Device for artificial insemination

A device for artificial insemination, wherein the device includes a dildo member having an internal channel for receiving a tubing connected to a pumping mechanism and associated pumping arm, wherein fluid may be drawn into the dildo member through the pumping mechanism and discharged through the internal tubing at a distal end.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Field of the Invention

The invention generally relates to devices for artificial insemination, and more particularly, to devices that mimic ejaculation.

Many couples, upon wishing to conceive, undertake the act of copulation with the goal of insemination. However, for a variety of reasons, couples may not be able to achieve conception via traditional means. For example, same-sex or transgender couples may not possess the necessary biological equipment, or perhaps a single woman would like to conceive without relying on a partner. Similarly, heterosexual couples may not be able to conceive where the male is unable to produce sperm, whether caused by erectile dysfunction, a low sperm count, or related issues stemming from testicular cancer. In these cases, couples may turn to artificial means for insemination.

Typically, artificial insemination is accomplished with a syringe. Sperm is drawn into the syringe and then injected into a woman's vagina, allowing anyone with access to a sperm sample the opportunity to conceive. While syringes accomplish the goal of conception, their usage lacks the intimate and relational properties of sexual intercourse.

Couples may also inseminate by using a device that both mimics sexual intercourse and also delivers a sperm sample at the appropriate time. For example, couples may employ a sexual device resembling an erect penis in shape, size, and overall appearance (commonly referred to as a dildo) to have pseudo genital-to-genital sexual intercourse. When the dildo is coupled with cylindrical tubing running through the inside and attached at the end to a silicone bulb, it allows a specimen to be drawn into the tubing and expelled. Couples are able to manually inseminate while also having an intimate sexual experience.

Due to the fact that dildos are inserted into the vagina, cleaning after use is very important to prevent infection and other health issues. To ensure sanitization, cleaning must be meticulous and thorough. The dildo may be cleaned by hand with soap and water, which may not fully clean the inside of the rubber tubing. The rubber tubing can be further cleaned by running a cleaning solution and water through the tube, which may not be adequate. Running the dildo through a mechanical device for cleaning utensils, such as a dishwasher, may melt the internal tubing or the dildo itself. All of these issues may result in infrequent and insufficient cleanings, leading to possible health implications. Further, despite cleaning, it can never be guaranteed that the object is completely sanitized.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The instant apparatus and system, as illustrated herein, is clearly not anticipated, rendered obvious, or even present in any of the prior art mechanisms, either alone or in any combination thereof. Thus the several embodiments of the instant apparatus are illustrated herein.

In accordance with the invention, the problem of completely and quickly sanitizing a dildo that simulates ejaculation is solved by a dildo that incorporates interchangeable internal tubing. In this way, the tubing is simply thrown away after a single use and replaced with a new one. As the new tubing has never been used, it can be guaranteed that it is completely sanitized. Extensive, yet insufficient efforts for cleaning are no longer required.

Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to provide a dildo that provides for artificial insemination that allows for easy cleaning.

It is another object of the present invention to provide a dildo that includes a silicone “tree” built inside the dildo to allow for the silicone tubing to glide through the entire length of the dildo with no difficulty. It is quite difficult to successfully slide silicone materials on or in silicone materials. This tree allows the ease of that transfer of the tubing internally through the dildo.

It is another object of the present invention to provide a dildo that has a custom tip designed to lock the inner tubing in place when used to mimic intercourse. This custom tip allows for the successful transfer and delivery of the liquid and also enables the tubing to be locked into place or removed.

It is another object of the present invention to provide a dildo that includes a chamber at the base of the apparatus which allows for the inner tubing to be placed inside the chamber and lay flat. This allows the user to wear the apparatus and not have the inner tubing sticking out anywhere.

It is another object of the present invention to provide a means for couples to artificially inseminate.

It is a further object of the present invention to provide a dildo that mimics ejaculation.

It is yet another object of the present invention to provide a means for artificial insemination that is sanitary despite repeated use.

The invention features a dildo with a removable inner lining. The removable inner lining may be a silicone tube. The removable inner lining may be attached to a pump, and the pump may be a rubber bulb.

There has thus been outlined, rather broadly, the more important features of the device for artificial insemination in order that the detailed description thereof that follows may be better understood, and in order that the present contribution to the art may be better appreciated. There are additional features of the invention that will be described hereinafter and which will form the subject matter of the claims appended hereto.

To the accomplishment of the foregoing and related ends, certain illustrative aspects are described herein and these aspects are indicative of the various ways in which the principles disclosed herein can be practiced and all aspects and equivalents thereof are intended to be within the scope of the claimed subject matter.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

The detailed description set forth below in connection with the appended drawings is intended as a description of presently preferred embodiments of the invention and does not represent the only forms in which the present invention may be constructed and/or utilized. The description sets forth the functions and the sequence of steps for constructing and operating the invention in connection with the illustrated embodiments. However, it is to be understood that the same or equivalent functions and sequences may be accomplished by different embodiments that are also intended to be encompassed within the spirit and scope of the invention, such as artificial insemination devices with removable inner linings of different sizes, dimensions, and construction materials.

Referring toFIG. 1, an embodiment of the present invention is presented. A dildo10, made preferably of a medical grade silicone material is shown, which comprises a distal end (head)12, a shaft14, and a proximal end16. The proximal end increases longitudinally in diameter to meet a base18. The overall appearance of the dildo10is such that it resembles an erect penis. Within the dildo10runs a thin silicone tube, which is visible and exposed at the distal end12as an end port21(seeFIG. 3) extending from an opening20at the distal end12.

In one embodiment, the base18is removable so as to allow for the plastic tubing embedded in the middle of the dildo10to be replaced per use. The base18is preferably made from a medical grade silicone material, and features an opening22, from which a proximal end33of the internal tubing extends. A pumping mechanism32, comprising a rubber bulb24affixed to a pumping arm26, is then affixed to the proximal end33. Fluid may then be drawn into the dildo by pressing the rubber bulb.

In yet another embodiment, the base18does not need to be removeable in order to replace the inner tubing; a user may remove the inner tubing from the pump tubing, and then replace both sets of tubing prior to reassembly. In essence, a user may remove the tubing first, replace the catheter inside the dildo10, and then re-attach the tubing with the pump for re-use.

In use, the dildo can be put into a harness of any kind and worn by a woman to simulate intercourse. The embedded silicone tubing and silicone tubing with rubber bulb pump are used in conjunction with the dildo to mimic intercourse and ejaculation. The device provides a woman or two women with the ability to achieve sexual pleasure and mimic ejaculation. This can also be used with other liquid materials other than semen to simulate ejaculation. The device can be used as a novelty item for fetish users who want to “ejaculate” other liquids out of the dildo.

Referring toFIGS. 2 through 6, each element of an embodiment of the present invention is presented in detail. Within the dildo10, internal tubing30runs longitudinally across the shaft14. The section of tubing at the opening20extends past the distal end by a small distance. At the proximal end, the internal tubing30attaches to a hub22. The hub is slightly larger than the tubing and provides a point to attach a pumping mechanism32.

In this embodiment of the present invention, the pumping mechanism32comprises a bulb24, which is attached to the distal end36of a pumping arm26with an insert piece28. The proximal end34of the short piece of tubing is placed through the opening22in the base18, and fits snugly over the hub33, thus creating a single waterproof channel from the bulb24to the opening20of the dildo10.

Referring toFIG. 7, the base18of an embodiment of the present invention is presented in detail. The base18may be attached to the proximal end of the dildo10using two screws or bolts36A36B. The base may also be attached using hinges. The base is removable, allowing for the plastic tubing embedded in the middle of the dildo to be replaced per use. The base features an opening22, wherein the internal tubing30ends and is affixed to the pumping mechanism32.

FIGS. 8A and 8Billustrates an alternative embodiment of the instant invention, wherein the dildo10, further comprises a guiding mechanism42, wherein the guiding mechanism42extends from the proximal end12to the distal end16of the dildo10. Furthermore, the guiding mechanism42includes a plurality of circular elements43extending outwardly from the guiding mechanism42and equidistantly disposed along the guiding mechanism42. Additionally, the internal tubing30is contained within the guiding mechanism42to allow for the internal tubing30to glide through the entire length of the dildo with no difficulty. It is quite difficult to successfully slide silicone materials on or in silicone materials and the guiding mechanism42allows for the ease of that transfer of the internal tubing30internally through the dildo10.

FIGS. 9A and 9Billustrates an alternate embodiment of the instant invention, wherein a custom tip44is provided to lock the internal tubing30in place when used to mimic intercourse. This custom tip44allows for the successful transfer and delivery of the liquid and also enables the internal tubing30to be locked into place or removed. When this custom tip44is in place, it will lock the internal tubing30in and prevent it from moving while inside the shaft of the penis. If the tip is removed, the tubing will glide freely throughout the distance of the penis.

FIGS. 10A and 10Billustrates an alternative embodiment of the base18, wherein the base18further includes a chamber46within the base18which allows for the inner tubing to be placed inside the chamber and lay flat. This allows the user to wear the apparatus and not have the inner tubing sticking out anywhere.

It should be noted that we do not intend the invention to be limited by the present embodiments. For example, the pumping mechanism could include a variety of mechanisms. In another embodiment, the dildo could contain a lever for drawing the liquid into the plastic tubing embedded within the middle of the dildo. A lever or button mechanism could then trigger the release of the liquid in order to mimic ejaculation. Similarly, the tubing used throughout may be composed of rubber, plastic, or any combination of flexible and waterproof material.

In conclusion, herein is presented a device for artificial insemination that is easily cleaned by way of a removable lining. The invention is illustrated by example in the drawing figures, and throughout the written description. It should be understood that numerous variations are possible, while adhering to the inventive concept. Such variations are contemplated as being a part of the present invention.
