- The invention relates to a portable breast pump and to a suction unit for use with this portable breast pump.
- Portable breast pumps are known. They have the advantage that a mother can carry them along everywhere and thus maintain a certain degree of independence even throughout the months she is breast-feeding. It is not always easy, however, to find a suitable area in which the mother can express the milk without being disturbed. Working mothers in particular often have to do this in the ladies' toilets in the workplace. In such areas, however, it is usually difficult to find a suitable set-down surface for the breast pump.
- U.S. Pat. No. 6,379,327 discloses a breast-pump system in the case of which the mother can carry all the elements of the breast pump on her body. This system comprises a bra with an integrated breast shield and a wide band which is worn around the stomach and has a first pocket for accommodating a suction unit and a second pocket for accommodating a milk-receiving container. The suction unit and the milk-receiving container are connected to the breast shield, in each case via a dedicated line. The entire system is worn beneath the clothing. This has the disadvantage that the mother always has to carry the breast pump around with her, which is regarded as being awkward and hinders the mother in doing anything else. In addition, the suction unit is of a not inconsiderable weight, with the result that the mother will not really want to carry it for a long period of time. Furthermore, the operating buttons of the breast pump are likewise concealed beneath the clothing and are thus not easily accessible.
- A similar breast pump is also disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 6,440,100, the arrangement of the suction unit not being explained specifically here.
- GB-A-2,366,732 describes a portable breast pump which is carried over the shoulder on a support, the support being length-adjustable. The suction unit is arranged at the bottom front end of the support. The breast attachment cap and the milk-receiving container are fastened on the suction unit by a coupling part. This system can indeed be worn above the clothing, and thus need only be attached as required. The disadvantage, however, is that it is of relatively rigid design, with the result that the mother is hardly able to move as the milk is being expressed. In addition, the suction unit has to be of relatively small design in order that the support does not protrude too far. Small suction units, however, usually also have a low suction capacity and/or have only a rudimentary control means.
- It is an object of the invention to provide a portable breast pump which eliminates the abovementioned disadvantages.
- This object is achieved by a portable breast pump comprising: a suction unit, a collecting unit and a suction line, the suction line connecting the collecting unit to the suction unit, the collecting unit having a breast shield, a milk-receiving container and a coupling element, which connects the breast shield to the milk-receiving container to form a rigid unit, and the suction unit having a housing, wherein the housing is provided with a fastening means for fastening the housing on a carrying means, which can be fastened on a mother's body so that the suction unit can be carried in an exposed manner, wherein the housing has a round cross-section and comprises an upper part and a lower part, wherein the upper part and the lower part are connected with each other by a circulating ball spring-actuated lock.
- This object is further achieved by a suction unit for use in a portable breast pump comprising; a breast pump having a collecting unit with a breast shield, a milk-receiving container and a coupling element, which connects the breast shield to the milk-receiving container for form a rigid unit, the breast pump also having a flexible suction line, by means of which the collecting unit can be connected to the suction unit, and the suction unit having a housing, wherein the housing is provided with a fastening means for fastening the housing on a carrying means, which can be fastened on a mother's body so that the suction unit can be carried in an exposed manner, wherein the housing has a round cross-section and comprises an upper part and a lower part, wherein the upper part and the lower part are connected with each other by a circulating ball spring-actuated lock.
- This object is also achieved by a portable breast pump comprising: a suction unit, a collecting unit and a suction line, the suction line connecting the collecting unit to the suction unit, the collecting unit having a breast shield, a milk-receiving container and a coupling element, which connects the breast shield to the milk-receiving container to form a rigid unit, and the suction unit having a housing, wherein the housing is provided with a fastening means for fastening the housing on a carrying means, which can be fastened on a mother's body so that the suction unit can be carried in an exposed manner, wherein the housing has a round cross-section and comprises an upper part and a lower part, and wherein the fastening means comprises an eye attached to a periphery of the housing, either to the upper part or the lower part.
- The connection between the carrying element and fastening means is preferably releasable. It is preferably possible for the housing to be fastened on the mother's trouser or dress belt or to be carried on a loop around the neck.
- This breast pump with its suction unit allows the mother to move freely even as the milk is being expressed. In addition, the mother can select the location and how she wishes to carry the suction unit.
- If the housing is of flat design, it is more comfortable for the mother to carry. In addition, this prevents the mother from catching herself anywhere on the housing. It is advantageous, furthermore, that the housing may be configured relatively freely in terms of shape, with the result that it can be carried as a fashion accessory without being recognizable at first glance as the suction unit of a breast pump. In addition, the suction unit may be of sufficiently large design to accommodate a sufficiently large electric storage cell and the desired electronics.
