Technical Field

The present invention relates to the field of portable hydrotherapy stimulation devices for massaging treatment of the labia of female users, wherein: a method of circulating water within a small water reservoir such as a spa, basin or tub is used to produce the desired effect.

Background

A variety of mechanical stimulation devices and a limited number of hydrotherapy devices are known in the art to effect a massage on the body to facilitate pressure relief and relaxation. Known to those skilled in the art: direct stimulation of the typical female clitoris will lead to orgasm throughout the body, and a plethora of devices have been developed for this purpose. Mechanical vibration stimulation devices are diverse and can be used to massage all parts of the human body to achieve soothing relaxation of local musculature and to concentrate a focused effect on the stimulation point of the female user's clitoris. General systemic treatment is achieved by using a spa and whirlpool bath, wherein: a plurality of water jets are placed in the water filled tub frame around the user, allowing the water to be circulated, heated and aerated. Water pressure pulsating devices fluidly connected to an external water source or a circulating water source are used in showers, bathtubs, whirlpools and personal spas to achieve similar but deeper massages than vibratory devices. Some of these personal spas use a hand-held topical massage method as an option.

Many recent personal spas and whirlpools have evolved in shape and design to provide a contoured comfortable seating unit with generally positioned hydro jets to provide stimulation of predetermined points of human anatomy such as the back, neck, legs, feet and pelvic region.

U.S. patent 5,920,923 to Jillette teaches hydraulic clitoral stimulation in combination with a fixed whirlpool bathtub environment. As taught by Jillette, and similar to the present invention, the entrained air in the water allows for stimulation of the female genitalia. However, the unit taught by Jillette is not portable and is costly to purchase, install and maintain. Furthermore, Jillette does not teach a method or device that allows for fixed placement in combination with fine control of air-water flow during stimulation.

U.S. patent 5,077,841 to Sugai uses a portable self-contained pump unit that is configured to circulate water in a bathtub. The discharge port of the pump unit uses a hydro jet, and when the user positions himself near the discharge port of the device, the mixture of entrained air is directed to the target point to effect a localized massage. A rechargeable battery is used to power the pump unit. A plurality of discharge passages are used to allow the user to select the type of water flow out of the apparatus. The housing is temporarily attached to the tub wall.

U.S. patent 4,924,535 issued to Yamasaki is based on the same principles as the Sugai patent discussed above and uses an external power source. Yamasaki requires a fixed mounting that is not easily positioned in the tub and allows only limited adjustment by the user. Yamasaki is not suitable for achieving variable local stimulation sought by the user. In addition, Yamasaki does not teach a direct or indirect control method. Furthermore, Yamasaki does not teach any engagement surface that allows placement between the user's legs.

U.S. Pat. No. 4,123,808 issued to Guarrera teaches a general area cleaning system using water without aeration. To use the system, the user most permanently mounts the chair to the bathtub. Furthermore, during cleaning, the user is not in contact with the nozzle or structure directing water to the cleaning area, thereby limiting the user's control of the air flow over his body.

U.S. patent 3,902,200 to Pratt also teaches a general area cleaning system known as "Sitz" which also uses unaerated water. To use the system taught by Pratt, the user must sit immobile in a curved chair located in a bathtub. Pratt does not teach a method or apparatus for adjusting the direction of the cleaning water. Pratt does not teach a method or device that allows for incorporation between the user's legs or more comfortable access to the front region of use.

U.S. patent 4,100,917 to Talge et al ("Talge") teaches a portable water circulation device that is mounted on the side of the tub to supply a water-air mixture in a general area on the bottom of the tub. Alternative hand held devices connected by hoses to units capable of reaching more specific target areas are also taught. Talge does not teach means for removably securing an optionally handheld device to a tub wall.

U.S. patent 5,807,289 is a portable hand-held hydro massage device for use in water and focused stimulation of a user's body parts. As disclosed, this patent does not teach an apparatus or method that allows for a rotationally fixed mounting at the bottom of the device.

The prior art disclosed and discussed above shows that: a deficiency in the teachings required for hydrotherapy stimulation of the pudendal and surrounding areas of women. The prior art fails to teach a deterministic control of the stimulation flow. The prior art fails to teach a device or method that provides both comfort and stimulation to a user. The prior art also fails to teach a device or method that allows for control of the stimulation stream by engagement between the device and the user's lower body. A common problem associated with the above-mentioned problems of the prior art is the lack of individual control and control options available to the user. Thus, the lack of such teachings to date has limited the effectiveness of stimulating the user with water.

Disclosure of Invention

The techniques described herein overcome the deficiencies of the prior art. The apparatus disclosed and described herein addresses the weaknesses found in the prior art and improves the hydrotherapy stimulation device by providing a small mobile device that can be placed in any shallow contained bathing area such as a spa, pool or tub. Although mobile, the device can still be fixed to the water container wall. The combination of detachability and fixity allows the user to find a comfortable spatial relationship between the apparatus, the user and the user's position in the contained bathing area and maintain that position. After establishing and fixing this relationship, the user may use the side engagement surfaces of the apparatus to position the device between the user's legs at a high level of comfort, as determined by the user. The user can then also directly control the water flow, and thus the treatment area, at a fine level during stimulation. Since treatment and stimulation are dynamic processes, direct and indirect control of the surface allows the user to find the optimal stimulation zone and stimulation rate for a particular user at a particular time.

A portable pump unit contained within the housing is designed to receive the female pelvic region and simultaneously direct a focused pulse of aerated water at the female pelvic region. When immersed in an enclosed body of water containing a female user, i.e., a bathtub, the portable hydro massage device provides a localized massage of the labial area and a focused stimulation of the female user's clitoris, resulting in a better sensation to the entire body, promoting an overall euphoric state and calming effect. The device uses a saddle-shaped housing for placement of the buttocks, and a saddle horn for controlling the central stimulus. The hydro jet is disposed within the mid-region of the saddle horn with a drive flow from a circulating water pump that pumps the main body of water. The hydro jet is adjustable in pressure and provides a means of aeration of the discharged water, allowing for a rhythmic pulsating effect. The saddle horn may be grasped and the lower body positioned as needed to focus the discharged water from the hydro jet to the desired point in the pelvic region.

The climatic effect is superior to typical mechanical vibration devices and the aforementioned hydrotherapy devices. When operated, the female user controls the unit to vary the angle and intensity of the water flow and optionally sits or leans in a resting position with the legs extended or brought into proximity with the body. The device is portable and can be moved to different locations. A removable fastening base fixed to the bottom of the tub is required to allow moderate pressure from the user's pelvis to be applied to the unit. It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a hydrotherapy and stimulation method and apparatus that allows for fixable attachment within a self-contained bathing area.

It is another object of the present invention to provide comfortable access between the user's legs without the device directly engaging the user's vaginal area. It is another object of the present invention to provide utility for localized, focused stimulation of the female user's sexually acceptable labial area without the need to penetrate the vaginal opening to achieve the desired effect.

It is another object of the present invention to combine the proximity of the discharge nozzle to the labial area with an adjustable discharge flow trajectory for user stimulation and "hands-free" adjustment. The inventors have recognized the need to fine-tune the discharge nozzle at critical times and mental focus can be interrupted when the hand obstructs the discharge flow or the device has to be removed from the body for adjustment.

It is another object of the present invention to allow indirect adjustment of the discharge flow trajectory with minimal variation in discharge flow intensity by moving the housing in which the discharge nozzle is mounted.

Detailed Description

Referring to fig. 1, the hydromassage apparatus is operative when immersed in a body of water 13, such as the body of water 13 contained in a standard tub 14. The hydromassage apparatus comprises: the saddle 1, a partial seat, serves as a floodable enclosure for the internal components and provides support for a variably disposed elongated protrusion from the front of the saddle, referred to herein before as saddle horn 2. The front axle 2 is a handle that a user can hold for directional control of the device and that can be formed into many shapes as a comfortable grip for the user. Said saddle 1 is formed with a concave contoured ramp, gradually sloping from the rear of said saddle up to the front of said saddle at the base of said horn 2, to ribbing the user's pelvic region near said horn 2 and to use the weight of the user as a base to anchor the device to the bottom of the bathtub 14. The saddle 1 uses a skid foot 3 to prevent forward movement of the apparatus when a user is riding on the apparatus. Said saddle 1 accommodates: a circulating water pumping unit 4; and an electrical conductor 5 to feed low voltage DC power from a conventional external AC to DC power supply 15 to the pump unit 4. A switchable controller 16 is connected by the power supply conductor 5 to enable a user to switch the pump unit 4 on or off. In another embodiment, a waterproof electrical switch may be used in the device to allow a user to turn the device off and on, and a sealed rechargeable battery may be used within the saddle housing to provide the power required to operate the pump unit 4. With reference to fig. 1 and 5, the pump unit 4 comprises a direct current motor connected to a centrifugal pump capable of operating submerged in water, the pump unit 4 being conventional to a person skilled in the art. The pump unit 4 has a suction inlet 6, draws water, is submerged in the housing, and discharges water at a higher pressure and a flow from a discharge outlet 7 of the pump unit 4. A hydro jet 8 is disposed within said saddle horn 2, which is an air-water structure common to those skilled in the art, and is discharged from the mid-region of the horn 2 through a discharge nozzle or orifice 12 toward the exterior of the female user. The water inlet port 9 of the hydro jet 8 is in fluid communication via a fluid conduit 18 extending to the discharge 7 of the pump unit 4. By the venturi effect said water injector 8 increases the velocity of the water to draw in air supplied by an air intake duct 10, which air intake duct 10 is connected at a water injection air inlet 11, further extending above the water surface at the top of said horn 2 to provide aeration of the discharge nozzle 12 of the water injector 8. An air control regulating valve 20, common to those skilled in the art, is used in communication with said air intake conduit 10 to allow a variable air flow into the hydro jet and, ultimately, a variable intensity of the water discharged through the nozzle 12 of said hydro jet 8. The air intake duct 10 may alternatively exit at any other desired point of the housing. The hydro jet 8 is oriented so that when a female user is seated on the saddle 1, the discharge nozzle 12 is directed toward the female user's labial area.

Referring to fig. 4 and 5, the vertical arrangement and orientation of the eductor 8 relative to the saddle seat 1 is designed to accommodate a variety of female users. Moving the pelvic region and/or sitting down while sitting on the saddle seat 1 will allow the user to direct the massaging discharge of the hydro jet 8 to the desired point of the labial region by moving the horn 2 with one or both hands. To use the horn 2 function to adjust the focus of the hydro jet 8 discharge trajectory, as shown by trajectory lines a, B, and C, a pivoting point 22 is used for a rotary slide mechanism 21. An overlap seam 25 is used to separate the saddle 1 from the horn 2. The lower and inner area of the front axle 2 is rotatably connected at the pivot point 22 to the sliding mechanism 21. Together with the overlapping slot 25, said pivot point 22 and said sliding mechanism 21 allow said horn 2 to move vertically and/or rotate forwards and backwards with respect to the saddle 1. The saddle 1 uses a recessed socket inside, while the male part of the sliding mechanism 21 is movably received to allow vertical movement of the rotatably connected saddle horn 2. Reference line a shows the trajectory of the discharge of said hydro jet 8 with said horn 2 at the first position. Reference line B shows the trajectory of the discharge of said hydro jet 8 with said horn 2 rotated forward to a second position 23. Reference line C shows the discharge trajectory of said hydro jet 8 with said horn 2 projecting perpendicularly from second position 23 to third position 24. At the discretion of the user, the trajectory of discharge from hydro jet 8 is variable, as said horn 2 can be moved to any position within the range of first position, said second position 23 and said third position 24. The vertical movement of said horn 2 to said third position 24 is limited by releasable stop tabs used in the sliding mechanism 21.

Referring to fig. 6 and 7, releasable stop tab 28 is engaged in hole 29 of outer slide portion 30 and is flexibly employed on inner slide portion 26 of the slide mechanism 21 to limit vertical movement preventing slide mechanism 21 from disengaging during normal use, but is releasable to allow slide mechanism 21 to be separated for device disassembly. Two inner swivel members 27 (one not shown in fig. 6) are attached to the base of the saddle horn 2 and engage the two side ends of the outer swivel member of the inner slide part 26 to allow rotational movement of the attached horn. An outer slide portion 30 is molded into the base of the saddle housing. Two inner swivel parts 27 can be moulded into the base of the front axle 2. The slide mechanism 21 may use a ball and socket type pivot point to perform the same function as described above, additionally providing a rotatable pivot point and a greater range of trajectory paths from the hydro jet outlet.

Referring to figures 8, 9 and 10, a preferred embodiment is shown without a saddle seat, allowing a female user to attach the device directly to the bottom of the tub, between the legs, and adjust the movement of the horn 2 as desired. The function of this preferred embodiment is the same as that of the first embodiment and operates using the same mechanical and electrical components. However, the sliding mechanism is modified to allow the horn 2 to be used independently of the saddle housing. This preferred embodiment uses a ball and socket pivot point 31 at the base of the horn 2 as the extending rotatable pivot point for rotation. The suction cup 32 receives the ball end of the inner slide section 33 and allows for a removably fixed attachment to the bottom of the tub. An outer slide portion 37 is molded into the base of the saddle horn 2 to accommodate the inner slide portion 33, allowing rotational movement of the horn 2 within the physical range of the ball and socket pivot point 31. The stop tab 35 is molded into the inner slide portion 33 and will contact the stop collar 34 to prevent the slide assembly from disengaging when extended to its physical range of motion.

Referring to fig. 2, the floodable housing is shown in plan view and has a slot 19 communicating the surrounding water with the interior of the device. A filter assembly is included at slot 19 to prevent debris from entering the pump unit. Holes, which function the same as the slots 19, may be used beneath the housing, allowing water to be drawn in and fill the internal cavity from the base of the housing.

Referring to figures 3, 12 and 13, bumper 17 externally surrounds the outlet of hydro jet 8, allowing the user's pelvic region to comfortably press against said horn 2 as desired. Said bumper 17 is attached to the front axle 2 instead of the saddle 1 and thus extends over said slot 25. When the horn 2 is moved to a variable position, the slit 25 will not be exposed to the labial area of the user. Bumper 17 can be designed to enhance the user's experience and to maintain a small distance between the user and the outer edge of the discharge of hydro jet 8 to prevent obstruction of the discharge flow. The buffer 17 is used in all embodiments to perform a similar function.

With reference to fig. 12 and 13, two different embodiments of said buffer 17 are shown, respectively. In both embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 12B and 13B, at the top of the bumper 17, the bumper 17 has a relief cut-out 40 and a thickness to maintain a path for the discharge flow from the hydro jet 8 if the user presses the labium region hard against the bumper 17. The nodular protrusions 41 are used to stimulate the vaginal opening and can have a variety of shapes and lengths. The embodiment of the buffer 17 shown in fig. 13A and 13B is configured such that: the single discharge stream from the hydro jet 8 is split into two channel streams, one directed upwards and the second downwards, to provide further stimulation by water contact at two different points. Although not shown, those skilled in the art will understand that: the inventors also contemplate modifying bumper 17 to make other variations to cutout 40 to include multiple channel streams exiting from both hydro jet devices.

Referring to FIGS. 11 and 8, said bumper 17 is removably attached to the rear of said horn 2, just below hydro jet discharge nozzle 12, by means of an arcuate bow tie shaped aperture 38. The holes 38 receive corresponding male members 39 fixed to the base 36 of the bumper 17. By insertion and then twisting 90 degrees, male member 39 is locked into hole 38 to lock the bumper base in place. This feature allows for multiple bumper shapes to be interchanged, or the bumper to be removed for cleaning or replacement, as desired by the user.

Referring to fig. 14A-E, a preferred method of attaching the bumper to the anterior axle 2 by a ball and socket joint is used. Concave spherical seat 42 made of rubber is provided above and/or below hydro jet discharge nozzle 12 to allow rotational attachment bumper 17 as shown in FIG. 14C or fixed attachment bumper 17 as shown in FIG. 14D, E to allow the user to easily attach and detach for interchange and attach accessories to any available socket. The convex portion 44 of the ball joint made of plastic is molded into the fixed bumper 17, or the variably disposed phallus shaped extension 43. With this method of attachment, the phallic extension 43 is rotatable at the attachment end and will allow for angular changes as the user moves the position of the horn 2. Various bumper shapes, both fixed and rotating, can be designed and manufactured and attached using this method.

Fig. 15A-C show an alternative embodiment of the invention, using a source of water supplied externally through hose 48, in place of an electrically powered pump. A supply hose 48 connected to the hydro jet inlet 18 communicates with the drain of a bathtub or the jet nozzle of a hot tub, or any other source of water pressure. The air intake conduit 10 may be routed through the housing and out any perforation point of the housing and extend into the air space above the water line. The pressure ejector 8 discharges a mixture of air and water at the discharge nozzle 12 as pressurized water is supplied through the hose 48 and draws air in through the air intake conduit 10 in a venturi effect. Such a device eliminates the need for a power supply and pump with no loss of functionality.

In fig. 15B, the base of the unit is beveled at 49 to the rear base of the lower housing to such an angle: as shown in fig. 15C, the unit can be tilted back, fixed and extended, with the slide extension 21, and the optional suction cup 46 achieving a fixed second point of contact. This feature removably secures the device in a stationary position and allows free hand operation during stimulation.

In fig. 15C, the upper region of horn 2 can be coated or textured, with an inlay of rubber composition 45 to provide a non-slip, comfortable grip for the user. As shown in fig. 15B, a series of ridges 52 may also be used behind or in front of the neck of the horn 2 to provide a gripping surface. The horn 2 is elongated and may be designed in a variety of shapes to fit comfortably in the hand of a typical female user.

In fig. 15B, the vent hole 51 is used to continuously remove air from the interior volume as the housing 1 fills with water from the base and exhausts the air. The vent 51 is located at the top of the horn 2 to minimize buoyancy of the device.

During a typical use, a female user places the saddle 1 into a tub of water that is brought to a desired temperature to suit the bather. The switchable unit 16 is placed on the outer edge of the tub and the power supply 15 is inserted into the switchable unit 16. Now, a female user can take a bath and position the saddle 1 to a desired distance from the rear of the tub 14 and assume a sitting position on the saddle 1. The user can now turn the device on at the switch unit 16 and adjust the seated position in the saddle 1 or position its upper torso against the rear wall of the tub 14. The user's legs may be extended without interference or may be retracted in an open position. With one hand placed on the front axle 2 as a leverage, a female user can now position his pelvic region at a desired distance from or to the bumper 17. By adjusting the air control valve 20 to a desired stimulation intensity, the user may adjust the velocity of the air-water mixture discharged from hydro jet 8. The horn 2 can be moved to various positions to fine tune the trajectory of the discharge flow to focus the discharge at the desired stimulation point.

The material required to construct the unit can be injection molded or blow molded plastic. The bumper may be made of silicone, soft plastic or rubber composition. The pump unit, as well as the hydro jet and all the piping and electronic components required to construct the apparatus, are known to those skilled in the art.

It should be appreciated that: certain features and subcombinations may be employed without reference to other features and subcombinations. This is contemplated to be within the scope of the claims. Since many possible embodiments may be made of the invention without departing from the scope thereof, it should be understood that: all features listed herein and shown in the drawings are to be understood as illustrative and not restrictive.
