Definitions

  • the present invention relates to bottles used for feeding infants.
  • a bottle is formed by the assembly of three separate elements, namely a container, a teat and a screwed ring for the removable fixing of this teat on the threaded neck of the container.
  • the containers were established in a substantially cylindrical shape with a straight profile, bottles have recently been proposed with an angled profile which limit the risk of admission, inside the mouth of the child , air which overcomes the liquid level inside the container, provided of course that the bottle is properly oriented during feeding, that is to say with the closed part or bottom facing up.
  • nipples are known in which the opening made at the end of the nipple for the passage of the liquid is profiled so that the admitted flow rate can be adjusted by modifying the orientation of the abovementioned opening in infant's mouth.
  • This type of teat has been very successful due to the interest of the adjustment it allows to obtain on the flow, depending on the age of the child, his appetite, the nature more or thicker points. food, etc ...
  • the use of a bottle equipped with such a teat is facilitated by providing on the outer wall thereof signs of identification, generally formed by ribs the number of increases with flow (most often from 1 to 3).
  • the present invention mainly intends to remedy, which consists essentially in interposing, between the teat and the assembly ring, an intermediate sleeve which is made angularly integral with the teat while being free to rotate relative to the ring to allow easy orientation of said teat before the complete screwing of the ring.
  • the intermediate sleeve can be constituted by an autonomous part, completely independent of the assembly ring.
  • the sleeve is made integral, for example by simple snap-fastening elastic of conjugate parts, of the ring while remaining free to rotate along its axis relative to the latter.
  • the annular base of the sleeve which is turned in the direction of the collar of the nipple is made to comprise an own annular projection, when the ring is screwed, to bear against the abovementioned collar, a part is thus pushed back inside a radial air inlet channel made for this purpose in the end edge of the container neck. It is thus possible to measure very precisely the flow rate of air entering the container.
  • the angular connection of the teat and the socket can be very simply obtained by providing, on the outer wall of the first and on the inner wall of the second, a system of ribs and combined housings. It will be observed on this point that the ribs are likely to be formed by the marks usually provided on teats with adjustable flow rate.
  • reference 1 designates a container with a bent profile of known type
  • reference 2 a teat with adjustable flow rate
  • reference 3 the assembly formed by an assembly ring and an intermediate sleeve.
  • the open neck 10 of the container 1 has a thread in order to cooperate with the assembly ring of the element 3. It will be noted that according to an advantageous arrangement of the invention which will be discussed later, the end face the neck 10 is hollowed out radially by at least one depression or channel 11, while the outer wall of the container has, immediately below said neck 10, a projecting reference 12.
  • the nipple 2 is of the conventional type and therefore has, opposite its nipple 20 cut out from an opening 21 profiled to provide an adjustable flow rate, a flange 22 above which three groups of longitudinal ribs are provided. 23 forming markers for adjusting the flow rate.
  • the element 3 firstly comprises a ring 30 internally threaded at 31 to be screwed onto the neck 10.
  • the cylindrical skirt of this ring 30 ends upwards by an annular transverse disc 32, but it has on its inner wall a projection 33 with an annular profile.
  • the outer wall of the ring has a relief 34, capable of forming a reference, as will be explained below.
  • annular relief 37 is provided, and that the internal wall of the sleeve is hollowed out with longitudinal housings 38 profiled to receive with reduced clearance the reference ribs 23 of the teat 2 ; at each housing 38, the outer wall of the sleeve has a projecting part 39 which reproduces one of the groups of ribs 23, in order to form a reference itself.
  • the nipple 2 is capable of being engaged axially in the opening of the socket 35 and that by means of a suitable reciprocal orientation of the two elements 2 and 3, the ribs 23 are capable of being introduced into the housings 38.
  • the teat 2 is thus made angularly integral with socket 35.
  • the pins 12 and 34 are positioned in such a way that they are arranged in coincidence when the ring 30 is completely screwed onto the neck 10.
  • the teat 2 is angularly blocked with the sleeve 35 as a result of the action tightening exerted by the projection 37 on the flange 22; the pressure thus exerted forces the part of the flange 22 which is opposite the channel 11 to deform in order to partially penetrate said channel, so that when the two ribs or marks 12 and 34 have been brought into coincidence , the user is certain that the flow rate of air entering the container 1 will be correct.
  • the adjustment of the air inlet flow is so precise that it is capable of supplementing or even replacing the adjustment of the supply flow obtained by the orientation of the opening 21 of the nipple 20 in the mouth of the infant, which obviously facilitates the use of the bottle since it suffices for the user to stop the screwing of the ring 30 a little before or a little after the two pins 12 and 34 are in perfect coincidence.
  • the bottle is thus considerably simplified, without requiring tedious learning. It goes without saying that the bottle can be fitted with a usual cover, of the type illustrated in 4 in fig. 3.
