Abstract
An adjustable breast pumping flange is provided. The breast pumping flange allows for adjustment of the flange angle relative to a bottle to which the flange connects. This allows for a nursing mother to more comfortably position the flanges and bottles during a pumping session. This increased comfort in turn allows for improved and more efficient milk collection.
Claims20
An adjustable breast pumping flange assembly comprising:
- a breast pumping flange connectable to a breast of a user, and having a tube extending from a rear of the flange, the breast pumping flange connectable to a bottle;
- an adjustment section along the tube, the adjustment section allowing for a directional adjustment of the flange relative to the bottle that the flange is connectable to, the adjustment section having a locked mode such that the adjustment section is securable in an adjusted position to thereby discourage unintended movement of the flange relative to the end of the tube, and having an unlocked mode wherein that the flange is freely movable relative to the end of the tube.
A breast pumping bottle assembly comprising:
- a bottle,
- a breast pumping flange connectable to a breast of a user, and having a tube extending from a rear of the flange, the breast pumping flange in fluid communication with the bottle;
- an adjustment section positioned along the tube, the adjustment section allowing for a directional adjustment of the flange relative to the bottle, the adjustment section having a locked mode such that the adjustment section is securable in an adjusted position to thereby discourage unintended movement of the flange relative to the end of the tube, and having an unlocked mode wherein that the flange is freely movable relative to the end of the tube.
A forward-leaning breast pumping chair comprising:
- a center post and a base, the center post angled forwardly relative to the base;
- a seat attached to the center post, the seat configured so as to cause a seated user to be leaning forward at an angle when seated;
- and
- a breast pumping assembly, the assembly comprising:
- a breast pump table sized to receive a breast pump, a bottle positioned on the breast pump table;
- a breast pumping flange connectable to a breast of a user, and having a tube extending from a rear of the flange, a distal end of the tube connected to the bottle;
- an adjustment section along the tube, the adjustment section allowing for a directional adjustment of the flange relative to the bottle, the adjustment section securable in an adjusted position to thereby discourage unintended movement of the flange relative to the end of the tube.
