Abstract
A breastfeeding screen may include a foldable screen having: at least three radial arms, each radial arm having a first aperture formed at a first end, a support structure comprising (a) two orthogonal lugs having aligned second apertures, a first pivot pin passing between the aligned second apertures and through each of the first apertures of the at least three radial arms to allow the at least three radial arms to rotate around the first pivot pin; and a material coupled to the at least three radial arms that, when the at least three radial arms rotate bout the first pivot pin, spans between the at least three radial arms. A Breastfeeding screen may include a releasable mounting mechanism being fixedly attached to the support structure adapted to attach the breastfeeding screen to an object.
Claims17
A breastfeeding screen, comprising:
- a support structure comprising:
- a first support structure component, and
- a second support structure component having a base and a raised part extending from the base, the first support structure component rotatably coupled to the second support structure component at the raised part;
- and
- a foldable screen having:
- at least three radial arms, each radial arm having a first aperture formed at a first end, each of the at least three radial arms being formed of at least two segments coupled together by respective arm pivot pin to form a respective articulation at the location of the arm pivot pin, at least outer two radial arms of the at least three radial arms being indexed by opposing additional teeth formed around an aperture for receiving an arm pivot pin, wherein the additional teeth allow articulation of at least the outer two radial arms around the arm pivot pin to predefined angles defined by the opposing teeth,
- two orthogonal lugs secured to the first support structure component and having aligned second apertures,
- a first pivot pin passing between the aligned second apertures and through each of the first apertures of the at least three radial arms to allow the at least three radial arms to rotate around the first pivot pin, and
- a material coupled to the at least three radial arms that, when the at least three radial arms rotate bout the first pivot pin, spans between the at least three radial arms;
- and
- a releasable mounting mechanism being fixedly attached to the second support structure component adapted to attach the breastfeeding screen to an object.
