Description

EXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION

(1) The sexual toy made of the composite material is therefore configured as a novelty within its field of application, the characterizing details that distinguish it conveniently appearing in the final claims attached to this specification.

(2) More concretely, what the invention proposes, as it was said above, is a sexual toy made of a composite material, formed out of joining, at least, two components, where the first component is an elastomer, and a second component is a granulated element.

(3) In a preferred embodiment, the sexual toy comprises a filling of the composite material where a first component is an elastomer, and a second component is a granulated element and an external sheath of silicone.

(4) In this embodiment a similar sexual toy is achieved, but at same time much cheaper than one integrally made of silicone. In addition, the sexual toy keeps the external appearance, as well as the external properties as there is the sheath made of silicone.

(5) In an even more preferred embodiment, the sexual toy comprises, in addition to the filling of composite material and the external sheath of silicone, a core of material less flexible than the composite material.

(6) The objective of the core is to increase the rigidity of the sexual toy that can be low if it is integrally made of silicone or with a filling of the composite material and an external sheath of silicone.

(7) The granulated element of the composite material can be varied depending on the physical characteristics wished in the sexual toy. It is provided that the granulated element can be a unique material or a mixture of materials.

(8) In a preferred embodiment, the granulated element is an aggregate. The aggregates are materials having chemical stability and high mechanical strength, which provide significant advantages when joined to an elastomer.

(9) It is provided that the aggregate can be natural or synthetic.

(10) The aggregate can have any type of diameter among which powder or sand having a 0.063 to 2 millimeter diameter is preferred.

(11) It is preferable to use recycled powder of aggregate (stone) preventing thus a residue from the industry engaged in producing objects of stone.

(12) Thus, the main advantages of a sexual toy made of a material composed of an elastomer and an aggregate are, above all, as no more expensive materials have to be used, such as pure silicone, but also that they constitute a heavy material having a mechanical capacity greater than that of an elastomer and for the absorption of impacts, as well as its good insulating, acoustic, electric and thermal capacities.

(13) In another preferred embodiment, the granulated element is an expanded or foamed polymer. The expanded or foamed polymers are materials having great elastic capacities, very light and with greater structural capacities than an elastomer, which provide significant advantages when joining them to an elastomer.

(14) The expanded or foamed polymer of any type, although, it is preferably expanded polypropylene (EPP) because of its hardness, or expanded polyethylene (EPE) because of its sponginess or expanded polystyrene (EPS) because of its low price. The use of the expanded polystyrene (EPS) is the component of the best preferred embodiment although a mixture of particles of any of them is not either discarded.

(15) With this, the main advantages provided by the sexual toy made of the material composed by an elastomer and an expanded or foamed polymer are, above all, not to have to use more expensive materials such as pure silicone, but also that it constitutes a material having great elastic capacities, very light and with greater structural capacities than an elastomer.

(16) In another preferred embodiment it is contemplated that the composite material is formed by an elastomer, an aggregate and an expanded or foamed polymer. The rate of each type of granulated element (aggregate and expanded or foamed polymer) and therefore the density, flexibility and elasticity of the composite material can vary depending on the type of sexual toy it is wished to produce. The mixture of aggregates and expanded material allows to control the density, weight and flexibility; it has to be borne in mind that, depending on the volume of the object, it can be sought to increase or decrease the weight, increase or decrease the rigidity. The adaptability as for the density, flexibility and elasticity of the composite material and therefore of the sexual toy produced with it is a great technical advantage.

(17) The elastomer of the composite material can be of any type, although, preferably, it is among any of the thermoplastic elastomer and more preferably among any of those containing siloxane in the main chain, that means, the silicones.

(18) It is also possible to use latex, as elastomer, because of its low price and its semi-inert nature.

(19) It is also possible to use PVC, as elastomer, because of its low price.

(20) In the best preferred embodiment, the elastomer has a viscosity sufficient to prevent the relative movement of the granulated element within the elastomer in the melted phase.

(21) The composite material, reinforced with particles consists, therefore, in an innovating structure having characteristics unknown to this moment for the object to which it is designed, reasons that, jointly with its practical utility, endow it with ground sufficient to obtain the privilege of exclusivity applied for.

(22) Sufficiently disclosed the nature of this invention, it is not deemed necessary to extend any longer its explanation in order that a person skilled in the art understands its extent and the advantages derived from it, and it is stated that, within its essence, it can be implemented in embodiments that differ in detail of the above mentioned and to which the protection sought shall extend provided that its fundamental is not altered.
