Problems solved by technology

[0006] However, the nipple covering member of the conventional milking device that utilizes the pressure fluctuation accompanying the negative pressure as in Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2 is centered on realizing the purpose of milking by using negative pressure, and applies sufficient pressure. Stimulus aspects are not considered
In addition, in the milking device of Patent Document 3 that applies a reducing squeeze load, the entire teat covering member (pad: pad) is made of soft silicone rubber or the like, and the teat covering member is deformed as a whole, so Sometimes a gap is formed between the breast and the nipple cover part as the compression stimulation is given, but there is still room for improvement

Abstract

A nipple coating member and a milking device for gathering mother's milk effectively. The pad (12) of a milking device (10) comprises a tubular frame (25) having a large diameter side opening (12A) for inserting the nipple formed on one end side and a small diameter side opening (12B) formed on the other end side, a first flexible portion (34) provided at a part in the circumferential direction between the large diameter side opening (12A) and the small diameter side opening (12B) of the tubular frame (25), and a second flexible portion (36) provided at a position opposing the first flexible portion (34) independently thereof. The first flexible portion (34) can be deformed inward of the tubular frame (25) by a pressing force from the outside of the pad (12), and the second flexible portion (36) can be deformed outward of the tubular frame (25) by a pressing force from the inside of the pad (12).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a teat covering and a milking device for collecting breast milk from a human body. Background technique [0002] There are known milking devices (for example, refer to Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2) in which a nipple is inserted through a large-diameter side opening of a horn-shaped milk receiving member and a negative pressure is applied to the milk receiving member, thereby milking. In addition, there is also known a milking device (for example, refer to Patent Document 3) that, in addition to applying negative pressure, applies a reducing pressure load (pressing stimulation) by sucking-like motion to the nipple via a milk receiving member. [0003] Patent Document 1: Japanese National Publication No. 2003-521958 [0004] Patent Document 2: International Publication No. 05 / 042062 Pamphlet [0005] Patent Document 3: Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2006-51341 [0006] However, the nipple covering member of ...
