Abstract

The present invention relates to vibrating devices for applying vibrations to body parts, particularly for female stimulation, and more particularly to the field of sexual stimulation of the clitoris. One embodiment is a device for applying vibration to a body part of a user, the device comprising: a vibrator mechanism; and, a body enclosing the vibrator mechanism, wherein the body comprises a first portion and a second portion; wherein the body and the vibrator mechanism are configured to allow the first portion to provide a first vibratory sensation to the user when the first portion is applied to the body part; and, wherein the body and the vibrator mechanism are configured to allow the second portion to provide a second vibratory sensation to the user when the second portion is applied to the body part.

Claims

1. A device for stimulation of a body part of a user, the device comprising:

a vibrator mechanism;

a body enclosing the vibrator mechanism, wherein the body includes a neck; and

,

a tether, wherein the tether includes a band, wherein the tether is attached to the body;

wherein the body and the tether are configured to allow fingers of the user to engage the neck while the fingers are inserted through the band for stability and control of the device when the body is applied to the body part of the user;

wherein the body further comprises a fastening mechanism;

wherein the tether further comprises an attachment mechanism; and

,

wherein the attachment mechanism and the fastening mechanism are configured to allow the body to rotate relative to the tether without detaching the body from the tether.

2. The device of claim 1, wherein the body further comprises a first portion and a second portion;

and,

wherein the body and the vibrator mechanism are configured to allow the first portion to provide a first sensation to the user when the first portion is applied to the body part; and

, wherein the body and the vibrator mechanism are configured to allow the second portion to provide a second sensation to the user when the second portion is applied to the body part;

wherein when the body is attached to the tether, the attachment mechanism and the fastening mechanism are configured to allow the body to be securely maintained in a first orientation relative to the tether to allow the user to apply the first portion to the body part;

wherein when the body is attached to the tether, the attachment mechanism and the fastening mechanism are configured to allow the body to be securely maintained in a second orientation relative to the tether to allow the user to apply the second portion to the body part; and

,

wherein the attachment mechanism and the fastening mechanism are configured to allow the user to rotate the body from the first orientation to the second orientation.

3. The device of claim 1, further comprising:

a controller;

a power source; and

,

a user control, wherein the controller is in communication with the vibrator mechanism;

wherein the vibrator mechanism comprises a motor;

wherein in the power source provides electrical power for the vibrator mechanism; and

,

wherein the user control is in communication with the controller, and wherein the user control allows the user to control the vibrator mechanism.

4. The device of claim 3 further comprising a charging circuit, wherein the charging circuit is in communication with the controller and the power source;

and, wherein the charging circuit allows the power source to be charged when the charging circuit is coupled to an external power source.

5. The device of claim 4, wherein the charging circuit is coupled to the external power source wirelessly.

6. A device for applying vibration to a body part of a user, the device comprising:

a vibrator mechanism;

a body enclosing the vibrator mechanism, wherein the body comprises a fastening mechanism, a first portion, and a second portion; and

,

a tether, wherein the tether comprises a band and an attachment mechanism;

wherein the body and the vibrator mechanism are configured to allow the first portion to provide a first vibratory sensation to the user when the first portion is applied to the body part; and

, wherein the body and the vibrator mechanism are configured to allow the second portion to provide a second vibratory sensation to the user when the second portion is applied to the body part;

wherein the attachment mechanism and the fastening mechanism are configured to allow the tether to be removably attached to the body;

wherein the attachment mechanism and the fastening mechanism are further configured to allow the user to rotate the body relative to the tether without detaching the tether from the body;

wherein the attachment mechanism and the fastening mechanism are further configured to allow the body to be securely maintained in a first orientation relative to the tether; and

, wherein the attachment mechanism and the fastening mechanism are configured to allow the body to be securely maintained in a second orientation relative to the tether; and

,

wherein the tether and the body are further configured to allow the user to apply the first portion to the body part when the body is in the first orientation relative to the tether; and

wherein the tether and the body are further configured to allow the user to apply the second portion to the body part when the body is in the second orientation relative to the tether.

7. The device of claim 6, wherein the body further comprises a neck, wherein the body and tether are configured to allow fingers of the user to engage the neck while the fingers are inserted through the band when the body is in the first orientation;

and, wherein the body and tether are configured to allow fingers of the user to engage the neck while the fingers are inserted through the band when the body is in the second orientation relative to the tether.

8. The device of claim 6, wherein the fastening mechanism comprises a base and a head;

wherein the attachment mechanism comprises an aperture; and

,

wherein the attachment mechanism and the fastening mechanism are configured to allow the tether to be removably attached to the body by inserting the fastening mechanism in the aperture to allow the aperture to engage the base.

9. The device of claim 8, wherein the base comprises a cross section;

wherein the aperture and the cross section of the base have substantially similar shapes and substantially similar sizes; and

,

wherein when the body is positioned in the first orientation and in the second orientation the aperture and the cross section of the base are aligned and similarly oriented.

10. The device of claim 9, wherein the shapes of the cross section of the base and of the aperture are elliptical.

11. The device of claim 9, wherein the shapes of the cross section of the base and of the aperture are polygonal.

12. The device of claim 7, wherein the body part is a clitoris, and, wherein the body and the tether are configured to allow a female user to use the device while the user'"'"'s arms and fingers are in natural orientation.
