EXPRESSION ASSEMBLY FOR A BREAST PUMP AND A BREAST PUMP HAVING THE EXPRESSION ASSEMBLY - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18276485 titled 'EXPRESSION ASSEMBLY FOR A BREAST PUMP AND A BREAST PUMP HAVING THE EXPRESSION ASSEMBLY
Simplified Explanation
The expression assembly for a breast pump described in the patent application comprises a diaphragm, a cover over the diaphragm to create a sealed space, and a breast shield to which the cover and diaphragm are attached. The diaphragm has a cavity with an open end for the user's nipple and a closed end, with the open end angled back at the top to cover more of the breast, providing better stimulation and reducing leakage.
- Diaphragm, cover, and breast shield assembly
- Diaphragm with angled open end for better breast coverage
- Improved breast stimulation and reduced leakage
Potential Applications
The technology can be applied in the development of more efficient and comfortable breast pumps for nursing mothers.
Problems Solved
The technology addresses the issues of inadequate breast coverage and leakage in traditional breast pump designs.
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include improved breast stimulation, reduced leakage, and increased comfort for the user.
Potential Commercial Applications
This technology has potential applications in the breast pump industry, catering to the needs of nursing mothers seeking more effective and comfortable pumping solutions.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be traditional breast pump designs that may not provide adequate breast coverage or suffer from leakage issues.
Unanswered Questions
How does the angled open end of the diaphragm improve breast stimulation?
The angled open end of the diaphragm covers more of the breast, allowing for better contact and stimulation during pumping.
What materials are used in the construction of the diaphragm and cover?
The patent application does not specify the materials used in the construction of the diaphragm and cover.
Original Abstract Submitted
An expression assembly for breast pump comprises a diaphragm, a cover over the diaphragm to define a sealed space between them, and a breast shield to which the cover and diaphragm are coupled. The diaphragm defines a cavity having an open end for receiving a nipple of a user and a closed end. The open end is angled back at the top to cover more of the top of the breast. This enables the diaphragm to provide better stimulation of the breast as well reducing leakage.
