Abstract

The invention is a seat device equipped with a handle for positioning an infant and feeding him independently using a bottle with adjustable pendulum movement. The device is suitable for premature and newborn babies. For its implementation, the device comprises, Figure 1 board l, a seat E, a handle or bracket A, a hanger or link C, an elastic ring B, an elastic ring D. The hanger C is held on the handle Using the elastic ring B, a bottle of good cross-section is threaded into the elastic loop D. The height and the inclination of the bottle are given by a rotation of the elastic ring B and a winding of the hanger C around handle A. Suction is helped by the pendulum movement of the bottle which produces a self-stimulation effect, at the end of setting the release of the bottle is automatic, the initially twisted hanger takes place flat and produces a rotation of the bottle at 120.degree. from its original position. In addition to a very significant improvement in the quantities assimilated to each intake, the invention allows a single person to safely feed more than five infants simultaneously. The device also allows people whose disability or drowsiness does not allow the carrying of infants in the arms, to safely feed a newborn.

Description

DESCRIPTIVE MEMORY
Technical field of the invention The invention is intended for childcare, for the autonomous feeding of infants, new born and premature babies.
Technical problems:
Traditionally the bottle is given to infants in the arms and requires several people when several infants simultaneously request their bottle, which is usually the case, out of eighteen daily bottles to give to twins around twelve bottles are to be given to the two infants simultaneously.
There are seven technical problems to be solved;
- Assist a single person to feed two or more infants.
- Improve bottle-feeding by reducing the stress of a bottle kept strong by hand, arm or mechanical support, insufficiently sensitive to movements of IS languages of the infant.
- Increase the feeding time to improve the assimilation of milks infant, minus good quality than breast milk.
- Eliminate the risk of infants falling from the arms of sleepy parents.
- Adapt a group 0 infant chair to maintain a newborn baby more than three kilos in an ideal position for the use of a pendulum bottle.
- Create a specific orthopedic chair to maintain a newborn two to three kilo in ideal position for the use of a pendulum bottle.
- Feed a premature baby as soon as he has acquired the reflex to suckle and him allow a better sucking of the pacifier.
State of the prior art Several inventions have produced bottle support systems for allows to suckle without the hand holding the bottle.
US invention 3,850,393 Marquard; Harold; intended for a penguin very solves partially the problem, impractical, however it allows a mother disabled to give a bottle in the arms, the rigidity of the system does not allow stimulation of Drunk infant by a back and forth movement of the bottle.
The inventions; n ° US5016845 I Pellegrino 5/1991 "Infant feeding assembly "and US $ 4890751 ROBERT L. IBIE "Baby bottle Holder and feeder" are approaches interesting for autonomous feeding of babies who are in the learning phase of maintains their bottle, these methods are an effective assistance to disabled parents as well as

2 those of twins or triplets who are more than 7 months old.
Too rigid, the system does not provide the pendulum technical solution to auto simulation effect, does not allow assisted withdrawal of the teat at the end of the dose.
The previous systems also do not allow the bottle to be turned over in position said safety at the end of the catch except the Pellegrino invention.
None of the solutions already mentioned and which has the advantages of the bottle pendNlary, don't allow the risk of falling infants.
Several multi-position "transat" armchair systems equipped with potenceg for y hanging toys or supporting equipment are offered, other designated chairs "group 0" multi-use safety equipment (primarily used in cars) and multi positions, have a multi-position carrying handle or handle, none of the handles of these armchairs are not suitable for the use of the pendulum bottle and do not include no position for the "pendulum feeder" function object of this invention.
IS Such a new function requires the modification of existing chairs or the creation of specific chairs to fulfill the pendulum feeder function.
Statement of the invention.
The invention is an armchair device for allowing an infant to take sound alone bottle in several intakes, not binding.
A single person can feed multiple infants simultaneously or premature.
The system is suitable for disabled or injured or sick people whose hapdicap or injuries do not allow to hold a baby in the arms, without risks of falls for the baby.
The assimilation yield ratio = dejection / liquid ingested and the measurements performed indicate an improvement in the quantities of milk drunk with each intake and a better assimilation or digestion compared to a diet in the arms.
Completely relaxed, the infant can concentrate on sucking only, speed up the grip or slow it down, without the disruptive movement of the arms or hand, without constraint a breastfeeding revival.
Studies carried out on several infants and in particular on premature babies have established that the noun-issons adapt to the system.
Although no accident related to the use of the invention has been revealed, and that only risk-limiting benefits has been successfully experienced it is essential that parents or caregivers stay close to infants for their carry

3 assistance and make them burp while taking.
Several prototypes and comparative tests establish that the best taken are those obtained with pendulum travel and an armchair as described above after.
The diagram in Figure 1 illustrates the invention:
After carefully placing the baby in a seat (E) which has a adapted handle and of good size for optimal positioning in a vertical position, fixed, properly stabilized, 1- strip C, otherwise known as single hanger, or ribbon, is laid by above handle A handle 2- With the other hand, while holding the ribbon C in position, the ring B
is clipped, nested or slid, above the ribbon C to keep it in place on the handle AT.
3. the ribbon C is turned half a turn and the bottle is threaded by its back in the ring D of the ribbon, up to approximately half of the bottle.

4 - ring B and ribbon C are pushed together until the bjberon is present opposite the baby's mouth F.

5 - the ring B is turned anticlockwise, to refine the position of I "together as shown in Figure 2.
~ 6 - the bottle thus fitted must be turned in the loop D until obtaining the good nipple position (1-2 -3) for a suitable flow. After verification of use that the milk is not too hot and it does not come out by jet but to taste taste, 7 - the bottle is placed in the baby's mouth F, being certain that the pacifier is at above the tongue.
~ 8 - When the baby releases the bottle, it means that he must make a rot, that he finished drink or have gastric difficulty. The bottle normally leaves alone I ~ mouth on a tongue or head movement, the seat handle must be folded down , the baby detached is gently worn against the shoulder to escape burping.

~ 9 - If the baby has not finished his bottle, it must be replaced in the seat and to proceed to again as explained above.
An optimal result described in figure 2 and 3 is obtained according to the dimensions data with a angle a between 35 ° and 45 °, W between 20 cm and 25 cm , and, X understood between 50 and 60 cm.
These measurements reproduced on the chair described in FIG 4 give a good result.
with another type armchair with a longer seat.
The chair described in Figure 10 is particularly suitable for premature babies and noqrrissons, the optimal location and dimensions of the handle are identical to those already described by compared to the baby's mouth.
This molded chair has a ballast (R) which keeps it in the raised position and has a morphological seat (Q) to support the infant under the arms and the crotch.
Figure 8, the handle of the chair is hollow and fits into a foot for the raise from the ground.
Figure 9 the support bracket for the pendulum bottle is placed on a tripod (S) slipped under a pediatric cradle (O).
In this feeding position, the infant's mattress should be raised.
Figure 5, one of the lines is a braided nylon strip, measuring 0.35 rr ~
long, the ring (about 0.05 m in diameter) intended to receive the bottle must be slightly nested in force on the bottle, its cord shape facilitated the introduction of the bottle, the cord ring and band C are held together sewn.
Another hanger figure 5 is also a braided nylon band, the ring It is then formed in the same band, the ends of which are simply crimped bottle size and the gallows.
Figure 6, the hanger G has an elastic cord ring, the H line has adjustable ends, the line I is a braided nylon band, one end is sewn to form a loop around the bottle to be supported, the other east end simply kept "clipped" by ring B.
Figure 7 Several types of rings (B) for holding the lines on the handle of the armchair are described, only the shape of the ring (B) designated (K) on a section handle cylindrical allows the height of the bottle to be adjusted by simply rotating the ring and winding of the hanger around its edge.

For all lines, lateral positioning of the bottle according to the location of the head of the infant is obtained by sliding the ring and the hanging on the handle or armchair gallows.
5 Figure 7 the hook and loop strap is simply held by a ring elastic which the covers.
Another hanger, includes in addition to the hanging ring of the D bottle, a element centra rigid of two sliding tubes fitted with a return spring whose effect is to make it turn the 120 ° bottle in the so-called safety position.
May be practical and too expensive, the solution remains effective.
Of all the solutions illustrated, the most suitable for infants is the one who uses the flexible nylon hanger and the ring described in figure 5.
The vertical position of the handle, handle or bracket of the safety chair group 0 must be refined to allow blocking in the new so-called position nurturer. The new feeder position of the handle can be combined with the position of the transport function of seat, in this case the center of gravity of the chair should be slightly modified when infant is kept in the optimal position for drinking his bottle.
The new nourishing function of the handle of automobile armchairs group 0 done part of the invention for the use of a pendulum bottle.
