English Abstract


ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE
A ring-like annulet made of retractable and resilient
material which could be inserted around the penis in order to
stimulate the circulatory blood flow in the arteries to stiffen
the penis with the aid of magnetic force emitted from permanent
magnets embedded in the circumference of the annulet ring.


Claims

Note: Claims are shown in the official language in which they were submitted.


The embodiments of the invention in which an
exclusive property or privilege is claimed are defined
as follows:-
1. A magnetic instrument for curing impotence com-
prising a ring-like annulet made of retractable and resilient
material, the inner diameter of which permits insertion of
the penis therethrough, and the interior of the circum-
ference thereof being embedded with five of permanent
magnets, wherein the magnets are equally spaced around the
circumference of said annulet
whereby one of said magnets can be positioned at
the rear surface of the penis to stimulate the nerve track
of the penis with the aid of excitation by the magnetic
force of the magnet, while avoiding the positioning of any
other magnet on the surface of the urethral canal of the penis.

Description

Note: Descriptions are shown in the official language in which they were submitted.


The present invention relates to a magnetic instrument
for curing impotence, particularly, in curing artificially
insufficient engorgement within Corpora cavernosa penis, that
is, insufficient erectile force of the penis caused by organic
disease of the nervous system or functional impediment.
Incidentally, erection phenomenon of the penis is
said to be originated by stimulation of the centripetal nerve
from the penis (mainly Nervus dorsalis penis) and the centrifugal
nerve fibers froM the center of erection in the spinal cord.
The centripetal nerve fibers lnncr-~te the blood vessel of the
penis, and increase the distribution of the supply of blood to
Corpora cavernosa penis, and at the same time causing contraction
of the vein at the deep inner part of the penis so as to min-
~ imize the quantity of blood flowing out of said Corpora caver-
; nosa penis, or the other theory is disclosed that there are
junctions between the artery and the vein respectively dis-
tributed within Corpora cavernosa penis, and said junction paths
are closed, so that the arterial blood is adapted to flow into
Corpora cavernosa penis through arterioles, thereby the blood
~returning vein is closed to cause the erection of the penis and
these functions of opening and closing of the blood vessel is
controlled by the autonomic nervous system. In either of the
above-mentioned theories, the erection phenomenon of the penis
,:
is that of a state of increase in the flow of the arterial blood
into the penis under the control of nerves simultaneously with
~decrease in circulatory flow of blood, thus causing maintenance
; ~of swelling and stiffening of the penis by engorgement within
i~ :
Corpora cavernosa pen1s, which is enveloped with a tough and
~; strong Tunica albuginea corporum cavernosorum.
However, it has hitherto been demanded seriously
the development of eome kind of physical instruments for curing
~; ' ' ~

s~
impotence and for its capability of keeping on the stiffened
condition as well as of reinforcing the erection phenomenon
of the penis. It is said impotence is cause of trouble to
patients who have suffered from organic disease of the nervous
system or the functional impedime~t and are worried about
abnormal swelling and stiffening of their penis.
The present invention is schemed to meet the fore-
going demand and to provide a magnetic instrument for curing
impotence in which circulatory flow of the arterial blood
is increased with the aid of magnetic force emitted from
permanent magnets and the compressible function of Tunica
albuginea corporum cavernosorum is reinforced by tightly
fastening action of a ring-like annulet having the elastic
and retractable properties such as rubber so as to keep on
the enhanced erection phenomenon.
In accordance with the invention, there is provided
a magnetic instrument for curing impotence. The instrument
includes a ring-like annulet made of retractable and resilient
material. The inner diameter of the annulet permits insertion
of the penis therethrough, and the interior of the circumference
thereof is embedded with five permanent magnets. The magnets
are equally spaced around the circumference of the annulet so
that one of the magnets can be positioned at the rear surface
of the penis to stimulate the nerve track of the penis with
the aid of excitation by the magnetic force of the magnet while
avoiding the positioning of any other magnet on the surface
of the urethral canal.
The present invention will now be explained with
reference to the drawings by way of example in a form of
embodiment of the invention.
A11 the drawings show a magnetic instrument for

curing impotence according to the present invention in a form
of an embodiment of the invention, in which:
Fig. 1 is an elevation partly in section,
Fig. 2 is a side view of the above same; and
Fig. 3 is a bottom plane view of the above same.
In the drawings, the reference numeral 1 represents
a ring made of retractable and resilient material such as,
for instance, rubber or something similar, and the dimension of
the ring 1, that is, the inner diameter of the circumference
thereof is previously set to be-large enough to allow insertion
of the penis. Further, granular-shape permanent magnets 2 are
;~ embedded at one or several spots on the circumferential surface
~ of the said ring 1 to form protrudent and expanded portions

thereon. 3 designates a tongue-like part, serving as a knob
for removing -the ring 1 from the penis so as to facilitate re-
moval thereof, but the ring 1 can be removed from the penis
~ithout utilizing said tongue-like part 3, therefore said tongue-
like part 3 may not necessarily be made on said ring 1. Said
permanent magnet 2 may optionally be embedded at one or several
spots.
A ma~netic instrument for curing impotence is con-
structed as described above with reference to the drawings
by way of example of the present invention, and the further ex-
planation will now be given hereinafter on the function for
physical effect.
Patients who have suffered from impotence are used to
utilize the foregoing annular implement in such a manner that
said annular implement allows the penis of a patient to be in-
serted up to the root of the penis, however, in this instance
of said annular instrument being engaged witn the penis, any one
. of said permanent magnets has to be positioned at the rear
surface of his penis to be able to stimulate the nerve track
of the penis with the aid of excitation of magnetic force as
well as to avoid positioning of any other protruded portion of
the permanent magnet on the surface of the urethral canal which
could effect com-fortable ejaculation.
. In such a manner for inserting annu]ar implement to
encompass the ~enis at the root thereof, the nerve track acting
as the primary important part for causing the penis to become
stiff is adapted to be imparted sexual stimulation by magnetic
action through several permanent magnets. Further, said stiff-
ening phenomenon of the penis can be reinforced and maintained
as long as the period of time for necessity by virtue of enhanced
compressing function of Tunica albu~inea corporum cavernosorum

under tightly fastening action of the penis around the roo-t
thereof by means of the retractable ring 1~ Since the ring 1
is made of retractable and resilient material, the vein beiny a
thin blood vessel is subjected to be back pressured to obstruct
the circulatory flowing of blood, but no obstruction on blood
circulation in the penis through the artery at high speed and
high pressure, so that the penis can be stiffened harder and
harder. As an additional remark, circumferential dimensions of
penis are individually varied to a large extent which can be
compensated by preparing the products of various sizes.
