Description:
FIELD OF THE INVENTION 
     The invention relates to a device to provide stimulation to the female genitalia, primarily the clitoris and other parts of the female vulva that contain multiple nerve receptors that are key to arousal and resulting in an orgasm. The invention allows the use of a flexible and or rigid tubing with various tips. The tips are easily placed on or near the clitoris area of the female providing direct positive pulsating air pressure from the tube. The tips are designed to provide direct pulsating air pressure to the clitoris. 
     BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
     Clitoral stimulation as relates to female stimulation has been widely evidenced as a means to achievement orgasm. Many devices including vibrating design to enticing the clitoris and vacuum methods to enhance the sensitivity of the clitoris have been examined and are in use. A very effective way of stimulating the clitoris and region is the use pulsating positive air pressure to peen or to pulsate the clitoris by varying frequency as a means to create stimulation. 
     No prior art female stimulation device uses a current of positive air pressure. Existing stimulation devices typically mechanically vibrate or create a suction effect. These devices have to contact the skin to provide stimulation. Problems with existing devices include irritation and infections. A need exists for an invention that sexually stimulates a female yet eliminates irritation and or the risk of infection. 
     SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
     The present invention is directed to overcoming the problems set forth above. Briefly summarized, according to one aspect of the present invention, the current invention provides a positive air flow to create the stimulation of the clitoris from the air flow, rather than contact of the device. Pressure is referred to as “positive” when it exceeds atmospheric pressure and “negative” when it is less than atmospheric pressure. When a stream of air meets a stationary object, such as an airplane, air is deflected by the object and air currents are created. The currents flow, over, under, and around the object. When the direction of a stream of air or a liquid is changed, turbulence, such as vortices around a bridge piling in a river, are created. 
     The positive air flow pressure of the present invention creates a force applied over a surface per unit of area. The force per unit area applied in a generally perpendicular angle to the surface of an object creates a peening or concussion of the surface which it is directed to for stimulation. The combination of positive air flow, air pressure, and pulsating air pressure stimulates nerve receptors, creating sexual arousal to result in an orgasm. 
     The present invention is a female stimulation device to deliver pulsating positive air pressure to the clitoris and other regions of the female genital region. The device comprises an air pump/compressor, a length of tubing connected to the air pump/compressor, a variable control on the pump to increase or decrease the frequency of the pulsation, a regulator to vary the positive air pressure, a pressure gauge attached to the pump outlet and the regulator, and a reservoir connected to the compressor to provide a means to include a lubricant and or scent in the air flow. Various tips to direct the pulsating positive air flow to the clitoris and other parts of the region are removeably connectable to the tubing outlet. The tips are of different configuration to apply direct mechanical stimulation and or pulsating positive air pressure to the clitoris. 
     In an embodiment, the invention comprises a housing unit to contain the air pump/compressor. The housing unit may include a variable pressure control, regulator, reservoir, and other mechanical and electrical components. The housing unit may be disguised as a typical household item. 
     In an embodiment the invention is housed in a portable unit of similar design. The device may be battery operated with or without the means to have a portable charger which adapts to a standard home electrical outlet as the source for recharging. 
     In an embodiment, the invention is a positive air pressure and flow device to apply positive air pressure and flow to the female genitalia including but not limited to the clitoris, labia minora, labia majora, anus, nipples, and the like. The device includes an air pump, regulator, flexible tubing, and at least one tip. The air pump and regulator including other components are contained in a housing. The flexible tubing connects to the housing by any typical means used to connect a flexible tubing and effect a seal so as to not allow air to escape. The air pump is of any typical design, but types that are preferred are a diaphragm type or uni-piston type to deliver air pressure in a reciprocating manner as to be a rapid pulsation. Included in the housing is a reservoir or container used to contain scented and or lubricating oils that are added to and delivered with the positive air pressure for additional sensory stimulation.

The housing houses the air compressor  16 , a container  17  to hold a fluid, a gel, oil, or the like that is infused with a scent, and various electrical and ancillary components. The container may be heated by a heater (not shown) to increase the scent released and or heat the air flow. The container may comprise an atomizer, diffuser or other mechanism (not shown) to place tiny droplets of scented fluid in the air flow. The tubing is a hollow, flexible plastic tube connecting the pump to the container (preferably within the housing) and the tip. The tubing may have internal features, such as helical grooves (rifling), striations, and the like, to accelerate or add direction to the air flow. Air is received by the pump through a vent (not shown) in the housing. 
     The operation of the female stimulation device will now be described in more detail. An electric motor  18  is connectable to a power supply  50  (see  FIG. 5 ). The power can be wired-electrical or battery, which can be rechargeable. The motor is connected to and operates the air compressor. The compressor supplies compressed air through the container and the tube. The compressed air exits the tube into the tip which is designed to direct the air flow. The air flow at from the tip is between about 10 psi to about 60 psi. A pressure regulator (not shown) regulates the amount of pressure as selected on the pressure dial. The maximum amount of air flow from the compressor is about 8-10 cubic feet per minute. A pulsation regulator (not shown) regulates the frequency of pressure as selected on the pressure dial. In an embodiment, the pulsation regulator variably opens and closes an air passage connected to the tubing by rotating a valve to produce alternating high and low air compression. 
     Tips  30  are removeably connected in an air-tight fashion to the opposite end of the tube that is connected to the housing. Various tips may be included with the device or may be sold individually or in a set. Tips have any shape, such as rounded, flat, serrated, etc., which can act to direct the air in a certain pattern, in sheets or cascades. Tips vary in shape to create air turbulence, such as but not limited to a linear, laminar, vortex, oscillating, and the like. Tips may contain single or multiple openings. In an embodiment depicted in  FIG. 12 , a single tip contains multiple nozzles  32   a - n , such as on an adjustable dial, that a user may individually select.
