Fig. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view of the device of Fig. 1 with its components properly assembled; Y

Fig. 3 is a front view of one of the halves that form the hollow body of the device illustrated in Fig. 2, specifically that part with openings so that the sensitive part of the transducers can perceive the effect of physical causes that affect the portion of the cover that covers said openings.

Detailed description of a variant of the invention

Constructively, the device 1 shown by way of example in the drawings comprises two main components: a hollow body 2, formed by two halves 2a and 2b molded in plastic and interconnectable; and a cover 3 of a flexible material, such as latex or silicone, which covers a main portion of said hollow body 2 which is configured as a phallus.

In Fig. 1, it can be seen that the two halves 2a and 2b comprise means of mutual coupling 24, known per se, which allow their joining by screws or the like. More specifically, the half 2b is provided with a pair of hollow cylinders with internal thread thread intended to receive by means of two clamping screws that pass through the other half 2a through corresponding holes provided for this purpose in said half 2a of the hollow body 2.

The two halves 2a and 2b are also provided on their inner face with several ribs, protrusions or the like that make up, when the two halves 2a and 2b are juxtaposed, two housings in which motorized vibrating means 16 formed by a first and a second electric motors 7 and 8, which fit between these two halves 2a and 2b of the body gap 2 when these are properly coupled to each other, as illustrated in Fig. 2.

It can be seen in Fig. 1, and in greater detail in Fig. 3, that the half 2b of the hollow body 2 is provided with three openings 13, 14 and 15 below which said half 2b is provided with corresponding shaped tabs 17, 18 and 19, which serve to support respective transducer elements 4, 5 and 6.

These transducer elements 4, 5 and 6 transform the effect of a physical cause that affects the portions 10, 11, 12, respectively, of the sheath 3 covering the openings 13, 14 and 15. into an electrical signal. be any one of the pressure, force, temperature or humidity, or a combination of both, which affect portions 10, 1 1 and 12 referred to above.

As will be explained in better detail below, the device 1 further comprises a processor 9 capable of governing the operation of the motorized vibrating means 16 depending on the value of the electrical signals generated by the transducers 4, 5 and 6 according to different modes of operation .

In order that the transducer elements 4, 5 and 6 can more fully capture the physical causes that affect the sheath 3, in particular the portions of the sheath 3 that cover these transducer elements, it is observed that in a preferred way , illustrated in Fig. 2, portions 10, 11 and 12 of the sheath 3 physically contact the sensitive parts of their associated transducer elements 4, 5 and 6.

In the example the transducer elements 4, 5 and 6 are force sensors and each portion 10, 11, 12 of the sheath 3 associated with a transducer element is internally provided with a formation of protrusions or protrusions 10a, 11a, 12a, which is they project inwardly to transmit to the sensitive part of the force sensors the deformation or thrust that these portions of the sheath 3 undergoes.

At its base each half 2a and 2b of the hollow body 2 comprises a shaped extension, which are complementary and which form when the two halves 2a and 2b are joined by support means 20 for the processor 9 and means to house at least one battery 21 electrically connected to the processor 9, to the motorized vibrating means 16 and to the transducer element or elements 4, 5, 6. Naturally to fulfill their technical function, these shaped extensions are provided in a manner known per se of connectors, wiring and others. conventional electrical components for the reception of standard commercial batteries and for connection with the rest of the electrically powered components of the device 1.

It is observed in Fig. 2 that the hollow body 2 is provided, in its link portion between the part configured as a phallus and its shaped extension intended to house the processor 9 and the feeding means, an annular channel 30 in the that a molded annular inner flange 29 is inserted with fit into the sheath 3, adjacent to its mouth.

The means for housing at least one battery 21 and the processor 9 are protected by a tubular cover 23, axially attachable to said hollow body.

2. This tubular cover 23 is provided with a coupling opening 23b sized to be coupled by pressure and outside to the mouth of the sheath

3, in turn coupled to the hollow body 2, in order to ensure the tightness of the compartments that house sensitive components of the device 1.

At its opposite end, the tubular cover 23 is provided with an extreme opening 23a through which a carrier panel of a series of buttons 22 is accessed, for the selection of one among several modes of operation controlled by the processor 9 .

This panel carrying the push-buttons 22 is inserted into the tubular cover 23 through its coupling opening 23b and is sized so that it cannot be extracted from the tubular cover 23 through its extreme opening 23a. According to one embodiment, in the correct coupling position of the tubular cover 23, the push-button carrier panel 22 is applied under pressure, establishing electrical contact, with the extension formed in the hollow body 2.

It is noted that the arrangement of the buttons 22 is such that they are easily accessible with the thumb of the same hand with which the user can grab the device 1.

As regards the operation of the device 1, the processor 9 is configured to allow a mode of operation of the device 1 according to which the operation or the operating regime of the electric motor 7 is determined by the signal generated by the first element transducer 4, disposed at the distal end of the hollow body portion 2 configured as a phallus; while the operation or the operating regime of the second engine electrical 8 is determined by the signal generated by the second and third transducer elements 5 and 6. According to this mode of operation, it is contemplated, for example, that each transducer element is responsible for 50% of the maximum operating regime of the electric motor 8. Being thus, in the example variant of the device 1, the maximum operating speed of the motor 8 would be achieved only in the circumstance that both force sensors forming the transducer elements 5 and 6 capture a maximum level of force exerted simultaneously on the portions 11 and 12 associated with the cover 3.

Again in reference to the concrete example described, note that the portion 12 of the sheath 3 is elevated with respect to the rest of the outer surface of the sheath 3. This feature, together with its specific location, favors optimal clitoral stimulation when the The hollow body portion 2 configured as a phallus is inserted into a human vagina.

It is also contemplated to provide the device 1 with means to establish a wireless communication with another apparatus so that, in one mode of operation, the operating regime of the motorized vibrating means 16 is determined by the information transmitted to them from this other apparatus, which can be for example a PC or an erotic toy of similar characteristics.

The inventors have further resolved that, by arranging the rotation axes 7a and 8a of the motors 7 and 8 essentially oriented according to the longitudinal direction in which the hollow body 2 extends, the fact of applying a direction of rotation contrary to these axes of rotation causes a vibration amplifying effect, which increases the performance and stimulation capacity of the device 1.

Finally, it is envisaged to complement the device 1 with a protective case 27, which in the example comprises a tubular body 25 closed at one end by means of a cover 26 with interposition of a trim ring 28.
