Description:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
       [0001]    The present subject matter relates generally to an oral sex stimulator. More specifically, the present subject matter discloses an oral sex stimulator that includes a vibrating body that fits into a user&#39;s mouth and a tail that enables the user to comfortably and securely hook the body inside the user&#39;s mouth. 
         [0002]    There are numerous electro-mechanical sexual stimulators available on the market. The majority of these stimulators are not intended or adapted for use during oral sex, in fact, very few devices are adapted for such purposes. In one example, U.S. Pat. No. 6,645,164 (the &#39;164 patent) discloses a vibrating oral sex enhancement device including a mouthpiece and a separate controller. The surface of the mouthpiece contacts the user&#39;s tongue to impart vibrations to the user&#39;s tongue, which is intended to provide increased sexual pleasure to the user&#39;s partner during oral sex. However, the device disclosed in the &#39;164 patent is inconvenient, obtrusive, and does not provide direct stimulation—the stimulation is indirectly provided through the tongue. The device disclosed in the &#39;164 patent is specifically intended for use in cunnilingus. 
         [0003]    Other examples include a vibrator attached to an elastic ring wrapped around the users tongue. Securing such a device on an active and tapered tongue is a challenge. A more secure device, a vibrator that attaches to the user&#39;s tongue by a shaft secured though the tongue may be more secure, but is limited for use by people having pierced tongues. 
         [0004]    The prior art does not provide a convenient oral sex stimulator that can be safely and securely held in a user&#39;s mouth while performing fellatio that enables a user to complete close his or her mouth and otherwise does not interfere with the natural movement of the user&#39;s mouth and tongue while providing direct stimulation to the penis. 
         [0005]    Accordingly, there is a need for an oral sex stimulator, as described and claimed herein. 
       BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
       [0006]    The present disclosure provides a convenient oral sex stimulator that can be safely and securely held in a user&#39;s mouth while performing fellatio that enables a user to complete close his or her mouth and otherwise does not interfere with the natural movement of the user&#39;s mouth and tongue while providing direct stimulation to the penis. A description of a representative example of an oral sex stimulator is provided below, but it is understood that the subject matter provided herein may be varied to accommodate particular applications, as will be recognized by those skilled in the art based on the teachings provided herein. 
         [0007]    In one example, an oral sex stimulator includes a vibrating body and a tail for securing the body within the user&#39;s mouth. The body is a vibrating, elongated, egg-shaped structure. In a preferred embodiment, the body is covered in a medical grade silicone, both for comfort and for ease of cleaning. The silicone cover encloses a battery powered electromechanical vibration device and a battery. A power switch (and, in some embodiments, a vibration intensity control) is provided at the outer surface of the body to control the operation of the vibration device. 
         [0008]    In another example, the shape of the oral sex stimulator may be generally the same as the first embodiment described above; however, in this example, the body is a heat producing body. Heat may be provided by a battery powered warming device, for example, a battery-powered electrical resistance heating element. Another contemplated embodiment may combine the functionality described above to provide a vibrating, heat producing body. Such an embodiment may include independent controls accessible at the outer surface of the body to turn on and off the heat and the vibration, as well as to control the intensity of each. As shown, the body may be adapted to perform varied functionality to improve the user&#39;s ability to stimulate another during oral sex. 
         [0009]    The shape and size of the body is specifically adapted to comfortably fit into the user&#39;s cheek without interfering with the user&#39;s tongue and without impeding the user&#39;s ability to close his or her mouth. While described primarily as an elongated egg-shaped body, the body may take other forms. For example, it is contemplated that the body may include a convex cheek-facing surface and a concave tongue-facing surface that may more readily conform to the geometry of the cheek on one side and the penis on the other. Certainly other shapes may be employed, but the preferred versions embody smoothly contoured shapes that are most likely to be comfortable and safe for the user. 
         [0010]    In a preferred embodiment, the tail portion of the oral sex stimulator includes a bend, an elongated curved arm, and a hooked end. The tail allows the oral sex stimulator to be safely and securely “clipped” onto the user&#39;s mouth to place the body within the user&#39;s mouth. This structure prevents the body (or the entire device) from being advanced too far into the user&#39;s mouth and choking the user. In this preferred embodiment, the tail is both thin and made from a transparent material, which makes the oral sex stimulator particularly unobtrusive. By providing a relatively thin tail, the user may maintain the ability to completely close his or her mouth even with the oral sex stimulator secured in place for use. By making the tail from a transparent, or other non-obtrusive, material, the oral sex stimulator may be less obvious and more attractive. 
         [0011]    The curved shape of the tail comfortably holds the body in place within the user&#39;s mouth. And because the end of the tail is hooked, the user is able to slide the oral sex stimulator into his or her mouth smoothly, without a risk of scratching the face. Further, because the hooked end of the tail is positioned away from the user&#39;s mouth back towards the user&#39;s cheek, the hooked end is less likely to interfere with any interaction between the two people. 
         [0012]    The tail may be formed from any of a number of suitable materials. In one example, the tail is formed from stainless steel which provides a very strong, stable, and easy to clean device. In other embodiments, the tail may be formed from any of a variety of suitable plastics. Such versions may be both easy to clean and lightweight. Polymeric versions of the tail may be able to take advantage of transparency to minimize the visual impact of the device. 
         [0013]    As described, an oral sex stimulator includes: a battery powered body including a battery compartment, a silicone cover and a one or more controls; and a tail attached to the body, wherein the tail includes a bend adjacent to the body, an elongated arm extending away from the bend, and a hooked end at the terminal end of the tail. In some embodiments, the body is a vibrating body. In others, the body includes a heating element. The oral sex stimulator may include a power control, an intensity control, or similar controls. Variations of the oral sex stimulator include various shaped bodies, for example, an egg-shaped body or a body that includes a convex cheek-facing surface and a concave tongue-facing surface. In some versions the tail may be formed from a transparent polymer. 
         [0014]    In another embodiment, the tail is configured to clip around a cheek of the user when the body is placed inside a user&#39;s mouth. Further, the hooked end may be configured to hook around a user&#39;s ear. 
         [0015]    An advantage of the oral sex stimulator provided herein is that it may be safely and securely held in a user&#39;s mouth while performing fellatio that enables a user to complete close his or her mouth and otherwise does not interfere with the natural movement of the user&#39;s mouth and tongue while providing direct stimulation to the penis. 
         [0016]    Another advantage of the oral sex stimulator provided herein is that it may be adapted to incorporate any number of functions, including, for example, vibration, heating, etc. 
         [0017]    A further advantage of the oral sex stimulator provided herein is that it prevents the body from being inserted too deeply into the user&#39;s mouth. 
         [0018]    Yet another advantage of the oral sex stimulator provided herein is that it provides an unobtrusive and attractive oral sex stimulator. 
         [0019]    Another advantage of the oral sex stimulator provided herein is that the user is able to freely move his or her tongue during use. 
         [0020]    Still another advantage of the oral sex stimulator provided herein is that the materials and shapes used enable comfortable use and sanitary cleaning. 
         [0021]    Additional objects, advantages and novel features of the examples will be set forth in part in the description which follows, and in part will become apparent to those skilled in the art upon examination of the following description and the accompanying drawings or may be learned by production or operation of the examples. The objects and advantages of the concepts may be realized and attained by means of the methodologies, instrumentalities and combinations particularly pointed out in the appended claims.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION 
       [0029]      FIGS. 1-4  illustrate various views of examples of an oral sex stimulator  10 , as provided herein. The example shown in  FIGS. 1-2  is one example of an oral sex stimulator  10 , the example shown in  FIG. 3  is another example of an oral sex stimulator  10 ,  FIG. 4  is yet another example of an oral sex stimulator  10 , and those skilled in the art will recognize the numerous variations of embodiments that may be implemented based on the teachings disclosed herein.  FIGS. 5 and 6  show how a user  12  may wear the oral sex stimulator  10 . 
         [0030]    In the example shown in  FIGS. 1 and 2 , the oral sex stimulator  10  includes a body  14  and a tail  16 . The body  14  shown in  FIGS. 1 and 2  is a vibrating, elongated, egg-shaped body  14 . However, it is understood that the body  14  may take many forms. Of particular importance, the body  14  should be comfortable, safe, and secure when in use. To meet these goals, the body shown in  FIGS. 1 and 2  is smoothly shaped and covered in a medical grade silicone. The silicone material improves user comfort and makes the oral sex stimulator  10  easy to clean. As shown in  FIG. 2 , a silicone cover  18  encloses a battery powered electromechanical vibration device  20  and a battery compartment  22  into which an appropriate battery may be placed. A power switch  24  (and, in some embodiments, a vibration intensity control  26 ) is provided at the outer surface  28  of the body  14  to control the operation of the vibration device  20 . 
         [0031]    In the example shown in  FIG. 3 , the oral sex stimulator  10  may be generally the same as the embodiment shown in  FIGS. 1 and 2 ; however, the body  14  may be a heat producing body  14 , rather than a vibrating body  14 . A battery powered warming device  30  may be used to provide the heat producing body  14 . For example, the warming device  30  may be a battery-powered electrical resistance heating element. Another contemplated embodiment may combine the functionality described above to provide a vibrating, heat producing body  14 . Such an embodiment may include independent controls  24  and  26  accessible at the outer surface  28  of the body  14  to turn on and off the heat and the vibration, as well as to control the intensity of each. As shown, the body  14  may be adapted to perform varied functionality to improve the user&#39;s ability to stimulate another during oral sex. 
         [0032]    The shape and size of the body  14  is specifically adapted to comfortably fit into the user&#39;s cheek ( FIGS. 5 and 6 ) without interfering with the user&#39;s tongue and without impeding the user&#39;s ability to close his or her mouth. While described primarily as an elongated egg-shaped body  14 , the body  14  may take other forms. For example, as shown in  FIG. 4 , it is contemplated that the body  14  may include a convex cheek-facing surface  32  and a concave tongue-facing surface  34  that may more readily conform to the geometry of the cheek on one side and the penis on the other. Certainly other shapes may be employed, but the preferred versions embody smoothly contoured shapes that are most likely to be comfortable and safe for the user  12 . 
         [0033]    In the embodiments shown in  FIGS. 1-4 , the tail  16  of the oral sex stimulator  10  includes a bend  36 , an elongated curved arm  38 , and a hooked end  40 . The tail  16  allows the oral sex stimulator  10  to be safely and securely “clipped” onto the user&#39;s mouth to place the body  12  within the user&#39;s mouth. This structure prevents the body  14  (or the entire oral sex stimulator  10 ) from being advancing too far into the user&#39;s mouth and choking the user  12 . In this preferred embodiment, the tail  16  is both thin and made from a transparent material, which makes the oral sex stimulator  10  particularly unobtrusive. By providing a relatively thin tail  16 , the user  12  may maintain the ability to completely close his or her mouth even with the oral sex stimulator  10  secured in place for use. By making the tail  16  from a transparent, or other non-obtrusive, material, the oral sex stimulator  10  may be less obvious and more attractive. 
         [0034]    The curved shape of the tail  16  comfortably holds the body  14  in place within the user&#39;s mouth. And because the end of the tail  16  is hooked, the user  12  is able to slide the oral sex stimulator  10  into his or her mouth smoothly, without a risk of scratching the user&#39;s face. Further, because the hooked end  40  of the tail  16  is positioned away from the user&#39;s mouth back along the user&#39;s cheek, the hooked end  40  is less likely to interfere with any interaction between the two people. 
         [0035]    In another embodiment, the tail  16  is configured to clip around a cheek of the user when the body  14  is placed inside a user&#39;s mouth. Further, the hooked end  40  may be configured to hook around a user&#39;s ear. By having the hooked end  40  secured around a user&#39;s ear, the oral sex stimulator  10  will be further concealed. In addition, when the hooked end  40  is secured around a user&#39;s ear, it prevents the body  14  (or the entire oral sex stimulator  10 ) from being advancing too far into the user&#39;s mouth and choking the user  12 . 
         [0036]    The tail  16  may be formed from any of a number of suitable materials. In one example, the tail  16  is formed from stainless steel which provides a very strong, stable, and easy to clean oral sex stimulator  10 . In other embodiments, the tail  16  may be formed from any of a variety of suitable plastics. Such versions may be both easy to clean and lightweight. Polymeric versions of the tail  16  may be able to take advantage of transparency to minimize the visual impact of the oral sex stimulator  10 . 
         [0037]    As shown in  FIGS. 5 and 6 , the user  12  may place the body  14  of the oral sex stimulator  10  in the user&#39;s mouth and use the tail  16  of the oral sex stimulator  10  to comfortably secure it in place. As shown, when the oral sex stimulator  10  is comfortably secured in place in the user&#39;s mouth, the tail  16  minimally interferes with the user&#39;s ability to close his or her mouth and the body  14  is perfectly positioned to not interfere with the use of the tongue, but is located in a position such that it will make effective direct contact with a penis when inserted into the user&#39;s mouth. 
         [0038]    While described herein with respect to specific illustrated embodiments, it should be noted that various changes and modifications to the presently preferred embodiments of the oral sex stimulator  10  described herein will be apparent to those skilled in the art. Such changes and modifications may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention and without diminishing its attendant advantages.
