Finger sleeve for sexual stimulation
View Patent ↗A finger sleeve for use a sexual stimulation device includes an elongated body having a distal portion including a cavity configured to accept a fingernail of a user.
1 . A finger sleeve, comprising:
a body having,
a canal for holding a finger, the canal having an opening at one end and a head at a second end opposite of the opening;
a solid barrier located at the second end of the canal, the solid barrier being configured to meet a tip of the finger as an abutment to confine the finger inside the canal; and
a fingernail cavity extending from the canal over the solid barrier to hold a protruding fingernail of the finger, the solid barrier including a surface with a shape that supports a structure of the canal and the fingernail cavity, the barrier being integral to the shape and size of the fingernail cavity; and
an external layer encasing the body, the canal, the solid barrier and the fingernail cavity.
2 . The finger sleeve of claim 1 , wherein the shape of the surface of the solid barrier includes one or more arches and is configured to contact the tip of the finger.
3 . The finger sleeve of claim 1 , wherein the external layer forms a wall of the canal or is an additional layer of material surrounding the canal.
4 . The finger sleeve of claim 3 , further comprising:
one or more protrusions, textures, or perforations on the external layer.
5 . The finger sleeve of claim 1 , wherein the canal, solid barrier, and fingernail cavity are formed of silicone.
6 . The finger sleeve of claim 1 , wherein the canal is configured to grip the finger so as to remain stationary during movement of sexual penetration.
7 . The finger sleeve of claim 1 , wherein the finger sleeve is clear.
8 . The finger sleeve of claim 1 , wherein the finger sleeve is colored.
9 . The finger sleeve of claim 1 , wherein the finger sleeve is glow in the dark.
10 . A sexual aid device, comprising:
an elongated body having an outer surface, a proximal end, a distal end, and a longitudinal axis extending from the proximal end to the distal end;
an opening at the proximal end configured to accept a finger;
an abutment located at the distal end configured to abut a tip of the finger to confine the finger inside the elongated body, the abutment including a surface with a shape that supports a structure of the elongated body and a recess;
a recess configured to receive a protruding fingernail, the recess being offset from the longitudinal axis and extending over the abutment, the abutment being integral to a shape and size of the recess; and
an external layer encasing the elongated body, the abutment, and the recess.
11 . The sexual aid device of claim 10 , further comprising one or more projections, protrusions, knobs, bumps, rings, perforations, recesses, or textures.
12 . The sexual aid device of claim 10 , wherein a diameter of the elongated body is in the range of 1 cm to 3 cm.
13 . The sexual aid device of claim 10 , wherein the elongated body has a length from the proximal end to the distal end in a range of 5 cm-15 cm.
14 . The sexual aid device of claim 10 , wherein the recess has a length of 1 cm to 4 cm.
15 . The sexual aid device of claim 10 , further comprising:
a power source; and
a switch to control a stimulation element, wherein the stimulation element is one of a vibratory device, a heat generating device, or a sound output device.
16 . The sexual aid device of claim 10 , wherein the outer surface of the elongated body has a first diameter at one location and a second diameter at a second location, the second diameter being different than the first diameter.
17 . The sexual aid device of claim 10 , wherein the elongated body is formed of silicone.
18 . The sexual aid device of claim 10 , wherein the elongated body is flexible.
19 . The sexual aid device of claim 10 , wherein elongated body has a first flexible portion and a second rigid portion.
20 . A method of sexual penetration, comprising:
inserting a finger into a sleeve having a canal for holding the finger, the canal having an opening at one end and a head at a second end opposite of the opening;
contacting a barrier located at the second end of the canal with a tip of the finger to confine the finger inside the canal, the barrier including a surface with a shape that supports a structure of the canal and a fingernail recess;
placing a fingernail protruding beyond the tip of the finger in a fingernail recess, the fingernail recess extending from the canal over the barrier, the barrier being integral to a shape and size of the fingernail recess; and
inserting the sleeve into a body orifice,
wherein the sleeve includes an external layer encasing the canal, the barrier, and the fingernail recess.
