This application is based upon and claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 202210670222.9 filed on Jun. 15, 2022, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
The present invention belongs to the technical field of bras, in particular to a breast pump bra.
With the quickening pace of life, it is a great challenge for modern women, especially professional women, to breastfeed their babies. In addition to breast feeding, breast pumps are generally used to store breast milk.
The use of the breast pump requires at least one hand to support the breast pump throughout the whole process, and it usually takes about 8 minutes for a single breast pumping session. In order to meet the needs of infants for breast milk, lactating women need to pump bread milk every 2-3 hours, and 8-12 times a day. Such high-frequency activities will not only lead to arm fatigue and even tenosynovitis of lactating women, but also delay the work of lactating women.
In order to free the hands of lactating women in breast pumping, people designed a breast pump bra matched with the use of breast pump, which is characterized in that the bra itself can fix the breast pump. However, the opening of the existing breast pump bra is simple, and generally adopts a zigzag opening design. On the one hand, in order to insert the breast pump flange from the opening, the length of the opening is generally designed to be equal to the diameter of the breast pump flange, so that the pressure of the whole bra on the flange is not large enough. With the increase of milk in the breast pump, the breast pump is easy to wobble or even slide out of the opening after gaining weight. On the other hand, in use of breast pumps, breasts are exposed too much, resulting in a failure to protect privacy of lactating women.
To solve the above existing technical problem, the present invention provides a breast pump bra.
To achieve the above purpose, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:
Preferably, a flange diameter L0 of the breast pump and L1, L2 and L3 satisfy following relational expressions:
L1+L0≥L2; and
L2+L3≥L0.
Preferably, the breast pump bra structure includes:
Preferably, the breast pump bra structure includes:
Preferably, a first elastic strip is disposed in the first blind opening limit line,
Preferably, the cutting piece A3 and the cutting piece A12 are provided with a connecting line M1 in the first overlapping area
Preferably, the cutting piece A3 is disposed in the second overlapping area in an inner cup direction of the cutting piece A12; and
Preferably, the cutting piece A3 is triangular.
Preferably, the breast pump bra structure includes:
Preferably, the bra body is provided with two inner cups;
Preferably, the breast pump bra structure includes:
Preferably, the quilted front strap includes two pieces of cloth and a cotton core,
Preferably, the bra body includes two outer cups,
Preferably, the breast pump bra structure includes:
Preferably, a lower part of a bottom wing of the bra body is rib stitch,
Preferably, a joint of a lower part and an upper part of the bottom wing of the bra body is provided with a second elastic strip,
The beneficial effect of the present invention is reflected in the fact that a breast pump bra is provided so that the opening on the bra cup can be stuffed into a breast pump flange while the length is smaller, the opening has less impact on the compression force of the entire bra cup making the compression force enough to stop the breast pump flange that is full of milk from wobbling and sliding out of the opening, and the opening is covered to protect the privacy of breastfeeding women, and the design of outer cup is more convenient so that women do not need to change their underwear when using the breast pump and do not need to change their underwear after use.
A clear and complete description of the technical solution in the embodiments of the present invention will be made below in conjunction with the accompany drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, but not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those ordinarily skilled in the art without exerting creative effort fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

A breast pump bra cup structure which includes:
Refer to
In this embodiment, the present invention provides a breast pump bra cup structure. The cup has a flange connection port with a surface inlet and an inner inlet, the surface inlet is provided with a first blind opening and a first opening, the inner layer inlet has a second blind opening. A length direction a1 of the first blind opening is different from a length direction a2 of the first opening. The length direction of the first opening is the same as a length direction of the second blind opening. The first opening, the first blind opening and one end of the second blind opening in the length direction intersect and are in a connected state. One end of a first blind opening limit line is connected with an O1 end of the second blind opening, so that the first blind opening coincides with the second blind opening in a direction close to the O1 end and is in a connected state. It appears that only the first opening is open, but in fact, the first opening, the first blind opening and one end of the second blind opening in the length direction intersect and are communicated. The first opening is connected with the second blind opening, therefore, the flange first enters the first blind opening, and then enters the bra through the connected first opening and the second blind opening, so the length L2 of the first opening does not need to be greater than or equal to the flange diameter. When the bra is put on, the first elastic compression area, the second elastic compression area, and the third elastic compression area may form a compression force that is nearly perpendicular to the surface of the cup and pointing to the inside of the cup. However, this compression force does not exist only at the first opening, the first opening is not large, so the compression force of the whole cup is enough to compress the flange to prevent the breast pump filled with milk from falling out. At the same time, because the length of the first opening is less than the diameter of the flange, the first opening will also become a lock to limit the flange of the breast pump from falling out.
Preferably, a flange diameter L0 of the breast pump and L1, L2 and L3 satisfy following relational expressions:
L1+L0≥L2; and
L2+L3≥L0.
In the preferred solution of this embodiment, the flange diameter L0 of the breast pump is greater than or equal to the length L2 of the first opening and less than or equal to the length L1 of the second blind opening, L2+L3≥L0, and the ranges of L1, L2 and L3 are given according to the flange diameter.
The breast pump bra cup structure includes a cutting piece A12;
The breast pump bra cup structure includes a cutting piece A3 capable of covering a notch area of the V-shaped structure of the cup;
In this embodiment, the present invention provides cutting piece shapes and cutting piece connection modes. The cutting piece A12 has a V-shaped structure, the cutting piece A3 can cover the notch area of the V-shaped structure of the cup, the cutting piece A3 and the first elastic compression area of the cutting piece A12 have a first overlapping area, the cutting piece A3 and the second elastic compression area of the cutting piece A12 have a second overlapping area, and the cutting piece A3 and the cutting piece A12 are connected in the second overlapping area to form the first blind opening limit line. The cutting pieces A3 and A12 have two overlapping areas, i.e., areas where two V-shaped legs of the cutting piece A3 and the cutting piece A12 are overlapped, and the cutting piece A3 and the cutting piece A12 are connected in the second overlapping area to form the first blind opening limit line, the overlapping and connecting of the cutting pieces makes a first opening, a first blind opening and a second blind opening form between the cutting pieces while the first opening is covered by the cutting piece A3 so that less area of the bra is exposed and the privacy can be protected.
Preferably, a first elastic strip is disposed in the first blind opening limit line 11,
In this embodiment, the first elastic strip is arranged in the first blind opening limit line, and the first elastic strip is used for improving the stretching ability of the first blind opening limit line. After the supported object is installed, due to the thickness of the flange plate, the cutting piece will bulge outward and be in a stretched state after the flange is put in. The elastic strip has good elasticity, which can provide an inward pressure so that the flange clings to the breast and is not easy to wobble.
The cutting piece A3 and the cutting piece A12 are provided with a connecting line M1 in the first overlapping area
In this embodiment, the cutting piece A3 and the cutting piece A12 are provided with the connecting line M1 in the first overlapping area so that the cutting piece A3 and the cutting piece A12 are connected to form a third elastic compression area, and the force given by the center front, shoulder straps and side wings can be transmitted between the cutting piece A3 and the cutting piece A12, the force of the whole cup can be transmitted except the opening, and the compression effect is better. Compared with the cloth, the connecting line M1 is stiffer, which can increase the supporting force for the breast pump.
Preferably, the cutting piece A3 is disposed in the second overlapping area in an inner cup direction of the cutting piece A12; and
In the preferred solution of this embodiment, the cutting piece A3 is disposed in the second overlapping area in an inner cup direction of the cutting piece A12, and the cutting piece A3 is disposed in the first overlapping area in an outer cup direction of the cutting piece A12. This overlapping allows the first opening to be covered by the cutting piece A3 so that less area of the bra is exposed and the privacy can be protected.
In the preferred solution of this embodiment, the cutting piece A3 is triangular, because the notch area of the V-shaped structure of the cup is triangular, the triangular design can save cloth while covering the notch area of the V-shaped structure of the cup.
The breast pump bra cup structure includes a cutting piece A1 and a cutting piece A2;
In this embodiment, the breast pump bra cup structure includes the cutting piece A1 and the cutting piece A2, the cutting piece A1 has a first elastic compression area, the cutting piece A2 has a second elastic compression area, and the first elastic compression area and the second elastic compression area form a V-shaped structure. Cutting the cutting piece directly into a V-shaped structure is cost. In the embodiment, the V-shaped structure is formed by splicing two cutting pieces, and the cutting does not require the shape of the two cutting pieces separately, as long as they are connected in a V-shape to improve working efficiency.
A breast pump bra including a bra body is provided.
The bra body is provided with two inner cups 12;
In this embodiment, the two inner cups of the breast pump bra are made of the breast pump bra cup structure as described above, and the breast pump bra made in this way can achieve that the compression force of the whole cup is sufficient to compress the flange so that the breast pump with milk does not fall out and the flange of the breast pump cannot fallout from the first opening.
The breast pump bra includes a shoulder strap 13.
The shoulder strap 13 includes a quilted front strap 14 and a back strap 15;
Since the breast weight of lactating women increases due to milk secretion, the use of common shoulder straps may cause the breast weight to exert greater pressure on the shoulders, which can produce strangulation marks and even cause shoulder pain when the bra was worn for a long time.
In this embodiment, the shoulder strap includes a quilted front strap and a back strap, and the quilted front strap is adopted at a part directly in contact with the shoulders, and a width of the quilted front strap is slightly wider than that of the common shoulder strap, so as to reduce the pressure on the shoulders.
Preferably, the quilted front strap 14 includes two pieces of cloth and a cotton core,
In the preferred solution of the embodiment, the quilted front strap is made by placing a cotton core between two pieces of cloth. The cotton core is a sponge. The cotton core is placed between the two pieces of cloth, and then binding process is performed on edges of the cloth, so as to wrap the cotton core and reduce the friction of the shoulder straps on the shoulder skin. Also, the cotton core has a good sweat absorption effect, which keeps the shoulder skin dry.
The bra body includes two outer cups 17;
In the embodiment, the two outer cups are arranged on the front chest parts of the bra body corresponding to the two inner cups, which can not only cover the inner cups when the breast pump is not used, so that the appearance of the breast pump bra is simple and beautiful, but also reduce the external collision impact on the breasts of lactating women and prevent embarrassment of bumps.
The breast pump bra includes a nursing ring 19;
In this embodiment, the breast pump bra includes a nursing ring, which is connected with the upper side of the front chest part of the bra body, and is used together with the nursing hook to play the role of detachable connection of the front chest part. When the breast pump is in use, the nursing ring is removed from the nursing hook, and then the inner cup is exposed for use with the breast pump. After the breast pumping is completed, the nursing ring is hung into the nursing hook, so that the front chest part completely covers the inner cup, and the whole process can be operated with one hand, which is more convenient.
A lower part of a bottom wing of the bra body is rib stitch 20;
In this embodiment, a lower part of a bottom wing of the bra body is rib stitch 20, to be used to improve an elasticity of an under bust of the breast pump bra in wearing. Since the rib stitch has good elasticity, when wearing breast pump bra, it can adapt to different under busts of women with the same bust circumference. At the same time, rib tissue has good sweat absorption, which can also keep the skin of the wearer's lower bust dry, avoid sultry and humid, and prevent breast infection and inflammation caused by bacteria breeding.
A joint of a lower part and an upper part of the bottom wing of the bra body is provided with a second elastic strip 21;
In this embodiment, a joint of a lower part and an upper part of the bottom wing of the bra body is provided with a second elastic strip, which is used to cover seams of the cutting pieces in the two inner cups, so that the appearance is smooth and the comfort is increased due to the elasticity of the second elastic strip.
