Definitions

  • This invention relates to feeding-bottles, and to teats for use therein.
  • a feeding-bottle having a teat, wherein a path for air to enter the bottle extends through a portion of the teat spaced from its nipple, and means is provided for selective compression of said portion in regulation of air-flow via said path.
  • Said means of the feeding-bottle may involve a member for retaining the teat attached to the bottle, and in this respect the retaining member may be adjustable to bear on said portion of the teat to a selectively-variable extent for regulation of the air-flow.
  • the retaining member may be a collar that is screwed onto a neck of the bottle over an annular flange of the teat for retaining the teat attached to the bottle, compression of said portion being increased by turning the collar to tighten it on the bottle.
  • the collar may have an inturned annular lip that bears on a lug which is upstanding from the flange of the teat, and in these circumstances the air-path may comprise a radial passage within the flange beneath the lug so that the air-path is constricted by tightening of the collar on the bottle.
  • a teat for a feeding-bottle wherein a path for air to enter the bottle extends through an annular retention flange of the teat such that compression of the flange constricts the air-path.
  • the path may comprise a radial passage within the flange so that compression of the flange constricts air-flow through the passage.
  • the passage which may have a cross-section of lozenge configuration, may extend within the flange beneath a lug that is .upstanding from the flange such that force exerted on the lug to compress the flange constricts the air-path.
  • a slit inside the teat may be included in the air-path to act by resilience of the teat to limit air-flow via the path.
  • the slit may be in a projection from the inner rim of the flange.
  • Figures 1 and 2 are, respectively, a side elevation and a plan of the feeding-bottle of the invention
  • FIG. 3 is a sectional elevation of the feeding-bottle taken on the line III-III of Figure 2;
  • FIG. 4 is a sectional elevation of the feeding-bottle taken on the line IV-IV of Figure 1;
  • Figure 5 shows detail of the feeding-bottle to enlarged scale, the detail being of the area V of Figure 4;
  • Figures 6 and 7 are perspective views of the teat according to the present invention, used in the feeding- bottle of Figures 1 to 4 ;
  • Figure 8 is a side elevation of the teat of Figures 6 and 7 ; and Figure 9 shows detail of the teat to enlarged scale, the detail being of the area IX of Figure 8.
  • the feeding-bottle to be described has an angled teat for helping to reduce the tendency to colic in young babies (for example, up to six months old) when fed from a straight teat.
  • the invention and its application are not dependent on the use of an angled teat and the angled teat of the feeding-bottle to be described may in this respect be replaced by a straight teat for young as well as older babies.
  • the angled teat 1 which is of silicone rubber, has a peripheral, annular flange 2 that is seated on the open-end rim 3 of a wide-necked bottle 4.
  • a cylindrical collar 5 is screwed onto the neck 6 of the bottle 4 over the flange 2 , and has an in- turned annular lip 7 which engages a shoulder 8 of the teat 1.
  • the underside of the flange 2 has a peripheral groove 9 that seats on the rim 3, and the bell 10 of the teat 1 has a circumferential groove 11 just above the flange 2 that is engaged by the lip 7.
  • the lip 7 engages in the groove 11 when the bell 10 surmounted by the nipple 12, is pushed through the collar 5 in assembly of the feeding-bottle. Screwing down of the collar 5 onto the neck 6 of the bottle 4 pulls the lip 7 down onto the shoulder 8 within the groove 11. This presses the flange 2 hard down onto the rim 3, creating a liquid and airtight seal with it within the groove 9.
  • the bottle 4 containing milk (expressed or formula) is tipped up through some sixty degrees so as to fill the teat 1 fully; because of the angled form of the teat 1 in this case, its nipple 12 is, however, presented to the baby less steeply.
  • Air is admitted to the bottle 4 to enable the baby to draw the milk gently (without gulping) through small holes 13 in the nipple 12 as he/she sucks on the teat 1.
  • the air is admitted via a passage 14 (see Figure 5 especially) in the annular flange 2, and the rate with which it can enter, and therefore the rate of milk-flow to the baby, is adjustable simply by turning the collar 5 slightly in the sense to tighten or loosen it on the bottle 4.
  • the passage 14 has a cross-section of elongate-lozenge configuration (most clearly seen in Figure 9) , and extends radially inwards through the flange 2 from its outer rim 15 to terminate within a small projection 16 (see Figure 7) on the inner rim 17 of the flange 2.
  • a fine slit 18 (see Figures 5 and 7) , which extends into the projection 16 at right angles to the passage 14, allows air entering the passage 14 from around and under the collar 5, to pass into the bottle 4.
  • the slit 18, because of the resilience of the silicone rubber, acts as an air-flow limiter, but regulation of the flow within this established limit is achieved as indicated above, by turning the collar 5.
  • the teat 1 used in conjunction with the bottle 4 and collar 5 as described above has the distinct advantage of enabling air to be readily admitted to the bottle 4, but nonetheless in a limited and selectively-regulatable manner.
  • the structure of the teat 1 is such that this advantage is achieved simply, without the use of a special bottle.

Abstract

La présente invention concerne un biberon qui possède une tétine (1) qui est fixée au goulot (6) de ce biberon sous la lèvre (7) annulaire d'une bague (5) vissée au biberon (4). Cette lèvre (7) s'emboîte dans un sillon (11) périphérique de la partie tulipée (10) de la tétine de façon à presser hermétiquement la collerette (2) de retenue de cette tétine (1) sur le bord (3) du goulot (6). L'air est admis dans le biberon (4) via une fente (18) de limitation de flux à l'extrémité d'un passage (14) à section en forme de losange qui se prolonge radialement à travers la collerette (2) en dessous d'un bossage (19). La lèvre (7) porte sur ce bossage (19) de façon à comprimer la collerette (2) si bien que le réglage de l'étanchéité de la bague (5) modifie l'étranglement du passage (14) afin de réguler le flux de l'air dans le biberon (4).
