- cover-ups may be sold as a so-called “one-size-fits-all.” Due to the wide variety of body shapes and sizes, such cover-ups may be too loose and may drop down or fall off entirely while the mother is nursing her baby. Other cover-ups may be too big and bulky and unnecessarily take up too much space in a diaper bag, reducing the space available in the diaper bag for other essential supplies. Big and bulky cover-ups can also make the mother and/or baby unnecessarily hot and uncomfortable. Recognizing the inadequacies in these cover-ups, some mothers simply use blankets to cover themselves while nursing their baby in public. However, the use of blankets still may be hot and uncomfortable. In addition, the blankets typically cannot be secured and therefore can easily fall off when positioning or repositioning the baby during nursing.

The nursing cover also includes a second cord attached on one end substantially at a midpoint of the first cord, the second cord having a clip on the other end of the second cord. Any two of the clips are configured to attach on opposite corners of one side of a cover, the third clip attaching between the other two clips to the same side of the cover as the other two clips
Description
- This application claims priority to co-owned U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 61/104,749 for “Anytime Nursing Cover” of Julie Pate Gurule, filed Oct. 12, 2008, hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety as though fully set forth herein.
- There are many reasons a new mother may choose to breastfeed or nurse her newborn baby, including personal preference and possible health benefits. Because a mother cannot always be at home or in another private area when the baby needs to be fed, there are a number of cover-ups available in the marketplace which provide a mother a degree of privacy for nursing her baby in a public environment. However, nursing a baby in a public environment is difficult and potentially embarrassing if the cover-up is not reliable in shielding her exposed upper body.
- By way of example, some commercially available cover-ups may be sold as a so-called “one-size-fits-all.” Due to the wide variety of body shapes and sizes, such cover-ups may be too loose and may drop down or fall off entirely while the mother is nursing her baby. Other cover-ups may be too big and bulky and unnecessarily take up too much space in a diaper bag, reducing the space available in the diaper bag for other essential supplies. Big and bulky cover-ups can also make the mother and/or baby unnecessarily hot and uncomfortable. Recognizing the inadequacies in these cover-ups, some mothers simply use blankets to cover themselves while nursing their baby in public. However, the use of blankets still may be hot and uncomfortable. In addition, the blankets typically cannot be secured and therefore can easily fall off when positioning or repositioning the baby during nursing.

FIG. 1 shows anursing cover 10 including acord assembly 20 which may be implemented with any of a wide variety of different types ofcovers 30. In an exemplary embodiment, thecord assembly 20 is a tri-cord assembly. The tri-cord assembly may comprise afirst cord 21, a second cord 22, and athird cord 23. Alternatively, the tri-cord assembly may comprise a single cord (includingportions 21 and 22) and anothercord 23, wherein thecord 23 is attached substantially at a midpoint of the first cord to form two arms (portions 21 and 22). Still other embodiments of thecord assembly 20 are contemplated, including different numbers and/or configurations of cords. - In an exemplary embodiment, the
cord assembly 20 may include aconnector device 25 for connecting thecords FIG. 1 , theconnector device 25 comprises a T-connector.

In an exemplary embodiment, any two clips (e.g.,clips 26 and 27) may be attached substantially on opposite corners of one side of thecover 30. The third clip (e.g., clip 28) may be attached to the cover between the other two clips. Such a configuration may be seen inFIGS. 2 and 3 as worn byuser 50. - For use, one of the three clips (e.g., clip 27) secures the
cover 30 in front of a user's first (e.g., right)shoulder 51. One of the three clips (e.g., clip 26) secures thecover 30 in front of the user's second (e.g., left)shoulder 52. One of the three clips (e.g., clip 28) secures thecover 30 behind the user'ssecond shoulder 52. Accordingly, themother 50 may hold herbaby 55 under the cover for nursing as shown inFIG. 4 . Themother 50 may move herbaby 55 under thecover 30 and out from other thecover 30, e.g., on theside 60 where thecover 30 is only attached in front of hershoulder 51. The other side of thecover 30 is securely wrapped around her other shoulder 52 (e.g., as best seen inFIG. 3 ) so that thebaby 55 moving, or themother 50 moving her arm 53, does not inadvertently expose theside 61 of her chest. - According to the embodiment just described,
cords 21 and 22 are in front of the user andcord 23 is behind the user's shoulder. Such a configuration allows thecord assembly 20 to lay flat against the user's chest. However it is to be appreciated that such an embodiment is not necessary. Indeed, a cord assembly may be provided such that any of the cords can be positioned anywhere on the user during use while still realizing the benefit of having the cord assembly lay flat against the user's chest. - It is noted that the
nursing cover 10 may also be configured for any of a wide variety of body sizes, types, and/or shapes. Thenursing cover 10 may be customized for a particular user. For example, at least one of thecords cord assembly 20 may be adjustable in size (e.g., in length).

nursing cover 10 may be readily folded and packaged for sale, e.g., in vending machines near baby changing stations in public areas. Thenursing cover 10 may be sold with or without thecover 30. Or thenursing cover 10 may be sold with a disposable cover. Additional disposable covers may be purchased separately and/or the user may use other suitable covers after purchasing the cord assembly. - In an exemplary embodiment, the
cover 30 may be any suitable item. For example, thecover 30 may be a cloth, a shirt, scarf, or other clothing article, a towel, a receiving blanket or other blanket, paper, plastic bag, or other items commonly available (e.g., items which the mother may already carry in her diaper bag). Thecover 30 may be commonly used for a primary purpose (e.g., a plastic bag for disposing of soiled diapers or even a newspaper), and its use as acover 30 is a secondary purpose. Of course thecover 30 may also be different colors/patterns/styles so that the user can tailor thenursing cover 10 to her personal taste. - The
cover 30 also enables thenursing cover 10 to be tailored or configured to the user's own desires. For example, the user may desire a lighter weight cover 30 in warmer environments, and a heavier weight cover 30 in cooler environments. The user can also customize the type ofcover 30, e.g., to match her clothing (e.g., formal wear or casual). - Optionally, the
cover 30 may be provided with pockets for holding the mother's keys or other items while she is nursing the baby. Likewise, thecover 30 may be provided with a zipper (or Velcro or other closure means) around at least a portion of the cover so that the cover can be folded and maintained as a bundle for easy storage in the diaper bag, purse, backpack, etc. Other configurations are also contemplated even though not specified herein, and may be implemented based on design and/or cost considerations. - Although nursing cover 10 has been described herein with reference to the drawings as it may be used for nursing a baby, it is noted that the
nursing cover 10 is not limited to any particular type of use.
