Description

All mothers of toddlers are familiar with the problem of an unsealable baby bottle brings with it. Either runs milk when transporting the baby drinking bottle, and usually in the mother's handbag, or the toddler is playing in a careless way Moment with the baby drinking bottle and spill the milk on his clothes, on the floor or spread it all over the apartment.

Also the one used today Plastic lid, which is placed on the standard baby drinking bottles will not remedy this, since it only protects against pollution protects the vacuum cleaner and no locking mechanism having. Moreover the plastic lid can run full of milk, and you stand up at the latest when removing the plastic cover again from the same problem.

fact is also that many mothers lose this plastic lid, don't have it with you or forget it aufzustecken. The preparation of milk powder is also problematic in a commercial Baby Bottle.

there it is usual, pour the milk powder into the baby drinking bottle and cook with Pouring water.

After that the threaded ring is screwed onto the baby drinking bottle with a teat and strong shaken.

Forgets one at the opening of the nipple between the fingers firmly pressed together milk when shaken in the whole room.

Thinks but the opening of the sucker firmly pressed together you can scald fingers and leaves additionally its bacteria and germs on the sucker.

The An adapter or module lock provides a remedy here, as it reliably fits in close with one hand and open leaves.

The Adapter or module lock is easy to clean because it is easily separate into two parts leaves, and thus also the special hygienic requirements of the baby or the toddler. Of course, he can also easily in a commercial sterilizer getting cleaned. Due to its adapter function, all commercially available Baby drinking bottles with the same thread diameter can be retrofitted.

Therefore there will be the adapter lock or lock module with different Give thread diameters.

Thereby results for the consumer the great Advantage, on special baby drinking bottles, special threaded rings and to be able to do without special suction cups. It goes without saying a complete range with its own baby drinking bottle as a module closure and give your own ring nut.

By its special design is inexpensive to manufacture and influences nor the function more commercially available Baby drinking bottles (ventilation while drinking).

In order to Fulfills the adapter or module lock meets all the requirements for the consumer and to be accepted by the market.

1st embodiment

Adapter pull lock or Closure drawing module

The adapter pull lock (AZV) or lock pull module (VZM) essentially consists of two parts (part 1 and part 2 ) which, when inserted into each other, represent the actual closure.

part 1 consists of a cylindrical hollow body with an external thread at the upper end ( 5 ) to the threaded ring ( 2 ) of the sucker ( 1 ) to be able to record.

There are four continuous cutouts on its cover ( 3 ) attached, which, when open, enable the milk from the baby drinking bottle to pass through the cutouts ( 3 ) to the vacuum cleaner ( 1 ) can reach.

On the underside of the cover jacket there is a plug in the middle ( 4 ) appropriate.

This plug ( 4 ) seals part when closed 1 of part 2 prevents the milk from the baby drinking bottle from reaching the teat ( 1 ) can reach. At the bottom of part 1 there are two latches in the middle ( 12 ), which are provided with recesses ( 10 ) are kept flexible on the right and left.

The snap tabs ( 12 ) are exactly opposite each other, and each have a handle at the lower end ( 9 ) on.

The handles ( 9 ) make it easier to disconnect part 1 and part 2 ,

In the middle of the snap-in tabs there is a continuous groove that acts as a running surface ( 11 ) referred to as.

The tread ( 11 ), consists of a guide part in the vertical direction and a locking part in the horizontal direction, which the locking hook ( 13 ) from the locking plug ( 6 ) can record.

In order to the closure is fixed in its "open" or "closing" position.

In the upper part of part 1 there is a handle ( 7 ) attached, which due to its elliptical design represents a drinking aid for the toddler.

Due to its elliptically shaped design with the cutouts ( 19 ) for the toddler's fingers and the elliptically shaped handle ( 7 ) with its protrusions on the right and left, the toddler can hold the baby bottle better with his fingers, fix it better and thus control it better.

At the same time, the handle ( 7 ) can be used as a push or pull aid for closing or opening the closure.

By its elliptical design is also the adapter or module lock immediately recognizable as such and distinctive.

On the inside of part 1 there is a match in the upper area ( 15 ), starting with the tolerance positions H / h.

The game fit ( 15 ) with this tolerance is at least required to part 1 of part 2 to seal, and at the same time the opportunity to have part 1 and part 2 to be able to move against each other.

Since there is a match ( 15 ) can only be realized cost-effectively with large quantities, the option for other common piston seals should also ( 17 ) in part 2 be maintained.

To belong among other things the sealing by means of an O-ring, elastic integrated Lip seal or simply an elastic rubber piston.

Since there are many options here, but other versions would go beyond the scope, I would like to simplify all the versions presented here as a match ( 15 ) represent.

part 2 consists of a cylindrical hollow body with an opening in the middle of its cover ( 14 )having.

This opening ( 14 ) has the negative form of the stopper ( 4 ) of part 1 and is closed when the plug is closed ( 4 ) closed by a press fit.

Part on the underside 2 an internal thread ( 8th ) to accommodate the external thread of a baby drinking bottle. Furthermore are on the lateral surface of part 2 two locking plugs ( 6 ) applied by the respective treads ( 11 ) of part 1 be included.

The locking plug ( 6 ) is in the tread ( 11 ) guided on the one hand in the vertical direction, on the other hand through the delimitation in the horizontal direction with the help of the locking clamps ( 13 ) pinched, and in the respective position "Open" or

"Close" recorded. In the upper part of part 2 is the piston ( 17 ) with clearance adjustment of the tolerance level H / h.

In interaction with the game fit ( 15 ) on the inside of part 1 can the piston ( 17 ) not only be moved up and down, but also seals the locking system.

Vorgeaensweise

The threaded ring ( 2 ) with sucker ( 1 ) a commercial baby drinking bottle is placed on the external thread ( 5 ) of part 1 screwed.

A commercially available baby drinking bottle with the same thread diameter is placed on the internal thread ( 8th ) of part 2 screwed.

part 1 becomes part 2 inserted, the excess length ( 16 ) and the shape of part 1 to the correct plug-on position 2 establish.

The snap-in tabs bend with slight pressure ( 12 ) of part 1 to the side and take the locking plug ( 6 ) of part 2 in its tread.

Since the snap-in tabs ( 12 ) a slant on the inside ( 18 ) and the locking plugs ( 6 ) are chamfered, the whole attachment process is made easier.

After attaching, there is a firm connection of part 1 to part 2 , the displacement of which is due to the design of the tread ( 11 ) to the locking plug ( 6 ) is specified in the vertical direction.

In the upper and lower end point of the tread ( 11 ) the respective position of the locking plug ( 6 ) with the help of the locking clamps ( 13 ) fixed to prevent unintentional "opening" and "closing to avoid eating.

To clean the adapter or module lock, it is sufficient to use the handles ( 9 ) to push apart the latching tab and the part at the same time 1 against the part 2 to postpone.

The snap-in plugs ( 6 ) from the treads ( 11 ) solved, and thus the connection of the parts to each other.

It This results in the advantage that the adapter or module lock can be disassembled into its two individual parts at any time for cleaning, and thus meets the special hygienic requirements of the toddler.

2nd embodiment

Adapter screw cap or Closure rotary module

The adapter twist lock (ADV) or twist lock module (VDM) essentially consists of two parts (part 1 and part 2 ), which as in the first embodiment, when inserted into one another, represent the actual closure.

The essential difference is that here to open and Conclude the baby drinking bottle is not a pulling or pushing movement, but one Rotational movement must take place.

part 1 consists of a cylindrical hollow body with an external thread at the upper end ( 6 ) to the threaded ring ( 2 ) of the sucker ( 1 ) to be able to record.

There are two continuous cutouts on the cover ( 3 ) that allow the milk from the baby drinking bottle to pass through the cutouts (when closed) 3 ) to the vacuum cleaner ( 1 ) can reach.

At the bottom of part 1 there are two latches in the middle ( 11 ), which are provided with recesses ( 12 ) are kept flexible on the right and left.

The snap tabs ( 11 ) lie opposite each other and, thanks to their recess and shape, offer enough contact surface, the snap-in hooks ( 10 ) with your fingers.

The snap hooks ( 10 ) are at the bottom of part 1 , and have part of the task 1 and part 2 not only to hold on, but also to enable them to rotate against each other. Due to its elliptically shaped design with the cutouts ( 14 ) for the toddler's fingers, and the elliptical handle ( 7 ) With its protrusions on the right and left, the toddler has a drinking aid in that he can hold the baby drinking bottle better during the drinking process, fix it better and thus control it better.

At the same time, the handle ( 7 ) can be used as a turning aid for closing or opening the lock.

Farther the adapter or module lock is immediately recognizable as such and distinctive.

On the inside of part 1 there is a match in the upper area ( 5 ), with the tolerance positions H / h.

The fit with this tolerance is at least required to part 1 of part 2 to seal, and at the same time the opportunity to have part 1 and part 2 to turn against each other.

Since there is a match ( 5 ) can only be realized cost-effectively with large quantities, the option for other common piston seals should also ( 4 ) in part 2 be maintained.

To heard sealing with an O-ring, elastic integrated lip seal or simply an elastic rubber piston.

Since there are many options here, but other versions would go beyond the scope, I would like to simplify all other versions as a game fit ( 5 ) represent.

part 2 consists of a cylindrical hollow body with two cutouts on its cover ( 3 ) with the cutouts ( 3 ) from the cover of part 1 to match.

The milk can only pass through the cutouts to the teat ( 1 ) arrive when the cutouts from part 1 and part 2 lie on one another.

Becomes part 1 by 90 degrees 2 rotated, the cutouts are rotated against each other, and thus closed.

In order to avoid unintentional turning, retaining rings ( 13 ) attached, which make further turning impossible, as well as the snap hook ( 10 ) specify the respective closing or (opening position.

In the upper part of part 2 is the piston ( 4 ) with clearance adjustment of the tolerance level H / h.

In interaction with the game fit ( 5 ) on the inside of part 1 the piston can not only be turned, but also seals the locking system.

In order to be able to take up the external thread of a baby drinking bottle, is located in the lower area of part 2 an internal thread ( 8th ) of the same thread diameter.
