Definitions

  • the invention relates to a single-use and hence disposable feeding bottle made in such a way that once the respective collar fixing the teat over the respective mouth of the container or body of the feeding bottle is coupled, it cannot be opened unless it is broken.
  • the seal thus achieved upon the two essential bodies (collar and feeding bottle body) being coupled is leak-proof.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a feeding bottle with which hygienic conditions are enhanced with respect to conventional feeding bottles.
  • a type of feeding bottle currently exists which comprises a glass body, a teat and a bush screwed onto the mouth of the body mentioned in the first place, in order to fix the teat imperviously, thereby to prevent the liquid food contained in the feeding bottle from leaking when the baby has it.
  • a feeding bottle of this kind is evidently designed to be sterilised every time it is used, although what is usually done in practice is to more or less thoroughly wash all the parts of the feeding bottle, which means that harmful germs, if any, will not be eliminated, and thus hygienic conditions leave much to be desired.
  • the feeding bottle subject hereof is a disposable or single-use feeding bottle devised to solve the drawbacks aforesaid, for the feeding bottle cannot be opened once the teat and the container, or where feeding bottles comprise three parts, the collar holding the teat and the respective body of the feeding bottle, have been sealed or coupled.
  • Hygienic conditions are therefore obtained because the constituent elements, namely the teat and container, teat and collar on the one hand, and body of the feeding bottle on the other, are sold already sterilised and in an imperviously sealed bag, which means that the bag will be opened when the feeding bottle is to be used, and the teat is not even touched for only the collar will be handled, externally, to be coupled over the mouth of the container standing as the feeding bottle, once the latter is full of the respective liquid or food.
  • One way of providing the seal can be by using deformable sheets projecting laterally and divergently from the side surface of the mouth of the container body which, when an inner perimetric rib provided on the coupling collar extends beyond the same, upon the collar being axially displaced by pressure, make it impossible to newly remove said collar and therefore the teat.
  • the collar may be rigid and said deformable sheets elastic, or vice versa, so that in either case coupling or sealing may be supplemented with a perimetric wing preventing the seal proper from being tampered with.
  • the feeding bottle of the invention comprises three bodies in this embodiment, namely a first body (1), a second body or teat (2) and a collar (3) for fixing the teat over the very mouth of the body (1) of the feeding bottle, thereby for such fixing to bring about a leak-proof fit upon sealing taking place.
  • the collar (3) has a perimetric sleeve (4) through which coupling or fixing actually takes place, which sleeve (4) is provided with a bottom inner circumferential rib (5), whereas the side surface of the mouth of the body (1) of the feeding bottle has a divergent, deformable wing or wing sections (6) that will in a sheet-like manner define the collar retaining means (4) when the collar is coupled by axial displacement over the mouth of the container body (1) and the bottom inner rib (5) of the collar extends beyond the bottom edge of the said sheets or perimetric wing (6) of the mouth of the body (1).
  • the said teat (2) extends into a perimetric wing (7) lying beneath the top horizontal surface of the collar (3), when the collar is coupled over the mouth of the body (1), the said teat (2) can be imperviously fixed, the foregoing in order that because of the configuration of the aforesaid seal or coupling, once it is made, it may under no circumstances be uncoupled or opened unless the collar or the actual body (1) of the feeding bottle is broken.
  • FIG. 2 shows how coupling between a feeding bottle body (1') and the sleeve (4') of a collar takes place by means of respective complementary projections (5'), or in other words by a snap fit, although screwing might indeed be used, provided that the system used prevents a new opening.
  • the side surface of the container body (1) has been provided, beneath the coupling means, to have a wing (8) preventing the seal from being tampered with once it has been made, and figure 2 shows a wing (8') which prevents the complementary coupling ribs (5') provided on the body (1') of the feeding bottle and on the sleeve (4') of the teat fixing collar, from being tampered with.
  • the top surface of the collar (3) is provided close to its periphery with a perimetric rib (9) stiffening the collar (3) as such, which in actual fact defines a recess in which the free edge of the body of the feeding bottle is inserted, the wing of the teat being pressed between both bodies, thereby to increase its imperviousness, whereas the body of the feeding bottle (1) is provided close to its mouth with a concave deformation (10) which, together with the said top horizontal surface of the collar (3) and wing (7) of the teat (2), allows the required pressing to be made to provide a manual seal, avoiding contact with the end or perimetric edge of the wing (7) of the teat (2), thereby ensuring an absolute hygiene of the feeding bottle, since the latter will be sold sterilised in imperviously sealed bags that will be opened when the actual feeding bottle is to be used.
  • a perimetric rib 9 stiffening the collar (3) as such, which in actual fact defines a recess in which the free edge of the body of the feeding
  • both the coupling collar (3) and the body (1) of the feeding bottle can be made of suitable materials to achieve a perfect adaptation upon said parts being coupled, and thus either the collar (2) may be rigid and the mouth of the body of the feeding bottle (1) deformable, or vice versa.
  • FIG 3 shows an embodiment in which there are only two parts, the container or main body of the feeding bottle (1) and the teat (2).
  • the teat (2) is therefore provided with a threaded portion (11) and a retaining portion (12) that correspond with similar portions provided on the neck of the container (1).
  • the first of these portions serves to have the teat body penetrate the neck of the container, whereas the portion (12-14) corresponds with the irreversible sealing portion, which is designed to make it easier for both bodies to penetrate each other by means of the deformation of the rims (12) relative to the projections (14) and to have these bodies jam in the unscrewing operation to prevent removal.
  • the bodies 11 and 12 are joined by a recessed connecting portion (15) which will be severed, if forced, rendering the teat useless.
