Description

Be used for disposable support of feeding food in one's mouth system

The present invention relates to the disposable food in one's mouth system of feeding, particularly relate to the support that is used for this system, this system mainly is that those for example suitable babies make bright system.

Mainly due to need be to the inconvenience that traditional reusable suckling feeding bottle (the suckling feeding bottle that promptly has a bottle that directly contacts with milk or some other liquid nutrition products) cleans and/or sterilization is brought, therefore baby hello food in one's mouth system has developed into to use and had sterilized and disposable bushing pipe, and this bushing pipe movably supports (seeing for example United States Patent (USP) 3762542) by it in a tubular support.After feeding the end of food in one's mouth phase, the lining pipe of use is dismantled from support and is replaced by a new bushing pipe.Because milk or other liquid nutrition product never contact with support itself, before reusing support, do not need like this support is cleaned and/or sterilization.Therefore, in current mobile society since be not easy to obtain to clean and/or the car of disinfection apparatus on or usually must feed in other place and to feed the baby, bushing pipe type or disposable type baby hello food in one's mouth system becomes all the fashion like this.

In these several years, the baby feeds food in one's mouth field and has realized that and developed and manyly be applicable to that usually the baby feeds the additional characteristics easily of food in one's mouth system.For example, people's door has realized that the baby should put hello the food in one's mouth (seeing that for example United States Patent (USP) 3145867) at upright or semierect position for a long time.U.S.'s pediatrics thing can propose the baby in fact and put hello the food in one's mouth at semierect position.The aforementioned U.S. concentrates one's efforts and 3145867 discloses a kind of baby bottle, and it has dihedral or crooked rigidity bottle, and this helps to put to feed at ideal upright or semierect position to feed the baby.It is suitably in place with respect to user and baby to guarantee feeding bottle that this patent recognizes that also wherein disclosed baby bottle can be equipped with handle.Yet this dihedral or crooked baby bottle are not to be applicable to bushing pipe type hello food in one's mouth system, because they do not comprise the device that air is extruded in the bushing pipe of following, hand hole for example, this is very common (for example referring to aforesaid U.S. Patent 3762542) concerning the bushing pipe type is fed food in one's mouth system.

In the past, people make an effort to be provided and can arrange in substantial linear or straight position, the bushing pipe type that bends to a dihedral position is then fed food in one's mouth system, this straight position is convenient to insert and/or fill the bushing pipe of following, and this dihedral position helps to put to feed at ideal upright or semierect position to feed baby (for example referring to United States Patent (USP) 4813556 and British patent gazette 2109247A).By understanding at present, these effort relate to the use bellows obtaining required flexibility, thereby make the bending between above-mentioned two positions of feeding bottle or support.Yet, use bellows that several adverse factors are arranged.At first because feeding bottle and use the inner surface of support of feeding bottle and outer surface on produce some cracks and concertina Zhe, so the cleaning of feeding bottle and support is very complicated.Secondly, bellows can't provide above-mentioned handle, and this handle design becomes to guarantee that feeding bottle and support are suitably in place with respect to user and baby.The 3rd, when the support of feeding food in one's mouth system in conjunction with a bushing pipe type used, bellows had the potential fulcrum of a bushing pipe.At last, but non-least important, the bellows plane as seen, therefore, the whole aesthetic appearance that this diminishes feeding bottle or uses the support of feeding bottle.

Under afore-mentioned, an object of the present invention is to provide a kind of disposable food in one's mouth system of feeding, this system combines the convenient characteristics of traditional disposable hello food in one's mouth system and proves other favourable characteristics in this area, for example helps user to put to feed at semierect position and feeds the baby and feeding the ability of extruding air in the food in one's mouth process from system.Another purpose provides a kind of people of the present invention (for example nurse) utilization human engineering hello food in one's mouth that helps to use.By following description these and other objects of the present invention will be more obvious.

The present invention can solve the problem and the shortcoming of above-mentioned prior art, the present invention relates to a kind of support of feeding food in one's mouth system that is used for a shape use of novel improved.Briefly, support comprises one first rigid bodies part with a longitudinal axis and pair of openings end, and one second rigid bodies part with a longitudinal axis and pair of openings end.Main part connects with end-to-end form, so that first rigid bodies part and second rigid bodies part can relatively move between a primary importance and a second position, mutually coaxial basically and point-blank at the primary importance longitudinal axis, not coaxial mutually basically and not point-blank at the second position longitudinal axis, it interconnects end and is opposite joining relation mutually in the second position.In primary importance, support is straight basically so that insert and/or fill a detachable bushing pipe.In the second position, support bends to and helps to put the degree of feeding the baby of feeding at semierect position.Provide the location so that dismountablely remain on support arbitrary or two positions.

In one embodiment, the main part buckle is installed together, and its interconnect end slidably with rotating interlock so that make support from straight, or stand up position is transformed into bending or dihedral position quickly and easily, vice versa.It is useful using the buckle mount type to connect, because it can be hidden in the sight line of user, therefore can not diminish the whole aesthetic appearance of support.Do not take too many space because the buckle mount type connects, this allows support two main parts hand hole and finger grip or guiding area to be set.It also provides a preferred interlock, thereby makes support be positioned at half position of feeding the food in one's mouth that uprightly hello food in one's mouth position can be natural that makes the baby in proposition, so hello food in one's mouth baby's people can operate in the tram of utilization human engineering.

In another embodiment, the connection that can rotate mutually of main part or be rigidly connected.Can realize being rotatably connected by for example live strand or a ball-and-socket type joint.When main part connects with rigid manner or by the strand of living, to compare with the two-part body of other embodiment, they form a single-piece or whole support.
