Embodiment Construction

[0039] Figure 1 to Figure 4 Different embodiments of a breast cup for use in a human breast milking apparatus according to the invention are shown.

[0040] The breast cup of the present invention for use in a human breast milking device comprises an integral conical portion 2 and an integral cylindrical portion 3 located on the smallest diameter portion of the conical portion 2 . The cylindrical part 3 is tubular to accommodate the teat when the breast cup is placed on the breast. The overall conical portion rests against the breast when the breast cup is placed on the breast.

[0041] The breast cup 1 has three stimulation elements for teat stimulation. The first stimulating element comprises an integral cylindrical part 3 . The first stimulating element is approximately the same for all the different breast cup embodiments shown in the figures. Said first stimulating element may stimulate the nipple due to the element being connected to a vacuum source having either a ...

Abstract

There is described a human breast milking apparatus including a breast cup (1), a collecting means (10) connected to the breast cup (1), a source of vacuum, at least one source of pressurised fluid (14) and a regulating device, which breast cup (1) includes a generally conical portion (2) and a generally cylindrical portion (3) connected to that part of the conical portion (2) which is smallest in diameter, characterised in that the breast cup (1) in combination comprises: (a) a first stimulating member for stimulating a nipple, which first stimulating area consists of the generally cylindrical portion (3); (b) a second stimulating member for stimulating an area of the breast immediately around or in the immediate vicinity of the nipple, which second stimulating member is provided at or in the vicinity of that part of the conical portion (2) which is smallest in diameter, which second stimulating member consists of an annular chamber (4) in the wall of the conical portion (2) of the breast cup (1); and optionally (c) a third stimulating member for stimulating an area of the breast 2.5 to 3 cm from the base of the nipple, which third stimulating member (6) consists of a part of the conical portion (2) which is 2.5 to 3 cm from the connection between the cylindrical portion (3) and the conical portion (2), which third stimulating member consists of an annular chamber in the wall of the conical body (2), preferably a chamber in the form of one or more rows of cells (6) interconnected by passages (7).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a human breast milking device for simulating a sucking baby. Background technique [0002] The number of women breastfeeding their infants has steadily increased in recent years. From a nutritional and psychological point of view, it is considered to be the best for both mother and baby. [0003] The most common way to breastfeed a baby is to have the baby express milk directly from the breast. However, there are many situations in which it is not appropriate or possible for a baby to breastfeed directly. Examples of such situations could be: [0004] - When the baby is premature and cannot breastfeed, [0005] - When the mother's milk is insufficient, [0006] - When the mother is sick and needs stronger stimulation, [0007] - Medically indicated mastitis, when the mother cannot breastfeed the baby due to treatment and the breast must be emptied of milk. [0008] For practical reasons only, it may also be desir...
