The present invention relates to a partitioning component (210) for a feeding bottle device (100), the feeding bottle device (100) comprising a teat component (110) defining a teat volume (115) therein and a container component (120) defining a container volume (125) therein, the teat component (110) being attachable to the container component (120) by means of an attachment component (130). The partitioning component (210) comprises a first passage (212) allowing a passage of fluid from the container volume (125) to the teat volume (115) and a second passage (214) allowing a passage of fluid from the teat volume (115) to the container volume (125), wherein the second passage (214) is provided in the form of a one-way passage. The invention further relates to a corresponding feeding bottle device (100) and a feeding method. The solutions according to the invention reduce the risk of colic-like symptoms for the infant.

A wind detection device with a flexible enclosure, and opening, and a dispensing tube, filled with powder or liquid and designed to be attached to hunting equipment, headgear, or clothing, wherein pressing on the outside of the device causes a puff of powder or vapor to be dispensed into the air, allowing the user to determine wind direction.

A vent valve, and a vent valve assembly, for a liquid dispensing container, employ a vent disc having small open vent holes in cooperation with an overlying thin flexible flap that covers and closes the vent holes to limit liquid pressure on the holes when the container is upright, yet require little suction pressure to move the flap to draw liquid or vent through the holes. The vent valve can be used in a bottom cap that is attachable to the bottom open end of the container. The vent valve assembly includes such a bottom cap, a sealing member for sealing the bottom cap to the container, and a vent valve. The vent valve and/or bottom cap have an elevated vent disc and a top portion having the thin flexible flap.

An internal element (310) for a feeding bottle (100) is provided, the feeding bottle comprising a teat component (110), and a container component (120), which together define a bottle volume extending longitudinally between a base end of the container component, and a top end of the teat component. The internal element (310) comprises a disc element (620) configured to be positioned within the bottle volume extending transverse the longitudinal axis, and further comprises one or more tab elements (640) protruding from an outer periphery (630) of the disc element for being received between interfacing parts of a coupling arrangement (340, 342) of the bottle.

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.

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.
