Title: Sexual stimulation device with an oscillator feature

Description:
FIELD OF THE INVENTION 
     The present invention generally relates to sexual stimulation devices and adult toys. More particularly, the present invention is directed to a sexual stimulation device or an adult toy comprising an oscillator feature. 
     BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
     Various types of sex toys are known in the prior art. Some of the most popular sex toys are designed to resemble human genitals and may be vibrating or non-vibrating. Particularly, vibrators comprise an insertable shaft that can have additional functionalities, such as rotation or thrusting motion. These motions are actuated via an electric vibrator motor that is controlled to alter the sensations produced by the toy. 
     For example, Lewis, U.S. Pat. No. 8,900,120, discloses a device comprising vibration means that can apply vibrations to a male or a female user. In this regard, the device of Lewis is not designed specifically for female anatomy. Similarly, Taylor, U.S. Pat. No. 5,519,292, discloses a fingertip massager that comprises vibrating pulsators that are attached to the user&#39;s fingers for vibrating the same. Thus, Taylor does not explicitly disclose a sexual stimulation device. Additionally, the aforementioned devices do not include a motor head or a connecting element that can oscillate to effectively target genital stimulation areas in women. 
     Another device, Kitov, U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2003/0083599, discloses a vibratory massage device including a vibrating pad with a vibration element. While Kitov discloses that the vibration element is driven by electrical pulses and causes the pad to oscillate, the purpose and intent of the device of Kitov are different from the present invention in that Kitov does not disclose a sex toy or a sexual stimulation device. 
     While existing devices provide various functionalities, these devices lack means for targeting stimulation to one area via an oscillator so as to provide a pulsating or a throbbing motion. Therefore, there is a need for a sexual stimulation device intended for use by women that effectively targets the so-called g-spot, a nerve reflex area inside the vagina, along the anterior surface, or near the wall of the vagina. In this regard, the invention described herein addresses this problem. 
     SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
     In view of the disadvantages inherent in the known types of vibrating sexual stimulation devices now present in the prior art, the present invention provides an improved sexual stimulation device with an oscillator. 
     The following discloses a simplified summary of the specification in order to provide a basic understanding of some aspects of the specification. This summary is not an extensive overview of the specification. It is intended to neither identify key or critical elements of the specification nor delineate the scope of the specification. Its sole purpose is to disclose some concepts of the specification in a simplified form as to prelude to the more detailed description that is disclosed later. 
     Some embodiments include, for example, a sexual stimulation device comprising a generally phallus shaped member having a handle and a stimulation end. The handle comprises a control button for operating the device. The control button is connected to a power source that can activate an oscillating motor that is attached to a motor head having a motor head attachment and silicone embedded connector thereon. The silicone embedded connector is aligned with a stimulation point at the stimulation end so that when the device is activated, the stimulation point is configured to pulsate and/or oscillate instead of vibrating. 
     More particularly, the motor head is configured to move in an up-and-down motion so as to move the motor head attachment and the silicone embedded connector therewith. In operation, the stimulation end can be inserted into a vagina to contact the g-spot or near the wall of the vagina to stimulate the user. 
     It is, therefore, an objective of the present invention to provide a new and improved sexual stimulation device that is intended for use by women and that effectively targets genital stimulation areas in most women, namely the clitoris and surrounding skin, the inner surface of the vagina and, the G-spot. 
     It is another objective of the present invention to provide a new and improved sexual stimulation device that is anatomically shaped and that is ergonomic. 
     A final object of the present invention to provide a new and improved sexual stimulation device that may be readily fabricated from materials that permit relative economy and commensurate with durability. 
     In the light of the foregoing, these and other objectives are accomplished in accordance with the principles of the present invention, wherein the novelty of the present invention will become apparent from the following detailed description and appended claims.

     Referring now to  FIGS. 1 and 2 , there are shown perspective views of exemplary embodiments of the present invention. In some embodiments, the present invention comprises a sexual stimulation device  100 ,  200  comprising an elongated member or a shaft  104 ,  204  that is substantially phallus shaped. Preferably, the elongated member  104 ,  204  comprises a slight curvature so that it is ergonomic and can more easily access genital stimulation areas in most women. 
     The elongated member  104 ,  204  includes a first end  101 ,  201  opposite a second end  102 ,  202 , wherein the first end  101 ,  201  comprises a handle having a control button  105 ,  205  thereon and the second end  102 ,  202  comprises a stimulation end having a stimulation point  103 ,  203 . In some embodiments, the elongated member  104 ,  204  can comprise a backward S-shaped design (i.e., the handle and the stimulation end biased away from each other), a C-shaped design (i.e., the handle and the stimulation end biased toward each other so as to form a more pronounced curve), or a generally straight (i.e., more shaft-like) design. 
     Additionally, the elongated member  204  optionally comprises an arm  207  at a substantial midpoint thereof, wherein the arm  207  is configured to vibrate, oscillate, or move in such a way so as to stimulate the clitoris and surrounding skin. It is contemplated that the arm  207  can be activated when the device  100 ,  200  is in operation. 
     The surface  106 ,  206  of the device  100 ,  200  comprises a silicone casing or another suitable type of casing. Preferably, the casing is seamless so as to provide one continuous skin-like surface that is smooth and soft. It is contemplated that the silicone casing can comprise various textures, such as ridges and/or bumps so as to provide additional stimuli to the user, depending upon the embodiment. 
     In some embodiments, the control button  105 ,  205  of the handle  101 ,  201  can be connected to a switch disposed in the interior of the elongated member  104 ,  204 . The control button  105 ,  205  can be depressed to turn on or turn off the device  100 ,  200 . Additionally, the control button  105 ,  205  can be depressed or pushed a predetermined number of times to change the speed or tempo of the oscillator. For example, the control button  105 ,  205  can be depressed once to operate the device at a low speed, and then depressed twice to operate the device at a medium speed, and so on, until the device is turned off. In this way, the control button  105 ,  205  can be used to alter the sensations. 
     The stimulation end  102 ,  202  comprises a depressed portion having a protruding annular stimulation point  103 ,  203  centrally located thereon, wherein the stimulation point  103 ,  203  is aligned with a silicone embedded connector therebelow, disposed within the elongated member  104 ,  204 . The stimulation point  103 ,  203  is configured to oscillate, pump, thrust, pump, and/or pulsate so that it moves inward and outward (i.e., up-and-down). 
     Referring now to  FIGS. 3 and 4 , there are shown cross-sectional views of the present invention. The device  100  comprises a frame or a skeleton  113  that is enclosed in a silicone casing  107  that comprises a smooth and soft skin-like surface. The frame  113  comprises a defined interior volume for enclosing electrical components therein. 
     The first end of the device  100  comprises a switch  114  that is connected to a power source (i.e., a battery, a rechargeable battery, etc.)  108  for supplying power to an oscillating motor  109 , wherein the switch  114  can be actuated via the control button accessible from the exterior of the first end of the device  100 . The oscillating motor  109  is connected to a motor head  110 . The motor head  110  is connected to a motor head attachment  111 , which is connected to a silicone embedded connector  112 . More particularly, the motor head attachment  111  includes a first section that is connected to the motor head  110 , and a second section comprising a rounded head that is connected to the base of the silicone embedded connector  112 . The connector  112  is directly below the stimulation point so as to move the stimulation point up-and-down and provide oscillation. 
     The motor  109  is configured to move the motor head attachment  111  in a generally up-and-down direction in one place. Said another way, the motor head attachment  111  moves along the y-axis while remaining stationary along the x-axis. The movement path of the motor head  110 , the motor head attachment  111  and the silicone embedded connector  112  are shown in  FIG. 4 . The motor head  110 , the motor head attachment  111 , and the silicone embedded connector  112  move as a single unit in an up-and-down direction so as to oscillate rather than vibrate. 
     It is therefore submitted that the instant invention has been shown and described in what is considered to be the most practical and preferred embodiments. It is recognized, however, that departures may be made within the scope of the invention and that obvious modifications will occur to a person skilled in the art.
