| 20080269650 | Vacuum pressure regulator for human body treatment devices - One or more embodiments of the presently described invention provide a vacuum pressure regulator including a spring, a knob, a housing, a chamber and a diaphragm. The spring encircles the knob and is capable of being compressed when the knob is rotated in one direction. The chamber and diaphragm are located inside the housing. A seal is formed when the compression of the spring creates a spring force that pushes at least a part of the diaphragm against a sealing surface of the chamber. This seal enables the chamber to maintain or hold a vacuum pressure for more than a transitory time period. | 10-30-2008 |
| 20080269553 | Powered massager for internal use on the human body - A powered massager device for internal use on the human body for providing sexual stimulation or other massage or therapeutic purposes by internal or external uses on the human body by vibration actuation. It includes a vibration actuator unit including a vibration generator, and a control interface unit separated from but electrically connected to the vibration actuator for controlling the vibration actuator. The vibration actuator unit is sized for being receivable in its entirety in a body cavity of the user. the vibration actuator unit having externally shape in the form of first and second integrally joined sections, each section having a rounded outer end, the sections providing a smooth transition from the first section to the second section, the sections forming an angle between them in the semblance of a bent fingertip. | 10-30-2008 |
| 20080230073 | Vibrating prophylactic - A prophylactic device, as one or more embodiments, includes a vibration generator and a switch disposed in a distal end of the device. The vibration generator is capable of being activated by pushing the switch towards a proximal end of the device. As one or more embodiments, a switching apparatus is provided for activating a vibration generator, which apparatus includes a ring including a recess, a switch including at least one arm connected to the ring, and an electrically conductive arm configured to contact a pole of a motor when the ring is in an activated position and to contact the recess when the ring is in a deactivated position. | 09-25-2008 |
| 20080228114 | Miniature massage vibrator - A miniature electrically powered massage vibrator includes an outermost shell slideably holding a vibrating body, i.e., a vibration generator. The vibrating body contains a power source of button-type battery cells for powering a motor of the vibration generator encased inside the body, and a power switching mechanism.
