Description

Trinksauger teats
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen Trinksauger aus einem elastischen Material.The invention relates to a teat of an elastic material.
Trinksauger dienen der Ernährung von Säuglingen und Kleinkindern. Bekannte Trinksauger weisen einen hohlen Saugernippel auf und einen umlaufenden Befestigungsrand zum Festlegen einer Flaschenöffnung einer Trinkflasche. Da der Befestigungsrand einen größeren Querschnitt als der Saugernippel aufweist, ist zwischen dem Saugernippel und dem Befestigungsrand ein hohler, sich grundsätzlich vom Saugernippel zum Befestigungsrand erweiternder Übergangsbereich vorhanden. Der Saugernippel hat im Endbereich ein Trinkloch, durch das Flüssigkeit austreten kann. Im Übergangsbereich befindet sich ein Lüftungsventil mit einem Ventilschlitz. Der Trinksauger wird mittels eines Schraubringes am Mündungsrand der Trinkflasche befestigt. Hierzu wird der Trinksauger durch den Schraubring hindurchgesteckt, bis der Befestigungsrand unterhalb eines Ringflansches des Schraubringes sitzt. Der Schraubring wird mit einem Außengewinde der Trinkflasche verschraubt, wobei der Befestigungsrand zwischen Öffnungsrand der Flaschenöffnung und Schraubring eingeklemmt wird. Es ist auch bekannt, das Lüftungsventil durch geeignete Kanäle im Sitzbereich des Befestigungsrandes am Öffnungsrand der Trinkflasche auszubilden. Das Kind kann die in die Trinkflasche gefüllte Flüssigkeit oder andere fließ- fähige Nahrung durch Saugen am Saugernippel entnehmen. Hierbei tritt die Nahrung durch das Trinkloch aus und es findet über das Lüftungsventil ein Druckausgleich mit der Umgebung statt.Teats serve the nutrition of infants and toddlers. Known teat cups have a hollow teat nipple and a circumferential fastening edge for fixing a bottle opening of a drinking bottle. Since the attachment edge has a larger cross section than the nipple, between the nipple and the attachment edge is a hollow, basically from the nipple to the mounting edge expanding transition region available. The nipple has a drinking hole in the end, through which liquid can escape. In the transition area there is a ventilation valve with a valve slot. The teat is fixed by means of a screw ring at the mouth edge of the bottle. For this purpose, the teat is inserted through the threaded ring until the mounting edge sits below an annular flange of the threaded ring. The screw ring is screwed to an external thread of the drinking bottle, wherein the fastening edge between the opening edge of the bottle opening and screw ring is clamped. It is also known to form the vent valve by suitable channels in the seating area of the attachment edge at the opening edge of the bottle. The child can remove the liquid or other fluid food that has been filled into the drinking bottle by sucking on the nipple. Here, the food exits through the drinking hole and it takes place via the vent valve, a pressure equalization with the environment instead.
Die bekannten Trinksauger haben den Nachteil, daß sie nur einen geringen Durchfluß der zu verabreichenden Nahrung ermöglichen. Wird das Trinkloch zu groß ausgeführt, kann die Flüssigkeit ungehindert ausströmen, ohne daß das Kind Saugarbeit verrichtet. Infolgedessen wird das Kind nicht in der Nahrungsaufnahme geübt und kann es zum Verschütten der Nahrung kommen. Die Nahrungsaufnahme wird ferner durch das Lüftungsventil eingeschränkt, das den Druckausgleich begrenzt.The known teat have the disadvantage that they allow only a small flow of food to be administered. If the drinking hole is made too large, the liquid can flow freely without the child performing suction work. As a result, the child is not trained in food intake and it may come to spilling food. The food intake is further limited by the vent valve, which limits the pressure equalization.
Aus der WO 2004/013001 A2 ist ein auslaufgeschützter Trinkbecher bekannt, bei dem der Saugnippel eine Vertiefung mit parallelen Trinkschlitzen aufweist. Wenn der Benutzer auf die Außenwände des Saugernippels beißt, drücken deren Innenseiten gegen den Boden der Vertiefung, wodurch die im Boden der Vertiefung angeordneten Trinkschlitze geöffnet werden. Dieser auslaufgeschützte Trinkbecher ist nicht für Säuglinge und Kleinkinder geeignet, da diese nicht in der Lage sind, die Trinkschlitze durch Zusammenbeißen des Saugnippels zu öffnen. Außerdem unterstützt dieser Trinkbecher nicht die natürliche Saugarbeit des Säuglings bzw. Kleinkindes. Davon ausgehend liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Trinksauger aus einem elastischen Material zu schaffen, der einen erhöhten Durchfluß der zu verabreichenden Nahrung ermöglicht, ohne den natürlichen Saugvorgang zu beeinträchtigen, und der dennoch wirksam ein unbeabsichtigtes Verschütten von Nahrung verhindert.From WO 2004/013001 A2 an outlet-protected drinking cup is known in which the teat has a recess with parallel drinking slots. As the user bites on the outer walls of the nipple, their insides press against the bottom of the recess, thereby opening the drinking slots located in the bottom of the recess. This leak-proof drinking cup is not suitable for infants and young children because they are unable to open the drinking slots by clenching the teat. In addition, this drinking cup does not support the natural sucking work of the infant or toddler. On this basis, the present invention seeks to provide a teat of an elastic material that allows increased flow of food to be administered without affecting the natural suction, and yet effectively prevents accidental spillage of food.
Die Aufgabe wird durch einen Trinksauger mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen des Trinksaugers sind in den Unteransprüchen angegeben.The object is achieved by a teat with the features of claim 1. Advantageous embodiments of the teat are specified in the dependent claims.
Der erfindungsgemäße Trinksauger aus einem elastischen Material hatThe teat according to the invention of an elastic material has
- einen hohlen Saugernippel,- a hollow nipple,
- einen umlaufenden Befestigungsrand zum Festlegen an der Flaschenöffnung einer Trinkflasche,a circumferential fixing edge for fixing to the bottle opening of a drinking bottle,
- einen hohlen Übergangsbereich zwischen Befestigungsrand und Saugernippel,a hollow transition region between the fastening edge and the nipple,
- mindestens einen in Längsrichtung des Saugernippels gerichteten, von der Außenseite bis zur Innenseite des Saugernippels erstreckten Trinkschlitz in einem nach außen gewölbten äußeren Endbereich des Saugernippels und- At least one directed in the longitudinal direction of the nipple, extending from the outside to the inside of the nipple drinking slot in an outwardly curved outer end portion of the nipple nipple and
- mindestens ein Lüftungsventil mit einem Ventilschlitz, der von der Außenwand des Übergangsbereiches bis zur Innenwand des Übergangsbereiches erstreckt ist.- At least one vent valve with a valve slot which is extending from the outer wall of the transition region to the inner wall of the transition region.
Bei dem erfindungsgemäßen Trinksauger wird durch den Trinkschlitz im Saugernippel ein erhöhter Durchfluß der zu verabreichenden Nahrung gewährleistet. Dies ist bereits bei einem einzigen Trinkschlitz der Fall, der geeignet bemessen ist, da er ein höheren Durchsatz als ein Trinkloch erlaubt. Da der Trinkschlitz in einem nach außen gewölbten Endbereich des Saugernippels vorhanden ist, erfordert die Nahrungsentnahme die Verrichtung von Saugarbeit. Anders als im Stand der Technik setzt die Nahrungsentnahme nicht das Zusammenbeißen des Saugernippels voraus. Ein hinreichender Druckausgleich ist ebenfalls durch einen geeignet bemessenen Ventilschlitz möglich.In the teat according to the invention is through the drinking slot in the nipple an increased flow of food to be administered guaranteed. This is the case even with a single drinking slot which is suitably sized, since it allows a higher throughput than a drinking hole. Since the drinking slit is present in an outwardly curved end portion of the nipple, the removal of food requires the performance of suction work. Unlike in the prior art, food intake does not require the nipple to clench. Adequate pressure equalization is also possible through a suitably sized valve slot.
Gemäß einer Ausgestaltungen weist der Saugernippel mindestens zwei parallele Trinkschlitze auf. Die parallelen Trinkschlitze gewährleisten einen besonders hohen Durchschluß der zu verabreichenden Nahrung, wenn das Kind an dem Saugernippel saugt.According to one embodiment, the nipple on at least two parallel drinking slots. The parallel drinking slits ensure a particularly high penetration of the food to be administered when the child sucks on the nipple.
Gemäß einer Ausgestaltung ist der mindestens eine Trinkschlitz gradlinig und/oder wellenförmig und/oder zackenförmig. Gradlinige Trinkschlitze sind besonders leicht durch mechanisches Schlitzen des Trinksaugers herstellbar. Wellenförmige oder zackenförmige Trinkschlitze begünstigen einen besonders hohen Durchschluß der zu verabreichenden Nahrung, da Sie auf kleinem Raum mit besonders großer effektiver Länge ausgeführt werden können. Einbezogen in die Erfindung sind ferner Ausführungen, bei denen der Trink- schlitz nur in mindestens einem Teilbereich gradlinig oder wellenförmig oder zackenförmig ist und in mindestens einem weiteren Teilbereich eine andere der vorbezeichneten Formen oder eine andere Form aufweist. Die Erfindung bezieht Ausführungen ein, bei denen der Saugernippel zentral bezüglich des Befestigungsrandes angeordnet ist. Gemäß einer Ausgestaltung ist der Saugernippel exzentrisch bezüglich des Befestigungsrandes angeordnet. Dies begünstigt eine vollständige Nahrungsentnahme aus der Trinkflasche, wenn diese so gedreht wird, daß der Saugernippel unten angeordnet ist. Diese Ausführung ist auch ergonomisch besonders vorteilhaft.According to one embodiment, the at least one drinking slit is rectilinear and / or wave-shaped and / or jagged. Straight-line drinking slits are particularly easy to produce by mechanically slitting the teat. Wavy or serrated drinking slits favor a particularly high penetration of the food to be administered, since they can be carried out in a small space with a particularly large effective length. Embodiments in which the drinking slit is rectilinear or wavy or jagged in at least one subarea and has another of the aforementioned shapes or another shape in at least one further subarea are also included in the invention. The invention relates to embodiments in which the nipple nipple is arranged centrally with respect to the fastening edge. According to one embodiment, the nipple nipple is arranged eccentrically with respect to the fastening edge. This promotes a complete removal of food from the bottle when it is rotated so that the nipple is located below. This design is ergonomically particularly advantageous.
Gemäß einer Ausgestaltung weist der Saugernippel einen sich zum äußeren Ende hin verjüngenden Querschnitt auf. Dies erleichtert insbesondere die Fertigung und ist ergonomisch besonders vorteilhaft. Dies gilt auch für eine weitere Ausgestaltung, gemäß der der Saugernippel einen ovalen Querschnitt aufweist. Ferner gilt dies für eine Ausgestaltung, bei der die eine Seite des Saugernippels, die dem Befestigungsrand am nächsten ist, eine geringere Neigung zur Nippelachse aufweist, als die Seite des Saugernippels, die am weitesten vom Befestigungsrand entfernt ist. Insbesondere aus Gründen der einfachen Herstellung und der Ergonomie weist gemäß einer weiteren Ausgestaltung der Saugernippel auf der vom Befestigungsrand entfernten Seite eine Rundung zum Übergangsbereich hin auf.According to one embodiment, the nipple nipple has a cross-section that tapers towards the outer end. This facilitates in particular the production and is ergonomically particularly advantageous. This also applies to a further embodiment, according to which the nipple has an oval cross-section. Furthermore, this applies to a configuration in which the one side of the nipple nipple that is closest to the fastening edge has a smaller inclination to the nipple axis than the side of the nipple that is farthest from the fastening edge. In particular, for reasons of ease of manufacture and ergonomics, according to a further embodiment of the nipple on the side remote from the fastening edge a rounding to the transition region out.
Damit der Trinksauger im Bereich der Rundung nicht einfällt, trägt die Rundung und wahlweise der angrenzende Übergangsbereich auf der Innenseite eine Rippe.So that the teat does not fall in the area of the rounding, the rounding and optionally the adjacent transition area on the inside carries a rib.
Gemäß einer Ausgestaltung ist der Übergangsbereich kuppeiförmig. Dies ist ebenfalls aus Gründen der leichten Herstellbarkeit und der Ergonomie vorteilhaft. Gemäß einer Ausgestaltung ist zwischen dem Befestigungsrand und dem Übergangsbereich eine umlaufende Einschnürung vorhanden. Hierdurch wird der Trinksauger oberhalb der Einschnürung stabilisiert und an einer übermäßigen Deformation, die die Nahrungsentnahme behindern kann, gehindert.According to one embodiment, the transition region is dome-shaped. This is also advantageous for reasons of ease of manufacture and ergonomics. According to one embodiment, a circumferential constriction exists between the fastening edge and the transition region. As a result, the teat is stabilized above the constriction and prevented from excessive deformation that can hinder the food intake.
Gemäß einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung sind mindestens zwei Lüftungsventile für einen guten Druckausgleich vorhanden.According to an advantageous embodiment, at least two ventilation valves for a good pressure equalization are available.
Gemäß einer Ausgestaltung ist das Lüftungsventil in einer Eindellung des Übergangsbereiches vorhanden. Hierdurch wird insbesondere einem unbeabsichtigten Austritt von Nahrung durch den Ventilschlitz entgegengewirkt. Ferner ist durch die geschützte Unterbringung des Lüftungsventils in der Eindellung ein ungestörtes Arbeiten des Lüftungsventils begünstigt.According to one embodiment, the ventilation valve is present in a dent of the transition region. As a result, in particular an unintentional escape of food through the valve slot is counteracted. Furthermore, the undisturbed working of the ventilation valve is favored by the sheltered accommodation of the ventilation valve in the dent.
Gemäß einer Ausgestaltung ist die Eindellung im äußeren Rand des kuppeiförmigen Übergangsbereiches vorhanden.According to one embodiment, the indentation is present in the outer edge of the dome-shaped transitional area.
Gemäß einer Ausgestaltung ist das Lüftungsventil diametral gegenüber dem Saugernippel im äußeren Rand des Übergangsbereiches angeordnet. Hierdurch wird erreicht, daß das Lüftungsventil bei Anordnung des Saugernippels unten nicht mit Nahrung benetzt wird, so daß ein ungehinderter Druckausgleich möglich ist.According to one embodiment, the vent valve is arranged diametrically opposite the nipple in the outer edge of the transition region. This ensures that the ventilation valve is not wetted at the bottom of the nipple arrangement with food, so that unimpeded pressure equalization is possible.
Gemäß einer Ausgestaltung weist der Befestigungsrand einen Befestigungsflansch auf. Hierdurch wird die abdichtende Festlegung des Befestigungs- randes zwischen Schraubring und Öffhungsrand der Flasche begünstigt. Gemäß einer weiteren Ausgestaltung weist der Befestigungsflansch am inneren Rand einen umlaufenden Wulst auf. Der umlaufende Wulst verhindert in Verbindung mit einem geeigneten Schraubring das ungewollte Herausziehen des Trinksaugers aus dem Schraubring. Mögliche Ausgestaltung an des Trinksaugers mit einem Wulst bzw. einer anderen Verdickung und eines dazu passenden Schraubringes sind in der DE 197 39 91 1 C5 beschrieben, deren Offenbarung insoweit in die vorliegende Anmeldung einbezogen ist.According to one embodiment, the fastening edge has a fastening flange. As a result, the sealing attachment of the fastening randes between screw ring and Öffhungsrand the bottle favors. According to a further embodiment, the mounting flange on the inner edge on a circumferential bead. The circumferential bead prevents in conjunction with a suitable screw ring the unwanted pulling out of the teat from the screw ring. Possible embodiment of the teat with a bead or other thickening and a matching screw ring are described in DE 197 39 91 1 C5, the disclosure of which is included in the present application in this respect.
Gemäß einer weiteren Ausgestaltung ist der Befestigungsrand kreisringförmig.According to a further embodiment, the fastening edge is annular.
Schließlich ist gemäß einer Ausgestaltung der Trinksauger aus Naturkautschuk oder Silikon hergestellt.Finally, according to one embodiment, the teat is made of natural rubber or silicone.
Der Trinksauger ist bevorzugt einteilig aus einem der vorerwähnten Materialien hergestellt. Einbezogen sind aber auch Ausführungen, die aus mehreren, miteinander verbundenen Materialien bestehen.The teat is preferably made in one piece from one of the aforementioned materials. But also included are versions that consist of several interconnected materials.
Der Trinksauger wird bevorzugt aus Naturlatex hergestellt, z. B. im Tauchverfahren mit Aluminiumformen und anschließender Nachbehandlung und Vulkanisation. Die Trink- und Ventilschlitze werden bevorzugt durch mechanisches Schlitzen eingebracht.The teat is preferably made of natural latex, z. B. in the dipping process with aluminum molds and subsequent treatment and vulcanization. The drinking and valve slots are preferably introduced by mechanical slitting.

Between the edge 13 and the mounting edge 4, a circumferential constriction 14 is present.
Im Bereich des umlaufenden äußeren Randes 13 befindet sich diametral gegenüber dem exzentrisch bezüglich des Befestigungsrandes 4 angeordneten Saugernippel 2 eine Eindellung 15. In der Eindellung 15 ist ein Lüftungsventil 16 vorhanden. Das Lüftungsventil 16 weist einen Ventilschlitz 17 auf. Der Ventilschlitz 17 erstreckt sich von der Außenwand 18 bis zur Innenwand 19 des Übergangsbereiches 3.In the region of the peripheral outer edge 13 is located diametrically opposite the eccentric with respect to the mounting edge 4 arranged Saugernippel 2 a dent 15 in the indentation 15, a vent valve 16 is present. The vent valve 16 has a valve slot 17. The valve slot 17 extends from the outer wall 18 to the inner wall 19 of the transition region. 3
Die Rundung 8 weist an der Innenseite eine Rippe 20 auf, die parallel zu den Trinkschlitzen 9, 10 erstreckt ist.The rounding 8 has on the inside a rib 20 which is parallel to the drinking slots 9, 10 extends.
Der Befestigungsrand 4 umfaßt einen Befestigungsflansch 21, der am unteren Rand einen umlaufenden Wulst 22 aufweist.The fastening edge 4 comprises a fastening flange 21, which has a peripheral bead 22 at the lower edge.
Im Inneren des Trinksaugers 1 ist ein Hohlraum 22 vorhanden, der sich von der durch den Befestigungsrand 4 umgrenzten Öffnung 24 durch den Übergangsbereich 3 und den Saugnippel 2 bis zu den Trinkschlitzen 9, 10 erstreckt.Inside the teat 1, a cavity 22 is present, which extends from the opening 24 bounded by the fastening edge 4 through the transition region 3 and the teat 2 to the drinking slits 9, 10.
Bei Benutzung wird der Trinksauger 1 mittels eines nicht gezeigten Schraubringes bei einer nicht gezeigten Trinkflasche befestigt, die mit flüssiger Nahrung gefüllt ist. Die Befestigung ist z. B. ausgebildet, wie in der Fig. 4 der DE 197 39 91 1 C5 gezeigt und in der dazugehörigen Figurenbeschreibung erläutert, deren Offenbarung in die vorliegende Anmeldung einbezogen ist.In use, the teat 1 is attached by means of a screw ring, not shown, to a drinking bottle, not shown, which is filled with liquid food. The attachment is z. B. formed, as shown in FIG. 4th DE 197 39 91 1 C5 and explained in the associated description of the figures, the disclosure of which is incorporated in the present application.
Bei der Nahrungsentnahme wird die Trinkflasche so gehalten, daß der Saugnippel 2 schräg nach unten weist, wobei sich der Saugernippel 2 am unteren Rand der Trinkflasche befindet. Durch die beiden Trinkschlitze 9, 10 wird ein besonders hoher Durchfluß ermöglicht, wenn der Säugling an dem Saugernippel saugt. Auch begünstigt die Gestaltung und Dimensionierung des Lüftungsventils 16 den Druckausgleich und damit ebenfalls einen hohen Durchfluß. When taking food, the bottle is held so that the nipple 2 is inclined downwards, with the nipple 2 is located at the bottom of the bottle. Through the two drinking slots 9, 10, a particularly high flow is enabled when the infant sucks on the nipple. Also, the design and dimensioning of the vent valve 16 favors the pressure balance and thus also a high flow.
