Vibrating finger ring
Abstract
A finger ring having a band for receiving a human finger, a
chamber projecting from the top of the band comprising two
complementary round hollow members joined by the engagement of
circumferential male threads on one member and circumferential
female threads on the other member to form a tight seal, one of
said members being affixed to said band and the other member being
rotatable on said threads and carrying ornamental or decorative
effects on its outer surface, a battery and a vibrating motor being
snugly received in said chamber, said battery being adapted to
power said vibrating motor by making up the male and female threads
by manual rotation or twisting of the one said member to bring the
vibrating motor into electrical contact with the battery, the
rotation or twisting being reversed to turn said vibrating motor
off, all without breaking said seal.

Description
BACKGROUND OF INVENTION
[0001] Various erotic stimulation devices are known.
[0002] U.S. Pat. No. 5,377,692 describes a vibrating condom or
device having an inflatable vibrating region or self-activated
vibrating region which contacts the clitoris or vaginal walls.
[0003] U.S. Pat. No. 5,067,480 discloses a stimulator for use in
marital orgasmic therapy.
[0004] U.S. Pat. No. 4,835,303 discloses a hair circle for conjugal
affection consisting of a base member of elastic material having a
plurality of spaced holes extending radially therethrough. A tuft
of hair through each hole. The device is worn on the penis and is
used to stimulate the vagina.
[0005] U.S. Pat. No. 3,978,851 discloses a stroking device which
can be worn in proximity to an erogenous zone of the body.
[0006] U.S. Pat. No. 6,419,649 B1 discloses a sexual aid comprising
a battery operated vibrator which attaches to the user's tongue. In
one embodiment, the device is held to the tongue, which is pierced,
by a post passing through the tongue, in which case the post is
connected to a battery housing and/or vibrator housing and the
device can be turned on and off by turning the post.
SUMMARY OF INVENTION
[0007] Briefly, this invention comprehends a finger ring having a
band for receiving a human finger, a chamber projecting from the
top of the band comprising two complementary round hollow members
joined by the engagement of circumferential male threads on one
member and circumferential female threads on the other member to
form a tight seal, one of said members being affixed to said band
and the other member being rotatable on said threads and carrying
ornamental or decorative effects on its outer surface, a battery
and a vibrating motor being snugly received in said chamber, said
battery being adapted to power said vibrating motor by making up
the male and female threads by manual rotation or twisting of the
one said member to bring the vibrating motor into electrical
contact with the battery, the rotation or twisting being reversed
to turn said vibrating motor off, all without breaking said
seal.
DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
[0008] Turning to the drawings:
[0009] FIG. 1 is a perspective view from the side top of the finger
ring of this invention.
[0010] FIG. 2 is a top plan view of the finger ring of FIG. 1.
[0011] FIG. 3 is a side plan view of the finger ring of FIG. 1.
[0012] FIG. 4 is another side plan view of the finger ring, turned
90.degree. from FIG. 3.
[0013] FIG. 5 is an exploded side view of the finger side showing
the hollow space provided by the lower and upper members forming a
chamber atop the ring with the battery in place in the lower member
and the vibrating motor present in the upper chamber, and further
showing the male and female threads which are adapted to form a
light seal when twisted together.
[0014] FIG. 5a shows the finger ring of FIG. 5 with the threads
partially engaged to form the seal with the battery and vibrating
motor not in contact so that the vibrating is turned off.
[0015] FIG. 5b is taken along the line 5b-5b in FIG. 2 and shows
how the vibrating motor is turned on by rotation or twisting of the
upper member while the lower member which is affixed to the band is
held stationary.
[0016] Turning to the drawings in more detail, the finger ring
(generally 10) includes a band 12 sized to fit a human finger.
Affixed to the upper portion of band 12 is lower round member 14
which is hollow inside and has a flat bottom 16 and a perpendicular
side 18 which has circumferential external male threads 20 at its
terminal end.
[0017] Carried by the lower round member 14 is upper round member
22 which also has a flat bottom surface 24, and a perpendicular
side 26 which has circumferential internal female threads 28 at its
terminal end. Threads 20 and 28 are complimentary and when engaged
provide a fluid tight seal even when only partially made up to
allow the device to be used safely for its intended purposes. This
is particularly important as the ring in use may be inserted in
moist body cavities.
[0018] Battery 30 is snugly received in the lower round member 14.
Suitable batteries are commercially available.
[0019] The vibrating motor 32 is snugly received in the upper round
member 22. The vibrating motor 32 can be held as shown in FIGS. 5
and 5a by small spring retainers attached to perpendicular side 26,
or by a two-sided adhesive strip adhered to the flat bottom surface
24. The vibrating motor is of the type generally available and used
in pagers.
[0020] The upper surface 34 of upper round member 22 can be
provided with any type of decorative or ornamental appearance such
as gems, precious metals, a retaining bezel as shown on the
drawings, or any other arrangement known in the jewelry trade.
[0021] The battery 30 has electrical contacts 36 which are adapted
to contact the surface of the vibrating motor 32 when the threads
20 and 28 are fully made up and engaged as shown in FIG. 5b. The
number of contacts depends upon the type of battery and vibrating
motor chosen.
[0022] In operation, the upper round member 22 can be manually
rotated or twisted, as indicated by the arrows in FIG. 5b to
further engage threads 20 and 28, to turn the vibrating motor 32
on. Reversing the direction of twist turns the motor off as contact
between the battery 30 and vibrating motor 32 is broken.
[0023] The device can also be constructed to be turned off and on
by a switch affixed to the side of upper round member 22 or
elsewhere on the ring in which case appropriated electrical
circuitry is provided within the chamber carrying battery 30 and
vibrating motor 32.
[0024] In use, the ring can be turned on and used to stimulate any
erogenous zone of the human body by direct contact. The device is
also decorative and can be worn in the same manner as any finger
ring.
[0025] While the invention has been depicted with the battery in
the lower chamber and the vibrating motor in the upper chamber, the
positioning of these elements can be reversed.
[0026] The band 12 can be hinged to facilitate placement on the
finger. The band can also be of the expansion band type.
[0027] Having fully described the invention, the following claims
are intended to particularly point out and distinctly claim the
invention.
