first point and the first end of the stimulating element is shorter than a distance between the first point and the second end of the stimulating element.

13. The sexual stimulation device of claim 1 , wherein a distance between the first point and the first end of the stimulating element is longer than a distance between the first point and the second end of the stimulating element.

14. The sexual stimulation device of claim 1 , wherein the stimulating element comprises a rod extending in a single dimension.

15. The sexual stimulation device of claim 1 , wherein the stimulating element comprises a rod having at least one bend.

16. The sexual stimulation device of claim 1 , where the stimulating element has a diameter in a range between 0.5 mm and 7 mm.

17. The sexual stimulation device of claim 1 , wherein the fulcrum comprises two notches surrounding an aperture, each of the notches having a diameter larger than a diameter of the aperture to allow the stimulating element to pivot about the fulcrum.
