Abstract

The present disclosure is for an oral sensory device. The oral sensory device of the present disclosure includes internal components for operating a vibratory motor therein. The internal components are fully encapsulated by a coating. The internal components are inaccessible through the coating. The coating may be a food grade material. More specifically, the coating may be a food grade silicone.

Claims (19)

1 . An oral sensory device comprising:

a coating fully encapsulating a vibratory motor, an inductive charger, a pressure switch, a wireless rechargeable battery, and connections therebetween;

wherein power is provided to the vibratory motor from the wireless rechargeable battery;

wherein operation of the vibratory motor is controlled by the pressure switch, the pressure switch requiring a constant pressure be maintained for the operation of the vibratory motor;

wherein the wireless rechargeable battery is charged by the inductive charger; and

wherein the vibratory motor, the inductive charger, the pressure switch, the wireless rechargeable battery, and the connections therebetween are inaccessible through the coating.

2 . The oral sensory device of claim 1 , wherein the coating is a food grade or medical grade coating.

3 . The oral sensory device of claim 2 , wherein the coating is silicone.

4 . The oral sensory device of claim 1 , wherein the coating seals the vibratory motor, the inductive charger, the pressure switch, and the wireless rechargeable battery therein.

5 . The oral sensory device of claim 1 , wherein no penetrations, seams, or openings are provided in the coating.

6 . The oral sensory device of claim 1 , wherein the coating forms a waterproof barrier about the vibratory motor, the inductive charger, the pressure switch, and the wireless rechargeable battery.

7 . The oral sensory device of claim 1 , wherein the pressure switch is operated by squeezing and depressing the coating overtop two opposing engaging surfaces of the pressure switch.

8 . The oral sensory device of claim 1 , wherein no removable components are present on the oral sensory device.

9 . The oral sensory device of claim 1 , wherein a handle does not extend from the oral sensory device.

10 . The oral sensory device of claim 1 , wherein the pressure switch is a force resisting sensor.

11 . The oral sensory device of claim 1 , wherein an exterior of the oral sensory device is entirely the coating.

12 . The oral sensory device of claim 1 , wherein the oral sensory device is symmetrical along at least two axes.

13 . The oral sensory device of claim 1 , wherein the operation of the vibratory motor is deactivated upon release of the constant pressure on the pressure switch.

14 . The oral sensory device of claim 1 , wherein the operation of the vibratory motor is variably controlled by applying a varying intensity of pressure to the pressure switch.
