Patent number: 11235093Abstract: A breastmilk collection device includes breast contacting flange, a vacuum reservoir, flexible diaphragm separating the breast contacting flange and the vacuum reservoir, and a flange receiver between the breast contacting flange and the flexible diaphragm. The breast contacting flange has a wide portion for accepting the breast and a narrow portion. The flexible diaphragm is located between the narrow portion and the vacuum reservoir. The flexible diaphragm moves between a sealed configuration, in which the breast contacting flange is sealed off from the vacuum reservoir, and an open valve configuration, in which the flexible diaphragm acts as a one-way valve to allow expressed milk to flow through a milk flow opening between the flexible diaphragm and the breast contacting flange when an opening pressure is reached in the breast contacting flange.Type: GrantFiled: February 23, 2021Date of Patent: February 1, 2022Assignee: Lansinoh Laboratories, Inc.Inventors: Peter Lawrence Visconti, Rush Lloyd Bartlett, II, Yuka Yamaguchi, Brian T.

Patent number: 10857271Abstract: Examples disclosed herein are relevant to breast pumps. Disclosed examples include breast pumps that automatically adjust various pumping parameters based on data obtained from one or more sensors. The one or more sensors can produce data regarding an amount of milk expressed by a user. The adjusting of the pumping parameters can be configured to, for example, help the user efficiently express milk by utilizing a closed-feedback system that monitors the flow rate of the expressed milk.Type: GrantFiled: September 6, 2019Date of Patent: December 8, 2020Assignee: LANSINOH LABORATORIES, INC.Inventors: Rush Bartlett, Hasan Keser, Faik Koklu, Koji Matsutori, Peter Lawrence Visconti, Frank Tinghwa Wang
