A bottle assembly is provided including a bottle having an end portion with a first detent formation, and a collar having a second complementary detent formation. The collar is arranged to snap fit to the end portion by engagement of the detent formations by application of force only in a direction towards the bottle. In addition, a valve assembly for use with a drinking vessel is provided including a base member and a sealing member. The sealing member is moveable, dependent on a pressure difference across it, between a sealed position, wherein the sealing member is sealed against the base member, and an unsealed position, wherein the sealing member is unsealed from the base member. One or more channels are formed between the base member and the sealing member and are arranged to allow air to enter the drinking vessel when the sealing member is in the unsealed position.

A drinking container is provided that can include a lid member and a cup member. The lid member can include a base member and a spout extending up from the base member. The spout can provide a fluid passageway from outside the drinking container to the volume of the cup member so that a child may drink liquid contained within the cup member. When the lid member is removably coupled to the cup member, two or more seals are created around the circumference of the drinking container between the lid member and the cup member to decrease the likelihood of leakage from between the cup member and the lid member when the lid is coupled to the cup member.

An automatic feeding apparatus includes a bottle for holding liquid, a tube connected to the bottle, and a teat connected to the tube. A characterizing feature of the system is that the bottle has an air-intake mechanism adapted to release the liquid within the bottle through the tube to the teat.

The present invention provides a container system that allows a user to store ingredients of a formulation in separate individual containers that can be assembled easily into an extended single compartment container, thereby enabling to mix the ingredients, in a gentle shaking or swirling manner, to form the formulation prior to use.

For the carrying of beverages, it is known to fill the beverages into containers. Generally, the opening of the container is either suitable for drinking directly from the container or for filling the container with the beverage and cleaning said container. The invention therefore provides a container for receiving a beverage, which container is particularly easy to handle and is able to be effectively cleaned. This is achieved by virtue of the fact that an upper portion of a body of the container has at least a first opening and a second opening, which are respectively to be closed and opened by means of a cap.

An infant feeding assembly including a feeding bottle and a sealed cup holding a single serve of infant formula to be mixed with water. The bottle includes a cup holder, a teat, a mounting ring, a water fill opening and a closure device. The cup holder is adapted to hold the cup, in an opened condition. The teat has a dome shaped base and a spout. The mounting ring releasably mounts the teat onto the cup holder. The water fill opening, through which a mixing cavity of the feeding bottle can be filled with water while the opened cup is held by the cup holder and the teat is mounted on the cup holder, is provided in the cup holder and/or in the mounting ring and/or in the teat. The cup and the teat at least partially define the mixing cavity.
