Abstract

The feeding bottle, comprising a body and a teat held in place by a retaining ring (16), especially threaded and engaging with the bottle neck (4), has a non-return valve (26) between the bottle and teat, and a progressive air inlet formed by a radial channel (38) in the rim of the bottle neck and the edge of the valve, and controlled by a lip (40) on the teat collar (14). The size of the air inlet is varied by adjusting the pressure applied to the flexible edge of the teat collar by the threaded ring according to the flow rate required by the baby.

Description

La présente invention concerne un biberon d'allaitement.The present invention relates to a bottle breastfeeding.

De façon connue, un tel biberon comprend un corps, par exemple réalisé en une matière plastique, qui est destiné à recevoir un liquide d'alimentation d'un nourrisson, en particulier du lait.In known manner, such a bottle comprises a body, by example made of a plastic material, which is intended for receive a feeding liquid from an infant, especially milk.

Ce corps est surmonté d'une tétine souple, qui y est solidarisée par l'intermédiaire d'une bague taraudée, dite bague à vis, coopérant avec un filetage externe ménagé sur la partie supérieure du corps.This body is surmounted by a flexible nipple, which is there secured by means of a threaded ring, called screw ring, cooperating with an external thread arranged on the upper body.

L'invention se propose de réaliser un biberon d'allaitement, du type précité, qui permette d'administrer du liquide à un nourrisson, dans des conditions satisfaisantes pour celui-ci.The invention proposes to produce a bottle breastfeeding, of the aforementioned type, which allows to administer fluid to an infant, under conditions satisfactory for this one.

L'invention vise en particulier à proposer un tel biberon qui soit à même de s'adapter, de façon simple et rapide, aux différents appétits des nourrissons.The invention aims in particular to propose such a bottle that is able to adapt, in a simple and fast, to the different appetites of infants.

A cet effet, elle a pour objet un biberon d'allaitement selon la revendication 1.For this purpose, it relates to a bottle according to claim 1.

Des caractéristiques avantageuses de l'invention font l'objet des sous-revendications.Advantageous features of the invention are the subject of the subclaims.

L'invention va être décrite ci-après, en référence aux dessins annexés, donnés uniquement à titre d'exemples non limitatifs, dans lesquels :

  • la figure 1 est une vue partielle, illustrant un biberon d'allaitement conforme à un premier mode de réalisation de l'invention ;
  • les figures 2 et 3 sont des vues en coupe longitudinale, à plus grande échelle, illustrant le biberon de la figure 1 dans deux positions distinctes, permettant d'administrer des débits de liquide différents à un nourrisson ;
  • la figure 4 est une vue partielle, analogue à la figure 1, illustrant un clapet anti-retour et une tétine appartenant à un biberon d'allaitement conforme à un second mode de réalisation de l'invention.
The invention will be described below, with reference to the accompanying drawings, given only by way of nonlimiting examples, in which:
  • Figure 1 is a partial view illustrating a nursing bottle according to a first embodiment of the invention;
  • Figures 2 and 3 are longitudinal sectional views, on a larger scale, illustrating the bottle of Figure 1 in two separate positions, for administering different liquid flow rates to an infant;
  • Figure 4 is a partial view, similar to Figure 1, illustrating a check valve and a teat belonging to a nursing bottle according to a second embodiment of the invention.

Le biberon de la figure 1 comprend un corps 2, représenté seulement partiellement, qui possède un col supérieur 4 muni d'un filetage 6.The bottle of FIG. 1 comprises a body 2, only partially shown, which has a collar upper 4 with thread 6.

Ce biberon est en outre pourvu d'une tétine 8, possédant un embout aminci 10, une robe intermédiaire 12, ainsi qu'une collerette terminale 14.This bottle is also provided with a nipple 8, having a thinned end 10, an intermediate dress 12, as well as a terminal flange 14.

Il est également prévu une bague 16, comprenant un fût taraudé 18, apte à coopérer avec le filetage 6, ainsi qu'un rebord supérieur 20, creusé d'une ouverture centrale du passage de la tétine.A ring 16 is also provided, comprising a barrel threaded 18, able to cooperate with thread 6, as well as a upper edge 20, hollowed out with a central opening in the passage of the pacifier.

Il est à noter que le rebord 20 est pourvu, sur sa face en regard de la tétine, d'une nervure périphérique 22. Cette dernière prend appui contre la tétine 8, en service, au voisinage d'un épaulement 24 de cette dernière.It should be noted that the rim 20 is provided, on its opposite face of the teat, of a peripheral rib 22. The latter is supported against the nipple 8, in service, in the vicinity of a shoulder 24 of the latter.

Le biberon comporte de plus un organe 26, qui forme clapet anti-retour et permet, de façon classique, d'empêcher le retour du liquide de la tétine vers le corps.The bottle also has a member 26, which forms non-return valve and allows, in a conventional manner, prevent the return of the liquid from the teat to the body.

Ce clapet 26 comprend une plage principale 28, dont la face inférieure prend appui, en service, contre l'extrémité supérieure du col 4. Une jupe 30 fait par ailleurs saillie, à partir de la plage 28, dans le volume intérieur du col 4.This valve 26 includes a main track 28, the underside bears, in service, against the end upper neck 4. A skirt 30 also projects, from range 28, in the interior volume of the neck 4.

Il est également prévu un organe mobile 32, qui est monté en rotation autour d'un axe A horizontal, à savoir parallèle au plan principal de la plage 28. Cet organe mobile 32 est ainsi articulé latéralement, de sorte qu'il est à même de libérer une ouverture suffisamment importante pour éviter tout encrassement, particulièrement dans le cas où un liquide épais est administré au nourrisson.A movable member 32 is also provided, which is rotatably mounted about a horizontal axis A, namely parallel to the main plane of the beach 28. This organ mobile 32 is thus articulated laterally, so that it is able to release a sufficiently large opening to avoid fouling, especially in the case where a thick liquid is administered to the infant.

De façon avantageuse, l'organe mobile 32 peut être monté, de façon amovible, sur la plage principale 28, par exemple par encliquetage élastique. Ceci garantit alors une facilité de nettoyage appréciable. Advantageously, the movable member 32 can be removably mounted on the main track 28, by example by elastic snap. This then guarantees a appreciable ease of cleaning.

Selon une autre caractéristique avantageuse, cet organe mobile 32 peut être réalisé en un silicone alimentaire. Dans cet esprit, un tel organe est inaltérable, hygiénique, résiste à toute température utile à sa stérilisation et ne présente aucun danger pour le nourrisson.According to another advantageous characteristic, this movable member 32 can be made of silicone food. With this in mind, such an organ is unalterable, hygienic, withstands all useful temperatures sterilization and poses no danger to the infant.

Comme le montrent plus précisément les figures 2 et 3, la périphérie extérieure de la plage 28 est chanfreinée, au niveau de sa face supérieure. Ceci conduit donc à la formation d'une portion conique d'extrémité 34, qui s'amincit vers l'extérieur.As shown in more detail in Figures 2 and 3, the outer periphery of the area 28 is chamfered, at the level of its upper face. This therefore leads to the forming a conical end portion 34, which thins outward.

Cette extrémité 34 coopère par ailleurs avec une extrémité évasée 36 de la tétine 8. Les extrémités précitées 34 et 36 présentent ainsi, en coupe transversale, des profils mutuels conjugués.This end 34 also cooperates with a flared end 36 of the nipple 8. The ends 34 and 36 thus present, in cross section, mutual conjugate profiles.

L'extrémité supérieure du col 4 est creusée d'une échancrure radiale, ou canal 38, qui présente une section relativement faible, par exemple de l'ordre de 1 mm. Les parois de ce canal 38 délimitent, avec la face en regard du clapet 26, une ouverture mettant en communication, avec l'air ambiant, le volume intérieur V du corps 2.The upper end of the neck 4 is hollowed out with a radial notch, or channel 38, which has a section relatively small, for example of the order of 1 mm. The walls of this channel 38 delimit, with the face facing the valve 26, an opening communicating with the ambient air, the interior volume V of the body 2.

Dans un souci de clarté, la référence 38 sera également affectée à cette ouverture. Il convient de noter que cette dernière forme un moyen de passage d'air en direction du volume intérieur V.For the sake of clarity, reference 38 will be also assigned to this opening. It should be noted that the latter forms a means of air passage in direction of the interior volume V.

Dans la position de la figure 2, la bague 16 exerce seulement une pression modérée sur la tétine 8, de sorte que cette dernière n'est sensiblement pas déformée, par rapport à sa position de repos. La tétine 8 libère ainsi, de manière pratiquement totale, l'ouverture précitée 38.In the position of Figure 2, the ring 16 exerts only moderate pressure on the nipple 8, so that the latter is not substantially deformed, by relative to its rest position. The pacifier 8 thus releases, almost completely, the aforementioned opening 38.

Ceci autorise alors un passage d'air important en direction du volume intérieur V. De la sorte, le débit administré au nourrisson, matérialisé par la flèche F, est relativement élevé. This then allows a significant passage of air in direction of the interior volume V. In this way, the flow administered to the infant, marked by the arrow F, is relatively high.

Il convient de noter que, sur cette figure 2, le clapet 26 assume sa fonction classique, puisqu'il empêche le retour du liquide, admis dans la tétine 8, en direction du volume intérieur V.It should be noted that, in this figure 2, the valve 26 assumes its classic function, since it prevents the return of the liquid, admitted into the nipple 8, towards of the interior volume V.

Si l'on désire diminuer le débit de liquide administré au nourrisson, il s'agit de visser la bague 16. La tétine 8 se trouve alors comprimée entre la nervure 22 de la bague 16 et l'extrémité conique 34 du clapet 26.If you want to decrease the flow of liquid administered for infants, it is a question of screwing the ring 16. The pacifier 8 is then compressed between the rib 22 of the ring 16 and the conical end 34 of the valve 26.

Ceci induit donc une déformation de la tétine, par fluage. Comme le montre la figure 3, une fois la bague 16 vissée, la tétine possède désormais un bourrelet périphérique 40, prolongeant son extrémité évasée 36.This therefore induces deformation of the teat, by creep. As shown in Figure 3, once the ring 16 screwed down, the teat now has a bead peripheral 40, extending its flared end 36.

Un tel bourrelet 40 recouvre ainsi, de façon partielle, l'ouverture 38. On conçoit que le débit d'air susceptible de s'écouler vers le volume intérieur V matérialisé par la flèche f, est sensiblement inférieur à celui de la figure 2. Cette diminution du débit du passage d'air s'accompagne, par conséquent, d'une diminution correspondante du débit de liquide administré au nourrisson.Such a bead 40 thus partially covers the opening 38. It will be appreciated that the air flow rate capable of flowing towards the interior volume V materialized by the arrow f , is substantially lower than that of FIG. 2. This decrease in the flow rate of the air passage is therefore accompanied by a corresponding decrease in the flow rate of liquid administered to the infant.

Par ailleurs, si l'on visse davantage la bague 16, cette dernière contribue à déformer la tétine 8, jusqu'à ce que cette dernière obture entièrement l'ouverture 38.Furthermore, if we screw the ring 16 more, the latter contributes to deforming the nipple 8, until that the latter completely closes the opening 38.

Dans ce cas, l'air ne peut plus s'écouler en direction du volume intérieur V, de sorte que le liquide ne peut plus s'échapper du biberon. Ce dernier se trouve alors aisément transportable, sans risque de salissures.In this case, the air can no longer flow towards of the interior volume V, so that the liquid can no longer escape from the bottle. The latter is then easily found transportable, without risk of soiling.

En revanche, si l'on désire à nouveau augmenter le débit de liquide administré au nourrisson, il s'agit de dévisser la bague 16. De la sorte, la tétine 8 revient, par élasticité, dans sa position initiale de la figure 2, autorisant un débit plus élevé.On the other hand, if we wish to increase the liquid flow rate administered to the infant, this is unscrew the ring 16. In this way, the nipple 8 returns, by elasticity, in its initial position in FIG. 2, allowing higher throughput.

Il convient de remarquer que la forme conique de l'extrémité 34 du clapet 26 est avantageuse. En effet, elle constitue une amorce en vue de la déformation de la tétine, par fluage.It should be noted that the conical shape of the end 34 of the valve 26 is advantageous. Indeed, it constitutes a primer for deformation of the teat, by creep.

Comme cela ressort de la précédente description, l'utilisatrice est à même de faire varier le débit de liquide administré au nourrisson, de façon simple et progressive. En effet, un tel débit est directement lié au degré du vissage de la bague 16.As can be seen from the previous description, the user can vary the flow from liquid administered to the infant in a simple and progressive. Indeed, such a flow is directly linked to the degree of screwing of the ring 16.

La figure 4 illustre une variante de réalisation du biberon d'allaitement conforme à l'invention. Sur cette figure, les éléments mécaniques analogues à ceux des figures 1 à 3 y sont affectés des mêmes numéros de référence, augmentés de 100.FIG. 4 illustrates an alternative embodiment of the nursing bottle according to the invention. On this figure, the mechanical elements similar to those of Figures 1 to 3 are assigned the same numbers reference, increased by 100.

Le clapet 126, illustré sur cette figure 4, comprend, outre la plage 128 et la jupe 130, une saillie centrale 131, sur laquelle est monté l'organe mobile 132. Une telle saillie 131 est apte à être fixée, par emboítement, contre la paroi intérieure de la robe 112 de la tétine 108.The valve 126, illustrated in this FIG. 4, comprises, in addition to track 128 and skirt 130, a central projection 131, on which is mounted the movable member 132. Such a projection 131 is suitable for being fixed, by interlocking, against the inner wall of the dress 112 of the pacifier 108.

Cette fixation amovible du clapet 126 et de la tétine 108 est avantageuse, en termes de facilité d'emploi. En effet, l'utilisatrice est à même d'assujettir tout d'abord mutuellement ces deux éléments, avant de monter l'ensemble ainsi formé sur le corps du biberon.This removable attachment of the valve 126 and the teat 108 is advantageous in terms of ease of use. In effect, the user is able to subject first these two elements together, before mounting the assembly thus formed on the body of the bottle.

L'invention n'est pas limitée aux exemples décrits et représentés.The invention is not limited to the examples described and represented.

En effet, les moyens de passage d'air en direction du volume intérieur du biberon peuvent être différents de ceux illustrés.Indeed, the air passage means towards the interior volume of the bottle may be different from those illustrated.

On peut ainsi prévoir de pratiquer, à la périphérie extérieure du clapet, une lumière mettant en communication le volume intérieur du biberon avec l'air ambiant. Dans cette optique, la tétine est à même de recouvrir partiellement une telle lumière, par déformation sous l'effet de son fluage. We can thus plan to practice, on the outskirts exterior of the valve, a light connecting the interior volume of the bottle with the ambient air. In this optic, the teat is able to cover partially such a light, by deformation under the effect of its creep.

De plus, il est envisageable de prévoir, sur le biberon, des repères permettant de visualiser les différents débits qui sont permis par le biberon.In addition, it is conceivable to provide, on the bottle, markers to visualize the different flow rates that are allowed by the bottle.

L'invention permet de réaliser les objectifs précédemment mentionnés.The invention achieves the objectives previously mentioned.

En effet, grâce au biberon de l'invention, l'utilisatrice maítrise, de façon simple et précise, le débit de liquide effectivement administré au nourrisson.Indeed, thanks to the bottle of the invention, the user controls, in a simple and precise way, the liquid flow actually administered to the infant.

A cet égard, il est possible d'obliger le nourrisson à effectuer la tétée du biberon dans un temps donné. De la sorte, l'invention assure une éducation du nourrisson en ce qui concerne son alimentation, puisque ce dernier sera incité à pratiquer un temps de tétée similaire à celui observé lors d'une tétée « idéale », au sein maternel.In this regard, it is possible to force the infant to suckle the bottle within a given time. Of the so the invention provides an infant education in this concerning his diet, since the latter will encouraged to practice a feeding time similar to that observed during an “ideal” feeding in the mother's womb.

Ceci induit de nombreuses conséquences, aussi bien psychiques ou physiques.This has many consequences, as well psychic or physical.

Le nourrisson est satisfait de sa tétée, quelle que soit sa nature, goulu, normal ou paresseux.The infant is satisfied with his feeding, regardless of either his nature, greedy, normal or lazy.

Il ne régurgite plus et manifeste des rôts similaires à ceux observés lors d'une alimentation au sein maternel.It no longer regurgitates and manifests similar roasts to those observed during breastfeeding.

Le nourrisson ne pleure pas, du fait d'un éventuel énervement provoqué par la remontée du liquide dans le corps du biberon, grâce à la présence du clapet anti-retour.The infant does not cry, due to a possible nervousness caused by the rise of the liquid in the body of the bottle, thanks to the presence of the non-return valve.

De plus, le nourrisson n'est pas sujet à un énervement qui serait relatif à un comportement défectueux du biberon, tels que des régurgitations par étouffement, lorsque le liquide est absorbé d'une manière intempestive.In addition, the infant is not subject to nervousness which would relate to defective behavior of the bottle, such as choking regurgitation, when the liquid is absorbed inadvertently.

Enfin, grâce à l'invention, le problème du perçage de l'extrémité amincie de la tétine, faisant l'objet de nombreuses recherches, est rendu secondaire. En effet, il est désormais possible de pratiquer une simple fente jointive, ce qui avantageux dans la mesure où tout écoulement intempestif hors du biberon est évité.Finally, thanks to the invention, the problem of drilling the thinned end of the teat, much research, is made secondary. Indeed, it is now possible to practice a simple lunge contiguous, which is advantageous insofar as everything Spillage from the bottle is avoided.
