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, having 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;

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

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 normal pressure; and

wherein the at least one first chamber is connected exclusively to the at least one second chamber via the at least one connection element.

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 made of a flexible material and/or of an at least partially transparent material and/or is adapted 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 7, 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 adapted in size, movability and shape to a female anatomy such that the at least one pressure field generating arrangement can indirectly stimulate a clitoris of a woman while the appendage can simultaneously be inserted into a vagina of the woman.

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

the appendage takes a form such that it can serve as 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 which is adapted such that the appendage can be inserted into a vagina.

20. A system comprising:

the stimulation device as claimed in claim 1; and

a remote control device arranged separately from the stimulation device,

wherein the control device of the stimulation device can be remotely controlled by the remote control device.

24. A method for stimulating erogenous zones for sexual pleasure and not for medical therapy, with the stimulation device as claimed in claim 1, comprising the following steps:

inserting the appendage into a human body;

placing the second chamber over the body part;

forming a pressure field directed towards the body part; and

modulating the stimulating pressure field in a pattern of negative and positive pressures with respect to a normal pressure.

26. Use of the stimulation device as claimed in claim 1 as a sex toy for stimulating a female clitoris.

21. A method for stimulating erogenous zones for sexual pleasure and not for medical therapy, comprising the following steps:

inserting an appendage into a human body;

forming a pressure field directed towards a body part; and

modulating the pressure field in a pattern of negative and positive pressures with respect to a normal 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.

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

the appendage vibrates after insertion.
