Bottle Teat and Cap for a Drinking Bottle
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.
CLOSURE AND FEEDING BOTTLE INCORPORATING IT
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.
Infant feeding system
An infant feeding system. An infant feeding system comprising a bottle with a closed first end and an second end comprising an aperture that is configured to receive a liquid or semi-liquid substance into the bottle, a nipple comprising a vent system, a ring configured to enable the nipple to couple to the second end of the bottle, and a cap configured to couple to the second end of the ring and configured to couple to the first end of the bottle.
A MOUTHPIECE FOR AN INFANT FEEDING VESSEL
The present application relates to a mouthpiece (20) for an infant feeding vessel (10). The vessel (10) has a mounting collar (60) configured to be received between a receptacle (30) for holding fluid and a connector (40) for mounting the mouthpiece (20) to the receptacle (30) when assembled. The vessel (10) also has an air valve (70) in the mounting collar (60) to allow the flow of air into the receptacle (30) when the mouthpiece (20) is mounted to the receptacle (30). The air valve is biased towards an open condition in its un-assembled state. At least part of the mounting collar (60) is resilient and is configured to be received between the receptacle (30) and the connector (40) when assembled. The at least part of the mounting collar (60) that is resilient is deformable to act on the air valve (70) to tend the air valve (70) towards a closed or further closed condition when the at least part of the mounting collar (60) that is resilient is compressed between the receptacle (30) and the connector (40) and in turn urged to deform in an inwardly radial direction of the mounting collar.
MULTIPURPOSE BOTTLE CAP AND METHODS OF MAKING AND USING SAME
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.
INFANT FEEDER
An infant feeder has a handle with a proximally extending tongue and a pouch assembly for fitting over the tongue. The tongue has first and second axially spaced apart detenting structures. In a first configuration, a pouch assembly detenting structure is engaged with the first tongue detenting structure. In order to achieve a second configuration, a predetermined axial force is applied to the pouch assembly relative to the handle, so as to disengage the pouch assembly detenting structure from the first tongue detenting structure, slide the pouch assembly distally down a sidewall of the tongue and engage the second tongue detenting structure. This decreases the size of the food volume bounded by the pouch assembly and the tongue, and proximally displaces any food contained therein.
Partitioning component for a feeding bottle
A partitioning component (210) for dividing a feeding bottle (110) into two sections: one (125) associated with a container (120) part of the bottle and one (115) associated with a teat part (110) of the bottle. The partition allows for at least partial retention of liquid in the teat part even when the bottle is tipped in a horizontal position, the more natural position for feeding a user such as a baby or toddler. To enable flow of fluid between the two sections, the partitioning component comprises a passageway arrangement (215) which comprises one or more openings (225) and the passageway arrangement configured to enable flow of both liquid and air across the partition in different directions. This allows liquid to pass in, and air to pass out, of the teat section (115) during filling of the teat. To enable maximal retention of liquid inside the teat section when the bottle is tilted in the horizontal position, the openings of the passageway arrangement are all confined to a single region of the partitioning component which, in use, is arranged offset on one diametric side of the bottle volume or of the teat volume.
Baby bottle system
A baby bottle system includes a collar configured to connect to a disposable water bottle, a nipple secured to the collar, and a dosing cap configured to connect to the collar and enclose the nipple. The collar includes a lower portion configured to engage the disposable water bottle and an upper portion attached to the lower portion, a base of the nipple being sandwiched between the upper portion and an upper end of the lower portion to secure the nipple to the collar.
SINGLE-USE MULTI-COMPARTMENT BABY FORMULA POUCH
A single-use, multi-compartment infant formula pouch is disclosed. The pouch includes a substantially flat, flexible body formed from a laminate material including an aluminum foil layer. It contains two internal compartments: one pre-filled with powdered infant formula and the other with purified or distilled water. The compartments are separated by a frangible heat seal that ruptures upon applied pressure, enabling mixing just prior to use. The pouch also includes an integrated silicone nipple sealed beneath a removable cap, with the nipple secured into a spout by an internal locking ring to prevent user disassembly. During manufacturing, the pouch is filled under sterile conditions, including nitrogen gas injection and humidity control, to ensure long shelf life and inhibit microbial growth. The result is a tamper-evident, ready-to-feed, disposable system requiring no additional components or assembly.
Silicone baby bottle with enhanced water sealing
Provided is a silicone feeding bottle with enhanced water-sealing properties where the upper portion is open for content insertion, while the body gradually decreases in cross-sectional width from the bottom to the top, forming a gentle curvature resembling a trumpet, conch shell, or similar shape, thus comprising a body characterized by a spiral design. Additionally, the feeding bottle includes a nipple portion detachably attached to the body, along with a coupling means for coupling the nipple portion to the body. The basal coupling part of the nipple portion has a cross-sectional shape resembling the numeral , comprising a basal coupling protrusion that mates with the upper fastening protrusion, a basal horizontal plane extending horizontally from the upper fastening protrusion, and a basal vertical plane extending perpendicularly from the basal horizontal plane.
