Patent number: 11890408Abstract: A motorized medical suction pump has a pump assembly for generating an underpressure, a pump assembly carrier for supporting the pump assembly, and a seat for receiving an energy accumulator. The pump assembly arranged in the pump assembly carrier defines a first longitudinal axis, and the seat defines a second longitudinal axis. The pump assembly carrier forms the seat. The second longitudinal axis extends at an angle to the first longitudinal axis. This suction pump is small and compact and has good sound damping.Type: GrantFiled: November 9, 2018Date of Patent: February 6, 2024Assignee: MEDELA HOLDING AGInventors: Regina Marbet, Marcel Muther, Daniela Käppeli, Andreas Walter

Patent number: 11642443Abstract: A breast shield for a breast pump for expressing human breast milk comprises a rigid base part (1) with a tubular connection piece (10) and with a funnel (11), which is integrally moulded in one piece thereon and widens away from the connection piece (10), for receiving a breast. The breast shield additionally comprises a flexible collar (2) which is arranged on the funnel (11) at an end of the funnel (11) remote from the connection piece (10) and which is realized to be placed onto the mother's breast. The named end of the funnel (11) forms a first contact surface (12) and an end of the collar (2) which faces the funnel (11) forms a second contact surface (22) and they both adjoin one another in an obtuse manner in a circumferential connecting joint (4), wherein the connecting joint is a butt joint.Type: GrantFiled: September 24, 2020Date of Patent: May 9, 2023Assignee: MEDELA HOLDING AGInventors: Etienne Furrer, André Schlienger, Marcel Muther

Patent number: 11179511Abstract: A medical suction pump has a pump housing, a pump assembly arranged in the pump housing and serving to generate an underpressure, and a device for sound damping. The device for sound damping has at least two elastic bearings for elastically supporting the pump assembly relative to the pump housing, wherein the bearings are arranged spaced apart from each other. By virtue of the flexible support, the suction pump permits optimal sound damping.Type: GrantFiled: March 2, 2017Date of Patent: November 23, 2021Assignee: MEDELA HOLDING AGInventors: Cornel Bächler, Armin Felber, Marcel Muther

Patent number: 11000151Abstract: A device for bringing baby food to a certain temperature comprises a vessel having an interior for accommodating a holder for the baby food, a unit for obtaining a temperature for bringing the interior to a certain temperature, and a first sensor for determining the temperature in interior. A second sensor is present for determining the temperature of the baby food in the container. As a result, baby food can be brought to a certain temperature in a manner that is gentle, yet efficient.Type: GrantFiled: December 11, 2017Date of Patent: May 11, 2021Assignee: MEDELA HOLDING AGInventors: Etienne Furrer, Armin Felber, Marcel Muther

Patent number: 10821213Abstract: A breast shield for a breast pump for pumping human breast milk, comprising a rigid base part having a tubular connecting piece and a funnel that is integrally formed therewith and that expands away from the connecting piece for accommodating a mother's breast. The breast shield includes a flexible collar, which is arranged on the funnel at the end of the funnel facing away from the connection piece, and which is designed to be placed on the mother's breast. The end of the funnel forms a first contact surface, and an end of the collar facing the funnel forms a second contact surface (22), which in a circumferential connecting seam adjoin each other in a blunt way. The funnel has a first wall thickness and the collar has a second wall thickness, wherein said second wall thickness is approximately equal to the first wall thickness. The breast shield can be produced simply and inexpensively, nevertheless allowing a high degree of wearing comfort and a tight fit on the mother's breast.Type: GrantFiled: February 9, 2016Date of Patent: November 3, 2020Assignee: MEDELA HOLDING AGInventors: Etienne Furrer, André Schlienger, Marcel Muther
