Description

La présente invention est du domaine de l'administration de nourriture par voie buccale et concerne plus spécialement un biberon à thermomètre.The present invention is in the field of administration of food by the oral route and relates more specifically to a bottle with thermometer.

Pour mesurer la température d'un liquide donné à un bébé, on a déjà eu l'idée de combiner un biberon avec un thermomètre.To measure the temperature of a liquid given to a baby, we already had the idea of combining a bottle with a thermometer.

Par le brevet suisse 550.584, on connaît un biberon présentant un dégagement latéral destiné à recevoir un ensemble comportant sur une face un thermomètre et sur la face opposée des cannelures destinées à coopérer avec les bords du dégagement latéral, pour assurer la fixation amovible de l'ensemble de mesure de température.By Swiss patent 550,584, a bottle is known having a lateral clearance intended to receive an assembly comprising on one side a thermometer and on the opposite face of the grooves intended to cooperate with the edges of the lateral clearance, to ensure the removable fixing of the temperature measurement set.

Dans le brevet suisse No 557.172 est décrit un biberon présentant sur sa paroi extérieure un évidement longitudinal muni de rebords destinés à maintenir un thermomètre glissé dans cet évidement au moment de l'utilisation du biberon.In Swiss Patent No. 557.172, a baby bottle is described having on its outer wall a longitudinal recess provided with flanges intended to hold a thermometer slid into this recess when the bottle is used.

Les thermomètres utilisés sont de type à dilatation de mercure ou d'alccol, qui ne peuvent pas supporter les températures de stérilisation, ce qui implique que les dispositifs décrits précédemment concernent des liaisons amovibles de moyens de mesure de température sur un biberon.The thermometers used are of the mercury or alcohol expansion type, which cannot withstand the sterilization temperatures, which implies that the devices described above relate to removable connections of temperature measurement means on a bottle.

La présente invention propose un biberon à thermomètre qui peut supporter des températures élevées lors de la stérilisation de la bouteille. Ce biberon permet de connaître avec précision la température du liquide à administrer, ce qui est particulièrement intéressant pour les utilisateurs de fours à micro-ondes qui risquent de brûler la gorge de bébés avec un liquide trop chaud, alors que la bouteille est restée froide.The present invention provides a thermometer bottle which can withstand high temperatures during sterilization of the bottle. This bottle allows you to know precisely the temperature of the liquid to be administered, which is particularly interesting for users of microwave ovens who risk burning babies' throats with too hot liquid, while the bottle has remained cold.

Le biberon selon l'invention est caractérisé par le fait qu'il comporte des moyens de mesure de température au moins partiellement incorporés dans la matière constituant ledit biberon et aptes à supporter une stérilisation.The bottle according to the invention is characterized in that it includes temperature measurement means at least partially incorporated in the material constituting said bottle and able to withstand sterilization.

Dans une forme d'exécution préférentielle, les moyens de mesure de température sont constitués par un thermomètre de type bimétallique.In a preferred embodiment, the temperature measurement means are constituted by a bimetallic type thermometer.

Le dessin annexé représente, à titre d'exemples non limitatifs, deux formes d'exécution de l'objet de l'invention.The appended drawing represents, by way of nonlimiting examples, two embodiments of the subject of the invention.

La figure 1 est une vue de côté d'un biberon à thermomètre selon l'invention.Figure 1 is a side view of a thermometer bottle according to the invention.

La figure 2 est une coupe transversale partielle selon II-II à la figure 1, représentée à une plus grande échelle.Figure 2 is a partial cross section along II-II in Figure 1, shown on a larger scale.

La figure 3 est une coupe transversale d'un biberon présentant dans sa partie inférieure un thermomètre bimétallique.Figure 3 is a cross section of a baby bottle having in its lower part a bimetallic thermometer.

Le biberon 10 représenté à la figure 1 est constitué par une bouteille, en verre ou en matière plastique, présentant au moins une face 11 sensiblement plane dans laquelle est noyé un dispositif 20 de mesure de température. On notera que celui- ci est situé plus près de la base 12 du biberon que de son col 13, afin de pouvoir mesurer également la température d'une faible quantité de liquide.The bottle 10 shown in Figure 1 consists of a bottle, glass or plastic, having at least one substantially flat face 11 in which is embedded a device 20 for measuring temperature. It will be noted that the latter is located closer to the base 12 of the bottle than to its neck 13, so that the temperature of a small quantity of liquid can also be measured.

Comme visible à la figure 2, le dispositif 20 de mesure de température comporte une lunette transparente 21, un repère mobile 22 constitué par une aiguille par exemple, solidaire d'un ressort 23. L'aiguille 22 se déplace devant un cadran 24 portant les indications de température.As can be seen in FIG. 2, the device 20 for measuring temperature comprises a transparent bezel 21, a movable mark 22 constituted by a needle for example, secured to a spring 23. The needle 22 moves in front of a dial 24 carrying the temperature indications.

Dans une forme d'exécution préférentielle, les graduations sont comprises entre 0 et 50 C, ce qui permet de mesurer la température exacte d'un liquide chaud ou froid. On notera à la figure 1 que le cadran 24 comporte des plages de couleur 25 et 26, correspondant respectivement aux températures de 30 à 400 pour une boisson chaude, et de 0 à 10° pour un liquide froid. Pour la clarté du dessin, on a représentà à la figure 1 les graduations correspondant aux dizaines, mais il va de soi que les indications peuvent être plus précises.In a preferred embodiment, the graduations are between 0 and 50 C, which makes it possible to measure the exact temperature of a hot or cold liquid. Note in Figure 1 that the dial 24 has color areas 25 and 26, respectively corresponding to the temperatures of 30 to 40 0 for a hot drink, and 0 to 10 ° for a cold liquid. For the sake of clarity of the drawing, the graduations corresponding to the tens are shown in FIG. 1, but it goes without saying that the indications can be more precise.

A la figure 2, on notera encore que le fond 27 du boîtier 20 est de dimension supérieure au diamètre de l'ensemble, pour assurer sa fixation dans la matière constituant le face 11. En variante, on peut prévoir de réaliser des gorges sur la paroi latérale 28.In FIG. 2, it will also be noted that the bottom 27 of the housing 20 is of dimension greater than the diameter of the assembly, to ensure its fixing in the material constituting the face 11. As a variant, provision can be made for grooves on the side wall 28.

Dans la seconde forme d'exécution représentée à la figure 3, on retrouve une bouteille 10 contenant un liquide 30 et un dispositif 40 de mesure de température comportant comme précédemment une lunette transparente 41, un repère mobile 42 constitué par une aiguille par exemple, solidaire d'un thermomètre bimétallique 43 schématisé au dessin par son enveloppe cylindrique. L'aiguille 42 se déplace devant un cadran 44 portant les indications de température.In the second embodiment shown in Figure 3, there is a bottle 10 containing a liquid 30 and a temperature measurement device 40 comprising as before a transparent bezel 41, a movable mark 42 consisting of a needle for example, integral of a bimetallic thermometer 43 shown diagrammatically in the drawing by its cylindrical envelope. The needle 42 moves in front of a dial 44 carrying the temperature indications.

Le fond 45 du boîtier 40 est solidaire d'un corps 46 présentant sur son pourtour un filetage 47 destiné à assurer la fixation dans le fond 14 du biberon 10. Dans le cas où l'on désire pouvoir séparer le dispositif de mesure 40 de la bouteille 10, on insérera un joint d'étanchéité entre ces pièces et on prévoira des moyens de préhension pour faciliter montage et démontage.The bottom 45 of the housing 40 is integral with a body 46 having on its periphery a thread 47 intended to ensure the fixing in the bottom 14 of the bottle 10. In the case where it is desired to be able to separate the measuring device 40 from the bottle 10, insert a seal between these parts and provide gripping means to facilitate assembly and disassembly.

En variante, on peut remplacer le filetage 47 par des gorges pour renforcer la liaison entre le dispositif 40 de mesure de température et le biberon 10.As a variant, the thread 47 can be replaced by grooves to strengthen the connection between the device 40 for measuring temperature and the bottle 10.

Sans sortir du cadre de l'invention, on peut prévoir une combinaison des formes d'exécution proposées précédemment, et par exemple munir le dispositif de mesure 20 d'un tâteur traversant la paroi de la bouteille pour entrer en contact avec le liquide. Un tel tâteur, de même que le corps cylindrique 43 seront réalisés en acier inoxydable.Without departing from the scope of the invention, it is possible to provide a combination of the embodiments proposed above, and for example to provide the measuring device 20 with a feeler passing through the wall of the bottle to come into contact with the liquid. Such a feeler, as well as the cylindrical body 43 will be made of stainless steel.

On notera encore qu'un biberon tel que décrit précédemment permettra de connaître avec exactitude la température de son contenant, ce qui est particulièrement intéressant pour les utilisateurs de fours à micro-ondes qui risquent de brûler la gorge de bébés avec un liquide trop chaud, alors que la bouteille est restée froide.It will also be noted that a bottle as described above will make it possible to know exactly the temperature of its container, which is particularly interesting for users of microwave ovens who risk burning babies' throats with liquid that is too hot, while the bottle has remained cold.
