Abstract
Description
- This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 61/347,726 filed on May 24, 2010, which is incorporated by reference herein.
- 1. Field of the Disclosure
- The present disclosure relates generally to a cup and a lid with a straw for teaching an infant to drink using the straw. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to compressible or squeezable cup that is compressed or squeezed to force liquid through the straw to teach an infant how to drink from the straw.
- 2. Description of Related Art
- Child feeding experts have noted that drinking from a straw at early ages promotes mature mouth movements that traditional spouted cups do not offer. Approximately 25 percent of the infants transitioning from bottles having nipples or spouts do not know how to drink using a straw.
- Available cups that have straws and lids do not take advantage of cup geometry to train infants to drink from straws. Many cups are non-squeezable even if the cups have a lid with a straw. Such cups force the infant to apply a suction force to the straw to draw the fluid through the straw. However, the infant has no experience in such mouth movement that provides the suction force because the infant's experience is largely limited to drinking from a nipple or spout. In contrast, cups that are flexible and very easy for an infant to squeeze cause liquid to rapidly eject from such cups and straws in an uncontrolled fashion, thereby creating unwanted spillage.
- Accordingly, there is a need for a squeezable cup that is geometrically structured to permit a caregiver to squeeze the cup and to prevent an infant from squeezing such cup. A cup squeezable by only the caregiver will enable the caregiver to train the infant to use the straw in a controlled and clean fashion and aid the infant in learning and mastering the sucking motion of the mouth from a straw.
- The present disclosure provides for a cup that is shaped such that it prevents an infant from effectively squeezing the cup and permits a caregiver to effectively squeeze the cup to train such infant to drink from a straw in the cups.
- A cup assembly including a cup having a pair of opposed curved sides that are each a deflectable side of the cup. The cup assembly further requires a lid releasably connected to the cup; and a straw operatively connected to the cup to transport fluids from the cup to a user.
- A cup assembly including a cup having a pair of opposed curved sides, each of the pair of opposed curved sides is a deflectable side, a lid releasably connected to the cup, and a straw operatively associated with the cup to transport fluids from said cup to a user, is provided. The cup assembly has two opposed convex sides; and a zone of compression on each of the convex sides is provided. The zone of compression on one convex sides is deflectable towards a zone of deflection on the other convex side to permit the cup to be compressed.

FIG. 6 illustrates a front view of the cup ofFIG. 1 . - Referring to the drawings and, in particular, to
FIG. 1 , there is illustrated a cup assembly generally represented byreference numeral 10.Cup assembly 10 includes acup 15 that is releasably connected, preferably by threaded engagement, to alid 20 having astraw 25.Cup 10 is shown in an opened position withstraw 25 extending in a vertical position fromlid 20 to provide access to fluid incup 15. In a closed position,straw 25 would be hidden from view and folded intochannel 30. While the configuration ofFIG. 1 is shown withlid 20 having a slidingmember 35 to closelid 20, other configurations of alid 20 may be used provided there is astraw 25 operably connected tolid 20. - Referring to
FIGS. 2 and 3 ,cup 15 has atop portion 40 and acylindrical flange 45 that extends formtop portion 40.Cylindrical flange 45 hasthreads 50 molded thereto to receivelid 20.Lid 20 hasinternal threads 55 that are configured to mate withthreads 50 ofcylindrical flange 45 in a sealing relationship to prevent fluids from being released fromcup assembly 10. - Referring to
FIG. 3 (shown without straw 25) andFIG. 4 ,lid 20 has twoopposed arms 60 that an infant holds when drinking fromcup assembly 10.Lid 20 also has acentral ridge 65 that receivesstraw 25 and a slidingmember 35. Slidingmember 35 slides intracks 70 disposed on opposite sides ofcentral ridge 65. Slidingmember 35 is able to slide alongcentral ridge 65 to provide and prevent access to contents ofcup 15 by exposing or coveringstraw 25. In the position shown inFIG. 4 ,straw 25 is exposed and in a vertical position not covered by slidingmember 35. Whencup assembly 10 is not in use, slidingmember 35 is moved overstraw 25, thereby forcing straw intochannel 30 incentral ridge 65. - Referring to
FIG. 5 andFIG. 6 ,cup 15 has a front curved side or convexside 75 and a rear curved side or convexside 80.Cup 15 has a lateralcurved side 85 and an opposite lateralcurved side 90. Each of the pair of opposedcurved sides cup 15 with a four-sided geometry.Cup 15 has two inverted U-shaped surfaces or lines ofdemarcation curved side 75 andlateral sides curved side 80 andlateral sides demarcation curved side 75, rearcurved side 80,lateral side 85 andlateral side 90. Alternatively, lines of demarcation may be an edge where frontcurved side 75 andlateral sides curved side curved side 75 and rearcurved side 80 each has a zone ofcompression 105. - In use, when front
rear side 75 and rearcurved side 80 are depressed atzone 105, frontcurved side 75 and rearcurved side 80 are brought closer and fluid is ejected from straw. The compressive force required to deflect frontcurved side 75 and rearcurved side 80 to bring zones ofcompression 105 closer together and create a positive pressure incup 15 is preferably from 7 lb-f to 13 lb-f. An infant would not be able to compresscup 15 with that required force. However, a caregiver could easily compress cup with such a force and teach infant to use suction withstraw 25 and draw fluid fromcup assembly 10. Zone ofcompression 105 can be highlighted with a particular color or shape on surface ofcup 15. - The convex configuration of front
curved side 75 and rearcurved side 80 that are shortened by lines ofdemarcation cup 15 to eject fluid. Werecup 15 of a cylindrical shape, the force required to compress the cup and eject fluid would be higher because cylindrical shapes distribute force across the surface and actually prevent compression. The force required to compress a cylindrical cup would be substantially greater than the 7 lb-f to 13 lb-f curvedfront side 75 and rearcurved side 80. Were a force higher than 13 lb-f required to eject fluid and train infant, caregiver may experience a loss of control and ejected excessive amounts of fluid when pressing zones ofcompression 105. - Referring to
FIGS. 5 and 6 , frontcurved side 75 and rearcurved side 80, each has acenter line Center line 120 lies along inclined frontcurved side 75 atcup 15 and traverses zone ofcompression 105. Similarly,center line 125 lies along inclined rearcurved side 80 and traverses zone ofcompression 105. Lower surface ofcup 110 lies in aplane 115.Lines cup 110. This range of angles enablessides compression 105 with ease due to their slight curvature. Zones ofcompression 105 are shown as being circular, however, they could have a different shape. Further,zones 105 may have a textured surface to enhance the gripping effect for the caregiver. - Further,
cup 15 is preferably made from polypropylene, although other materials could also be used. The wall thickness or thickness between inside and outside ofcup 15 atzones 105 on frontcurved side 75 and rearcurved side 80 is preferably between 0.02 inches and 0.045 inches. Table 1 shows a range of acceptable wall thicknesses and the forces required to compress cup at zone ofcompression 105 of frontcurved side 75 and rearcurved side 80. The thickness of zones ofcompression 105 will provide the required stiffness of the cup to resist the compressive force of an infant, yet the flexibility to permit deflection by a caregiver. The inclination of frontcurved side 75 and rearcurved side 80, together with the thickness of cup at zones ofcompression 105, enables caregiver to provide a controlled compression or squeezing motion ofcup 15. The controlled squeezing motion permits simple training of an infant as they learn to suction fluid fromcup 15 throughstraw 25. -
