I've been reading some of his post on how he invented the biceps curl, leg press, and his other so called machinery, and I honestly have to call bullshit especially on him spending 100,000 to build a bicep machine. Not that it really matters, but why spend 100,000 to train one bodypart when some dumbells could pretty much do the same.
Fact is these machines he's claiming patents on have been around for decades.
Feel free to comment folks... ::)

Description:TECHNICAL FIELD
The present invention relates to an exercise device and more particularly to an exercise device which permits the user to perform two exercise motions.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Known exercise devices such as rowing machines and some exercise bicycles, which in addition to providing a leg function, enable the user to exercise the arms and the upper chest by providing pivoted handles which the user grips and causes angular reciprocation of the handles. There are also known machines which exercise the user's legs by providing vertically reciprocal foot pads to which the user applies alternate pressure. In combination with these foot pads there is provided pivoted levers which are angularly oscillated by the user.
OBJECT OF THE INVENTION
The above described exercise devices do not provide for simultaneous exercise employing rotation of the user's wrists and angular movement of the user's arms.
It is the object of the present invention to overcome or substantially ameliorate the above disadvantages.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
There is disclosed herein an exercise machine comprising:
a base frame;
an arm assembly mounted on the frame and including, a lever pivotally mounted on said frame for pivoting movement about a first axis, a movement transfer member, mounted on said lever for angular movement relative thereto about a second axis, handle means on said member to be gripped by a user to apply forces thereto to cause pivoting of said lever and angular movement of said member;
means to resist movement of said levers; and
support means to position the user's body so that said axes are positioned to be coaxial with normal pivoting axes of the user's body.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
Preferred forms of the present invention will now be described by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings wherein
FIG. 1 is a schematic side elevation of an exercise machine;
FIG. 2 is a schematic end elevation of the exercise machine of FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is a schematic perspective view of the resistance portion of the exercise machine of FIG. 1;
FIG. 4 is a schematic top plan view of a handle portion of the machine of FIG. 1;
FIG. 5 is a schematic perspective view of a modification of the exercise machine of FIG. 1;
FIG. 6 is a schematic perspective view of a second exercise machine; and
FIG. 7 is a schematic perspective view of a third exercise machine.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
In FIGS. 1 to 4 there is schematically depicted an exercise machine (bicep-supinator) 10. The exercise machine 10 has a base frame 11 which supports a weight stack 12. The weight stack 12 is received by a pair of vertically extending guide rods 13 which guide the weight stack 12 in its vertical movement. The weight stack 12 consists of a plurality of weights 14 which may be selectively coupled together to be lifted by the user of the machine 10.
Mounted on the frame 11 is an adjustable seat 15 and an adjustable footrest 16. There is also provided a back support 17 and a head rest 18.
Located on each side of the seat 15 are arm assemblies 19, with each assembly 19 being associated with the weight stack 12. The arm assemblies 19 are manipulated by the user.
Each arm assembly 19 includes a primary lever 20 which is pivotally mounted for rotation about a horizontal axis 21 extending generally transverse of the user. Mounted on the extremity of each arm 20 is a shaft 21 which is supported for rotation about its longitudinal axis. Attached to each shaft 21 is a hand grip 22 which the user grips. The shaft 22 is also slidingly mounted for longitudinal movement along its axis and is biased to a predetermined position by means of the spring 23. More particularly, the shaft 21 has splines 24 which are received within a splined passage passing through the hub 25. Mounted on the hub 25 is a pulley 26. Extending from and attached to the pulley 26 is an elongated flexible element 27 which can be a belt, chain or cable. The element 27 passes around pulleys 28, 29 and 30 to pass around a final pulley 31.
Also attached to the arm 20 is a counter-weight 34.
In operation of the above described device 10, the user grips the handle 22 and rotates the shaft 21 about its longitudinal axis. This causes the associated weight stack 12 to rise. In addition to that, movement of the arm 20 in the direction of the arrow 32 again causes the associated weight stack 12 to rise. Accordingly the weight stack 12 provides resistance to both movement of the shaft 21 and the arm 20.
It should be appreciated that both arm assemblies 19 are operatively associated with the weight stack 12.
In this embodiment, the user from a seated position reaches down and grabs the handles 22 and pulls them upward while turning their wrist about the longitudinal axis of the lower part of the arm.
It should be appreciated that pivoting of the lever 20 occurs about a normal pivot axis of the body, and that the machine 10 could be modified to enable the user to perform a twisting exercise with a "curling" exercise. This would be achieved by raising the arm assemblies 19 and providing an elbow rest.
Additionally the exercises performed on the machine 10 could be reversed by altering the effect of the element 27 so that the weight stack 12 was raised by the reverse movement.
In FIG. 5, there is schematically depicted a still further modification of the machine 10. In this particular embodiment the resistance applied to the handle 22 is separated from the resistance applied to the lever 20. In this particular embodiment, the element 27 is associated with the pulley 28 so that movement of the arm 20 does not influence or alternatively has minimum influence on the resistance applied to the handle 22. Also fixed to the arm 20 is a pulley 33 to which there is attached an elongated flexible element 34. The element 34 passes around a pulley 35 to a final pulley 36 to which may be attached a weight stack. The pulley 33 may be of a circular configuration, or whatever shape desired in order to vary the resistance applied to the arm 20.
As a still further modification, the elements 27 and 34 may be operatively associated with the same weight stack. However in this particular embodiment, the pulleys 31 and 36 are operatively associated with separate weight stacks.
In FIG. 6 there is schematically depicted an exercise machine 70. The machine 70 is adapted to perform a "chest press" and "fly operation". The machine 70 has a pivotally supported arm 71 for rotation about an axis 72. Pivotally mounted on the arm 71 is a further arm 83 which pivots about an axis 73. The arm 83 has a handle 74 which is gripped by the user.
Also mounted on the arm 71 is a pulley 75 about which there passes an elongated flexible element 76. The element 76 is attached to the arm 72 so as to move with the handle 74 upon operation by the user. The element 76 passes around pulleys 77 to a weight stack not illustrated. However the weight stack would function in the same manner as the stack 12.
Fixed to the frame is a pulley 81 around which an element 79 passes. The element 79 is attached to the arm 71. The element 79 extends to the same or a separate weight stack.
In use of the above described machine 70, the user causes pivoting of the lever 71 in the direction of the arrow A and pivoting of the lever 72 in the direction of the arrow B. The element then causes movement of their associated weight stacks.
In FIG. 7 there is schematically depicted an exercise machine 50 which is adapted to perform a "sit-up" and "abdominal crunch" type functions.
The machine 50 has been allocated the same numerals as the machine 50 of FIG. 7. However as can be seen from FIG. 8, the lever 72 pivots about an axis 51 which is normal to the axis 73 of FIG. 6.
In use of the machine 50, the user not only causes operation of the machine 100 by pivoting movement at the hip, but also pivoting movement about an axis passing through the back of the user.
Fixed to the arm is a pulley 52 to which is attached an elongated flexible element 53. The element 53 passes around a pulley 54 to a final pulley 55. The pulley 55 would be attached to a weight stack. In this particular embodiment, the element 76 passes around a pulley 56 to be also attached to the pulley 55 and in effect to be integral with the element 53. However the elements 76 and 53 may extend to separate weight stacks. The pulley 52 of this embodiment is circular however it could be eccentrically mounted or co-axially mounted with respect to the rotational axis 72. As a still further modification, the pulley 52 may have a non-circular periphery in order to vary the resistance applied to the lever 71.
The lever 72 is provided with a pair of handles 57 to provide for simple adjustment to individual users.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
In FIGS. 1 to 4 there is schematically depicted an exercise machine (bicep-supinator) 10. The exercise machine 10 has a base frame 11 which supports a weight stack 12. The weight stack 12 is received by a pair of vertically extending guide rods 13 which guide the weight stack 12 in its vertical movement. The weight stack 12 consists of a plurality of weights 14 which may be selectively coupled together to be lifted by the user of the machine 10.
Mounted on the frame 11 is an adjustable seat 15 and an adjustable footrest 16. There is also provided a back support 17 and a head rest 18.
Located on each side of the seat 15 are arm assemblies 19, with each assembly 19 being associated with the weight stack 12. The arm assemblies 19 are manipulated by the user.
Each arm assembly 19 includes a primary lever 20 which is pivotally mounted for rotation about a horizontal axis 21 extending generally transverse of the user. Mounted on the extremity of each arm 20 is a shaft 21 which is supported for rotation about its longitudinal axis. Attached to each shaft 21 is a hand grip 22 which the user grips. The shaft 22 is also slidingly mounted for longitudinal movement along its axis and is biased to a predetermined position by means of the spring 23. More particularly, the shaft 21 has splines 24 which are received within a splined passage passing through the hub 25. Mounted on the hub 25 is a pulley 26. Extending from and attached to the pulley 26 is an elongated flexible element 27 which can be a belt, chain or cable. The element 27 passes around pulleys 28, 29 and 30 to pass around a final pulley 31.
Also attached to the arm 20 is a counter-weight 34.
In operation of the above described device 10, the user grips the handle 22 and rotates the shaft 21 about its longitudinal axis. This causes the associated weight stack 12 to rise. In addition to that, movement of the arm 20 in the direction of the arrow 32 again causes the associated weight stack 12 to rise. Accordingly the weight stack 12 provides resistance to both movement of the shaft 21 and the arm 20.
It should be appreciated that both arm assemblies 19 are operatively associated with the weight stack 12.
In this embodiment, the user from a seated position reaches down and grabs the handles 22 and pulls them upward while turning their wrist about the longitudinal axis of the lower part of the arm.
It should be appreciated that pivoting of the lever 20 occurs about a normal pivot axis of the body, and that the machine 10 could be modified to enable the user to perform a twisting exercise with a "curling" exercise. This would be achieved by raising the arm assemblies 19 and providing an elbow rest.
Additionally the exercises performed on the machine 10 could be reversed by altering the effect of the element 27 so that the weight stack 12 was raised by the reverse movement.
In FIG. 5, there is schematically depicted a still further modification of the machine 10. In this particular embodiment the resistance applied to the handle 22 is separated from the resistance applied to the lever 20. In this particular embodiment, the element 27 is associated with the pulley 28 so that movement of the arm 20 does not influence or alternatively has minimum influence on the resistance applied to the handle 22. Also fixed to the arm 20 is a pulley 33 to which there is attached an elongated flexible element 34. The element 34 passes around a pulley 35 to a final pulley 36 to which may be attached a weight stack. The pulley 33 may be of a circular configuration, or whatever shape desired in order to vary the resistance applied to the arm 20.
As a still further modification, the elements 27 and 34 may be operatively associated with the same weight stack. However in this particular embodiment, the pulleys 31 and 36 are operatively associated with separate weight stacks.
In FIG. 6 there is schematically depicted an exercise machine 70. The machine 70 is adapted to perform a "chest press" and "fly operation". The machine 70 has a pivotally supported arm 71 for rotation about an axis 72. Pivotally mounted on the arm 71 is a further arm 83 which pivots about an axis 73. The arm 83 has a handle 74 which is gripped by the user.
Also mounted on the arm 71 is a pulley 75 about which there passes an elongated flexible element 76. The element 76 is attached to the arm 72 so as to move with the handle 74 upon operation by the user. The element 76 passes around pulleys 77 to a weight stack not illustrated. However the weight stack would function in the same manner as the stack 12.
Fixed to the frame is a pulley 81 around which an element 79 passes. The element 79 is attached to the arm 71. The element 79 extends to the same or a separate weight stack.
In use of the above described machine 70, the user causes pivoting of the lever 71 in the direction of the arrow A and pivoting of the lever 72 in the direction of the arrow B. The element then causes movement of their associated weight stacks.
In FIG. 7 there is schematically depicted an exercise machine 50 which is adapted to perform a "sit-up" and "abdominal crunch" type functions.
The machine 50 has been allocated the same numerals as the machine 50 of FIG. 7. However as can be seen from FIG. 8, the lever 72 pivots about an axis 51 which is normal to the axis 73 of FIG. 6.
In use of the machine 50, the user not only causes operation of the machine 100 by pivoting movement at the hip, but also pivoting movement about an axis passing through the back of the user.
Fixed to the arm is a pulley 52 to which is attached an elongated flexible element 53. The element 53 passes around a pulley 54 to a final pulley 55. The pulley 55 would be attached to a weight stack. In this particular embodiment, the element 76 passes around a pulley 56 to be also attached to the pulley 55 and in effect to be integral with the element 53. However the elements 76 and 53 may extend to separate weight stacks. The pulley 52 of this embodiment is circular however it could be eccentrically mounted or co-axially mounted with respect to the rotational axis 72. As a still further modification, the pulley 52 may have a non-circular periphery in order to vary the resistance applied to the lever 71.
The lever 72 is provided with a pair of handles 57 to provide for simple adjustment to individual users.

I've been reading some of his post on how he invented the biceps curl, leg press, and his other so called machinery, and I honestly have to call bullshit especially on him spending 100,000 to build a bicep machine. Not that it really matters, but why spend 100,000 to train one bodypart when some dumbells could pretty much do the same.
Fact is these machines he's claiming patents on have been around for decades.
Feel free to comment folks... ::)

Description:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to sexual aids. More specifically, the present invention relates to powered devices that engage with a user and promote sexual stimulation.
2. Description of the Prior Art
Sexual drive is probably one of the most fundamental and urgent drives that humans experience. Unfortunately, as the large body of literature, counseling services and devices attest, this drive largely goes unsatisfied. Although psychology plays a large role in attaining satisfaction, physical excitation of the sex organs is a critical consideration.
The present invention is not intended to be limited for use with a particular sex organ. However, for brevity, discussion is directed toward use with the external female genitalia, or vulva.
The vulva surrounds the opening of the vagina, the musculomembranous tubular structure extending from the vulva to the uterine cervix. The vulva includes the clitoris, a highly sensitive sex organ which, when stimulated appropriately, provides sexual satisfaction. The clitoris, homologous to the penis, is a small cylindrical organ situated at the anterior part of the vulva.
During sexual intercourse, the penis is reciprocally and slidingly received in the vagina. The penis typically does not make substantial contact with the clitoris. Rather, the abdomen and the transition area from which the base of the penis extends provides the critical contact that may ultimately lead to sexual satisfaction. Sexual satisfaction in females generally is not derived from linear translation of the penis through the vagina, rather rhythmic pressure against and/or frictional engagement with the clitoris.
Women, for one reason or another, are not always successful in finding partners who satisfy their sexual drive. Some women, especially in view of such lethal sexually transmitted diseases such as acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, or AIDS, prefer to abstain rather than engage in human sexual relations. Although sexual relations may be avoided, whether ill-fated or non-disciplined, sexual drive may not. A need exists for an invention that provides for satisfaction of primal sexual drive yet eliminates reliance on human sexual interaction. Specifically, a need exists for a sexual aid that is adjustable to suit individual needs and provides intimate engagement with and appropriate stimulation of a clitoris.
Several types of sexual aids are described in the patent literature. Unfortunately, the apparatuses described provide singular excitation means which are received in a vagina in a linear path or engage with a vulva in an arcuately tangential path. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 4,722,327, issued Feb. 2, 1988, to William J. Harvey, describes a therapeutic apparatus. The apparatus includes a housing slidingly mounted on a base. The housing is reciprocally traversed along the base on rollers by a handle controlled by a user. A circular-shaped disk is eccentrically and rotatably mounted on the housing. A first end of an arm is rotatably and eccentrically mounted on the disk. A second end of the arm is rotatably mounted on the base. As the housing is traversed along the base relative to the second end of the arm, the first end compels the disk to rotate, defining a sinusoidal cam surface. A rod member having an outer and an inner end, slidingly mounted on the housing, has a roller mounted on the inner end that contacts the disk. A dildo member is mounted on the outer end of the rod member. The rod member is biased toward the disk. As the disk rotates, the dildo member is reciprocally and linearly traversed according to the cam surface. An annular pad is rearwardly disposed on the outer surface of the dildo member. In operation, the dildo member is reciprocally and slidingly received in the vagina. The dildo member translates linearly such that the annular pad systematically contacts the vulva.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,790,296, issued Dec. 13, 1988, to Daniel A. Segal, describes a sexual stimulation apparatus. The apparatus includes a housing with a motor mounted therein. A disk member is rotatably mounted on the housing. The motor rotates the disk member. A rod member having an inner and an outer end is slidingly received in the housing. A dildo member is mounted on the outer end of the rod member. An arm has a first end eccentrically and rotatably mounted on the disk member. The arm has a second end rotatably mounted on the inner end of the rod member. As the disk member is rotated, the arm urges the dildo member to reciprocally and linearly translate. In operation, the dildo member is linearly and reciprocally received in a vagina. No means for contacting the vulva is described.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,834,075, issued May 30, 1989, to Yuh-Kuen Guo et al., describes an electromechanical message apparatus. The device includes a housing with a motor mounted therein. A disk member is rotatably mounted on the housing. The motor rotates the disk member. A rod member has an inner end rotatably mounted on the housing. A massaging member is mounted on the outer end of the rod member. An arm has a first end eccentrically and rotatably mounted on the disk member. The arm has a second end rotatably mounted on the first end of a slide member. The slide member is received in a sleeve and has a second end rotatably mounted at a mid-point on the rod member. As the disk member is rotated, the arm urges the slide member to translate linearly, transversely against the rod member. The massaging member reciprocally defines an arcuate path tangential to a vulva. In operation, the massaging member may be directed to systematically brush a body surface, presumably the clitoris.
Clearly, the above demonstrates a need for a sexual aid providing multiple excitation means that contact the clitoris in a locally arcuate path radially spaced inwardly from the path coincident with a vagina.
None of the above references, taken alone or in combination, are seen as teaching or suggesting the presently claimed sexual aid.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention overcomes the limitations of the above inventions by providing a sexual aid with multiple excitation means that contact the vagina, clitoris and anus in locally arcuate paths coincident with the vagina. The invention includes a housing detachably mounted on two legs. One embodiment provides for a motor mounted on the housing. The motor includes an output shaft that rotates a lever. The lever is pivotally mounted on an a connecting rod. The connecting rod also is pivotally mounted on an arm. The arm has a first end rotatably mounted on the housing and a second end that extends toward an aperture in the housing in a pendulum-like manner. In operation, the motor output shaft rotates the lever, urging the connecting rod to swing the arm relative to the aperture of the housing. An alternative embodiment provides for the motor to be mounted on, for pivoting with, the arm and the connecting rod being rotatably mounted on the housing.
An adaptor plate is mounted on the second end of the arm. A dildo is mounted on the adaptor plate. The dildo may include vibrator means therein. A first stimulator is mounted on the adaptor plate, superposed above the dildo for contacting the clitoris. The first stimulator may include vacuum means and/or vibrator means therein. The first stimulator, having a suction cup-like embodiment, may be detached from the housing and coupled with two suction cup-like second stimulators. The combination of suction cup-like stimulators are all in fluid communication with a flexible conduit having a distal end. A squeeze ball may be received in the distal end to introduce a vacuum therein. The user may suck on the distal end to induce the vacuum phenomenon. A third stimulator is mounted on the adaptor plate, subjacent the dildo member. The third stimulator also may include vibrator means therein.
In operation, the arm urges the adaptor plate through an arcuate path. The dildo is slidingly received in a vagina, the first stimulator periodically rubs against the clitoris and the third stimulator is slidingly received in an anus. The second stimulators periodically induce a vacuum condition over the user's nipples.
In consideration of the above, an object of the invention is to provide a sexual aid that satisfies sexual drive.
Another object of the invention is to provide a sexual aid having multiple excitation means that cyclically contact the vagina.
A further object of the invention is to provide a sexual aid having multiple excitation means that cyclically contact the clitoris.
An additional object of the invention is to provide a sexual aid that cyclically contacts the anus.
Yet another object of the invention is to provide a sexual aid that induces a vacuum phenomenon over a user's nipples.
Yet a further object of the invention is to provide a sexual aid that is readily mobile.
Yet an additional object of the invention is to provide a sexual aid including means to oscillate stimulation means through an arcuate path.
Still another object of the invention is to provide improved elements and arrangements thereof in an apparatus for the purposes described which is inexpensive, dependable and fully effective in accomplishing its intended purposes.
These and other objects of the present invention will become readily apparent upon further review of the following specification and drawings.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, the invention 10 is shown including a housing 12. Preferably, the housing 12 is approximately 11.5 inches long, 7 inches wide and 6 inches deep. The housing 12 includes a first handle 14 for convenient transportation thereof. Preferably, the first handle 14 is situated in the front of the housing 12, providing the user with convenient means for optimal positioning of the invention 10. Additionally, the housing 12 may include two second handles 15. The second handles 15 provide the user with means for maintaining the user's position relative to the invention 10 and/or adjusting the attitude of the invention 10 to suit the users purposes.
The housing 12 is detachably mounted on two legs 16. Preferably, the legs 16 are approximately 8.5 inches tall. When mounted on the legs 16, the housing 12 is situated approximately 15 inches above the surface on which the invention 10 is disposed. The housing 12 is rotatably adjustable relative to the legs 16, enabling the user to customize the attitude of the invention 10 to suit the user's purposes. The detachability of the housing 12 and legs 16 renders the invention 10 more easily transportable.
As best shown in FIG. 2, the invention 10 includes an electric motor 18 mounted within the housing 12. The motor 18 may be, but is not be limited to being selected from the group including: fluid-powered motors, gasoline-powered motors, diesel-powered motors, solar energy-powered motors and the like. The motor 18 has an output shaft 20 with a lever 22 that extends toward a distal end 24. The motor 18 rotates the lever 22, defining a vertical, disk-shaped path. The disk-shaped path may assume a vertical, horizontal or intermediate attitude, so long as the distal end 24 of the lever 22 traverses fore and aft relative to the housing 12 during rotation.
The invention 10 also includes an arm 26 having a first end 28 rotatably mounted on the housing 12. The arm 26 has a second end 30 that extends downwardly toward an aperture 32 in the housing 12, as best shown on FIG. 1. The arm 26 pivots about the first end 28 similar to a pendulum. Turning back to FIG. 2, superposing the pivot point of the arm 26, i.e. the first end 28, above the aperture 32 contributes to the preferred, upwardly arcing path 34 the arm 26 defines, discussed infra. However, the arcuate path 34 may be adjusted to curve downwardly or laterally, respecting the user's particular needs.
The invention 10 further includes a connecting rod 36 having a first end 38 rotatably mounted on the distal end 24 of the lever 22. The connecting rod 36 has a second end 42 rotatably mounted on a mid-point on the arm 26. As the lever 22 rotates, it urges the connecting rod 36 to translate fore and aft, urging the arm 26 to cyclically pivot about the pivot point, or first end 28, of the arm 26, defining the preferred arcuate path 34.
Referring to FIG. 3, an alternative embodiment of the drive mechanism is shown with the motor 18 mounted on the arm 26. As in the original embodiment, the lever 22 mounted on the output shaft 20 of the motor 18 is pivotally mounted on the connecting rod 36. The connecting rod 36 is pivotally mounted on the housing 12. As the output shaft 20 rotates, the lever 22 urges the connecting rod 36 against the housing 12, oscillating the arm 26 along with the motor 18.
Referring also to FIGS. 1 and 2, the invention additionally includes an adaptor plate 44, having a front surface 46, situated in the aperture 32 of the housing 12. The adaptor plate 44 is adjustably, but rigidly mounted on the arm 26. Oscillation of the arm 26 imparts reciprocating arcuate motion of the adaptor plate 44 between the aperture 32 and a predetermined arcuate distance 48 within the housing 12. Preferably, the arcuate distance 48 is approximately 4.5 inches; however, the arcuate distance 48 may be adjusted to suit the user's purposes.
A dildo 50 having a predetermined length is mounted on the front surface 46 of the adaptor plate 44. The dildo 50 may assume any shape or texture, respecting the user's preferences. The dildo 50 may include vibrating means (not shown) for imparting vibration therein. Preferably, the dildo 50 is slidingly received in the user's vagina 52.
Referring only to FIGS. 1 and 2, a first stimulator 54 also is mounted on the adaptor plate 44. The first stimulator 54 may assume any shape or texture, respecting the user's preferences. The first stimulator 54 also may include vibrating means (not shown) for imparting vibration therein. The first stimulator 54, preferably, contacts the user's clitoris 56.
The first stimulator 54 is shown mounted on the adaptor plate 44 above the dildo 50. The first stimulator 54 defines an arcuate path concentric with and radially spaced within the arcuate path defined by the dildo 50 when the invention 10 is placed in service. This orientation is preferred when the user is situated such that the vagina is subjacent to the clitoris, thereby providing simultaneous engagement with and excitation of the vagina and clitoris. However, the arrangement may be configured in any manner suited to the user's purposes. Notwithstanding orientation, the radial spacing of the first stimulator 54 relative to the dildo 50 may be adjusted, respecting the user's body configuration.
Referring only to FIG. 3, a second embodiment of the first stimulator 154 is shown. The first stimulator 154 includes a suction cup member 156 that conformingly and sealingly receives the upper portion of the vulva. The suction cup member 156 of the first stimulator 154 is more specifically directed at receiving the clitoris. The suction cup member 156 is in fluid communication with a bellows 160 or squeeze ball (not shown) via flexible conduit 162. As the arm 26 oscillates relative to the housing, the arm 26 compresses and expands the bellows 160 relative to the housing 12. The arm 26 and bellows 160 cyclically introduce a vacuum in the volume defined by the suction cup member 156 and the portion of the vulva received therein. The cyclical vacuum phenomenon stimulates the clitoris.
The invention 10 also provides additional suction cup members 58 conformingly and sealingly receive the user's nipples and areolae, as shown on FIG. 4. The additional suction cup members 58 also are in fluid communication with the bellows 160 via flexible conduit 64. The bellows 160 cyclically introduces a vacuum phenomenon in the volume defined by each additional suction cup member 58 to stimulate the user's nipples.
Referring to FIG. 4, the invention 10 provides for a portable and secretable embodiment including the suction cup member 156 of the first stimulator 154 and the two additional suction cup members 58. The first suction cup member 156 and second suction cup members 58 may be detached from the housing 12. The assembly 70 includes additional flexible conduit 72 in communication with the suction cup member 156 and also with the additional suction cup members 58 via the flexible conduit 64. The assembly 70 may be secured to the user's body with an adjustable girdle 73. A squeeze ball 74 is shown being received in the distal end 76 of the flexible conduit 72 permitting user-controlled introduction of vacuum in the volumes defined by the first suction cup member 156 and additional suction cup members 58, and the body parts placed in association therewith, as described above. An alternative embodiment provides for the user introducing the vacuum phenomenon be sucking on the distal end 76 of the flexible conduit 72 with the user's mouth (not shown). Either embodiment provides for a portable, sexually stimulating device that may be concealed beneath the user's clothing.
Referring again to FIG. 1, a second stimulator 66 is mounted on the adaptor plate 44. The second stimulator 66 may assume any shape or texture, respecting the user's preferences. The second stimulator 66 also may include vibrating means (not shown) for imparting vibration therein. The second stimulator 66, preferably, contacts the user's anus.
The second stimulator 66 is shown mounted on the adaptor plate 44 below the dildo 50. The second stimulator 66 defines an arcuate path concentric with and radially spaced within the arcuate path defined by the dildo 50 when the invention 10 is placed in service. This orientation is preferred when the user is situated such that the user's anus is subjacent to the vagina, thereby providing simultaneous engagement with and excitation of the vagina and anus. However, the arrangement may be configured in any manner suited to the user's purposes. Notwithstanding orientation, the radial spacing of the second stimulator 66 relative to the dildo 50 may be adjusted, respecting the user's body configuration.
Referring also to FIG. 2, the invention 10 also provides pseudo-testicles 78 loosely mounted proximate to and depending from the adaptor plate 44 or the dildo 50. The pseudo-testicles 78 are intended to contact the user when the apparatus is being used, thus simulating the tactual sensation created by real testicles.
In operation, the dildo 50 is slidingly received in a vagina lengthwise. Unlike the prior art, the dildo 50 defines an arcuate path generally coincident with the user's vagina. The first stimulator 54 contacts the clitoris at the end of each arcuate stroke of the arm 26. The cyclical contact of the first stimulator 54 with the clitoris contributes to sexual satisfaction.
Prior inventions provide for linear translation coincident with the vagina or arcuate brushing tangent to the vulva. The coincident arcuate path provided by the instant invention 10 represents a significant advance over the prior art because it more closely approximates the motion assumed by a man urging his penis to translate within the vagina during sexual intercourse. Rhythmic pressure against the walls of the vagina, rather than linear translation thereacross, is known to have a more stimulating effect. Additionally, inward frictional engagement with the clitoris, rather than brushing thereacross, is known to have a more stimulating effect. The present invention 10 advances significantly over the prior art by providing both. The preferred embodiment of the invention 10 combines the two stimulus means, conferring on its users real-world satisfaction of sexual drive without real-world anxieties.
The present invention 10 is not intended to be limited to the embodiments described above, but to encompass any and all embodiments within the scope of the following claims.

Well, there's plenty of bicep machines all around too. Personally, I feel that the best way to build biceps is dumbbells, period. A machine simply cannot hang with the free range of motion it offers
So you advise us to use dumbells, so that we can achieve non-existing biceps like yours? Or is it because you have never gone heavier than you lbs jane fonda dumbells?
-
ROTFLMAO.........HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!
My point exactly. The dildo wasn't patented by someone until 1995. The reason is because no-one gave a shit about getting a patent for it. There are a million things that have never been patented before but have always been around. I bet Vince Basile simply submitted the paperwork for a slight modification on a machine that's already been invented.

There are a million things that have never been patented before but have always been around. I bet Vince Basile simply submitted the paperwork for a slight modification on a machine that's already been invented.
Then it wouldn't be an invention, it would be a modification on an existing device, two different patents.

My biceps are 18 3/4 inches natural. Anyone that has meet me in person or even looked at my pictures can see that
Speaking of bullshit...
-
18 3/4 long or your arm length ??? :o
-
Melvin CSN MFT, from your photo it appears that the only exceptional things are the protrusions from your posing trunks. Seems to me you didn't like the white diapers so borrowed some black costume from one of the Sheilas there! You sure have balls, both for stepping on stage and posting that image here for these sharks!
-
Vince Basile may have patent on a bicep machine but it doesn't mean anything. Its not revolutionary or innovative.
When you cut through all the bullshit and legal mumbo jumbo, all you have is a fucking biceps machine, folks.

You never answered about your "so called" grip record. You lied about having a world record in grip :D

BULLSHIT BY THE DOGSHIT!!!

And you lied about having 18+ arms....not to speak of your other daily lies.

Yawn, I'm going to bed. If you believe the hype, then buy one of his contraptions you dumb Elmer.

If you would listen, he has a world record in "Gripe"
As you can see from his griping on the various forums.

No he does not have a record in Gripe or Grip or anything. Nothing in the record books.

Melvin you truly are a simple man. You have no idea about grip records. There are no official world records. Just lists of various feats done on different apparatus and under different conditions. I doubt David Horne could exceed my record on my machine. I don't claim to be able to exceed his feat on his apparatus.
The history of the pinch grip goes back about 50 or 60 years. There were no contests in those days. A few guys could support their bodyweight on rafters. Then one guy walked along one floor joist using the pinch grip. That is an amazing feat.
Some guys could place two 45 pound Olympic plates back to back and pinch them off the floor with one hand. That is a very good feat but favours guys with large hands.
A little guy by the name of Bruce White from Perth had an article written about him in Ironman in the 1970s. He claimed to be able to pinch grip 121 pounds with one hand on a 2 inch steel block. After that lift, which I don't think was witnessed or confirmed, various individuals have claimed various records. David Horne ran grip contests in England and evolved various rules and apparatus. He eventually lifted 143 pounds or 67.5 Kg with one hand and stood erect with that weight. Since that time he has made a two hand adjustable apparatus for pinching and he holds that record, too. Somewhere around 110 Kg. You can go to the Grip Board to read what he has done and various contest results.
The 80kg pinch I did in the 2003 Australia Grip Championships at my gym is the most weight anyone has lifted in an official national contest that I am aware of. There is no official world grip organization to ratify world records. I lifted 92.5 Kg on my machine in 2001 in a competition at my gym. That is the most anyone has ever pinched with one hand. Come to my gym and see how strong you are. The next best pinch on the machine is 67.5 Kg done by my son Zorba. Nick McKinless pinched something like 52.5 Kg in that contest and he won the overall every year it has been staged. Nick has a photo of himself pinching two 20Kg Olympic plates. He also had a few months to train on the machine. The point is lifts are very specific and people can be good on one apparatus and not on all of them.

I don't bs in real life or on the internet.
Let's hear what degrees Goatboy and Melvin Goodrum, CSN MFT have. Mine are MEd, Sydney University 1989, BA., UBC 1965. DipEd Alexander Mackie, NSW 1973.
Ohhh but yes you do BS. Back in March on this same board, not only did you say that Derrick Anthony had a "great physique", but you also called him a "success". Now, if you are soooo f'n smart, and you have soooo many f'n degrees, then how in God's name can you make such retarded, self-contradicting, BS remarks? You BIG BSer.................... ................Yeah, you invented this, and you have a degree in that, but you have proven time and time again, in your own posts, that you haven't one iota of common sense. You are old enough to know better.

Did someone just post? Lots of nobodies around here. You modern guys are truly gutless, pathetic creatures. No name, photo, nothing. Just virtual athletes.
This is an opinion board. If you say someone looks good then that is your opinion and others might not agree. Why would we keep posting if we agreed with everyone else?
Derek Anthony has an exceptional physique. Very few men reach his level of size and definition. I could care less about what others say about him as a person. That is none of my business.
What is the test of truth of opinions on Getbig? There is none. Some believe consensus proves who is right. Since when is excellence decided by the flotsam in this world?
Everyone is an expert on Getbig and philosophers, too. Amazing.
-
LOOK AT ME!
I'M A FLOTSOM PHILOSOPHER!

The trouble with most of you dudes is that spell check doesn't help you if you don't know how to spell most words! It is flotsam. I made the same mistake as you did. There are some smart guys on Getbig. I acknowledge that.

:( Spellcheck doesn't work on caps.

An "exceptional physique" eh. What about all of the crap that you have posted about how Synthol, and over the top steroid use is bad for bodybuilding.........wel l Derrick is all Synthol, and all steroids, and all GH, and he's got the suspicious looking arms, and the gut to prove it. Bad form, bugger, you keep diggin' yourself into a deeper hole. What about you posting that Derrick is "successful"? Do you believe that a man is successful, only because he is a cheap, low rent, third rate, gay porn actor.........come on you degree holdin' Einstein, wow us again with your insolence, and speak on this, you hypocrite.

What is this place, Sunday School? There are so many religious nuts on line. The Taliban found out you don't mess with Yanks because they are crazier than the extreme Muslims. Ditto, Iraq!
Derek Anthony looks great in the photos I have seen. Whether he used drugs and oil I have no idea. That is irrelevant to what a person looks like. Steroids are a personal choice. Synthol is definitely cheating. My point is we should be testing for all those substances in bodybuilding contests if we want to be accepted by governments and the general public.
What someone does re prostitution or porn is not a crime in my book. Being gay is not a crime in most civilized countries, either.
I have never understood why most bodybuilders are so rigid in their beliefs and opinions. Most are just ordinary guys and I guess they have conservative, ordinary beliefs and opinions.

I'm talkin' about measuring someone as far as being a success, Mr. BS. You know what, that's it. You are now the worst. You passed up Arvilla, Adonis, Alex, and even your nemesis, CSN. You are the worst of the worst, Congratulations, and have a safe drive home.

I've been reading some of his post on how he invented the biceps curl, leg press, and his other so called machinery, and I honestly have to call bullshit especially on him spending 100,000 to build a bicep machine. Not that it really matters, but why spend 100,000 to train one bodypart when some dumbells could pretty much do the same.
Fact is these machines he's claiming patents on have been around for decades.
Feel free to comment folks... ::)
HEY VINCE I HEARD YOU FINALLY FILED BANKRUPTCY. HOPE ALL IS WELL MATE- REGARDS...

Vince G, i like you man - but you're arms are no where near 18 inches! Probably around 16.5 - and thats being generous.
Vince Basille, if your son 'Zorba' wanted to use steroids would you let him?

Melvin Goodrum CSN MFT says it all. Go listen to his tape about Dan Duchaine. Dan has been dead for years but Goodrum sorts him out, anyway. Maybe the DD is someone else?
Howdy folks, you know who this is here....this is Vince Goodrum CSN MFT....
I always tell it like it is. Goodrum appears to be doing the same thing but is a bullshit artist extraordinaire. He fell going up the stairs at the Prepaid Legal Convention and broke two bones in his body. We are lucky to have someone like Goodrum here. His posts bring a laugh everytime. If what he says isn't funny someone will post a photo or two that are.

Dan Duchaine is also an internet troll. I wasn't talking about the actual Dan Duchaine and I didn't like him neither. I used to trash him on the old alt.bodybuilding newsgroups.
But you lied, you don't have a world record. Don't dance around it

Vincentus Basilius, as he was known at the time, introduced the gym into ancient Rome. He would spend hours wrestling near-naked with sweaty Roman emperors, senators, and generals and holding them in homoerotic positions. True story, it says so on Wikipedia.

Well, there's plenty of bicep machines all around too. Personally, I feel that the best way to build biceps is dumbbells, period. A machine simply cannot hang with the free range of motion it offers
Vince to I actually have to lift the dumbells or can I just look at them and dream of 15 inch not so shredded guns

who cares if hes got a patent. Why spend 100,000 on a biceps machine when you can simply use dumbbells
Different with you two is just that; he could spend 100000 on a bicep machine because he have the money, but you? You can't because you are nothing but a complete looser. More than that, you are so jealousy that it must keep you awake at nights. How does it feel, when you know for sure that there isn't anything which you can do to make you a real man like he is. When you are in his age, you will be a homeless bum or patient in some mental institute. What comes to your patent application which you have leave for inspection, I find it quite...hmm...personal.. .

Dear sir
I want you to consider to give a patent for my trademark "Stealth" pose, which I have used for my trademark pose. I have find out that I am only one in this universe who use this famous pose as his trademark pose, so please give to me a patent for it, because I use it for my trademark pose.
I have used many dark nights on front of the mirror to tweak this pose to be a perfect trademark for me, so I think I have earn the patent anyway, so please give me the patent for it...please.

Fuc*k of, you moron!!!
Are you an idiot or something? You look like you have been living last 40 years by eating your own shit and trying to find a way to look just like it. If you want to patent something, why don't you try to make some good with that pitiful excuse of the human body and use it as a speed bump. Test that and if it works, please return in that mental institute where you belong.

Good question. Goodrum pontficates but has not paid his dues. He competes in obscure contests in low divisions and comes 2nd. He sure knows how to bag others.
At least Goodrum posts photos. That is more than Goatboy dares do. Can anyone imagine the howls of laughter if we ever catch a glimpse of Goatboy. Heck, if I lived in America there would already be photos of that wannabe on Getbig!!

If I quit working out right now, sold all my exercise equipment, never got up off the couch, and switched to a diet of ice crean, pizza and beer for two years, there's no way I wouldn't still look 10x better than Vince. Even without any pics of me, can anyone seriously doubt this given what Vince looks like?? Yeah, he looked good back in the 70's, but at this point he's a "safety fat" tub of shit who makes Goodrum look like Phil Heath by comparison. Someone in his position really should choose something other that "physique comparison" if he wants to call people out. ::)

Goatboy, you are a windbag. Put your photos up on the Mr Getbig and I will post mine, too. Might give me some incentive to train for. Goatboy is a paper tiger!
