Title:
HANDS-FREE BREAST PUMP SUPPORTING BRA AND SYSTEM
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO1999027980
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A hands-free breast pump support bra (1) and system allow simple and effective breast milk expression from lactating woman's breasts without the need of additional support, such as straps (3), bands (4), posts and mounting elements to support the weight of breast pump apparatuses. The support bra independently and as part of the system is made of a material of sufficient elasticity and strength that when worn firmly frictionally holds against each breast the funnel-like portion (6) of a breast pump during the complete breast milk expression operation. Slits (2) are strategically located in both nipple areas of the bra's cups through which the funnel-like portions (6) of the breast pumps engage the breasts. Because of the elastic property of the bra's fabric, the fabric around the slits securely and simultaneously hold against each breast in a hands-free manner a funnel portion with a conventional breast milk bottle filled with milk and attached thereto.
