ariner ,lano l 17 [54] BOTTLE HOLDER [22] Filed: May 18, 1970 [57] ABSTRAET Appl. No.: 37,984
A holder for an infant bottle adapted to be secured to the arms of an infant seat and the like comprising a length of resilient wire having a substantially U-shaped configuration with two substantially parallel leg portions and a central portion connecting the leg portions, the central portion including an expandable loop formed therein for holding an infant bottle, the loop comprising approximately one and one-half turns of the wire and being connected to the leg portions at substantially diametrically opposite points of the loop, the turns of the wire being spaced so as to provide a gripping contact of bottle over a substantial portion of the length thereof, and means for securing the holder to the arms of an infant seat.
2 Claims, 5 Drawing Figures ro'r'rrn HOLDER SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In my invention, I provide an expandable loop adapted to detachably engage an infants feeding bottle. A seat or chair for the infant has arms. Flexible elongated members connect the loop to individual devices secured to both arms.
When the infant is in the chair, the bottle is automatically positioned for feeding.
Should the infant choke on the milk or the like, he will instinctively push the bottle away, and when his throat is clear, he will relax. At this point, the bottle will be automatically returned to feeding position.
My invention prevents the baby from dropping the bottle, thus avoiding upset.
Infants like the spring action of my invention and will play with it, while obtaining good exercise. My loop can be plastic coated whereby infants can teeth on same without being able to drop the teething device on the floor or the like and thus require assistance.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS In the drawings:
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of my invention in use;
FIG. 2 is a side view showing my invention in various positions;
FIG. 3 is an enlarged detail view of a portion of my invention;
FIG. 4 is a detail view of the loop used in my invention in bottle holding position; and
FIG. 5 is a view similar to FIG. 4 but showing the loop in bottle loading position.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Referring now to FIGS. 1-5, an infant seat has arms 12. Secured to each arm is a clamp having a horizontal plate 14 with parallel oppositely disposed side vertical plates 16 held together by compression springs 18. A separate support mount 20 on each plate 14 contains one end of a corresponding plastic-coated flexible wire member 22. These members 22 extend upward and parallel and are somewhat curved. Opposite ends of these members are connected by an expandable loop 24 having an axis extending in a direction perpendicular to a plane containing both members 22.
Referring now to FIGS. 2, 4 and 5, loop 24 is seen to comprise approximately one and one half turns of wire, with the loop 24 being connected to the members 22 at substantially diametrically opposite points of the loop. Additionally, the turns of the wire are spaced so as to provide a gripping contact of the bottle 26 over a substantial portion of the length thereof. Further, the turns of the loop lie in intersecting planes and this construction of the loop 24 serves to provide good gripping of the bottle preventing its being removed from the loop by an infant. Additionally, a minimum amount of wire is necessary to form the holder of this invention, thus reducing the manufacturing costs thereof.
In use, the ends of members 22 adjacent the loop are squeezed together to open the loop. A bottle 26 can then be inserted into the open loop. The clamps can be removed or secured as desired and the opposite ends of members 22 can be inserted or removed from the mounts as desired. The bottle need then only be twisted or pulled as desired to adjust for proper position.
While I have described my invention with particular reference to the drawings, such is not to be considered as limiting its actual scope.
Having thus described this invention, what is asserted as new is:
l. A holder for an infant bottle adapted to be secured to the arms of an infant seat and the like:
a. a length of resilient wire having a substantially U-shaped configuration with two substantially parallel leg portions and a central portion connecting said le portions, b. said central portion including an expan able loop formed therein for holding an infant bottle,
c. said loop comprising approximately one and one half turns of said wire,
d. said loop being connected to said leg portions at substantially diametrically opposite points of said loop,
e. said turns of said wire being spaced so as to provide a gripping contact of a bottle over a substantial portion of the length thereof, and
f. means for securing said holder to the arms of an infant seat.
2. A holder as in claim 1 and wherein:
. approximately two halves of said one and one half turns of said wire lie substantially in intersecting planes.
