ABSTRACT:
A device for measuring the volume of a female breast.
In one embodiment, a circular template or sheet of transparent, flexible material is capable of being formed into a hollow cone whose size can be adjusted. Calibrations are provided selectively for indicating a series of breast volume measurements directly. In use, the sheet is formed into a cone around the breast and adjusted in position to conform to the compressed configuration of the breast. The volume of the breast contained in the cone is then read directly from the calibrations on the sheet.
In another embodiment, a rectangular template or sheet of transparent flexible material is capable of being formed into a hollow cylinder which can be adjusted in diameter selectively. Calibrations are provided on the sheet for indicating the inside volume of the cylinder at different locations along its length for different inside diameters of the cylinder. A plunger or disk is provided which is sized to move inside the cylinder. In use, the sheet is formed into a cylinder around the breast, adjusted in diameter to contain the breast tightly and then locked at that position. The plunger or disk is then inserted into the cylinder and pressed against the breast lightly so as to compress the breast completely to fill the cylinder. The volume of the cylinder filled by the compressed breast is then read directly from the calibrations on the sheet.
