Abstract
Embodiments of a nursing device are disclosed. In a non-limiting embodiment, the nursing device is collapsible from an open configuration to a collapsed configuration. A wall extends along front and side portions of the device. The wall has an upper rim and a lower rim. A flexible frame is provided that has an upper leg adjacent the upper rim and a lower leg adjacent the lower rim. A cover portion is attached to the wall and at least partially defines a viewing window. In the open configuration, the frame is biased to an expanded state that extends the cover portion in an outwardly direction to define an interior cavity between the cover portion and the wall. In the collapsed configuration, the frame is folded onto itself.

A wearable nursing device collapsible from an open configuration to a collapsed configuration, the nursing device comprising:
- a wall forming front and side portions of the device, the wall having an upper rim and a lower rim;
- a flexible frame comprising an upper leg adjacent the upper rim and a lower leg adjacent the lower rim;
- and
- a cover attached to the wall, the cover being mountable on a person and including a viewing window,
- wherein in the open configuration the frame is biased to an expanded state that extends the cover in an outwardly direction to define an interior cavity between the cover and the wall,
- wherein in the collapsed configuration, the flexible frame is folded onto itself, and
- wherein a center of the flexible frame is at a front portion of the nursing device, and the wall is split to create an opening opposite the front portion, the opening being defined by opposing ends of the wall, and wherein a fastener is attached to the opposing ends of the wall to adjust an amount of space between the opposing ends.

- a wall forming front and side portions of the device, the wall having an upper rim and a lower rim;
- a flexible frame comprising an upper leg adjacent the upper rim and a lower leg adjacent the lower rim;
- and
- a cover attached to the wall, the cover being mountable on a person and including a viewing window,
- wherein in the open configuration the frame is biased to an expanded state that extends the cover in an outwardly direction to define an interior cavity between the cover and the wall,
- wherein in the collapsed configuration, the flexible frame is folded onto itself, and
- wherein the viewing window has a curved circumferential rim for encircling a user's neck, the viewing window being defined in part by straps that extend from the cover, the straps being releasably attached to each other.
