Abstract

A remote-controllable wearable massager for couples including a first arm, a second arm, and a connecting member coupling the first arm to the second arm provides massaging motion for a user and can be used by the user during sexual intercourse with a partner. During operation, the first arm of the massager is inserted into the user'"'"'s vagina and the second arm rests on the region near the user'"'"'s clitoris. The connecting member is configurable such that the user can flexibly adjust the distance between the first arm and the second arm of the massager to allow for insertion of the first arm into a vagina, and rigid enough to forcibly compress the first arm towards the second arm, allowing the massager to be worn as a clip. During operation, the distal end of the first arm rotates about the intersection between the first arm and the connecting member.

Claims

1. A hands-free massager, comprising:

a first arm structured for insertion into a vagina, the first arm comprising one or more motors configured to cause a distal end of the first arm to rotate in an orbit around an axis substantially perpendicular to a cross-section of a proximal end of the first arm in an operating mode, the first arm tapering in width from a first width at the distal end of the first arm to a second width at the proximal end, the second width comprising a smaller width than the first width;

a second arm shorter in length than the first arm and comprising;

a partial oblate spheroid base comprising an oblate spheroid of which a portion has been flattened,

an outer face on the partial oblate spheroid base, the outer face having an outer edge,

a recess formed between the outer edge of the outer face and the flattened portion of the partial oblate spheroid base,

one or more batteries within the second arm, and

a power connector interface electronically coupled to the one or more batteries, the second arm configured to vibrate in the operating mode and structured for contact with a clitoris when the distal end of the first arm is inserted into a vagina; and

a connecting member comprising a curved shape and coupled to the proximal end of the first arm and a proximal end of the second arm, the connecting member comprising a smaller width than the second width of the proximal end of the first arm and a width of the second arm.

2. The hands-free massager of claim 1, wherein the first arm is configured to vibrate in the operating mode.

3. The hands-free massager of claim 2, wherein the vibration of the first arm comprises one of a selectable plurality of vibration patterns.

4. The hands-free massager of claim 1, wherein the vibration of the second arm comprises one of a selectable plurality of vibration patterns.

5. The hands-free massager of claim 1, wherein the connecting member is configurable into a plurality of curved shapes.

6. The hands-free massager of claim 1, wherein the hands-free massager is configured to receive instructions for the operating mode from a remote controller communicatively coupled to the hands-free massager.

7. The hands-free massager of claim 1, wherein a width of the partial oblate spheroid base is between 4-6 cm.

8. The hands-free massager of claim 1, wherein an outer surface of the outer face and a surface of the flattened portion of the partial oblate spheroid base on which the outer face is mounted are substantially parallel.

9. The hands-free massager of claim 1, wherein the recess is along a circumference of the outer edge of the outer face.

10. The hands-free massager of claim 1, wherein the outer face is mounted and recessed into the flattened portion of the partial oblate spheroid base such that the flattened portion has an edge around the outer face, and wherein the recess is formed between the edge of the flattened portion and the outer edge of the outer face.

11. The hands-free massager of claim 1, wherein the outer face is circular in shape with a center portion raised relative to the outer edge.

12. A hands-free massager, comprising:

a first arm structured for insertion into a vagina, the first arm comprising one or more motors configured to cause a distal end of the first arm to rotate in an orbit around an axis substantially perpendicular to a cross-section of a proximal end of the first arm in an operating mode;

a second arm comprising;

a partial oblate spheroid base comprising an oblate spheroid of which a portion has been flattened,

an outer face on the partial oblate spheroid base, the outer face having an outer edge,

a recess formed between the outer edge of the outer face and the flattened portion of the partial oblate spheroid base,

the second arm configured to vibrate in the operating mode and structured for contact with a clitoris when the distal end of the first arm is inserted into a vagina; and

a connecting member coupled to the proximal end of the first arm and a proximal end of the second arm, wherein the connecting member comprises a smaller width than a width of the first arm and a width of the second arm.

13. The hands-free massager of claim 12, wherein the first arm is configured to vibrate in the operating mode, the vibration of the first arm comprising one of a selectable plurality of vibration patterns.

14. The hands-free massager of claim 12, wherein the first arm tapers in width from a first width at the distal end of the first arm to a second width at the proximal end, the second width comprising a smaller width than the first width.

15. The hands-free massager of claim 12, wherein the vibration of the second arm comprises one of a selectable plurality of vibration patterns.

16. The hands-free massager of claim 12, wherein the connecting member is configurable into a plurality of curved shapes.

17. A hands-free massager, comprising:

a first arm structured for insertion into a vagina, the first arm comprising one or more motors configured to cause a distal end of the first arm to rotate in an orbit around an axis substantially perpendicular to a cross-section of a proximal end of the first arm;

a second arm comprising;

an oblate spheroid base, and

an outer face recessed into the oblate spheroid base and facing away from the first arm, the second arm configured to vibrate and structured for contact with a clitoris when the distal end of the first arm is inserted into a vagina; and

a connecting member coupled to a proximal end of the first arm and a proximal end of the second arm, wherein the connecting member comprises a smaller circumference than a circumference of the first arm and a circumference of the second arm.

18. The hands-free massager of claim 17, wherein the outer face is recessed into the oblate spheroid such that a portion of the oblate spheroid is flattened.
