  • Patent number: 11779062
    Abstract: A breastfeeding garment and method of use is provided. The breastfeeding garment includes a first front flap and a second front flap positioned over the breasts of a user, and a back panel, all of which are joined at two side seams. The first and second front flaps may be moved away from each other vertically to form an aperture through the breastfeeding garment. The first and second front flaps are composed of an elastic material, so a breastfeeding funnel may be placed onto the breast of a user through the aperture and then induced to remain in contact with the breast through the elastic force generated by the breastfeeding garment.

  • Patent number: 9307854
    Abstract: A reconfigurable article holder comprises a sleeve defining a cavity and having an inner surface and an outer surface. The cavity receives and supports a container in a first container supporting configuration, wherein the inner surface of the sleeve contacts the container. The sleeve includes first and second fastener portions which are mateable to form a container-surrounding opening operable to receive and support a beverage container in a second container supporting position, wherein the outer surface of the sleeve contacts the beverage container. A strap having sufficient strength to support the weight of a beverage container attaches to the sleeve at least one opening. The first fastening portion may be disposed on the inner surface of the sleeve, while the second fastening portion may be disposed on the outer surface of the sleeve. The first and second fastening portions may be further mateable to form a storage configuration.
