Abstract
An infant feeding container is disclosed which attempts to imitate a human female breast in form and function. The container comprises a dome shaped member including a pliant outer surface. The dome shaped member substantially defines a volumetric space adequate to contain from four to eleven ounces of liquid and has the approximate form of a human female breast. The dome portion includes an upper crest and a lower skirt, the skirt portion being not less than seven centimeters in diameter at its outermost circumference.
A ducted nipple protrudes from the crest of the dome and a bottom closure is secured to the dome portion adjacent to the skirt portion.
Included are double and triple wall embodiments, a unique removable liner, optional means to couple the container to a conventional breast pump, an anti-vacuum feature, thermographic means to warn against overheated contents, and jackets in infant friendly materials.
A ducted nipple protrudes from the crest of the dome and a bottom closure is secured to the dome portion adjacent to the skirt portion.
Included are double and triple wall embodiments, a unique removable liner, optional means to couple the container to a conventional breast pump, an anti-vacuum feature, thermographic means to warn against overheated contents, and jackets in infant friendly materials.
Claims (20)
1. An infant feeding container where said container substantially imitates a human female breast in form and function, said container comprising a dome shaped member including a pliant outer surface, said dome shaped member substantially defining a volumetric space adequate to contain from four to eleven ounces of liquids, said dome shaped member having the approximate form of a human female breast including an upper crest portion and a lower skirt portion, said skirt portion being not less than seven centimeters in diameter at its outermost circumference, a ducted nipple protruding from said crest portion of said dome shaped member, and a bottom closure, said bottom closure including means to secure said bottom closure relative to said dome shaped member adjacent to said skirt portion, said bottom closure closing said volumetric space defined by said dome shaped member.
2. The infant feeding container of claim 1 wherein said dome shaped member comprises outer and inner dome shaped members, said outer dome shaped member having an interior surface and said inner dome shaped member having an exterior surface which substantially conforms to said interior surface.
3. The infant feeding container of claim 2, wherein said outer dome shaped member is fabricated of a soft material selected from a list including resilient foam, animal hide, natural and synthetic fibers, quilted down, and fleece.
4. The infant feeding container of claim 2, wherein said bottom closure means is integral with said inner dome shaped member.
5. The infant feeding container of claim 1, further including a removable fluid containment liner.
6. The infant feeding container of claim 1, wherein said lower skirt portion extends below said volumetric space to form annular gripping means.
7. The infant feeding container of claim 1, wherein said bottom closure includes means to engage said lower skirt portion and means to provide annular gripping means.
8. The infant feeding container of claim 2 further including a replaceable fluid contents liner which is received within said volumetric space.
9. The infant feeding container of claim 1, further including valvular means to reduce or eliminate vacuum conditions within said container.
10. The infant feeding container of claim 1, wherein said dome shaped member is composed of a thermoplastic, elastomer, thermoset rubber, silicone rubber, latex, resilient foam material, or other pliant material
11. The infant feeding container of claim 1 where said container further includes on its surface a temperature warning message and an opaque thermographic mask covering said warning message, said thermographic mask becoming transparent above the optimum safe serving temperature.
12. The infant feeding container of claim 1, wherein said base includes a graspable annular member which is more rigid than said dome shaped member and which forms a gripping means suitable for an infant's fingertips, said container further including means for securing said graspable member and said lower skirt portion of said dome shaped member to said base to provide a closed interior space for holding liquids.
13. The infant feeding container of claim 1, further including a cap which covers said ducted nipple and at least a portion of said dome shaped member.
14. The infant feeding container of claim 13, wherein said cap includes a surface which engages the outer circumference of said containerwhile simultaneouslyengaging said ducted nipple to close said nipple ducts.
15. The container of claim 1, wherein said crest portion includes an opening, said opening including annular engagement means, said nipple including corresponding annular engagement means to removeably retain said nipple in position relative to said crest portion.
16. The container of claim 1, including an opening therein sized to be directly coupled with a breast pump.
17. A removable fluid contents liner for use in a breast like infant feeding container, said feeding container having a volumetric space for liquid contents substantially defined by a dome shaped member, said dome shaped member including an annular opening at the crest of said dome shaped member, said liner including an integral nipple and means to engage said annular opening to keep said nipple in alliance with said dome shaped member during use.
18. The fluid contents liner of claim 17, wherein said means to engage said annular opening comprises a radial cam member contiguous with said nipple, said radial cam member being engaged with the circumference of said annular opening.
19. The fluid contents liner of claim 17, wherein said liner is latex, silicone rubber or other non-porous material suitable for food contact.
20. The fluid contents liner of claim 17, wherein said liner is retained at said annular opening by means of compression between said nipple and the wall of said annular opening.
