Definitions

  • the present invention relates to baby bottles, in particular single use disposable baby bottles comprising a suction unit, a container and a handle ring, and a kit for a disposable baby bottle and a disposable baby bottle and cup system.
  • Conventional baby bottles usually consist of a container, a nipple and a ring cover, with which the nipple is attached to the container.
  • the ring cover is usually screwed to the container, namely to a thread on the outside of the container opening.
  • Reusable bottles must be sufficiently cleaned and sterilized to prevent the filled drinks, e.g. bacterial, contaminated. Sterilization is time consuming and, if not expertly or inadequately cleaned, remains of residues may be left exposing the child to risk.
  • a step towards the rational production of a disposable bottle consists in a reduction of the components.
  • the mouthpiece of the nipple usually made of a flexible material
  • the ring cover usually made of another, more rigid material, are joined together to form a part, as in US 2004/0256345 and EP 0 300 786 released.
  • the suction unit can be secured to the container by means of a snap-lock, as in US 2004/0256345 and the documents cited therein. Once the bottle has been filled and closed, it can not be opened again for visible refilling without visible damage.
  • the FR 2 779 946 describes a Babyfaltflasche, which is stored in a protective cup before use.
  • the cup is sealed with a protective film which must be removed before use.
  • the object of the invention is to avoid the disadvantages of the known, in particular to provide a simple disposable bottle, which provides a comfortable and hygienic use and which is efficient and economical to produce.
  • a disposable baby bottle with a foldable container made of a flexible, liquid-tight plastic material, a suction unit and an intermediate element which is connected or connectable on the one hand with an opening portion of the foldable container and on the other hand with the suction unit, preferably without visible damage or destruction insoluble is connected or connectable, wherein the intermediate element is more dimensionally stable than the foldable container, in particular as the opening portion of the foldable container, wherein the suction unit has a preferably central or centrally located suction area for receiving in the mouth, in particular of an infant, of a substantially flexible, in particular elastic , Material having a liquid outlet and a substantially dimensionally stable annular region, and further wherein the suction region and the annular region are integrally formed.
  • Bottles with foldable containers can be delivered and stored in a very space-saving way. After being unfolded for use, the bottles provide sufficient internal volume. For disposal, the containers can be folded again to save space.
  • the plastic material for the container is flexible, that is, it is so adapted in thickness and / or material and / or shape that the container can be easily folded together and unfolded.
  • the foldable container has a small wall thickness, which allow the folding of the container with a certain material.
  • foldable container For one-way bottles, it is convenient to use foldable container with low wall thickness, which are inexpensive because of material entry, but also mechanically little claim. This can be detrimental to the handling and the possibility affect the liquid-tight connection.
  • the intermediate element compensates for this disadvantage.
  • wall thicknesses for the foldable cup can advantageously be less than approximately 2 mm.
  • Wall thicknesses of 0.6 mm to 0.2 mm are particularly well suited, especially when using EVA (ethylene vinyl acetate) or LDPE (low density polyethylene) material for producing the bottle. These materials are cost-effective to manufacture, meet the requirements in the food industry and allow various possibilities for the outer contour.
  • the disposable baby bottle according to the invention comprises a container for holding the beverage, e.g. of milk, tea, juice or even porridge, and a suction unit with a mouthpiece for sucking up a child, a patient or an animal.
  • a container for holding the beverage e.g. of milk, tea, juice or even porridge
  • a suction unit with a mouthpiece for sucking up a child, a patient or an animal.
  • the two essential components namely foldable container and suction unit
  • the intermediate element Before filling either the intermediate element with the container or the intermediate element may be connected to the suction unit.
  • the second connection either to the suction unit or to the container leads to the liquid-tight coupling of suction unit and container, so that the filling can emerge exclusively through the designated liquid outlet in the mouthpiece of the suction unit.
  • this is connected or connectable at its opening area with an intermediate element.
  • the intermediate element ensures that a liquid-tight connection between the suction unit and the foldable container is made possible, regardless of the nature of the components.
  • these components are permanently connected or connectable without visible damage or destruction.
  • the intermediate element also serves to produce a non-removable, in particular without visible damage or destruction connection with the suction unit. After filling the baby bottle, the suction unit is permanently connected to the intermediate element. This ensures that a refilling of the bottle is prevented, or is immediately recognizable if the suction unit has already been removed once from the intermediate element. It goes without saying that in this case, the container and the intermediate element must be non-detachably or non-destructively releasably connected to each other.
  • connection of suction unit and intermediate element is thus only by destroying, e.g. Cutting the suction area or cutting the intermediate element with a sharp object solvable. At least one forcible release of the connection leaves visible traces on the intermediate element or on the suction unit.
  • the intermediate element is more dimensionally stable than the foldable container, or as the portion of the foldable container, with which the connection is received, so usually the opening area of the container.
  • Dimensionally stable means that the intermediate element in the hand of the user has a strength which ensures the maintenance of the external shape and the maintenance of the flow opening.
  • the intermediate element is shaping the connection area and defines the opening area between the foldable container and the suction unit.
  • a liquid-tight and preferably insoluble compound is produced, for example, by gluing or welding between the intermediate element and the foldable container.

  • the suction unit comprises a preferably centrally or centrally arranged suction area.
  • the suction region can also be arranged peripherally, that is to say outside the center of the suction unit.
  • the suction area preferably has a shape and flexibility that are comfortable for the baby, who either adapt to the jaw or simulate a mother's breast.
  • the liquid outlet is preferably shaped so that a discharge of the liquid is possible as soon as the child sucks.
  • the liquid outlet may have "drip-stop" characteristics.
  • the suction area is made of elastic material such as e.g. TPR (thermoplastic) or EVA made.
  • the ring area is used for liquid-tight connection with the intermediate element and thus with the foldable container. Moreover the function of the annular region is to stiffen the transition region between the container and the nipple and to increase the dimensional stability of the intermediate element.
  • the ring area is therefore preferably dimensionally stable, for example, the ring area is made of a dimensionally stable PP (polypropylene).
  • Suction units may be provided with a specific liquid outlet which is particularly suitable for the discharge of liquids of certain viscosity, for defined quantities of liquid or for the suction power of children of a certain age.
  • the suction unit may comprise a Vario system, which allows the selection and adjustment of different liquid outlets.
  • the suction area and the ring area are integrally formed.
  • the term one-piece is to be understood as meaning that suction area and ring area are inseparably connected respectively can only be separated by destruction or damage.
  • the two parts have been joined together in the production, in particular welded, glued or sprayed.
  • the suction unit can also be produced from a material in one casting, wherein subsequently the ring area is hardened and stiffened.
  • the one-piece design makes it easier to use when assembling the bottle and reduces the number of components.
  • a holding element for gripping the disposable baby bottle is provided on the intermediate element.
  • the bottle has a holding element as an additional grip surface, on which the user who holds the bottle for feeding, they can touch the same without exerting pressure on the container becomes and this deforms or liquid is forced out.
  • the gripping surface can be formed by the intermediate element and enlarged by the holding element.
  • the retaining element is attached to the intermediate element, either integral therewith or attached thereto as a separate component.
  • the annular region is substantially disc-shaped for stiffening the intermediate element.
  • the disc-shaped annular region portion is preferably approximately in a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the baby bottle.
  • the intermediate element is additionally stiffened by the rigid annular region when the suction unit is connected to the intermediate element. This prevents deformation of the intermediate element caused by radial forces when holding the bottle on the intermediate element.
  • the disk-shaped annular region portion is advantageously at least partially on the end face of the intermediate element and thus forms a seal between the intermediate element and suction unit.
  • the annular region has a fastening ring, which is designed such that it can be positively and / or non-positively engaged or snapped into a ring slot arranged on the end face of the intermediate element.
  • the connection should not only be liquid-tight, but must also be produced in a few simple steps.
  • the fastening ring forms together with the more central resp. ring-shaped annular area an angle of preferably around 90 °.
  • the fastening ring has at least one resilient snap-lock element, which engages when closing on a counterpart which is provided on the intermediate element, in particular in a ring slot on the end face of the intermediate element.
  • the arrangement could also be reversed, ie fastening ring with snap-lock element on the end face of the intermediate element and annular slot on the ring area.
  • the one-piece suction unit is preferably formed as an injection molded part, a pressing process part or a transfer molding process part.
  • the foldable container comprises a folding bellows extending in a longitudinal direction, which has a plurality of foldable ring sections for stiffening the folding bellows, wherein the folding bellows is foldable or harmonic-like in the longitudinal direction.
  • the foldable ring sections stiffen the bellows, so that the container is not pressed in the radial direction when holding.
  • the ring sections resp. Wrinkles of the bellows run in usually parallel to the opening surface and the bottom of the foldable container. In certain applications, however, it could also run at a different angle to the opening area.
  • the ring sections preferably each have two different length wrinkle surfaces, which are each bounded by a fold edge. Due to the different length wrinkles surfaces is made possible that the container can remain relatively stable in a folded position and in an unfolded position of use. Of course, it is also possible to fold a part of the ring sections together and leave a part unfolded. The volume of the container can thereby be adapted to the level of the container.
  • the foldable container can also have fold surfaces that spiral around the longitudinal axis.
  • the spiral or helical wrinkle surfaces form contiguous regions on the inside of which the liquid can run.
  • the length of the wrinkle surfaces may vary only minimally or even be identical. This makes it possible to achieve a more compact form in the folded state.
  • the lower closed end of the foldable container is opposite to its opening area.
  • this ring section stiffer than the overlying Ring sections may be, this ring portion preferably has a greater wall thickness than the other ring sections.
  • the bellows can be bent from its unfolded position, so that the bellows has a curved shape and remains in this position, that is, the ring sections have folded and unfolded sectors.
  • one or more ventilation valves are arranged on the suction unit.
  • the valves are preferably one-way valves that allow air to flow only into the baby bottle to equalize the negative pressure created when sucking at the fluid outlet.
  • the valves are designed so that no liquid escapes through them.
  • the foldable container is glued or welded to the intermediate element.
  • Particularly suitable is a compound produced by ultrasonic welding.
  • the connection is possible, for example, by direct injection of different injection plastics.
  • the foldable container preferably has no fold surfaces at the opening region, at which connection to the intermediate element can take place.

  • a further aspect of the invention relates to a system comprising a disposable baby bottle with a foldable container, an intermediate element and a suction unit, and further comprising a cup-shaped container for receiving the, in particular folded, disposable baby bottle, wherein the cup-like container and the intermediate element in shape and / or dimensions are adapted so that the cup-like container can be releasably applied from an underside of the disposable baby bottle for, in particular complete, receiving the disposable baby bottle as well as from an upper side of the disposable baby bottle in an inverted position to protect the suction unit mounted on the intermediate element.
  • the disposable baby bottle can therefore be stored in the cup-like container, in particular before its first use.
  • the inner volume of the foldable container is preferably reduced, for example by virtue of the foldable container being bellows-like folded up.
  • a foldable container made of a baggy material can also be rolled up or otherwise compressed in the cup-like container.

  • the annular slot 7 has an inwardly projecting edge 33, which can form a latching connection with the snap-lock element 26 of the fastening ring 14 on the end face 27 of the intermediate element 13.
  • the hook-shaped snap-lock element 20 When inserting the fastening ring 14 into the annular slot 7, the hook-shaped snap-lock element 20 is pressed by an edge 33 against the fastening ring 14. As soon as the snap-lock element 20 has passed the edge 33, the snap-lock element 26 engages in an undercut 34 of the edge 33 and the suction unit 3 is thus permanently connected to the intermediate element 13 without visible damage or destruction.
  • the end face 27 is provided in this example with a sealing lip 28 which bears sealingly against the inner side of the flexible suction region 4.
  • Figures 7a and 7b show a cup-shaped container 15 with a cylindrically shaped connection portion 18 and then the stop 19.
  • the stopper 19 follows a conically tapering down trained area of the cup-like container 15, which is provided for receiving the bellows (not shown here ).
  • the cup-like container 15 has on the side inner wall 21 a volume measurement 25.
  • the cup-like container 15 in Figures 8a and 8b in contrast to the cup-like container according to Figure 5b on its inner side wall 21 has a circumferential bead 22.
  • the bead 22 is shown in greater detail in FIG. 8c.
  • the bead 22 is shown here as a bead 22 which runs over the entire inner side surface 21 and serves as a connection means for the foldable container.
  • the folded disposable baby bottle 1 is mounted in the cup-like container 15.
  • the suction unit 3 is stored space-saving in an inverted position on the intermediate element 13.
  • the circumferential bead 22 on the inner side wall 21 of the cup-like container 15 engages over a lowermost fold edge 8 'and forms a detachable connection between cup-like container 15 and the foldable container 2.
  • the longer fold surfaces 12 are below, the shorter fold surfaces 12' above the outer fold edges 8.
  • the folded edges 8, 8 ' form a barb-like surface.
  • the resistance of the folding edge 8 'opposite the bead 22 is thereby increased.
  • the cup-like container 15 in Figures 9a and 9b has on its inner side wall 21 a circumferential bead 22 analogous to Figures 8a / 8b.
  • the side inner wall 21 has a conically tapered, inwardly angled side wall portion 35.
  • the conically inwardly angled side wall 35 of the foldable container is not only detachably connected by the bead 22 but also by the clamping action of the tapered side inner wall 35. This results in a firmer connection between cup-like container 15 and the foldable container 2.
  • the tapered side inner wall 35 preferably directly adjoins the bead 22.
  • Figure 9d shows that the foldable container is connected not only to the bead 22 but also through the tapered sidewall portion 35 to the cup-like container.
  • the cup-like container 15 clamps a ring section 11 firmly.
  • the disposable baby bottle 1 of Figures 10a and 10b corresponds to the embodiment shown in the previous figures.
  • the cup-like container 15 in FIGS. 10a and 10b has a rib 23 at the foot of the side inner wall 21.
  • the rib 23 extends parallel to the longitudinal axis 10 (which defines the longitudinal direction) from the bottom of the cup-like container 15 along the side inner wall 21 to a length which corresponds approximately to the height of a foldable annular portion 11.
  • the rib 23 extends from the bottom of the cup-like container 15 along the side inner wall 21 in the longitudinal direction.
  • FIG. 10d shows three ribs 23 which are each arranged offset by 120 ° on the side inner wall 21 in the bottom area. Thereby, the lowermost ring portion (not shown in FIG. 10d) in the cup-like container 15 can be clamped.
  • the cup-like container 15 according to FIG. 11 is uniformly tapered conically from top to bottom in the example shown here.
  • the clamping action between side inner wall 21 and bellows 9 thus concentrates on the lower region of the cup-like container 15 and is additionally reinforced by the bead 22.
  • the side inner wall could also have a stop (not shown) on which the intermediate element could rest.
  • FIG. 12 shows a cup-shaped container 15 which, in contrast to the cup-type container according to FIG. 11, has a continuous cylindrical shape from the upper edge 17 to the bottom.
  • FIGS. 13a and 13b show a second example of a disposable baby bottle 101 according to the invention.
  • the lowermost ring section 111 is designed here as a non-foldable ring section, which is more dimensionally stable / stiffer than the other ring sections 11.
  • the wall of the ring portion 111 is thicker than the other ring portions 11 formed.
  • the ring portion has no folding edges here and is curved in cross-section and not shaped as pointed in the ring sections 11. Of course, other forms are conceivable.
  • the ring portion 111 is clamped in the tapered side wall portion 35 and this results in a better clamping effect with the cup-like container 15.
  • FIG. 14 a shows a cup-like container 15, which has a circumferential constriction 37 at the foot, which as shown in FIG 14b illustrated with the lowermost ring portion 111 of the foldable container 2 of the disposable baby bottle 101 forms a snap and / or clamp connection.
