A thermochromatic baby bottle for receiving and dispensing fluids to infants and babies along with a method of use comprises a bottle, a collar, a nipple, a cap, a ribbed sleeve, and a wings handle, any or all of which may have one or more thermochromic elements disposed on, in, or attached to them. A thermometer outline on the side of the bottle, a thermochromatic sticker, one or more raised thermochromic portions of the bottle shaped as rings encircling the bottle, or hidden shapes that become visible when one or more thermochromic elements are engaged, are all non-limiting examples of the one or more thermochromic elements. The bottle may have one or more narrow or graduated portions, one or more non-thermochromic design elements, or any other ornamentation may be disposed on the bottle's exterior as well.

A bottle assembly includes a container, a collar assembly, and a vent insert. The collar assembly includes a collar and a nipple. The vent insert is configured for selective placement on an open top of the container. The vent insert, when placed on the open top of the container, defines a gap for allowing liquid in the liquid chamber of the container to flow towards the nipple and a vent passage having at least one vent opening in flow communication with the liquid chamber for allowing air to flow into the liquid chamber. The vent insert further defines an annular gap forming a portion of the vent passage. The bottle assembly is selectively operable in two different configurations, a first configuration in which the vent insert is placed on the open top of the container and a second configuration in which the vent insert is omitted.

A bottle assembly includes a container having an open end, a closed end, a base portion, and a neck together defining a liquid chamber within the container. The neck has a rim defining the open end of the container. The bottle assembly also includes a collar assembly generally defining a closure for the container. The collar assembly is configured for releasable engagement with the neck of the container over the open end thereof. The collar assembly includes a collar and a nipple. The bottle assembly further includes a cap including a closed end, an open end, and a side wall extending between the closed end and the open end together defining an interior. The cap is configured for releasable engagement with the collar assembly such that the nipple is received within the interior of the cap. In some embodiments, the bottle assembly includes a vent assembly positionable at least in part on the rim of the container to permit venting of the container during use.

The baby bottle with mixer is an infant feeding bottle with an integral, controllable internal mixer. The baby bottle with a mixer includes a conventional bottle having an open upper end and a closed lower end, and a conventional cap for releasably covering and sealing the open upper end of the bottle. An internal wall is mounted within the bottle such that a fluid-tight chamber is defined between a lower surface of the internal wall and the closed lower end of the bottle. An agitator is rotatably mounted on an upper surface of the internal wall, and the agitator is selectively driven by a motor, which is housed within the fluid-tight chamber. A speaker is mounted on the closed lower end of the bottle for playing music, soothing sounds or the like while the baby is being fed. A controller is in communication with the speaker and the motor.

A feeding assembly generally comprises a container having an open top and defining a liquid chamber therein for holding a liquid. A collar assembly defines a closure for the open top of the container upon assembly with the container. The collar assembly includes a collar releasably securable to the container and a nipple coupled to the collar and having an opening through which liquid exits the feeding assembly during feeding. A vent assembly is positionable at least in part on the open top of the container and is configured to facilitate venting of the container to atmosphere as liquid exits the feeding assembly during feeding. The vent assembly is disposed intermediate the container and the nipple and has a vent tube through which air is able to flow from external of the feeding assembly to the container during feeding. The vent tube has an internal rib extending longitudinally of the feeding assembly and is configured to facilitate the flow of liquid from vent assembly back into the container when feeding is ceased and the container is oriented generally upright.

The present invention is a universal replacement lid with nipple assembly that removably affixes, via threading, to inter alia thermally insulated bottles. The instant invention features a replacement lid with a cylindrical hole through the center. The [bottle's] replacement lid [and its corollary attachments, components and features] turn an ordinary bottle into a universal baby-bottle. Atop said hole (annular aperture), rests a ridged rim/lip, under which is positioned a plastic nipple (with optional lugs to further secure said nipple in place in the deployed position). A sealing disc and a half-eggshell-cap together prevent spillage when not in use. The nipple clips in under the lid ridged lip, and may be stored upside down when the bottle is not in use. This feature, combined with the novel feature of a sealing disc, allows for secure, leak-proof nipple storage. When in use/deployed-position, the nipple simply turns right-side-up and clips in to the [bottle] replacement lid [positioning itself just underneath the outer-circumference ridge-lip], allowing for normal dispensation of liquid to the baby. Alternate embodiments also function as a replacement-lid-nipple (with valved-spout) for toddlers' sippy-cup type devices, as described infra and supra. Also of note is that said invention is compatible with both aluminum bottles and also double-walled thermally insulated bottles.

A cup or container assembly having a lip activated input feature. The lip activated feature permits removal of the contents from the cup or container while mitigating against leaks and/or spills. The lid includes a movable member and a baffle. The cup assembly is constructed to have streamlined assembly method due to a reduced number of parts needing separation and/or improved connecting features. The improved geometry of lid components lends to heightened ease of cleaning.

The present invention relates to a bottle comprising: a lower section, a container for enclosing and holding a first substance, the container being located inside the bottle, a lid for closing the container, an upper section connected to the lower section and for holding a second substance above the lid, a seal located between the lid and the container to assure that the second substance contained in the upper section does not mix with the first substance of the container (9), and a push-release system to displace the lid to permit mixing of the first and second substances. The push-release system includes the container movably mounted in the bottle between a first position where the container does not act on the lid and a second position in which the entire container is displaced to displace the lid to permit mixing of the first and second substances.

A module for adjusting a temperature of a liquid in a container can include an elongate portion sized for insertion into the container, the elongate portion having an outer surface that contacts the liquid in the container about its circumference, the elongate portion housing therein one or more heating or cooling elements operable to facilitate heat transfer between at least a portion of the elongate portion and the liquid in the container. An adaptor attached to a proximal end of the elongate portion has a rim and a circumferential wall that have an outer circumference greater than an outer circumference of the elongate portion, the adaptor defining one or more passages between the circumferential wall and the outer surface of the elongate portion. The adaptor can be coupled to an opening of the container such that the elongate portion is suspended in the container and so that at least a portion of the elongate portion is submerged in the liquid in the container. The one or more passages allow the liquid to exit the vessel while the elongate portion is disposed in the container, allowing a user to consume the liquid in the container while the module is disposed in the container. A plurality of adaptors of varying sizes can be provided to allow use of the module with containers of varying sizes.
