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.

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 abase 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.

There is disclosed a drinking receptacle comprising: a container for containing a fluid for drinking; and an outlet member having an outlet through which the fluid is delivered under a pressure supplied by a user of the receptacle and a collar portion that attaches to an opening of the container such that an undersurface of the collar portion abuts with an upper surface of the opening of the container to form a substantially sealed engagement between the outlet member and the container; wherein either the undersurface of the collar portion or the upper surface of the opening of the container has at least one vent formed therein, the at least one vent being configured such that when said pressure is applied to the outlet member the at least one vent member permits the controlled ingress of air into the container to facilitate flow of fluid from the outlet, and when said pressure is removed the at least one vent member substantially prevents the ingress of air into the container to facilitate a controlled vacuum pressure within the container.

An unfilled liquid reservoir for use as part of a dispenser for dispensing pharmaceutical or cosmetic liquids, including an outer housing for placing on a dispensing head of the dispenser and a flexible bag arranged within the outer housing for receiving liquid before the dispensing process. The bag has an opening for removing the liquid, and an intermediate region between the outer housing and the bag is connected to a surrounding area by a ventilation opening which passes through a wall of the outer housing. The flexible bag is provided in a stowed storage state in which the inner volume of the bag is maximally 10% of the maximum inner volume of the bag within the outer housing.

Apparatus and methods for a baby bottle assembly are provided. The baby bottle assembly may include a nipple and an internally threaded collar configured to receive a bottom portion of the nipple. The assembly may also include a receptacle including an externally threaded neck and a cylindrical surface defining a mouth of the receptacle. The assembly may further include a bottle insert including a flange, the flange having an outer circumference greater than or equal to a circumference of the mouth. A top surface of the bottle insert may include a plurality of apertures and a top portion of a hollow protrusion. A bottom surface of the bottle insert may include a bottom portion of the hollow protrusion, the plurality of apertures and a diaphragm.

A baby bottle device (100) is provided which comprises a container (110) with a container volume (115), a teat (120) with a teat volume (125) and a valve unit (200). The teat comprises a first valve (112) for inletting air into the inside volume of the bottle (100). The inside volume of the bottle corresponds to the volume of the container (110) and the teat volume (125). The valve unit (200) with a second valve (210 230) is arranged outside the teat volume (125). The threshold of the vent unit is lower than the threshold of the first vent (112) in the teat.
