Abstract

The feeding bottle basically comprises two units, one being the actual container body and the other the teat which may in turn comprise an end teat body (2) and a collar (3) couplable to the mouth of the body (1) to achieve an impervious fixing and sealing of the teat (2) to the mouth of the body (1) of the feeding bottle. Coupling between the collar (3) and the body (1) takes place by means of a perimetric rib (5) provided on the bottom inner edge of the perimetric sleeve (4) of the collar (3) which is locked, upon being axially displaced, on the bottom edge of a deformable wing or sheets (6) provided divergently on the side surface of the body (1) of the feeding bottle, and therefore when the collar and body of the feeding bottle are coupled, uncoupling cannot be achieved, and hence the feeding bottle cannot be reused. The unit stands as a feeding bottle to be used once only for it must be disposed of upon its first and only use because it cannot be newly opened. *

nISPOSABLE FEEDING BOTTLE

S P E C I F I C ~ T I O N

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 10 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 15 which hygienic conditions are enhanced with respect to conventional feeding bottles.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

A type of feeding bottle cullelllly 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 ha~l germs, if any, will not be elimin~ted, and thus hygienic conditions leave much to be desired.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The feeding bottle subject hereof is a disposable or single-use feeding bottle devised to solve the drawbacks aforesaid, for the feeding , , CA 02210297 1997-07-11 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 bot~e 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.

Coupling between the teat and the container or, in feeding bottles comprising three bodies, between the collar and the body of the feeding bottle, takes place by grooving and tonguing or by any other conventional means, including screwing, provided that whatever sealing system is used does not allow the two essential elements or constituents, namely the collar and the body, to be later uncoupled, unless they are duly broken.
Consequently, coupling must be such as to ensure that once the feeding bottle has been used, it must needs be disposed of, for it can by no means be newly opened, unless it is broken as aforesaid.

One way of providing the seal can be by using deformable sheets projecting laterally and diver~lllly 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 thelerore the teat.

There is no doubt that the collar may be rigid and said deformable sheets elastic, or vice versa, so that in either case coupling or sealing may be supplemente.l with a perimetric wing preventing the seal proper from being tampered with.

, , CA 02210297 1997-07-11 DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

In order to provide a fuller description and contribute to the complete understanding of the characteristics of this i~lv~ ion, a set of 5 drawings is attached to the specification which, while purely illustrative and not fully comprehensive, shows the following:

Figure 1.- Is a side elevation sectional view along a vertical plane of the disposable feeding bottle subject of the invention, with the unit 10 made up of the coupling collar and the respective teat uncoupled with respect to the body of the feeding bottle, albeit facing each other before taking up the coupled or sealed position.

Figure 2.- Is a close view of an alternative manner of coupling the 15 teat fixing collar to the body of the feeding bottle.

Figure 3.- Is a di~el~;nl embodiment of the feeding bottle, made of two parts, namely the teat and container, both of which parts are provided with the ret~ining and leak-proof sealing device of the feeding bottle.
PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

With reference to figures 1 and 2 above, the feeding bottle of the invention comprises three bodies in this embodiment, namely a first body 25 (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 ~t upon sealing taking place.

The collar (3) has a perimetric sleeve (4) through which coupling 30 or fixing actually takes place, which sleeve (4) is provided with a bottom inner ci~cu~ele~lial rib (5), whereas the side surface of the mouth of the body (1 ) of the feeding bottle has a di~/~L~,elll, deformable wing or wing sections (6) that will in a sheet-like manner define the collar re~ lg means (4) when the collar is coupled by axial displacement over the 35 mouth ofthe container body (1) and the bottom inner rib (5) of the collar , ~ CA 02210297 1997-07-11 extends beyond the bottom edge ofthe said sheets or perimetric wing (6) of the mouth of the body (1).

Since the teat (2) extends into a perimetric wing (7) lying beneath 5 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 f1xed, 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 10 feeding bottle is broken.

The coupling system may evidently be any other, provided that when the same is made, it is absolutely impossible to newly uncouple the same. Thus, figure 2 shows how coupling between a feeding bottle body 15 (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.

Furthermore, 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) ~li~e~ g 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 ofthe teat being pressed between both bodies, thereby to increase its imperviousness, whereas the body of the feeding bot~e (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 m~ml~l seal, avoiding contact with the end or perimetric edge , . , CA 02210297 1997-07-11 of the wing (7) of the teat (2), thereby en~llnn~ 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.
s As was also explained hereinbefore, 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 10 bottle (1) deformable, or vice versa.

Figure 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 15 portion (12) that correspond with similar portions provided on the neck ofthe container (1). The first ofthese portions, to wit the threaded portion (11-13), 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 20 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. If an allell~l is made at forcing the system, the bodies 1 1 and 12 are joined by a recessed connecting portion (15) which will be severed, if forced, rendering the teat useless.
This same e~ect can be achieved with an endless thread (11) in which, aflcer the thread has been penetrated, the same leads to a position in which the teat turns idly and cannot be newly inserted in the thread body, thereby preventing the teat from being removed.

Claims (9)

1.- A disposable feeding bottle, which comprises the essential components of a conventional feeding bottle, namely the body (1) of the feeding bottle, the teat (2), which may both be joined or not by a collar (3) that fixes the teat, by coupling the collar over the mouth of the body (1) of the feeding bottle, essentially characterised in that the coupling means (5) and (6) provided on the collar (3) and the mouth of the body (1) of the feeding bottle, comprise elements or parts which on being interconnected prevent their being uncoupled unless the components are broken.
2.- A disposable feeding bottle, as in claim 1, characterised in that the coupling means (5) and (6) comprise an inner annular rib provided on the bottom edge of a sleeve (4) with which the collar (3) fixing the teat (2) is purposely provided, and a deformable wing or sheets projecting downwards and divergently from the side surface of the mouth of the body (1) of the feeding bottle, the rib (5) being locked under the bottom edge of the deformable wing or sheets (6), once the rib (5) has extended beyond the bottom edge of the diverging wing (6).
3.- A disposable feeding bottle, as in the preceding claims, characterised in that the collar (3) fixing the teat (2) has a horizontal annular surface that overlies an inner perimetric wing (7) of the teat (2), the surface of both elements being manually pushed in order to couple the unit made up of the collar (3) and teat (2) over the mouth of the container body (1) of the feeding bottle.
4.- A disposable feeding bottle, as in the preceding claims, characterised in that an external wing (8) projected divergently upwards is provided beneath the coupling means of the body (1) of the feeding bottle to prevent the coupling made between the perimetric rib (5) of the collar (3) and the perimetric wing or sheets (6) of the mouth of the body (1) of the feeding bottle from being tampered with.
5.- A disposable feeding bottle, as in claim 1, characterised in that the coupling means (5') of the collar and the body of the feeding bottle actually comprise respective snap-fitting complementary ribs which are complemented with an outer perimetric wing (8') that prevents such complementary coupling means (5') from being tampered with.
