Abstract
The invention is a wearable breast pump system including a housing shaped at least in part to fit inside a bra and a piezo air-pump. The piezo air-pump is fitted in the housing and forms part of a closed loop system that drives a separate, deformable diaphragm to generate negative air pressure. The diaphragm is removably mounted on a breast shield.
Claims (9)
1 . A breast pump device, the breast pump device comprising:
a housing comprising:
a battery, and
a pump configured to be powered by the battery and further configured to generate generating negative air pressure,
a breast shield comprising a breast flange and a nipple tunnel;
a diaphragm holder that forms a recess or cavity at least in part with an external surface of the housing; and
a diaphragm configured to prevent milk from reaching the pump, the diaphragm further configured to be seated against the diaphragm holder and to deform in response to changes in air pressure caused by the pump to create negative air pressure in the nipple tunnel,
wherein the diaphragm holder extends from the breast shield and sits above the nipple tunnel.
2 . The breast pump device of claim 1 , further comprising linear guide lines configured to run parallel to the sides of the nipple placed within the nipple tunnel and to facilitate correct alignment of the breast shield.
