The proposed formula-mixing bottle relates to baby feeding vessels. It includes a first container with a bottom, a second container with a bottom, and a cap. The second container's bottom is formed by a closure member in the form of a raisable disk of a disk valve. The closure member has a screw shaft disposed on one side thereof, and the inside surface of the second container has a seal disposed thereon forming a seat for the disk of the closure member. The screw shaft is provided with a guide groove and is disposed inside a retaining sleeve having an arrester mounted in the opening thereof such as to be capable of interacting with the guide groove, and of restricting rotation of the screw shaft. The proposed bottle has a simplified structure as a result of the use of elements having less complex shapes.

The present invention relates to a container unit for engaging with a second container, comprising: a) a container body having a neck portion, wherein said neck portion includes a first sealable opening; and b) a coupling mechanism disposed at said neck portion for enabling engagement with said second container for combining the volume of said container unit and said second container, wherein said coupling mechanism includes: i) a first ring-like seal located at an upper end of said neck and sized to engage an inner wall of an opening of said second container; and ii) a first shoulder, spaced apart from said first seal, sized and configured to sit on an open edge of said second container, wherein said shoulder is in removable abutting relation with the open edge of said second container, while said neck portion is inserted by a maximum extent through the opening of said second container, thereby defining the maximum extent of said first ring-like seal.

A reusable food pouch having a removably insertable one-way valve is disclosed herein. The one-way valve may be used with the reusable food pouch if food product having a water-like consistency is being stored in the reusable food pouch to prevent spills if the reusable food pouch is inadvertently laid on its side. Conversely, the one-way valve may be removed from the reusable food pouch if the food product has a consistency more like thick oatmeal and/or applesauce to allow for free flow of the food product through a spout of the reusable food pouch.

A container for collecting, transporting, storing, delivering and dispensing fluid. The container has a hollow tube with an outer circumference diameter and is configured to receive a plunger. A collection adaptor and a dispensing adaptor provide interchangeable coupling of a variable volume container such as a syringe with a collection device such as a breast pump and a dispensing device such as a nipple. The container also has a circumferential seal assembly secured at one end of the hollow tube. The seal assembly outer diameter is substantially similar to the hollow tube outer diameter.

A device for rinsing a child's mouth and teeth comprising a pliable vessel having a front end, a back end, and side walls defining a hollow interior space inside the vessel. The side walls contain a first depression near the front end and a second depression opposite the first notch. The first depression contains at least one front opening in fluid communication with the interior space, angled to face the front surface of the top teeth, and at least one back opening positioned closer to the front end from the front opening, in fluid communication with the interior space, angled to face the back surface of the top teeth. A removable cap to removably close the vessel mounted at the back end. When the vessel is filled with water and the front end is inserted into a child's mouth so that the first depression receives the portion of the top teeth and the child's second depression receives the portion of the child's bottom teeth, manually squeezing the vessel pushes water through the front opening and the back opening to rinse the portion of the top teeth and the mouth without directly rinsing the bottom teeth.

A breast feeding assembly includes a reservoir that is fillable with a nourishing fluid. A nipple is removably attachable to the reservoir to be suckled by an infant thereby facilitating the infant to consume the nourishing fluid. A pouch is wearable on a user's chest and the reservoir is removably positionable in the pouch. The pouch has a nipple opening therein and the nipple extends outwardly through the nipple opening when the reservoir is positioned in the pouch. A first belt is coupled to the pouch and the first belt is extendable around the user's chest for retaining the pouch on the user's chest. A second belt is coupled to the pouch, the second belt is extendable around the user's chest for retaining the pouch on the user's chest and the second belt is matable to the first belt.

A disposable receptacle useful with an infant feeding system, including a pliable pouch. The pliable pouch may have a single compartment, or a pair of compartments wherein a first compartment is filled with powdered formula, and a second compartment is filled with distilled water. When compartmentalized, the compartments are separated by a burst seal designed to fail upon subjection to pressure of between about 1-3 lbs. The receptacles include a cylindrical fitment with a one-way valve removably positioned therewithin. A top seal of the pliable pouch is secured about the body of the fitment. The receptacles may be used with an infant feeding system having a support disc with an aperture to receive and secure the fitment, and a nipple having an internal chamber sized and configured to tightly and removably receive a portion of the fitment. The infant feeding system may optionally include a bottle and a securing ring.

An actively heated or cooled portable container is provided. The container has a portable body with a receiving portion defined by an inner wall that receives a liquid. A heating and cooling system housed in the portable body has a cooling element in thermal communication with at least a portion of the inner wall to remove heat from the liquid. The heating and cooling system also has a heating element in thermal communication with at least a portion of the inner wall, control circuitry to control the operation of the heating element and one or more power storage elements to provide electrical energy to the heating element and/or control circuitry. The control circuitry controls the heating element to add heat to the liquid in the receiving portion to maintain the temperature of the liquid at a predetermined temperature or increase the temperature of the liquid above said predetermined temperature. Optionally, the control circuitry can calculate a volume of the liquid in the receiving portion of the portable body based on sensed information indicative of a temperature of the liquid in the receiving portion.
