Definitions
- the invention relates to a modular sexual assistance device, easily installable on the ground or on a bed, comprising one or two secure structures able to carry one or two users in motion and comprising a multifunction device monodirectional or bidirectional to support various accessories and to modulate the architecture of the whole.
- Such a device can be used for sexual intercourse or alone, for a recreational purpose or medical rehabilitation without having to hold a vaginal sex toy or vaginal dilator, or solicit a third party.
- Sexual assistance devices of the type indicated above and intended for persons who are valid or disabled, are described in the following patent documents. In these sexual assistance devices, known to carry the user, functionality and modularity are not combined to offer a wide range of use regardless of the orientations and sexual practices of users alone or in pairs.
- US7524283B1 discloses a machine consisting of a fixed base and a movable platform (on which a user takes place) reciprocating with an eccentric system driven by a motor.
- a phallic sextoy is secured to said fixed base for sexual assistance for a single person.
- This machine also allows a couple of partners to have sex, a first partner standing and a second partner lying on the mobile platform. The latter is adapted to a disabled user.
- the traveling frequency of the mobile platform supporting the handicapped user is 10 to 200 cycles per minute, which is difficult to imagine in the high range (for example, at most 100 cycles per minute).
- the utility of this machine is limited to phallic sex toys for a single user or in pairs (with a standing partner). Accessibility for people with disabilities seems random especially in the example of sexual application table. Indeed, the machine according to US7524283B1 does not take into consideration a concept of transfer of a wheelchair on the sex table and its safety aspect, nor the degree of disability.
- US2003 / 01 1 1876A1 describes a swinging bench that can carry a user who, under the action of arms, legs or other mobile part of his body, oscillates a mobile support.
- a phallic sextoy is attached to the structure for sexual assistance for a single person.
- a person standing can also have sex with the user of the swing bench.
- this swing bench is not intended to be used by a disabled person.
- US7431036B2 discloses a leg-mounted apparatus enabling persons with disabilities to have sex with a valid person.
- This device has two coplanar platforms: the first platform is immobile because of the support (to support a seated man) and the second platform is mobile: it is adapted to a woman lying so that both partners is one in front of each other.
- US2008 / 0271241 A1 describes a pendulum chair on which a person sits. She can use her hands and arms to reciprocate the seat of the chair to have sex with a partner on a folding bed facing the chair. This chair and bed are foldable, light and compact. This pendulum chair is only intended for sexual intercourse and does not have a device to add accessories such as sex toys.
- Other assistive devices are described in US6199552B1, BE1018234A6, JPH08224274A.
- the invention relates to a modular sexual assistance device adapted to be installed on the ground or on a bed and comprising a first secure structure adapted to carry at least a first user in motion.

Abstract
Description
Appareil d'assistance sexuelle modulable Modular sexual assistance device
L'invention concerne un appareil d'assistance sexuelle modulable, facilement installable sur le sol ou sur un lit, comprenant une ou deux structures sécurisées aptes à porter un ou deux utilisateurs en mouvement et comportant un dispositif multifonction monodirectionnel ou bidirectionnel pour supporter divers accessoires et pour moduler l'architecture de l'ensemble. The invention relates to a modular sexual assistance device, easily installable on the ground or on a bed, comprising one or two secure structures able to carry one or two users in motion and comprising a multifunction device monodirectional or bidirectional to support various accessories and to modulate the architecture of the whole.
Un tel appareil peut être utilisé pour un rapport sexuel ou bien seul, dans un but ludique ou de rééducation médicale sans avoir à tenir à la main un sextoy ou un dilatateur vaginal, ou solliciter un tiers. Des appareils d'assistance sexuelle de type indiqué ci-dessus et destinés à des personnes valides ou handicapées, sont décrits dans les documents de brevet qui suivent. Dans ces appareils d'assistance sexuelle, connus pour porter l'utilisateur, la fonctionnalité et la modularité ne sont pas combinées pour offrir un large champ d'utilisation quelles que soient les orientations et les pratiques sexuelles des utilisateurs seuls ou en couple. Such a device can be used for sexual intercourse or alone, for a recreational purpose or medical rehabilitation without having to hold a vaginal sex toy or vaginal dilator, or solicit a third party. Sexual assistance devices of the type indicated above and intended for persons who are valid or disabled, are described in the following patent documents. In these sexual assistance devices, known to carry the user, functionality and modularity are not combined to offer a wide range of use regardless of the orientations and sexual practices of users alone or in pairs.
La volumétrie et l'encombrement de certains de ces appareils sont très importants et contraignants pour une utilisation courante et domestique. D'autres sont pliables et ne sont pas encombrants à l'utilisation et au rangement. Toutefois, la sécurité d'accès et d'utilisation ne semble pas aboutie pour les personnes handicapées. The volumetry and bulk of some of these devices are very important and binding for everyday and domestic use. Others are foldable and are not bulky for use and storage. However, the security of access and use does not seem to be successful for people with disabilities.
US7524283B1 décrit une machine constituée d'une base fixe et d'une plate-forme mobile (sur laquelle prend place un utilisateur) à mouvement alternatif avec un système excentrique piloté par un moteur. Un sextoy phallique est solidaire de ladite base fixe pour une assistance sexuelle pour une personne seule. Cette machine permet aussi à un couple de partenaires d'avoir une relation sexuelle, un premier partenaire étant debout et un deuxième partenaire étant allongé sur la plate-forme mobile. Cette dernière est adaptée à un utilisateur handicapé. La fréquence de déplacement de la plate-forme mobile supportant l'utilisateur handicapé est de 10 à 200 cycles par minute, ce qui est difficile à imaginer en plage haute (par exemple, à plus de 100 cycles par minute). L'utilité de cette machine est limitée aux sextoys phalliques pour un utilisateur seul ou en couple (avec un partenaire debout). Une accessibilité pour les personnes handicapées semble aléatoire notamment dans l'exemple d'application en table sexuelle. En effet, la machine selon US7524283B1 ne prend pas en considération une notion de transfert d'un fauteuil roulant sur la table sexuelle et son aspect sécuritaire, ni le degré de handicap. US7524283B1 discloses a machine consisting of a fixed base and a movable platform (on which a user takes place) reciprocating with an eccentric system driven by a motor. A phallic sextoy is secured to said fixed base for sexual assistance for a single person. This machine also allows a couple of partners to have sex, a first partner standing and a second partner lying on the mobile platform. The latter is adapted to a disabled user. The traveling frequency of the mobile platform supporting the handicapped user is 10 to 200 cycles per minute, which is difficult to imagine in the high range (for example, at most 100 cycles per minute). The utility of this machine is limited to phallic sex toys for a single user or in pairs (with a standing partner). Accessibility for people with disabilities seems random especially in the example of sexual application table. Indeed, the machine according to US7524283B1 does not take into consideration a concept of transfer of a wheelchair on the sex table and its safety aspect, nor the degree of disability.
US2003/01 1 1876A1 décrit un banc oscillant pouvant porter un utilisateur qui, sous l'action des bras, des jambes ou autres partie mobile de son corps, fait osciller un support mobile. Un sextoy phallique est solidaire de la structure pour une assistance sexuelle pour une personne seule. Une personne debout peut aussi avoir une relation sexuelle avec l'utilisateur du banc oscillant. Cependant, ce banc oscillant n'est pas prévu pour être utilisé par une personne handicapée. US7431036B2 décrit un appareil sur piètement permettant aux personnes handicapées d'avoir une relation sexuelle avec une personne valide. Cet appareil dispose de deux plateformes coplanaires : la première plateforme étant immobile car solidaire du piètement (pour supporter un homme assis) et la deuxième plateforme étant mobile : elle est adaptée à une femme couchée de manière à ce que les deux partenaires soit l'un en face de l'autre. La deuxième plateforme mobile se déplace linéairement sous l'action motrice manuelle de l'homme assis. Cet appareil est uniquement prévu pour un rapport sexuel et ne dispose pas de dispositif pour y ajouter des accessoires tels que des sextoys. US2008/0271241 A1 décrit une chaise à mouvement pendulaire sur lequel prend place une personne. Elle peut générer, à l'aide de ses mains et de ses bras, un mouvement alternatif de l'assise de la chaise afin d'avoir un rapport sexuel avec un partenaire installé sur un lit pliant face à la chaise. Cette chaise et le lit sont pliables, légers et peu encombrants. Cette chaise à mouvement pendulaire est uniquement prévue pour un rapport sexuel et ne dispose pas de dispositif pour y ajouter des accessoires tels que des sextoys. D'autres appareils d'assistance sexuelle sont décrits dans US6199552B1 , BE1018234A6, JPH08224274A. US2003 / 01 1 1876A1 describes a swinging bench that can carry a user who, under the action of arms, legs or other mobile part of his body, oscillates a mobile support. A phallic sextoy is attached to the structure for sexual assistance for a single person. A person standing can also have sex with the user of the swing bench. However, this swing bench is not intended to be used by a disabled person. US7431036B2 discloses a leg-mounted apparatus enabling persons with disabilities to have sex with a valid person. This device has two coplanar platforms: the first platform is immobile because of the support (to support a seated man) and the second platform is mobile: it is adapted to a woman lying so that both partners is one in front of each other. The second mobile platform moves linearly under the manual driving action of the seated man. This device is only intended for sexual intercourse and does not have a device to add accessories such as sex toys. US2008 / 0271241 A1 describes a pendulum chair on which a person sits. She can use her hands and arms to reciprocate the seat of the chair to have sex with a partner on a folding bed facing the chair. This chair and bed are foldable, light and compact. This pendulum chair is only intended for sexual intercourse and does not have a device to add accessories such as sex toys. Other assistive devices are described in US6199552B1, BE1018234A6, JPH08224274A.
Plus précisément, selon un premier de ses aspects, l'invention concerne un appareil d'assistance sexuelle modulable adapté à être installé sur le sol ou sur un lit et comprenant une première structure sécurisée apte à porter au moins un premier utilisateur en mouvement. Ladite première structure sécurisée comprend un chariot mobile disposé sur un guidage linéaire et monté sur un premier socle. Le guidage linéaire comprend un dispositif de sécurité. Un tel appareil d'assistance sexuelle modulable est illustré sur la figureMore specifically, according to a first of its aspects, the invention relates to a modular sexual assistance device adapted to be installed on the ground or on a bed and comprising a first secure structure adapted to carry at least a first user in motion. Said first secure structure comprises a mobile carriage disposed on a linear guide and mounted on a first base. Linear guidance includes a safety device. Such a modular sexual assistance apparatus is illustrated in the figure
1 et est décrit dans US2006/0004251 A1 . Il est adapté à être installé sur le sol ou sur un lit et comprend notamment une première structure 300 sécurisée apte à porter au moins un premier utilisateur en mouvement. Ladite première structure 300 sécurisée comprend un chariot mobile 306 disposé sur un guidage linéaire 302 et monté sur un premier socle 304. Le guidage linéaire 302 comprend un dispositif de sécurité. Ce dernier comporte une pluralité des roues de guidage 310 et des membres élastiques de rappel 316. 1 and is described in US2006 / 0004251 A1. It is adapted to be installed on the ground or on a bed and comprises in particular a first secure structure 300 able to carry at least a first user in motion. Said first secure structure 300 comprises a mobile carriage 306 disposed on a linear guide 302 and mounted on a first base 304. The linear guide 302 comprises a safety device. The latter comprises a plurality of guide wheels 310 and resilient return members 316.
L'appareil d'assistance sexuelle selon US2006/0004251 A1 présente un inconvénient : son guidage linéaire 302 et, en particulier, son dispositif de sécurité 310, 316, est insuffisant pour répondre aux besoins spécifiques des utilisateurs handicapés en matière de contrôle d'une course linéaire du chariot mobile 306. The sexual assistance apparatus according to US2006 / 0004251 A1 has a disadvantage: its linear guide 302 and, in particular, its safety device 310, 316, is insufficient to meet the specific needs of users with disabilities in controlling a Linear stroke of the moving carriage 306.
Il est rappelé à ce titre, que ces personnes en situation de handicap n'ont souvent aucune sensation en dessous du bassin. De même, elles peuvent ne pas contrôler finement leur gestuelle. Or, cette dernière est transmise au guidage linéaire qui, à son tour, détermine, entre autres, une force et/ou une amplitude avec laquelle un sextoy (par exemple, du type « sextoy phallique >> ou « sextoy orifice >>) lié à l'appareil d'assistance sexuelle agit sur/dans un corps de l'utilisateur handicapé. Cependant, en absence des sensations en dessous du bassin, cet utilisateur handicapé de l'appareil d'assistance sexuelle est privé d'un fiable signal de retour de nature physiologique (par exemple, en forme d'une douleur perceptible). De ce fait, il lui est impossible d'ajuster à temps sa gestuelle (nécessairement imparfaite car difficilement contrôlable, comme expliqué ci-dessus) pour limiter un déplacement du guidage linéaire et, in fine, la force et/ou la amplitude avec laquelle ledit sextoy agit sur/dans son corps. Cette réalité dynamique complexe (due, à la fois, à la gestuelle incertaine et à l'absence du signal de retour fiable) propre aux utilisateurs handicapés de l'appareil d'assistance sexuelle, impose des contraintes particulières au guidage linéaire pour éviter des complications du type : As such, it is recalled that these people with disabilities often have no sensation below the pool. Similarly, they may not control their gestures finely. However, the latter is transmitted to the linear guidance which, in turn, determines, inter alia, a force and / or an amplitude with which a sextoy (for example, of the type "sextoy phallic" or "sextoy orifice") linked to the Sexual Assist Device acts on / in a body of the disabled user. However, in the absence of sensations below the pelvis, this disabled user of the apparatus sexual assistance is deprived of a reliable physiological feedback signal (for example, in the form of perceptible pain). As a result, it is impossible for him to adjust his gesture in time (necessarily imperfect because it is difficult to control, as explained above) to limit a displacement of the linear guide and, ultimately, the force and / or the amplitude with which said sextoy acts on / in his body. This complex dynamic reality (due, at the same time, to the uncertain gestures and the absence of the reliable return signal) specific to the handicapped users of the sexual assistance apparatus, imposes particular constraints on the linear guidance to avoid complications like :
• lésions vaginales ou anales lors d'une intrusion brutale ou excessive d'un sextoy phallique ; • Vaginal or anal lesions during a sudden or excessive intrusion of a phallic sex toy;
• fracture du pénis lors d'un choc lié à une pénétration ratée d'un sextoy orifice. Comme illustré sur la figure 1 , les membres élastiques de rappel 316 sont munis de crochets ouverts qui peuvent se décrocher aisément (soit du premier socle 304, soit du chariot mobile 306), de manière hasardeuse, à tout moment, notamment à cause de la gestuelle incertaine et/ou mal contrôlée (en absence dudit signal de retour) de l'utilisateur handicapé. Cela peut causer soit l'une des graves complications évoquées ci-dessus, soit un déraillement de la première structure 300 suite à une sortie des roues de guidage 310 hors du guidage linéaire 302. Un tel déraillement peut provoquer une chute de l'utilisateur handicapé ce qui est insatisfaisant. • fracture of the penis during a shock related to a failed penetration of a sextoy orifice. As illustrated in FIG. 1, the elastic return members 316 are provided with open hooks that can easily unhook (either from the first base 304 or from the mobile carriage 306), in a hazardous manner, at any time, in particular because of the gesture uncertain and / or poorly controlled (in the absence of said return signal) of the disabled user. This can cause either one of the serious complications mentioned above, or a derailment of the first structure 300 following an output of the guide wheels 310 out of the linear guide 302. Such a derailment can cause a fall of the disabled user which is unsatisfactory.
La présente invention, qui s'appuie sur cette observation originale, a principalement pour but de proposer un appareil d'assistance sexuelle modulable visant au moins à réduire une limitation précédemment évoquée. A cette fin, l'appareil d'assistance sexuelle modulable, par ailleurs conforme à la définition générique ci-dessus, est caractérisé en ce que : The present invention, which is based on this original observation, is primarily intended to provide a modular sexual assistance apparatus for at least reducing a previously mentioned limitation. To this end, the modular sexual assistance apparatus, which is also in accordance with the generic definition above, is characterized in that:
• le dispositif de sécurité est adapté à contrôler une course linéaire du chariot mobile, • le guidage linéaire comprend un système d'asservissement du chariot par un premier câble élastique en tension, The safety device is adapted to control a linear stroke of the mobile carriage, The linear guide comprises a system for controlling the carriage by a first elastic cable under tension,
• le premier câble élastique comporte une boule d'arrêt et est adapté à passer, à la fois, dans un taquet coinceur solidaire du premier socle et dans un premier anneau solidaire du chariot, et The first elastic cable comprises a stop ball and is adapted to pass, at the same time, in a jam cleat secured to the first base and in a first ring integral with the carriage, and
• un premier état tendu du premier câble élastique est défini, à la fois, par un mouvement de la boule d'arrêt le long du premier socle et par un état de serrage du premier câble élastique dans le taquet coinceur. A first taut state of the first elastic cable is defined, at the same time, by a movement of the stop ball along the first base and by a tightening state of the first elastic cable in the jamming cleat.
Grâce à cet agencement, le guidage linéaire présente une architecture qui garantit à un utilisateur handicapé un niveau accru de sécurité et de fiabilité. En effet, le système d'asservissement du chariot par le premier câble élastique en tension permet de contrôler et de limiter une course du chariot mobile (grâce à une raideur sélective dudit premier câble élastique adapté à cet usage). En plus, le premier câble élastique ne peut pas se décrocher aisément et/ou hasardeusement car son passage est sécurisé : With this arrangement, the linear guidance has an architecture that guarantees a disabled user an increased level of security and reliability. Indeed, the servo system of the carriage by the first elastic tension cable allows to control and limit a stroke of the movable carriage (thanks to a selective stiffness of said first elastic cable adapted for this purpose). In addition, the first elastic cable can not unhook easily and / or randomly because its passage is secure:
• avec la boule d'arrêt au niveau du taquet coinceur solidaire du premier socle, et • with the stop ball at the jamming cleat secured to the first base, and
• avec le premier anneau solidaire du chariot. • with the first ring secured to the carriage.
Enfin, le premier état tendu du premier câble élastique dispose d'un double réglage (en le tirant par la boule d'arrêt et en le serrant dans le taquet coinceur). Cela permet à l'utilisateur handicapé de régler précisément une course souhaité du chariot mobile de manière à ce que cette course ne soit pas perturbée par la gestuelle mal contrôlée. A titre d'exemple, il est ainsi possible de limiter précisément une amplitude de la course du chariot mobile à quelques centimètres seulement afin qu'un homme handicapé ne puisse pénétrer le sextoy orifice qu'avec le gland de son pénis. Cela élargit des possibilités fonctionnelles de l'appareil d'assistance sexuelle modulable selon l'invention et, en particulier, le rend adapté à une rééducation médicale liée à des pathologies sexuelles chez des personnes handicapées. De préférence, le chariot comporte un butoir. En outre, le dispositif de sécurité comporte un deuxième câble relié à une butée avant solidaire du premier socle et à un deuxième anneau arrière solidaire du chariot. Dans ces conditions, un début de course linéaire du chariot est défini par le butoir coopérant avec la butée avant et le deuxième câble, présente un deuxième état tendu à la fin de course linéaire du chariot. Finally, the first stretched state of the first elastic cable has a double adjustment (by pulling it by the stop ball and tightening it in the cleat). This allows the disabled user to precisely set a desired stroke of the mobile cart so that this race is not disturbed by poorly controlled gestures. For example, it is thus possible to precisely limit an amplitude of the stroke of the movable carriage to a few centimeters only so that a disabled man can penetrate the sextoy orifice with the penis of his penis. This broadens the functional possibilities of the modular sexual assistance apparatus according to the invention and, in particular, makes it suitable for medical rehabilitation related to sexual pathologies in persons with disabilities. Preferably, the carriage comprises a bumper. In addition, the safety device comprises a second cable connected to a front stop secured to the first base and to a second rear ring secured to the carriage. Under these conditions, a beginning of linear travel of the carriage is defined by the stop cooperating with the front stop and the second cable, has a second state stretched to the end of linear stroke of the carriage.
Grâce à cet agencement, il est possible d'assurer un guidage linéaire sécurisé du chariot mobile à amplitude libre et finement contrôlée, conformément aux exigences des médecins lors de la rééducation médicale liée à des pathologies sexuelles chez des personnes handicapées. Thanks to this arrangement, it is possible to ensure secure linear guidance of the free amplitude and finely controlled mobile carriage, in accordance with the requirements of doctors during medical rehabilitation related to sexual diseases in persons with disabilities.
De préférence, le dispositif de sécurité comporte l'un au moins parmi des modules suivants : (a) barre de main courante réglable adaptée à servir comme un appui pour le premier utilisateur ; (b) dossier réglable comportant une minerve réglable adapté à soutenir le corps du premier utilisateur ; (c) barrière de sécurité latérale réglable adaptée à stabiliser un positionnement du premier utilisateur sur le chariot mobile ; (d) barrière de sécurité latérale amovible adaptée à faciliter l'accès au premier utilisateur ; (e) orthèse de jambe réglable adaptée à soutenir la jambe du premier utilisateur ; (f) bloc appui main adapté à soutenir la main du premier utilisateur ; (g) ceinture adaptée à sangler le premier utilisateur en mouvement sur le chariot mobile. Preferably, the safety device comprises at least one of the following modules: (a) adjustable handrail bar adapted to serve as a support for the first user; (b) adjustable backrest having an adjustable neck brace adapted to support the body of the first user; (c) an adjustable lateral safety barrier adapted to stabilize a positioning of the first user on the movable carriage; (d) removable lateral safety barrier adapted to facilitate access to the first user; (e) adjustable leg brace adapted to support the leg of the first user; (f) hand support block adapted to support the hand of the first user; (g) belt adapted to strap the first user in motion on the movable carriage.
Cet agencement élargit des possibilités fonctionnelles de l'appareil d'assistance sexuelle modulable selon l'invention et, en particulier, le rend adapté, sur le plan ergonomique (notamment en termes de réglage), quelle que soit une position (assise, allongée, à genoux) préconisée par le médecin au cours de la rééducation médicale liée aux pathologies sexuelles chez les personnes handicapées. This arrangement widens the functional possibilities of the modular sexual assistance apparatus according to the invention and, in particular, makes it ergonomically adapted (in particular in terms of adjustment), whatever the position (sitting, elongated, kneeling) advocated by the doctor during medical rehabilitation related to sexual diseases in persons with disabilities.
Avantageusement, le premier socle peut être supporté par des traverses. Advantageously, the first base can be supported by sleepers.
Cet agencement rend l'appareil d'assistance sexuelle modulable selon l'invention, à la fois, plus stable et compact. Cela élargit ses possibilités fonctionnelles en rendant ledit appareil facile à manipuler et/ou à transporter par l'utilisateur handicapé (le poids de l'appareil étant limité, de préférence, à 8 kg). De même, ces traverses (qui peuvent être démontable pour faciliter le transport dudit appareil) permettent de stabiliser le premier socle sur un matelas d'un lit pour une sécurité antichute accrue de l'utilisateur handicapé. This arrangement makes the sexual assistance apparatus adaptable according to the invention, both more stable and compact. This expands its possibilities functional by making said apparatus easy to handle and / or to carry by the disabled user (the weight of the apparatus being limited, preferably, to 8 kg). Similarly, these sleepers (which can be removable to facilitate the transport of said apparatus) allow to stabilize the first base on a mattress of a bed for increased fall protection of the disabled user.
De préférence, le dispositif de sécurité comporte une barre de main courante réglable adaptée à servir un appui pour le premier utilisateur. Dans ces conditions, l'appareil d'assistance sexuelle modulable comporte une tablette vidéo positionnée sur la barre de main courante réglable à l'aide d'un premier support. Preferably, the safety device comprises an adjustable handrail bar adapted to serve as a support for the first user. Under these conditions, the modular sexual assistance device comprises a video tablet positioned on the adjustable handrail bar using a first support.
Cela élargit des possibilités fonctionnelles de l'appareil selon l'invention. En particulier, cela permet de donner des cours de rééducation médicale (liée aux pathologies sexuelles chez les personnes handicapées) à distance, le médecin intervenant par l'intermédiaire des moyens de télécommunication connectés à la tablette vidéo. This broadens the functional possibilities of the apparatus according to the invention. In particular, this allows to give medical rehabilitation courses (related to sexual pathologies in persons with disabilities) remotely, the doctor intervening through the telecommunication means connected to the video tablet.
De préférence, l'appareil d'assistance sexuelle modulable selon l'invention comporte une deuxième structure sécurisée apte à porter au moins un deuxième utilisateur en mouvement. La deuxième structure sécurisée est identique à la première structure sécurisée, les première et deuxième structures étant couplées, de manière réglable, l'une à l'autre, et étant adaptées à permettre aux premier et deuxième utilisateurs d'avoir une relation sexuelle en étant assis, l'un en face de l'autre. Preferably, the modular sexual assistance apparatus according to the invention comprises a second secure structure capable of carrying at least a second user in motion. The second secure structure is identical to the first secure structure, the first and second structures being adjustably coupled to each other, and being adapted to allow the first and second users to have sexual relations while being sitting, facing each other.
Cet agencement élargit des possibilités fonctionnelles de l'appareil selon l'invention. En particulier, cela permet d'assurer une non-discrimination du premier utilisateur handicapé par rapport au deuxième utilisateur valide. En outre, cet architecture traduit un esprit évolutif de l'appareil d'assistance sexuelle modulable selon l'invention conçu à des fins de rééducation médicale liée aux pathologies sexuelles chez les personnes handicapées pour permettre au patient de l'utiliser par la suite dans sa vie courante. Cela renforce un impact psychologique bénéfique de ladite rééducation médicale. De préférence, l'appareil d'assistance sexuelle modulable selon l'invention comprend une base liée de manière réglable au premier socle et portant un deuxième support comportant une interface mécanique réglable adaptée à fixer un sextoy. Cet agencement élargit des possibilités fonctionnelles de l'appareil selon l'invention en le rendant plus ergonomique pour tes personnes en situation de handicap quelle que soit sa corpulence (taille, poids), son type d'handicap, ses pratiques sexuelles. This arrangement enlarges the functional possibilities of the apparatus according to the invention. In particular, this makes it possible to ensure non-discrimination of the first disabled user with respect to the second valid user. In addition, this architecture reflects an evolving spirit of the modular sexual assistance apparatus according to the invention designed for medical rehabilitation related to sexual diseases in persons with disabilities to allow the patient to use it later in his daily life.

Ladite première structure A sécurisée comprend un chariot 12 mobile disposé sur un guidage linéaire et monté sur un premier socle 8. Le guidage linéaire comprend un dispositif de sécurité. The state of the art known in FIG. 1 has already been discussed above: its description is therefore not repeated here. As previously announced and illustrated in Figures 2 to 6, the invention relates, according to a first of its aspects, a modular sexual assistance device adapted to be installed on the floor or on a bed and comprising a first structure A secured apt to carry at least one first user in motion. Said first secure structure A comprises a mobile carriage 12 arranged on a linear guide and mounted on a first base 8. The linear guide comprises a safety device.
Selon l'invention, le dispositif de sécurité est adapté à contrôler une course linéaire du chariot 12 mobile. La figure 2 montre en détail une première structure A de l'appareil selon l'invention, en coupe, avec un demi-train de roulement du chariot 12 mobile monté sur le guidage linéaire. Ce dernier est sécurisé par un dispositif de butées et équipé d'un système d'asservissement par un premier câble élastique 30, selon l'invention. Le guidage linéaire est, de préférence, constitué de quatre galets diabolos, boulonnés sur le chariot 12 mobile, pour le demi-train, 14 et 15, qui roulent sur un rail 13. Une course linéaire du chariot 12 mobile est sécurisée par un deuxième câble 19 relié à une butée avant 16. Cette dernière est solidaire du premier socle 8. Le deuxième câble 19 est aussi relié à un deuxième anneau arrière 17 solidaire du chariot 12 mobile. La course linéaire du chariot 12 mobile est définie par un contact de son butoir 18 avec la butée avant 16 et le deuxième câble 19 tendu. According to the invention, the safety device is adapted to control a linear stroke of the mobile carriage 12. Figure 2 shows in detail a first structure A of the apparatus according to the invention, in section, with a half-running carriage 12 movable mounted on the linear guide. The latter is secured by a stop device and equipped with a servo system by a first elastic cable 30, according to the invention. The linear guide is preferably constituted by four diabolic rollers, bolted on the mobile carriage 12, for the half-train, 14 and 15, which roll on a rail 13. A linear stroke of the mobile carriage 12 is secured by a second cable 19 connected to a front stop 16. The latter is secured to the first base 8. The second cable 19 is also connected to a second rear ring 17 integral with the carriage 12 mobile.

La tension du premier câble élastique 30 est obtenue en tirant ou relâchant plus ou moins la boule d'arrêt 33 et en libérant ou pas le taquet coinceur 32. Dans cette configuration, l'asservissement par le premier câble élastique 30 est prévu pour une personnalisation de la structure avec un sextoy phallique, tel que celui sur la figure 3. Il y a donc un effort résistif à l'avancement du chariot 12 mobile, de sa position arrière initiale à sa position avant finale, avec la tension du premier câble élastique 30, lors d'une pénétration, et ensuite une aide au retour à la position arrière initiale. Une autre configuration non représentée disposant des mêmes taquets coinceurs, mais avec un cheminement du câble élastique opposé, est prévue pour une personnalisation de la structure avec un sextoy orifice tel que celui sur la figure 3. Pour cette utilisation inverse, il y a donc un effort résistif à l'avancement du chariot 12 mobile, de sa position avant initiale à sa position arrière finale, avec la tension du premier câble élastique 30, lors d'une pénétration, et ensuite une aide au retour à la position avant initiale.
