Definitions
- the present invention relates to a bottle breastfeeding.
- such a bottle includes a body, for example example made of a plastic material, which is intended for receive a feeding fluid from an infant, in particular milk.
- This body is surmounted by a soft pacifier that is there secured by means of a threaded ring, called screw ring cooperating with an external thread on the upper part of the body.
- the invention proposes to carry out breastfeeding bottle, of the type described above, which allows to simulate maternal feeding more satisfactory than those developed so far in the prior art.
- a bottle breastfeeding device comprising a body, a pacifier comprising a dress and a terminal sucking tip, this bottle also comprising fixing means, in particular by screwing, of the nipple on the body, characterized in that is further provided a mechanical holding member of the teat dress, this holding member being capped, at less at rest, by this dress and having a hardness significantly higher than that of the pacifier, so that distinguish the respective mechanical behaviors from the dress and mouthpiece.
- the bottle of Figure 1 comprises a body 2, only partially represented, which has a collar 4 with a thread 6.
- This bottle is also provided with a nipple 8, made in particular of silicone or rubber, which has for example a hardness included between 20 and 50 Shore A, preferably between 30 and 40 Shore AT.
- this pacifier has a hardness less than that of the teats of the prior art, used classically. It comprises a tapered tip 10, or nipple, intended for sucking by an infant, a intermediate dress 12, as well as a final collar 14.
- the dress 12 has a shaft 12 1 , adjacent to the collar 14, which is substantially cylindrical at rest, namely in the absence of suction of the infant. There is further provided a portion 12 2 of connection with the tip 10, which tapers gradually from the shaft 12 1 to the tip 10. As a first approximation, we can consider that this connecting portion 12 2 has a profile roughly frustoconical.
- a ring 16 comprising a barrel 18, adapted to cooperate with the threading 6, and a upper rim 20, hollowed with a central opening of passage of the pacifier.
- the nursing bottle of the invention comprises also a mechanical holding member of the dress 12 of the nipple 8, which is designated as a whole by the 22.
- This member 22, which is for example made of silicone or an elastomeric thermoplastic material, of TPE, has a hardness significantly higher than that of nipple 8, ie for example greater than 50 Shore A, preferably greater than 70 Shore A.
- the hardness of this organ 22 can be modulated so as to obtain consistency as close as possible to that of the mother's breast.
- This mechanical holding member comprises a peripheral flange 24, interposed in service between the surfaces facing the neck 4 and the flange 14 of the nipple.
- This collar 24 is hollowed with a notch radial, forming a channel 26 allowing the implementation communication, with ambient air, of the interior volume V of the body 2.
- a dome 28 is further protruding, from the flange 24, towards the end piece 10. It is finished by an upper range 30, substantially parallel to the flange 24, which is hollowed out with a central orifice 32. last can be selectively closed by an element mobile device 34, mounted in rotation about a horizontal axis, to know parallel to the main plane of the beach 30.
- This movable element 34 forming a non-return valve known manner, allows the passage of the liquid since the interior volume V towards the end piece 10, but prohibited in contrast any substantial change of liquid in the direction opposite. He is able to release an opening sufficiently important to avoid any fouling, especially in the case where a thick liquid is administered to the infant.
- this element 34 can be removably mounted on the beach 30, for example by elastic latching. This then guarantees an ease of appreciable cleaning.
- this mobile element 34 can be made of a silicone food. In this spirit, he is then unalterable, hygienic and safe for the infant, while being able to withstand the temperatures necessary for its sterilization.
- the dome 28 comprises a substantially cylindrical barrel 28 1 extending from the flange 24, and a portion 28 2 of connection with the upper region 30.
- This connecting portion 28 2 presents , in longitudinal section, a profile substantially arcuate.
- the barrels 12 1 and 28 1 extend, in their entirety, in contact with each other.
- the dress 12 caps the holding member 22, so that it contributes to increase the mechanical strength of this dress.
- the respective connecting portions 12 2 and 28 2 which are provided the dress 12 and the dome 28, define an interstitial space E between the nipple 8 and the mechanical support member 22.
- This interstitial space E which is extends from the barrels 12 1 and 28 1 , has a section which increases progressively towards the end cap 10, in the rest position of the bottle.
- the baby bottle described above offers the infant a breastfeeding that is actually close to feeding kindergarten.
- the Applicant has found that, in the case of breastfeeding, the infant's tongue constitutes a primordial element in the suction operation. So, during nursery feeding, the tongue extends beyond gums, so as to exercise a wave motion on the breast of the mother. This has the effect of increasing the points of contact between the infant's mouth and the breast, so that the maternal suckling is akin to a "rich" type diet.
- bottles of the prior art are not nature to allow such a rich diet.
- the different elements components of the pacifier have the same hardness, it results in a flattening, or collapse, of this pacifier during sucking.
- the bottle of the invention authorizes a reconstituting diet substantially, in its essential functions, breastfeeding.
- the dress 12 of the pacifier caps the organ of 22, which avoids the aforementioned collapse of the nipple. Due to the presence of this body 22, respective mechanical behaviors of dress 12 and the tip 10 are distinct in use, namely when sucking. These behaviors are differentiated in concerning their elasticity and their ability to deformity during feeding.
- this tip 10 is particularly flexible, in that the nipple 8 has advantageously a hardness lower than the teats of art prior.
- the bottle of the invention thus allows to establish many points of contact between the mouth of the infant and pacifier, as mentioned above with the within the mother. In this way, the bottle of the invention allows to reproduce faithfully maternal nursery.
- the liquid is administered to the infant according to the arrow f , while being prevented from returning to the body 2, because of the presence of the valve 34.
- This liquid also enters the interstitial space E, according to the arrows f ', so as to increase its section, as shown in Figures 3 and 5.
- channel 26 setting to atmospheric pressure is also advantageous. Indeed, by varying the parameters of this channel, especially its size, it is possible to control the air penetration towards the interior volume V, without the liquid can not flow out of the container, by this channel.
- FIGS 6 to 8 illustrate a variant of embodiment of the invention.
- the elements similar to those of Figures 1 to 3 are assigned the same reference numbers, increased by 100.
- This bottle thus comprises a body 102, a neck 104, a threading 106, a nipple 108, and a ring 116. is also provided a mechanical holding member of the dress 112, designated as a whole by reference 122. This member is made of a material similar to that constituent of the member 22 of the preceding figures.
- This member 122 which is made in one piece, has a flange 124 which is extended by a frustoconical holding portion 128 1 , itself terminated by an end 128 2 .
- the end 128 2 has a conical profile, whose conicity is greater than that of the frustoconical holding portion 128 1 .
- the barrel 112 1 of the dress 112 covers the holding portion 128 1 , whereas the connecting portion 112 2 defines, with the end 128 2 , a gap interstitial E.
- an interstitial space E which extends from the holding portion 128 1 and the barrel 112 1 , has a section which increases progressively toward the terminal end 110.
- conical end 128 2 are provided a plurality of slots, of which only one 134 is illustrated in Figure 7.
- it is for example provided between one and four slots.
- the slots 134 form a check valve, since their walls 134 'are movable between a joined position and a open position, in which the passage of the liquid is allowed in one direction, ie from the volume inside of the bottle towards the terminal end 110.
- FIGS. 6 to 8 presents specific advantages.
- the member 122 is realized in one piece, it is a much larger achievement simple that the usual check valves, composed of at least two separate parts.
- this holding member 122 can be made of a suitable material, it authorizes an appreciable facility to the different operations aimed at its maintenance, in particular the sterilization and cleaning.
