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.

The present disclosure relates to a baby bottle assembly including a bottle having an open end, a closed end opposite the open end, and an interior volume extending between the open and closed ends. A collar is configured to couple to the open end of the bottle. A cap includes a closed end and an open end, the open end being configured to couple to the collar and configured to couple to the closed end of the bottle. An arc-shaped gap is defined between the cap and the collar when the open end of the cap is coupled to the collar.

A vent prevents a vacuum from forming within an inverted container of liquid when the liquid is dispensed. The vent is a singular vent, formed of a vent tube, the vent tube removably secures with a nipple, and more particularly its radially extending flange, with the nipple flange having a passage therethrough to allow for venting by way of the vent tube from the interior of the container to the location between the container neck and its collar, to provide for the entrance of atmospheric air into the interior of the container during usage to prevent the generation of any vacuum therein. The container may be a nursing bottle, with its collar and nipple applied to the top, and the vent tube being secured to the bottom of the nipple flange for projecting downwardly within the bottle to perform its venting function. The bottle may be formed of fully or partially transparent material, tinted to one or more coloration, while the vent tube may be tinted to one or more different coloration, and when they are assembled, exhibits three or more colorations for the vent tube when viewed from exteriorly of the tinted nursing bottle during its application.

The present invention relates to a venting member, particularly a venting member for an infant feeding bottle assembly. A feeding bottle assembly itself, and a method of forming a venting member are also disclosed. The venting member vents air into an infant feeding bottle assembly and includes: a first member portion having a tube portion with a first opening and a second opening; a second member portion connected to, and configured to be mountable on, the first member portion so that the second opening of the first member portion is selectively closed by the second member portion; and an inlet for venting air into the venting member, wherein the venting member is configured so that the inlet is fluidly connected to the first opening of the first member portion when the second member portion is mounted on the first member portion. The venting member is configured to be mounted, in use, to a container of an infant feeding bottle assembly so that the first opening is disposed within the container. The first member portion and second portion are integrally formed by injection moulding.

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 baby bottle collar for connecting a nipple to a baby bottle including a body having a proximal opening and a distal opening in fluid communication; a nipple retaining protrusion encircling the distal opening, the nipple retaining protrusion configured to engage a nipple of a baby bottle; and a plurality of engagement elements provided adjacent the proximal opening that are configured to engage with an opening of the baby bottle. Where the body of the collar includes an angled bend such that the proximal opening is positioned in non-coaxial alignment with the distal opening. A baby bottle nipple including a nipple body having a proximal opening, a nipple protrusion extending from the nipple body, and a distal opening defined in an end of the nipple protrusion. The nipple protrusion extending from the nipple body at an angle such that a longitudinal axis of the nipple protrusion forms a nonlinear angle.
