An impact-resistant portable container protector used during transportation of a liquid, wherein the portable container protector is capable of heating or cooling a liquid within the container during transportation in an automobile or other mobile vehicle. The heating is typically achieved using an electrically-powered heating jacket, or cooling is achieved using a removable cooling packet which may be placed within the impact-resistant portable container protector. Heat transfer from the heating jacket or cooling packet may be improved by use of an agitator which may be present within the container. The agitator may be turned by a magnetic coupling. Power to operate the heating jacket and the agitator, when present, is supplied by a battery which is internal to the portable container protector. Additional power may be supplied to the battery using an external power feed such as a USB type connection or other connection of the kind typically present in an automobile or other motor vehicle.

A bottle teat consisting of a soft elastic material for a drinking bottle, in particular for infants and small children, having: a teat flange, a hollow teat sleeve that projects upward from the teat flange and is connected at its bottom end to the teat flange, a hollow suction part that is connected at its bottom end to the top end of the hollow teat sleeve and projects upward therefrom, a dome-shaped palate-contacting region on a side of the mouthpiece facing the palate, at least one drinking hole in the palate-contacting region that extends from the outside to the inside of the mouthpiece,

wherein: an elevated surface that bulges to the outside is on the outside of the palate-contacting region, and the at least one drinking hole is arranged in the elevated surface so that the suction part with the elevated surface can be pressed in a sealing manner against an inwardly bulging sealing surface on the inside of the cap bottom of a cap to cover the bottle teat.

An apparatus for a baby bottle container may include a plug assembly. A plug assembly may include a wall forming an inner volume. A plug may extend from the wall and form a portion of the inner volume. The plug assembly may be capable of removable attachment to a baby bottle container. An apparatus for a baby bottle container may include a chamber assembly capable of removable attachment to the plug assembly. The chamber assembly may comprise a partition configured to receive a portion of the plug within the inner volume of the plug assembly. The chamber assembly may be axially slidable about the plug assembly to selectively engage the partition with the plug to form a seal.

Closures are provided consisting of a lid or cap member and a container member. These are inter-engageable with one another. The lid or cap member has a skirt and the container member has an upstanding rim, each of which is of generally polygonal shape. Located on each of the facing walls on each side of the polygonal shape are inter-engageable projections. The inter-engaging surfaces of the projections run substantially in a plane perpendicular to the axis of the polygonal shape and are of relatively small angular extent about that axis. The material of one or both of the skirt and container portion is resiliently elastic. The closure may be assembled with an axial push, and removed by twisting.

A dual chambered receptacle configured to retain a first ingredient and a second ingredient comprises a first portion having a cover and a rupturing member. The receptacle includes a second portion having a cup and a perimeter portion. The second portion is configured to be removably secured to the first portion. The cup is configured to retain the first ingredient. A seal is coupled to first portion and the second portion when the first portion is removably secured to the second portion. The receptacle includes a vessel having a mouth. The vessel is configured to retain the second ingredient. The seal is configured to detach from the second portion to allow the first ingredient to fall into the vessel to mix with the second ingredient when the first portion is moved relative to the second portion.

A baby bottle serving pair provides two 4-ounce baby bottles and a freshness indicator. The serving pair is comprised of two 4-ounce baby bottles, an upper bottle and a lower bottle, whose bottom surfaces may be secured to each other with screw threads. Each nipple provides a heat sensitive ring which begins to change color when exposed to the warmth of the baby's lips, and may be used as a timer to determine the freshness of the baby formula or breast milk in the bottle.

Embodiments relate to a baby bottle having a nipple with enhanced resilience against flexing of its body during bottle-feeding use. The nipple has ribs extending in a slanted direction on its inner surface to enhance its elastic recovery elongation or contraction during a bottle-feeding cycle. Some of the ribs may extend into an elongated tip of the nipple to enhance the recovery of the elongated tip from its collapse or compression. The ribs enable the nipple to remain thin while providing sufficient elasticity so that the nipple has a desirable tactile feel while supporting a natural bottle-feeding action. Embodiments also relate to a container of the baby bottle having a rigid cylinder and a resilient body secured to the rigid cylinder. The rigid cylinder has a structure to secure the resilient body formed onto the rigid cylinder by an injection molding process.

A baby bottle for feeding an infant is adapted to store baby formula powder in a nipple cavity separated from fluid in the bottle by a seal plate. The seal plate is dislodged by manual pressure applied to at least one seal plate release button integrated into a collar of the baby bottle, to permit the formula powder to mix with the fluid when the bottle is to be used for feeding.

A beverage formula container for use with a beverage receptacle, the beverage formula container including a container body extending from a first open end configured for dispensing a beverage to a second open end configured for attachment to a beverage receptacle body of the beverage receptacle, the container body including a flared section and an at least partially deformable section in proximity of the flared section and a sealing member configured to be inserted into the second end so as to sealingly engage an inner surface of the container body proximate the flared section so as to form a chamber between the sealing member and the first end, the chamber being configured to receive beverage formula therein, and wherein deformation of the deformable section allows the sealing member to disengage the inner surface of the container body and pass through the flared section and the second end, thereby releasing beverage formula through the second end into an attached beverage receptacle body.

A smart baby bottle is disclosed. A smart bottle comprises a hollow body for holding fluid, a bottle cap attached to the top of the hollow body, and a bottle base mounted on the hollow body. The bottle cap comprises a nipple or is optionally attached to a nipple. The bottle base comprises an electronic function system. In an aspect, the electronic function system comprises a battery, a circuit board, a switch button, a music interchanger system, and an audio system. The electronic function system can provide and/or trigger a sound pattern when a baby or toddler is drinking from the smart bottle. The bottle base can be separated from the hollow body when desired. The smart bottle may be configured to be located remotely.
