Abstract
An electroejaculation device has a hollow insulating housing with a set of longitudinally extending electrodes projecting from its outer surface. The housing encloses an electronic circuit that applies a sinusoidal output signal of alternating stimulation and rest periods to the electrodes. The circuit automatically increases the signal strength during successive stimulation periods through the cycle and varies the frequency of the signal during at least part of each stimulation period. An electrical plug sealed in one end of the housing connects the circuit to an external power source and preferably includes by-pass connections that allow the circuit to apply its output signal to the electrodes of a second probe that does not include a self-contained signal generating circuit.
Claims21
An automatic electroejaculation device for animals comprising
- A. a housing formed of a rigid insulating material having a hollow, generally cylindrical configuration,
- B. a plurality of electrodes mounted on the exterior of said housing,
- C. electronic circuit means for generating an output signal across said electrodes in an operating cycle of alternating stimulation periods and rest periods, where the total energy of said signal during the stimulation periods increases automatically for successive stimulation periods during said cycle and where the frequency of said signal varies automatically for at least part of each stimulation period, and
- D. means for establishing an electrical connection between said circuit means and an external power source.
