Definitions

  • the invention relates to a teat of a soft elastic material.
  • Teats serve the nutrition of infants and toddlers.
  • Known teat cups have a hollow teat nipple and a peripheral fastening edge for fixing to a bottle opening on a drinking bottle. Since the attachment edge has a larger cross-section than the nipple, between the nipple and the attachment edge, a hollow, extending from the nipple to the mounting edge transition region exists.
  • the nipple has a drinking hole in the end, through which liquid can escape. In the transition area is often a vent valve with a valve slot.
  • the teat is fixed by means of a screw ring at the mouth edge of the bottle.
  • 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.
  • the child can remove the liquid or other flowable food filled into the drinking bottle by sucking on the nipple. This occurs Food through the drinking hole and it takes place via a vent valve pressure equalization with the environment instead.
  • the known teat have the disadvantage that they allow only a small flow of food to be administered. If the drinking hole is too large, the liquid can flow out unhindered without the child doing any sucking 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.
  • the DE 20 2005 014 621 U1 describes a teat with two parallel aligned drinking slots, which have the same distance from each other anywhere between the outside and inside of the nipple.
  • the area between the drinking slits over the entire wall thickness is close to the adjacent areas of the nipple and the teat seals very well.
  • the area between the drinking slits is raised, whereby an outflow cross section is only released when the area between the drinking slits is raised beyond the outside of the nipple. This requires a high suction work.
  • the present invention seeks to provide a teat, which allows a higher flow of the food to be administered already at relatively low suction pressure while maintaining a reliable seal.
  • the sucker according to the invention is achieved by the two parallel drinking slots whose distance decreases from the outside to the inside of the nipple, an increased flow of the administered beverage or food.
  • sucking namely, the region of the nipple nipple located between the slits lifts off somewhat, so that large, continuous gaps form at the two slits, through which the liquid can escape.
  • considerable deformation of the slot is required so that a corresponding amount of food can escape. This is achieved only by very high suction pressure.
  • parallel slots which have a constant distance from the outside to the inside of the nipple, although the area between the slots can also be raised.
  • the teat is particularly suitable for introducing children to drinking from a cup.
  • the nipple nipple is preferably arranged eccentrically with respect to the fastening edge, as known in conventional drinking cups.
  • the two drinking slots are inclined at an angle to each other.
  • the angle is for example in the range above 0 ° to 180 °. It is preferably in the range of 5 ° to 90 °.
  • the slots can be introduced by suitable blades or cutting devices in the teat.
  • the teat can be made of a suitable soft elastic material. According to one embodiment, it is made of natural rubber or silicone or thermoplastic elastomer (TPE).
  • TPE thermoplastic elastomer
  • the teat can be made for example by injection molding and subsequent incorporation of the slots by means of knives.
  • the teat has a vent valve.
  • the ventilation valve at least a valve slot extending from the outside of the transition region to the inside of the transition region.
  • the ventilation valve is present in a dent of the transition region.
  • the indentation in the outer edge of the dome-shaped transition region is present.
  • the ventilation valve is arranged diametrically opposite the nipple in the outer edge of the transition region.
  • the fastening edge has a fastening flange.
  • the fastening edge is annular.
  • the teat 1 has a hollow nipple 2, which is connected via a hollow transition region 3 with a mounting edge 4 for fixing to the opening portion of a bottle.
  • the nipple nipple 2 has an oval, tapered to an outer end portion 5 towards cross-section.
  • the side 6 of the nipple nipple 2, which is closest to the attachment edge 4, has a smaller curvature than the opposite side 7 of the nipple, which is farther from the attachment edge 4.
  • the side 7 of the nipple 2 runs in a concave curve 8 to the transition region 3 out.
  • the outer end portion 5 of the nipple 2 is curved outwards, i. is dome-shaped.
  • two drinking slots 9, 10, which are inclined to each other in a vertical section.
  • the angle between the two drinking slits 9, 10 is about 20 ° to 30 °.
  • the drinking slots 9, 10 extend from the outside 11 to the inside 12 of the nipple. Due to the angle between the two drinking slits 9, 10, the distance from each other decreases from the outside 11 to the inside 12 of the nipple 2.
  • the drinking slots 9, 10 are arranged parallel to each other.
  • Each drinking slot 9, 10 crosses another drinking slot 13, 14.
  • the other drinking slots 13, 14 are also arranged parallel to each other. They extend at a constant distance from each other from the outside 11 to the inside 12 of the nipple nipple.
  • the further drinking slots 13, 14 are shorter than the drinking slots 9, 10, to which they are respectively assigned.
  • the further drinking slots 13, 14 are arranged in the vicinity of remote ends of the drinking slots 9, 10.
  • the nipple 2 gradually goes over into the transition region 3.
  • the teat 1 gradually expands to the larger diameter of the fastening edge 4.
  • the transition region 3 has a peripheral, outer edge 15. Between the bead-like edge 15 and the fastening edge 4, a circumferential constriction 16 is present.
  • an indentation 17 In the region of the peripheral outer edge 15 is located diametrically opposite the eccentric with respect to the mounting edge 4 arranged nipple 2 an indentation 17. In the indentation 17, a vent valve 18 is present.
  • the vent valve 18 has two intersecting valve slots 19, 20.
  • the valve slots 19, 20 extend from the outside to the inside of the transition region 3.
  • the fastening edge 4 comprises a substantially planar mounting flange 21, which has a peripheral bead 22 at the upper edge.
  • a cavity 23 is present, which extends from the opening 24 surrounded by the attachment edge 4 through the transition region 3 and the nipple 2 to the drinking slits 9, 10 and the other drinking slits 13, 14.
  • the teat 1 is attached by means of a screw ring, not shown, at the edge of an opening of a drinking bottle, not shown, which is filled with liquid food.
  • the bottle When taking the food, the bottle is held so that the nipple 2 points diagonally downwards. Through the two drinking slots 9, 10 and the other drinking slots 13, 14, a particularly high flow is possible when the infant sucks on the nipple. Furthermore, the teat 1 by the wedge-shaped region between the drinking slots 9, 10 closes off particularly tight. Also favors the design and sizing the vent valve 16, the pressure compensation and thus a high flow.
