DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0049] The partner toy 1 according to a first embodiment example (FIG. 1) is formed of an elastic material, particularly a silicone material. The partner toy 1 comprises a body 2 curved shaped in design, as a horizontal U in FIG. 1. The body 2 comprises a first leg 4, a second leg 6, and a transition segment 8 between the first and the second leg 4, 6.

[0050] The first leg 4 comprises a back side 10 and a ventral side 12 in the embodiment example shown, wherein the back side 10 is part of an outer contour 88 of the curved shaped body and the ventral side 12 is part of the inner contour 89 of the curved shaped body. When the first leg 4 is vaginally inserted, the back side 10 preferably contacts a dorsal wall of the vagina and the ventral side 12 contacts a ventral wall of the vagina (cf. FIG. 7). The back side 10 is continuously convexly curved in design. The ventral side 12 comprises a first, convex curve segments 14 and a second, convex curve segments 16, wherein the first curve segment 14 and the second curve segments 16 are separated by a notch 18 formed by a concave curvature.

[0051] The back side 10 and the first curve segment 14 form a first massage segment 20, wherein the first massage segments 20 is substantially knobbed in design and is provided for massaging the G-spot 102 (cf. FIG. 7). The back side 10 and the second curve segment 16 further form a second massage segment 22, wherein the second massage segment 22 is substantially cylindrical in design. When the first leg 4 is vaginally inserted, the second massage segment 22 is positioned in the region of the entrance 110 of the vagina 108 and preferably fully contacts the inner wall 112 of the vagina 108 there (cf. FIG. 7). The second massage segment 22 is therefore provided for massaging the inner wall 112 of the vagina 108 and for retaining the first leg 4 in position (cf. FIG. 7).

[0052] A first central axis L.sub.1 of the first leg 4, extending centrally through the first leg 4, is curved in design and runs substantially parallel to the curvature of the back side 10. The entire shape of the first leg 4 is thus adapted to the anatomical conditions of the vagina and thereby improves the comfort of the first leg 4 in the vagina. The shape of the first leg 4 could further be described as kidney-shaped.

[0053] The curvature of the back side 30 also transitions smoothly into the curvature of the transition segment 8 and in this respect forms a common curvature with the curvature of the transition segment 8. A concave curvature 9 is implemented between the ventral side 12 of the first leg 4 and the transition segment 8.

[0054] The transition segment 8 forms a constriction between the first leg 4 and the second leg 6. Said segment is sufficiently thick for preventing a further object or body part from being inserted into the bodily orifice of the first person. Said segment is further sufficiently strong in design that said segment does not buckle, even under increased force applied by the first person for penetrating the second person.

[0055] According to a first design of the cross section along the line A-A in FIG. 1, the cross section of the transition segment 8 is circular in design (cf. FIG. 2). The maximum diameter D.sub.max of the circular cross section lies in a range from 10 mm to 40 mm, particularly preferably in a range from 15 mm to 30 mm. According to a second design of the cross section along the line A-A in FIG. 1, the cross section of the transition segment 8 is oval in design (cf. FIG. 3). The maximum diameter D.sub.max of said second design also lies in a range from 10 mm to 40 mm, particularly preferably in a range from 15 mm to 30 mm.

[0056] The second leg 6 according to the first embodiment example (FIG. 1) is phallus-shaped in design, wherein the second leg 6 comprises a radial expansion 24 at an end proximal to the transition segment 24. The second leg comprises a rounded cap segments 26 at an end distal to the transition segment 8. The region of the radial expansion 24 is not enclosed by any bodily orifice when the first leg is inserted in a bodily orifice of a first person and the second leg is inserted in a bodily opening of a second person.

[0057] The second leg 6 further comprises a curved end face 28. The curved end face 28 contacts the clitoral region of the first person, preferably between the entrance 110 of the vagina 108 and the clitoris 106, when the first leg is vaginally inserted (cf. FIG. 7). Due to the curved design, the end face 28 particularly pleasantly contacts the clitoral region of the first person. The force applied by the first person for penetrating the second person acts perpendicularly on the end face 28 and in the direction of the a second central axis L.sub.2 of the second leg 6, wherein the second central axis L.sub.2 is curved in design in the embodiment example shown according to FIG. 1.

[0058] In the embodiment example according to FIG. 1, the first leg 4 has a first length and the second leg 6 has a second length. The first length of the first leg extends along the curved first central axis L.sub.1 of the first leg 4 from an end A proximal to the transition segment 8 to an end B distal to the transition segment 8 and preferably lies within a range from 5 cm to 12 cm, particularly preferably in a range between 7 cm and 12 cm. The second length of the second leg 6 extends along the curved second central axis L.sub.2 of the second leg 6 from a point D to a point E of the second leg 6, wherein the point D is an intersection between the second central axis L.sub.2 and the end face 28, and wherein point E is an intersection between the second central axis L.sub.2 and an end of the second shaft 6 distal to the transition segment 8. The second length preferably lies in a range from 10 cm to 20 cm, particularly preferably in a range between 12 cm and 18 cm. A ratio between the first length of the first leg 4 and the second length of the second leg 6 preferably lies in a range from 1:1.2 through 1:4, particularly preferably in a range from 1:2 to 1:3. Said length ratio enables particularly good controllability of the second leg 6.

[0059] FIG. 4 shows an internal view (partial section) of the partner toy 1 according to the first embodiment example. The internal view shows the internal clip 30 and the foam core 32 of the partner toy 1. The elastic material of the partner toy 1 enclosing the internal clip 30 and the foam core 32 preferably forms a casing 5 of the partner toy 1, wherein the casing 5 forms the outer contour 88 and the inner contour 89 of the partner toy 1. The mass of the casing 5 preferably lies in a range from 285 grams to 230 grams, particularly preferably in a range from 300 grams to 225 grams. A center of gravity SP of the entire partner toy preferably lies in the region of the radial expansion 24 of the second leg 6. In the embodiment example shown, the center of gravity SP is adjacent to the end face 28.

[0060] The internal clip 30 is formed of a thermoplastic polymer material having a low softening temperature range, particularly a polymorph, a thermoplastic polyester having a softening temperature range from 55° C.-65° C. The internal clip 30, like the body 2 of the partner toy 1, is curved shaped in design, or alternatively a modified or substantially U-shape, wherein a vertex S of the U-shaped portion, internal clip 30 is disposed in the transition segment 8. The internal clip 30 comprises a first end segment 34 and a second end segment 36. The toy is therefore flexible and the shape can be a modified U-shape when not being flexed and then can be bent to be in modified L-shape or alternatively, to be generally linear, with curves as shown in FIG. 7 when in use. The first end segment 34 is disposed in the first leg 4 adjacent to the notch 18. The second end segment 36 is disposed in the region of the radial expansion 24 of the second leg 6, wherein the second end segment 36 is disposed substantially parallel to the end face 28 of the second leg 6.

[0061] In the exploded view according to FIG. 5, it is evident that the first and second end segments 34, 36 each comprise a protrusion 38, cuboid in design, extending on one side of the internal clip 30. The protrusion 38 of the first end segment 34 extends on the same side as the protrusion 38 of the second end segment 36. The protrusion 38 comprises a chamfered bottom edge 30 and a chamfered top edge 42, wherein the chamfered bottom edge 40 expands in the direction of a lateral surface 44 of the internal clip 30 and conforms to the geometry of said lateral surface 44. The internal clip 30 is preferably anchored in the body 2 by means of the two end segments, so that shifting of the internal clip 30 is prevented. The internal clip 30 according to FIG. 5 further comprises small protrusions 46 by means of which the internal clip 30 is anchored in the body 2.

[0062] The internal clip 30 according to the first embodiment example comprises a rectangular cross section having a first side 48 and a second side 50 (cf. cross section along the line G-G per FIG. 5). A first side length of the first side 48 preferably lies in a range from 1 mm to 25 mm, further preferably in a range from 2 mm to 20 mm, particularly preferably in a range from 2 mm to 12 mm. A second side length of the second side 50 preferably lies in a range from 1 mm to 25 mm, further preferably in a range from 2 mm to 20 mm, particularly preferably in a range from 2 mm to 12 mm. According to the cross section along the line G-G, the first side 48 and the second side 50 have the same side length, and the cross section is therefore a square cross section.

[0063] The foam core 32 according to FIGS. 4 and 5 is formed of a polyethylene material. The foam core 32 thus has high shape stability, low density, and sufficient pliability. The foam core 32 is disposed in the second leg 6 and is entirely enclosed by the elastic material of the body 2. In the embodiment example according to FIGS. 4 and 5, the foam core 32 emulates the shape of the second leg 6 and is therefore also phallus-shaped in design. The foam core 32 comprises a radial foam core expansion 52 at an end proximal to the transition segment and a rounded foam core cap segments 54 at an end distal to the transition segment. The foam core 32 comprises a third, curved central axis L.sub.3 running coaxial to the central axis L.sub.2 of the second leg.

[0064] The foam core 32 reinforces the second leg 6 and is substantially perpendicular to the curved end face 28 of the second leg 6. The second end segment 36 of the internal clip 30 is disposed between the curved end face 28 and the foam core 32 and it is preferable that the foam core 32 and the second end segment 36 are not connected to each other.

[0065] FIG. 6 shows an exploded view according to a second embodiment example of the partner toy 1, wherein the substantial difference is that no foam core 32, but rather a drive 56 for generating mechanical vibrations, is disposed in the second leg 6. The partner toy 1 according to the second embodiment example, like the partner toy 1 according to the first embodiment example, is formed of an elastic material, particularly a silicone material. The partner toy 1 according to the second embodiment example further comprises a body 2 having a curved shaped design. The body 2 further comprises a first leg 4, a second leg 6, and a transition segment 8 between the first and the second leg.

[0066] The first leg 4 is substantially identical to the first leg according to the first embodiment example, so that reference is made in full to the above description of the first leg 4. The second leg 6 also substantially matches the second leg of the first embodiment example. The curved end face 28, however, is more prominent in design in the second embodiment example in comparison with the first embodiment example. An offset 58 having a beveled surface is implemented at the end of the first leg 6 proximal to the transition 8. The offset 58 having the beveled surface forms a limit up to which the second leg can be inserted into a bodily orifice of the second person.

[0067] The internal clip 30, as in the first embodiment example, is formed of a thermoplastic polymer material having a low softening temperature range, particularly a polymorph, a thermoplastic polyester having a softening temperature range from 55° C. to 65° C., and comprises a first end segments 34 and a second end segment 36. The first end segment 34, like the internal clip 30 according to the first embodiment example, comprises a protrusion 38. The protrusion 38 extends, however, not only on one side of the internal clip 30, but rather on both sides of the internal clip 30, so that the first end segments 34 is more T-shaped in design. Said segments could, however, also extend on only one side, as in the first embodiment example, or could be completely different in design. The internal clip 30 is anchored in the body 2 by means of the T-shaped end segment 34.

[0068] A further difference is that a protrusion 60 is implemented at the second end segments 36 of the clip 30. The protrusion 60 forms a straight segment of the internal clip 30 and has a rectangular cross section here, for example. The protrusion 60 preferably has a length in a range from 10 mm to 40 mm. The protrusion 60 is connected to a first connecting segment 64 of a connecting element 62. The protrusion 60 can be connected to the first connecting segment 64 o the connecting element 62 in a form-fit, force-fit, and/or adhesive manner by means of any arbitrary joining method. For example the protrusion 60 is glued or screwed to the connecting segment 64. The internal clip 30 can further be implemented integrally with the connecting element 62 and/or the connecting segment 64. In the embodiment example shown, the first connecting segment 64 is implemented in the shape of a pocket having a rectangular cross section, and the protrusion 60 is at least partially inserted into the first connecting segment 64 in a form-fit manner. It is preferable that the protrusion 60 is fully inserted into the first connecting segment 64. The connecting element 62 is not absolutely necessary, and in other embodiments the connecting segment 63 an also be disposed or implemented directly on the drive support 68. It is also conceivable that the protrusion 60 is directly attached to the drive support 68.

[0069] The internal clip 30 is rigidly connected to the drive 56 by means of the connecting element 62. The drive 56 is therefore anchored in the body 2. The internal clip 30 can thus have two functions. The internal clip 30 is provided for aligning the first leg 4 and the second leg 6 to each other. The internal clip 30 can also be provided for anchoring the drive 56 in the body 2.

[0070] The connecting element 62 further comprises a second connecting segment 66 connected to a drive support 68. The second connecting segment 66 according to FIG. 6 is formed by holes, here four holes, so that the connecting element 62 is connected to the drive support 58 by means of screws 70 in a force-fit and form-fit manner.

[0071] The drive 56, particularly a vibration drive, and a damping sleeve 72 are disposed in the drive support 68. A closure cap 74 closes off the drive support 68. The drive 56 is connected to an energy source 76 for supplying the drive 56 with electrical energy, and to an electronic control unit 77 for actuating the drive 56. The energy source 76 is preferably a rechargeable battery and the electronic control unit 77 is a circuit board 78 including a protective film 80. The drive 56, energy source 76, and electronic control unit 77 are disposed in the second leg 6, so that the drive 56 generates mechanical vibrations in the second leg 6.

[0072] The drive 56 shown in FIG. 6 is cylindrical in design and comprises a fourth longitudinal axis L.sub.4 extending coaxially to the second longitudinal axis L.sub.2 of the second leg 6 when the drive 56 is disposed in the second leg 6. The mechanical vibrations generated are thus generated uniformly in the second leg 6 and the massage is perceived as particularly pleasant.

[0073] The electronic control unit 77 is coupled to a control element 82. In the embodiment example shown in FIG. 6, the control element 82 comprises a control knob 84 for switching the drive 56 on and off. The control element 82 is disposed in a recess 86 at the outer contour 88 of the body 2. The recess 86 is implemented opposite the curved end face 28 of the second leg 6, and further disposed such that the offset 58 having the beveled surface is disposed above the recess 86, wherein above means that the offset 58 having the beveled surface is disposed nearer to the cap segment 26 of the second leg 6. Because the offset 58 serves as a boundary up to which the second leg 6 can be inserted into a bodily orifice of the second person, the control element 82 therefore does not make contact with the body of the second person during penetration. The control element 82 also does not contact the body of the first person. The control element 82 according to FIG. 6 further comprises a cover 90 by means of which the control element 82 is attached to the body 2. The control element 82 including the cover 90 is disposed in the recess 86 such that said element forms a continuous outer contour 88 together with the body 2. Only the control knob 84 itself forms a haptic protrusion in the continuous outer contour 88 of the body 2.

[0074] FIG. 7 shows the partner toy 1, wherein the first leg 4 is vaginally inserted in a first person. The first leg is retained in the vagina 108 by the musculature of the pelvic floor 100. The first massage segments 20 is implemented for massaging the G-spot 102. The first massage segments 20 preferably presses on the G-spot 102. The second massage segments 22 contacts the inner wall 112 of the vagina 108 and massages the same. The second massage segment 22 preferably completely covers the entrance 110 of the vagina.

[0075] The end face 28 of the second leg 6 substantially contacts the clitoral region of the first person. The end face 28 extends from the ventral side of the entrance 110 of the vagina 108 across the outlet of the urethra 104 to the clitoris 106, wherein the end face 28 does not directly contact the clitoris 106 in the embodiment example shown. It is preferable that the end face 29 contacts the clitoris 106 for massaging the same. The second leg 6 is an emulation of a natural penis comprising a penis shaft and a penis head. The second central axis L.sub.2 of the second leg 6 can be thought of as a continuation of the urethra 104, as for a natural penis. Unlike a strap-on, wherein the dildo is disposed at the height of the waist of the first person for penetrating a second person, the arrangement of the second leg 6 of the partner toy is significantly more natural. The partner toy 1, as a “strapless dildo,” enables particularly realistic penetration of a second person.

[0076] A line Q and a line R are drawn in FIG. 7 for depicting the geometry of the second leg 6. Line Q lies in a plane perpendicular to the second central axis L.sub.2 at point D, wherein the point D is an intersection between the second central axis L.sub.2 and the end face 28. Line R lies in a plane perpendicular to the second central axis L.sub.2 at point E, wherein point E is an intersection between the second central axis L.sub.2 and an end of the second shaft 6 distal to the transition segment 8. Lines R and Q enclose an angle α. The angle α preferably lies in a range from 20° to 90°, at about 70° in the embodiment example shown.
