Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
356 words
A breast development apparatus intended for use by a woman to tone and develop the tissues of the breast, the apparatus comprising: a rigid elongated cylindrically shaped handle member including an elongated cylindrically shaped body member having cylindrical side walls, a flat top end, and a flat bottom end; screw threads disposed about a portion of the circumference of said cylindrical side walls adjacent said bottom end thereof; a hemi-spherically shaped hollow body breast cup member manufactured of resilient material and having an exterior surface and a hemi-spherically shaped interior continuous surface; a hemi-spherically shaped compartment defined interiorally of said breast cup and opening out of a bottom surface thereof; a flange member formed integrally with said wall surfaces and extending completely about the peripheral edges thereof to define a plane normal to a vertical axis passing through the vertex of said breast cup; an annular shoulder portion formed integrally with said flange member and projecting outwardly of said breast cup exterior surface and extending completely therearound; an annular member formed integrally with said flange member and projecting outwardly therefrom in a direction inwardly of said breast cup to form a shoulder completely therearound; a cylindrically shaped boss member formed integrally with said wall surfaces and projecting radially outwardly of the exterior surface thereof in a direction concentric with the vertical axis of said breast cup, said cylindrical boss member having cylindrical side walls and a flat top surface extending parallel to the plane defined by said flange; a cylindrical recess formed integrally in said boss member and opening out of the top surface thereof and being of a circular diameter; screw threads disposed completely about the interior wall surfaces of said circular recess adapted to threadedly receive therein the threaded portion of said handle member to detachably retain said handle member to said breast cup; a resilient flexible lining disposed about the complete interior surfaces of said breast cup compartment completely separating the interior of said compartment from said breast cup wall surfaces; and an adhesive coating provided completely over said interior surface of said breast cup for adhesively securing said resilient lining material thereto.
