Abstract
Examples of a nursing cover are described, including a cover having a top edge and a stiffener comprised of a shape memory material having a material memory coupled to the cover using a securing mechanism to prevent the stiffener from rotating. In one embodiment, the material memory causes the stiffener to assume a pre-determined shape, to temporarily deform without breaking the stiffener when force is applied to the stiffener, and to reassume the pre-determined shape. In one embodiment, an end of the stiffener provides a substantially smooth surface to prevent abrasion.
Claims20
A nursing cover comprising:
- a cover to provide coverage to a baby and a parent wearing the nursing cover;
- and
- a stiffener having a predetermined form bowing outward to provide a viewing area enabling the parent to see the baby, the stiffener having a material memory associated with the pre-determined form, the stiffener assuming the pre-determined form when no force is applied, and when a force is applied to the stiffener the material memory enabling the stiffener to temporarily deform and reassume the pre-determined form when the force is removed.
A nursing cover, comprising:
- a cover to provide privacy to a nursing mother and an infant;
- a stiffener comprised of a shape memory material having a material memory coupled to the cover, the material memory causing the stiffener to assume a pre-determined shape, to temporarily deform without breaking the stiffener when force is applied to the stiffener, and to reassume the pre- determined shape when force is removed;
- and
- an end of the stiffener to provide a substantially smooth surface to prevent abrasion.
A nursing cover, comprising:
- a cover including a stiffener pocket;
- a stiffener disposed in the stiffener pocket, the stiffener coupled to the cover using a securing mechanism to prevent the stiffener from rotating within the stiffener pocket, wherein the stiffener is comprised of a shape memory material which resumes a predetermined shape, to temporarily deform without breaking the stiffener when force is applied to the stiffener, and to reassume the pre-determined shape;
- and
- an end of the stiffener provides a substantially smooth surface to prevent abrasion.
