Definitions

  • This invention relates to a squeezing or sucking mouthpiece for a nursing bottle, particularly such a mouthpiece for an invalid taking liquid food.
  • a widely known sucking mouthpiece or cap for a nursing or feeding bottle comprises a bowl-shaped body of soft, elastic rubber which has a hollow nipple protruding outwardly from the center of its bottom and provided with a cruciform slit at its top.
  • This mouthpiece can, however, feed the contents of the bottle only when the nipple held in the mouth is continuously sucked with a strong force. It is, therefore, not suitable for use by an invalid of poor physical strength in drinking liquid food.
  • a squeezing mouthpiece of soft elastic rubber for a feeding bottle which comprises a generally thumb-shaped hollow body having an open end and a substantially crescent cross-section, an annular base contiguous to the open end of the body, and a cruciform slit provided at the top of the body.
  • the squeezing mouthpiece of this invention is formed from soft, elastic rubber, such as silicone rubber, and comprises a generally thumb-shaped hollow body 1 having a substantially crescent cross-section.
  • the body 1 is open at one end and has an annular base 2 which is contiguous to its open end.
  • the body 1 has a top 3 which defines a substantially semi-circular hollow configuration, and which is provided with a cruciform slit 4 in its center.
  • the base 2 is formed with an annular mounting flange 5.
  • the body 1 defines a chordal portion 6 and an arcuate portion 7.
  • the chordal portion 6 has a smaller wall thickness (e.g., 1.0 to 1.2 mm) to facilitate elastic deformation, while the arcuate portion 7 has a greater wall thickness (e.g., 2.0 to 2.5 mm) which provided a higher elastic restoring force, as shown in Figure 5.
  • the mouthpiece constructed as hereinabove described is used as shown in Figure 6 by way of example, in which it is connected to a cylindrical bottle 8 having a piston 9 slidably fitted therein.
  • the bottle 8 is open at both ends, and the flange 5 is retained on one end of the bottle 8 by a connecting member 10 to thereby mount the mouthpiece on the bottle 8.
  • the bottle 8 which is filled with a charge of liquid food 11 for an invalid is inclined at an appropriate angle and the body 1 of the mouthpiece is inserted into the mouth of, the invalid with its chordal portion 6 held against his upper lip.
  • the invalid holds the body 1 by applying his upper lip or upper front teeth against the chordal portion 6, and his tongue, lower lip or lower front teeth against its arcuate portion 7; and squeezes it toward its top 3, whereby the body 1 is compressed or flattened to force out liquid food 11 through the cruciform 4 into the invalid's mouth.
  • the body 1 When the invalid ceases to hold the body 1 in his mouth after each squeezing operation, the body 1 immediately restore its original hollow crescent cross-sectional shape by virtue of its elastic restoring force, whereby the piston 9 is drawn toward the mouthpiece to thereby force out liquid food from the bottle 8 into the body 1 restoring its original shape.
  • the arcuate portion 7 has a sufficiently thick wall thickness to provide a strong restoring force to facilitate the recovery of the hollow crescent cross-sectional configuration. If the body 1 fails to provide a sufficiently great elastic restoring force to allow for any sliding movement of the piston 9, and remains compressed, the top 3 of the body 1 is held in the mouth and sucked gently through the cruciform slit 4 to move the piston 9 toward the mouthpiece. No such auxiliary sucking operation is considered to impart any appreciable load even on an invalid.
