Abstract

The invention relates to a stimulation device (1) for erogenous zones, in particular for the clitoris (12), wherein the stimulation device (1) has the following: at least one pressure field generating arrangement (2) with at least one first chamber (3) and at least one second chamber (4) having at least one opening (42) for placing on a body part (11); at least one connection element (5) that connects the first chamber (3) to the second chamber (4); a drive unit (6) that varies the volume of the first chamber (3) such that a pressure field that serves for stimulation is generated via the connection element (5) in the second chamber (4); a control device (7) that activates the drive unit (6), and an appendage (140).

Claims

1. A stimulation device for erogenous zones, comprising:

at least one pressure field generating arrangement with;

at least one first chamber;

at least one second chamber having at least one opening for placing on a body part; and

at least one connection element that connects the at least one first chamber to the at least one second chamber;

a drive unit that varies the volume of the at least one first chamber such that a stimulating pressure field is generated via the at least one connection element in the at least one second chamber;

a control device that activates the drive unit; and

an appendage;

wherein the stimulating pressure field generated in the at least one second chamber comprises a pattern of negative and positive pressures, modulated onto with respect to a reference pressure;

wherein the at least one first chamber is connected to the at least one second chamber solely by the at least one connection element, and

wherein the appendage is a dildo configured to be inserted into a vagina.

2. The stimulation device as claimed in claim 1, wherein

at least one opening of the at least one connection element is opposite the body part to be stimulated and is directed towards the body part to be stimulated.

3. The stimulation device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the at least one second chamber is at least one of:

a flexible material,

a transparent material, or

fitted to the shape of a vaginal labia minora such that the vaginal labia minora is completely covered by the opening of the at least one second chamber.

4. The stimulation device as claimed in claim 1, wherein

the at least one second chamber is made in one piece with the at least one connection element and the at least one first chamber.

5. The stimulation device as claimed in claim 1, wherein

the at least one second chamber of the stimulation device is arranged to be replaceable.

6. The stimulation device as claimed in claim 1, wherein

the at least one second chamber is arranged separately from the stimulation device;

and

the at least one connection element is a hose or tube.

7. The stimulation device as claimed in claim 1, wherein

the at least one second chamber has a sealing support part for enlarging a contact surface of the at least one second chamber on skin.

8. The stimulation device as claimed in claim 1, wherein

the respective modulation of the stimulating pressure field may be changed by means of an operating element.

9. The stimulation device as claimed in claim 1, wherein

the stimulation device has a light for lighting the at least one second chamber.

10. The stimulation device as claimed in claim 1, wherein

the at least one connection element has an internal shape and an opening to the at least one second chamber that provide a form such that the stimulating pressure field is modulated in direction and intensity.

11. The stimulation device as claimed in claim 1, wherein

the stimulation device is a hand-held device.

12. The stimulation device as claimed in claim 1, wherein

the appendage is mounted on a housing to be movable.

13. The stimulation device as claimed in claim 1, wherein

the appendage is connected to a section of a housing that accommodates the at least one pressure field generating arrangement via a joint.

14. The stimulation device as claimed in claim 1, wherein

the appendage is a stimulation aid for insertion into a human body.

15. The stimulation device as claimed in claim 1, wherein

the appendage has a vibration device.

16. The stimulation device as claimed in claim 1, wherein

the appendage is mounted on a section of a housing that accommodates the at least one pressure field generating arrangement such that the housing of the stimulation device is unitary in form.

17. The stimulation device as claimed in claim 1, wherein

the stimulation device is configured in size, movability and shape to fit a female anatomy such that the at least one pressure field generating arrangement is configured to indirectly stimulate a clitoris of a woman while the appendage is configured to simultaneously be inserted into a vagina of the woman.

18. The stimulation device as claimed in claim 1, wherein

the appendage is a handle for holding the stimulation device.

19. The stimulation device as claimed in claim 1, wherein

the appendage is an elongate lens-shaped body configured to be inserted into the vagina.

20. A system comprising:

a stimulation device comprising;

at least one pressure field generating arrangement with;

at least one first chamber;

at least one second chamber having at least one opening for placing on a body part; and

at least one connection element that connects the at least one first chamber to the at least one second chamber;

a drive unit that varies the volume of the at least one first chamber such that a stimulating pressure field is generated via the at least one connection element in the at least one second chamber;

a control device that activates the drive unit; and

an appendage; and

a remote control device, arranged separately from the stimulation device, for remotely controlling the stimulation device;

wherein the stimulating pressure field generated in the at least one second chamber comprises a pattern of negative and positive pressures, modulated with respect to a reference pressure;

wherein the at least one first chamber is connected to the at least one second chamber solely by the at least one connection element; and

wherein the appendage is a dildo configured to be inserted into a vagina.

21. A method for stimulating erogenous zones for sexual pleasure, comprising:

inserting an appendage of a stimulation device into a vagina;

forming, by a pressure field generating arrangement of the stimulation device, a pressure field directed towards a body part; and

modulating, by a drive unit of the stimulation device interacting with the pressure field generating arrangement, the pressure field in a pattern of negative and positive pressures with respect to a reference pressure.

22. The method for stimulating erogenous zones as claimed in claim 21, wherein

a stimulation effect is individually influenced by modulating the pressure field by means of an operating element.

23. The method for stimulating erogenous zones as claimed in claim 21, wherein

the modulating is pulsed.

24. The method for stimulating erogenous zones as claimed in claim 21, further comprising:

placing a chamber of the pressure field generating arrangement over the body part.

25. The method for stimulating erogenous zones as claimed in claim 21, wherein

the appendage vibrates after insertion.

26. The method for stimulating erogenous zones as claimed in claim 21, wherein the body part is a clitoris.
