Definitions

  • the invention relates to a ventilation device for a drinking bottle according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • a disadvantage of the known device is that the air-guiding pressure equalization path is formed as an angled tube with a constant narrow cross section, which tends very easily to the closure when the drinking liquids tend in the bottle for bonding. In such a case, the intended ventilation function of the bottle is impaired or disabled.
  • valve slot of the valve body tends to stick and thus adversely affect the ventilation function of the bottle. This also applies to many other protective applications which are not mentioned, in which the operating principle of the valve slot is used as membrane function.
  • the non-simple hygienic cleaning is considered in the above-mentioned device, and the risk that assumes that the relatively small valve hollow body, as an additional part, can be swallowed in small form by infants.
  • US 2006/0213859 A1 is also a device for pressure equalization of a bottle during sucking known.
  • a disadvantage of this device mentioned above is also the difficult hygienic cleaning of many items and the high production cost of the device.
  • the invention has the object of developing the generic device such that the mentioned disadvantages are resolved and a slight suction from the bottle while avoiding leaks during suction are possible. In addition, a simple and safe hygienic cleaning of their items should be achieved.
  • a device for pressure equalization in a bottle is specified, which allows a smooth suction while avoiding leaks.
  • the device is further characterized by a very small number of simply designed components, resulting in further cost savings and a simple and reliable operation.
  • the device according to the invention allows hygienic maintenance and protects infants from improper use of the items. Due to the special design of the parts, a cost-saving design and a simple and safe operation of the device is achieved.
  • the embodiment according to claim 6 and 8 allows hygienic maintenance and protects infants from injury and improper use of the items.
  • a drinking bottle 1 according to Fig. 1 consisting of a container 2 with external thread 28 for receiving a drinking liquid 3, is screwed together with a sucker 4 and a ventilation device 5 via a threaded ring 8 with internal thread 29 to form a functional unit.
  • an air-permeable free gap 30 which is required as a thread flank clearance to the screw ring 8 easily, without jamming, with the container 2 to screw.
  • the ventilation device 5 see Fig. 1 , is made of two parts, a ventilation disc 6, Fig. 2 and Fig. 3 and a ventilation pipe 7 assembled into one unit. For cleaning purposes, this unit is easily dismantled into its components.
  • the ventilation disc 6 lies with a first end face on the edge of the opening of the container 2 sealingly. Its first end face opposite the second end face 12 is sealingly engaged with a terminal surface 18 formed by a flange (20) of the nipple 4.
  • a ventilation tube 7 is inserted under slight tension, so that it is frictionally defined therein.
  • venting of the container 2 extends via the ventilation tube 7, the connecting bore 14, the ventilation channel 13 and the free gap 30 at the threaded connection 9 to the outside 27th
  • the toughened compared to the compensating air drinking liquid 3 via the vent pipe 7, because of the strong throttling on the connecting hole executed as a pitot tube 14 via the ventilation duct 13 and the free gap 30 of the threaded connection 9 does not reach the outside 27, so that leakage of drinking liquid 3 via avoid this way.
  • the ventilation disc 6 see Fig. 1 . Fig. 2 and Fig. 3 , an opening 15, which allows an unhindered passage of the drinking liquid 3 from the container 2 into the inner vacuum chamber 16.
  • FIG. 1 and Fig. 2 is formed as a triangular surface 19.
  • this pointed configuration of the triangular surface 19 is achieved that when screwing the container 2 with the screw ring 8 of the closed sealing web 17 of the ventilation disc 6 penetrates without great effort in the Saugerflansch 20 and with a high degree of leakage of the drinking liquid 3 from the container 2 on the Ventilation duct 13 and the gap 30 of the threaded connection 9 prevented to the outside. This ensures suction without leaks.
  • the upper end surface 21 of the ventilation pipe 7, see Fig. 1 Runs to the tube surface at an oblique angle, whereby an easier installation of the ventilation tube 7 in the bore 10a of the ventilation disc 6 and a secure equalizing air supply of the container 2 is achieved. So that no confusion occurs during assembly, the lower end surface 22 of the ventilation tube 7 is also designed with an oblique surface course.
  • the working method is as follows:
  • Fig. 1 shows the bottle 1 at rest. In this position, the liquid level in the container 2 and the ventilation pipe 7 is the same height. As soon as the drinking bottle is brought from the rest position into an oblique drinking position with the teat 4 directed downwards, liquid from the suction hole 23 drips outward drop by drop 27. An additional suction further supports this liquid outlet. In this position, the free space 11 moves above the drinking liquid 3 in the space region 26 to the container bottom 25, in which after leaving the first liquid drops from the suction hole 23, a negative pressure is created.
  • Another variant of use with negative pressure compensation is a drinking bottle 1, in which only the ventilation disc 6, without the vent tube 7, is used.
  • the air balancing bubbles pass through the drinking liquid 3.
  • FIG. 6 A further embodiment without ventilation pipe 7 is in Fig. 6 shown, which is characterized by a cost-effective production and easy handling.
  • FIG. 7 illustrated second embodiment of the first portion of the pressure equalization path forming ventilation duct 13 is the same as in the in the FIGS. 1 to 6 illustrated embodiments in the ventilation disc 6a formed such that it has the shape of a second end face 35 toward open channel, which is closed by the second end face 35 tightly adjacent end face of the Saugerflansches 20a.
  • a projecting annular bead 33 is formed, whose cross-section increases toward the free edge of the annular bead 33 out.
  • This annular bead 33 is latched due to the elastic deformability of the nipple 4a in a complementary to the annular bead 33 annular groove 34 of the ventilation disc 6a.
  • the sucker 4b and the ventilation disc are formed as an integral part of the Saugerflansches 20b.
  • the actual vacuum cleaner 4a can be molded directly onto the ventilation disc.
  • the latter can for example consist of a hard plastic, whereas the sucker 4a made of a softer material, such as silicone.
  • the ventilation disc and the nipple could be glued together. In all these cases they then form the in Fig. 8 illustrated unitary Saugerflansch 20b, in the interior of the first portion 13a and the adjoining second portion 14, 14a of the pressure equalization path are formed.
