Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a bottle.
  • such a bottle for example breastfeeding is of the type comprising a lower body in the form of a bottle having an upper axial filler neck, a teat having a lower radial annular flange applied on an upper annular bearing surface of the neck, and a nipple fixing ring on the body which comprises a radial annular flange which is traversed by the nipple and which extends opposite the upper face of the collar of the nipple and which comprises a cylindrical annular side skirt which s' extends axially downwards and which is removably attached to the neck by fixing means.
  • the fixing means of the ring on the neck or neck of the lower body are constituted by a thread formed on the outer side wall of the neck and by a complementary tapping formed in the inner side wall vis-à-vis the side skirt of the fixing ring.
  • the collar of the nipple also called heel of the nipple, is immobilized between the upper edge of the neck and the portion vis-à-vis the underside of the flange of the ring. fixation.
  • Over-tightening may cause at least partial concealment of the different air intakes generally provided on the nipple.
  • the bottle is "blocked" and the liquid in the bottle, for example breast milk, no longer flows through the pacifier.
  • Excessive screwing can also have the effect of deforming or even deteriorating the collar of the nipple, which then adopts a crushed and deformed shape which prevents the entry of air into the zones provided, for this purpose, by inducing moreover leaking fluid
  • the axial pressure of the flange of the fixing ring on the upper face of the collar of the nipple is then no longer angularly distributed evenly over the entire periphery of the nipple.
  • the invention proposes a bottle of the type mentioned above, characterized in that the bayonet type fixing means comprise at least one lug which extends radially from the internal concave lateral face of the lateral skirt, or from the external convex side face of the neck, and at least one "L" groove, adapted to receive the lug, which is formed in the external convex side face of the neck, or in the internal concave side face of the side skirt respectively, opposite the lateral concave lateral face of the lateral skirt, or facing the external convex lateral face of the neck respectively, and which comprises a first section of vertical orientation whose upper free end is opening axially upwards to allow the introduction and / or axial extraction of the lug, and a second portion of horizontal orientation which extends angularly in an area of the convex outer side wall of the neck, or the inner concave side face of the side skirt, from the lower end of the first section until 'at its blind end, and in which is received the lug
  • a bottle 10 which consists of three components comprising a lower body or bottle 12, an upper flexible nipple 14 and an upper fixing ring 16.
  • the assembly has a vertical central axis of symmetry A-A.
  • the lower body or bottle has an upper axial filler neck 18 whose average diameter is smaller than that of the main lower part of the body.
  • the neck ends axially with a free end upper edge 20 which extends continuously in a horizontal or radial plane.
  • the upper edge 20 has, in section by an axial plane, a convex rounded profile.
  • the lower body 12 with its upper neck 18 is for example made by molding rigid or semi rigid plastic material.
  • the upper end of the free end 22 of the neck 18 constitutes an upper zone of the neck which has a reduced radial thickness with respect to the substantially constant thickness of the wall of the body 12 and the neck 18.
  • the neck 18 is delimited laterally by a concave cylindrical inner side wall 21 and by a side wall outer cylindrical convex 24 which determine between them the axial thickness "e" of the neck 18 and which delimit between them a section or lower zone 23 of the neck 18.
  • the two upper zones 22 of reduced axial thickness and lower 23 of greater axial thickness "e" are interconnected by an outer chamfer 25.
  • the convex outer cylindrical lateral face of the neck 18 thus has a stepped profile comprising the first upper section 22 which is delimited axially by the upper free end edge 20 and the second consecutive lower section 23 whose outer diameter is greater than the outer diameter of the first section 22.
  • the neck 18 comprises, arranged symmetrically and diametrically opposite, two grooves 26 of L-shaped profile which are formed, here integrally molded, in the convex outer side wall 24 of the lower zone 23 of the neck 18.
  • Each groove 26 is thus open radially outwards in the lateral face 24.
  • Each groove 26 comprises a first section 28 which is here of vertical axial orientation and whose upper free end opens axially upwards. More specifically, given the different axial thicknesses and the axial depth of the different sections of the groove 26, which is constant here all along the groove, each first axial section 28 opens essentially upwards at the connecting chamfer 25 between the two upper and lower zones 23 of the neck 18.
  • Each groove 26 comprises a second section 30 which is here of horizontal orientation and which extends angularly from the lower axial end 32 of the vertical section 28 on a determined alpha angular sector.
  • Each second horizontal section 30 is defined angularly by a blind end base 34.
  • Each second horizontal section 30 extends angularly in the thickness of the second lower section 23 of the neck 18.
  • Each "L” groove thus consists of two vertical consecutive sections 28 and 30 horizontal.
  • Each groove 26 has, along its two sections 28 and 30, a constant width such that each groove 26 is, in all its length, adapted to receive and to be traversed by a complementary locking lug, which will be described later, which cooperates with a locking groove 26 associated to form means bayonet type fixing and locking the ring 16 on the neck 18 of the body 12.
  • the teat 14 is, in known manner, made by molding in a flexible material and consists essentially of a free end upper portion 36 provided with a series of holes or holes 38 allowing the baby or infant to suck and absorb the liquid contained in the bottle, and a lower portion 40 in the form of a radial annular flange which extends laterally outwardly.
  • the lower flange 40 is delimited vertically downwards by a lower horizontal face 42 which is able to come into abutment, vertically downwards, and to be clamped against the upper free end edge 20 of the neck 18 which constitutes a bearing surface. support for the collar.
  • the flange 40 is also delimited vertically upwards by an upper horizontal face 44. Finally, the flange 40 is delimited laterally by its outer peripheral edge 46.
  • the teat 14, and for example the lower face 42 of its flange 40 comprises means allowing the circulation and the passage of the air, from the outside to the inside, between the upper edge 20 and the collar 40.
  • the upper fixing and locking ring 16 is a rigid or semi-rigid plastic molded part and is essentially constituted by a radial annular upper flange 50 and a lateral skirt 52.
  • the upper flange 50 extends substantially in a radial plane, from the outside to the inside and is delimited radially by an inner circular edge 54 of rounded profile which allows the passage and which is traversed by the upper part 36 of the
  • the upper flange 50 is delimited vertically downwards by a lower radial face 56 which is adapted to cooperate with the portion facing the upper face 44 of the flange 40 of the nipple 14 to tighten the flange. 40 axially between the flange 50 and the upper free end edge 20 of the neck 18.
  • the lateral skirt 52 is of substantially constant thickness, and substantially equal to the thickness of the upper flange 50.
  • the skirt 52 has a stepped profile, that is to say that it comprises a first upper section 58 of smaller outer diameter which is delimited radially by a concave cylindrical inner side face 60, and has a second lower section 62 of larger outer diameter which is delimited radially by a concave inner concave side surface 64 slightly frustoconical.
  • lateral skirt 52 is delimited vertically downwards by a lower free end edge 66.
  • the ring 16 here comprises, in a manner complementary to the two "L" grooves 26, two diametrically opposite locking lugs 68.
  • the number of lugs, and grooves, is preferably between 2 and 4, and they are preferably angularly distributed uniformly.
  • Each locking pin 68 is a generally cylindrical pin and radially oriented and its outer diameter is slightly less than the width of the complementary groove 26 so that it can be introduced and circulate there. In order to give it a certain radial elasticity, each cylindrical locking pin 68 has an opening inner recess 70.
  • Each locking pin 68 extends radially inwardly from the concave side face 64 and is arranged at the lower right edge 66.
  • the concave inner side face 64 of the lower portion 62 of the lateral skirt 52 of the ring 16 comprises a series of centering ribs 72, which are here six in number distributed angularly in a regular manner.
  • Each centering rib 72 is here a "godron” which is made integrally by molding and which is formed in relief, radially inwards, in the concave face 64.
  • Each centering rib 72 is in the form of a vertical bar of convex rounded profile.
  • the inside diameter D1 common to the six radial centering ribs 72 is substantially equal to the outside diameter D2 of the lower zone 23 of greater outside diameter of the neck 18.
  • the radial length of the locking lugs 68 and the radial depth of the locking grooves 26 are such that they do not interfere with the function of radial centering provided by the cooperation of the ribs 72 with the convex side face 24 so as to ensure the existence, substantially over the entire periphery, of the radial clearance J which allows the free flow of air between the neck 18 and the side skirt 52 of the locking ring 16.
  • the establishment and locking of the ring 16 on the neck 18 is performed, after having put in place the nipple 14 (either resting on the upper free end edge 20 of the neck 18, or inside of the ring 16) by introducing axially from top to bottom simultaneously the two locking lugs 68 in the vertical sections 28 of the grooves vis-à-vis 26.
  • the "L" conformation of the locking grooves 26 thus makes it possible to automatically control the axial clamping of the radial flange 40 of the nipple 14 between the upper edge 20 and the lower face 56 of the flange 50 of the locking ring 16. conformation also makes it possible to limit the angular stroke of locking of the ring 16 on the neck 18, thus avoiding any phenomenon of excessive friction between the surfaces in contact with the flange 40, the neck 18 and the ring 16.
  • the presence of the centering ribs ensures, during the axial insertion of the ring 16 on the neck 18, a mutual automatic radial centering of these two components and therefore the presence of the radial clearance "J".
  • the establishment of the ring 16 axially on the neck 18 is particularly facilitated by the presence of the chamfer 25 which provides a self-centering effect of the ribs 72 as soon as their lower end edges 73 come into contact with the bevel 25.
  • each horizontal section 30 has a particular circular rounded profile which is generally complementary to the convex cylindrical outer profile of the locking pin 68.
  • this rounded blind end 34 is slightly offset axially upwards with respect to the substantially horizontal upper edge 31 of the section 30 so that, under the effect of the elasticity resulting from the axial compression of the radial flange 42 the nipple 14, the corresponding locking finger 68 comes at the end of the angular stroke, housed there to provide the user with a tactile sensation of limit switch and to provide an additional blocking effect avoiding accidental unlocking.
  • the rounded profile also provides a ramp effect that facilitates the angular unlocking and disassembly of the ring.
  • the upper outlet end 29 of the vertical section 28 has a flared profile "V" to facilitate the axial introduction from top to bottom of a corresponding locking pin 68.
  • the invention is also not limited to the numbers of locking lugs, locking grooves and centering ribs which have just been described.
  • the body and the locking ring may be made, in particular by molding, in any suitable material and for example in thermoplastic and / or thermosetting plastics.
  • the invention is particularly adapted and easy to use because the triangular outer shapes facilitate the identification of the angular position of the ring relative to the body.
