Breast Pump

Abstract

A breast pump shaped at least in part to fit inside a bra with an outer shell and a breast shield element including a nipple tunnel adapted to receive a nipple of the lactating mother, which breast pump provides sufficient space within the outer shell for arranging the functional components of the breast pump within the outer shell while meeting the anatomical circumstances posed by the user of the breast pump. The outer shell of the breast pump projects a frontal orthographic plane that is shaped like an oval, which oval is defined by a convex boundary encircling three circles, a first top circle, a first bottom circle and a second bottom circle, wherein a radius (RB) of the of the first bottom circle and a radius (RB) of the second bottom circle are equal and the ratio of a radius (RT) of the first top circle to the radius (RB) of the first or the second bottom circles is between 0.3 and 0.8.
