  • a protective cap in the form of a cup covers the nipple, by fitting on the periphery of said nut.
  • Document US-A-5 419 445 describes a container intended to be housed inside a bottle. This container makes it possible to store milk powder in order to then diffuse it into the liquid contained in said bottle by retracting the bottom of said container.
  • bottles which are provided with compartmentalization devices consisting of a removable container, having a neck on its open end and designed to be housed in the neck of the bottle while resting by said neck on the neck of said bottle.
  • compartmentalization devices consisting of a removable container, having a neck on its open end and designed to be housed in the neck of the bottle while resting by said neck on the neck of said bottle.
  • the liquid contained in the body of the bottle can, as a result of the agitation which it undergoes during, for example, transport, leak between the neck of the bottle and the neck of the container and then mix with the product contained in said container.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to propose a device for compartmentalizing baby bottles which is at the same time, simple in design, simple to use, easy to clean and of low manufacturing cost.
  • Another object of the invention is to be easy to handle. Another object of the present invention is also to prevent the liquid from leaking towards the product contained in the container.
  • a device for compartmentalizing a baby bottle is characterized in that it comprises a seal provided to be between the neck of the bottle and the neck of the container.
  • said seal consists of an elastomer overmolding covering the neck of said container.
  • said container is entirely rigid.
  • said container has a flexible body and a rigid neck.
  • said container is designed to be mounted on a bottle equipped with a funnel-shaped cap.
  • said container is of substantially cylindrical shape. According to another characteristic of the invention, said container is of a depth less than the height of the body of said bottle and of a section at most equal to that of the neck of the bottle.
  • said bottle comprises a seal which is mounted between the base of the teat and the neck of the container tightened by the nut at the same time as the base of the teat and the neck.
  • said cover comprises, in its central part, a depression.
  • FIG. 1 is an overall sectional view of a bottle of a first type, equipped with a container according to the invention

  • FIG. 2 is a detailed view in section of a container according to the invention
  • FIG. 3
  • FIG. 4 is an overall sectional view of a bottle of a first type, equipped with a container according to the invention, when the latter is used to pour an ingredient into the bottle
  • FIG. 4bis is an overall sectional view of a bottle of a second type, equipped with a container according to the invention, when the latter is used to pour an ingredient into the bottle.
  • the bottle 1 of FIG. 1 consists of five elements: a main body 10, a container 20, a nipple 30, a clamping nut 40 and a cap 50.
  • the body 10 of the bottle 1 has a substantially cylindrical shape and is open at its upper end. This opening is formed by a neck 12 provided with a thread 11 on its external part.
  • the container 20 is thus entirely housed in the neck 12 of the body 10.
  • the seal 22 consists of an elastomer overmolding covering the neck of said container 20, as can be seen in FIG. 2.
  • the seal 22 makes it possible to avoid any leakage of the liquid contained in the body 10 of the bottle in the direction of the product which is in the container 20.
  • the container 20 has a diameter at most equal to the internal diameter of the neck
  • the neck 21 has a diameter substantially equal to the external diameter of the neck 12. More specifically, so that the container 20 can rest on the neck 12, the diameter of the neck 21 must be between the external diameter and the internal diameter neck 12.
  • the container 20 can be entirely rigid or have a flexible body and a rigid neck 21. It is preferably made of plastic, for example polypropylene.
  • a clamping nut 40 holds a teat
  • the tightening nut 40 has for this purpose a thread 41 which collaborates with the thread 11 of the neck 12.
  • the tightening nut 40 also has a neck 42
  • the clamping nut 40 and the nipple 30 are shown in detail in FIG. 3.
  • a cap 50 fits on the tightening nut 40 and abuts, by its lower end, on the neck 42, thus covering the upper part of the bottle 1.
  • the cap 50 is a hollow element of revolution, having at its bases a cylindrical shape, in its middle part a frustoconical shape and being closed, in its upper part, by a substantially hemispherical shape.
  • the bottle 1 contains, inside the body 10, a liquid 2 such as water and, inside the container 20, a product 3 such as milk powder.
  • Fig. Ibis represents a baby bottle l 'of a second type, which differs from baby bottle 1 by the structure of its cap 50' and its tightening nut 40 '.
  • the cap 50 ' is similar in shape to the cap 50 but it is open at both ends.
  • the lower opening has a flared shape so as to cover the base of the neck 12 of the body 10.
  • the upper opening of the cap 50 ' is closed by a plug 60'. It is smaller than the lower opening so that it can penetrate the neck 12.
  • the plug 60 ' is formed by a cylindrical part 61' and a concentric circular base 62 '.
  • the cylindrical part 61 ' fits inside the upper opening of the cap 50'.
  • the clamping nut 40 ' differs from the clamping nut 40 in that it does not have a neck 42. This allows the lower part of the cap 50' to descend lower than the clamping nut 40 ' .
  • Fig. lter represents a bottle 1 "of a second type, which differs from bottles 1 and l 'in that it does not have a cap 50 or 50'.
  • a cover 70 of substantially circular shape is provided with a depression 71 in its central part.
  • the cover 70 is mounted between the base of the teat 30 "and the neck 21" of the container 20 ", tightened by the nut 40" at the same time as the base of the teat 30 "and the neck 21".
  • the outside diameter of the the cover 70 has a diameter slightly less than the internal diameter of the nut 40 "and substantially equal to the diameter of the base of the teat 30".
  • the depression 71 it has a diameter slightly less than the internal diameter of the container 20 ".
  • bottle 1 when preparing a drink.
  • the cap 50 has been removed.
  • the tightening nut 40 was unscrewed in order to be able to remove the nipple 30 and the container from the body 10.
  • the container 20 was taken to pour the product 3 which it contains into the body 10 through the neck. 12.
  • the product 3 mixes with the fluid 2 present in the body 10.
  • Fig. 4bis represents the bottle when preparing a drink. The same manipulations are carried out as for bottle 1 with a few differences.
  • the cap 50 ' In addition to removing the cap 50 ', its cap 60' must be removed. Then, after having removed the container 20 from the body 10, it is necessary to turn the cap 50 'to place its small opening inside the neck 12 of the body 10, this in order to use it as a funnel. Then the powder 3, contained in the container 20, is poured into the body 10 by the cap 50 '. Before mounting the teat 30 on the neck 12, the cap 50 'must be removed.
  • the container 20 because of its configuration, in particular its substantially cylindrical shape, allows easy pouring of the powder 3 into the body 10. Its neck 21 is of sufficient thickness, for example 2 millimeters, so that we can easily remove the container 20 from the neck 12.
  • the container 20 can be of various shape and capacity as long as its size allows it to enter the interior of the body 10.
  • the thickness of the neck 21 and of the annular base 31 of the teat 30 must therefore be such that they allow the aforementioned screwing.
  • the height of the tightening nut 40 or 40 ′ will be 25 millimeters for a neck 21 2 millimeters thick.
  • the container 20 is intended both to contain the product 3 and to be immersed inside the liquid 2, contained in the body 10, it must be made of a material which is easy to clean and which presents no risk of contamination vis-à-vis the liquid 2 or the product 3.
  • the bottom of the container 20 will be of rounded shapes in order to facilitate its cleaning and to avoid food deposits conducive to bacterial growth.
  • the product 3 contained in the container 20 can just as easily be milk powder as cereal flours, concentrated fruit juice, or any other product intended to be diluted in a liquid, whether under powder or liquid form.
  • the liquid 2 contained in the body 10 of the bottle 1 or the will preferably be water, hot or cold, but that this could just as easily be another liquid used in feeding the infant.
