Definitions

• the present invention relates to sterilising apparatus.
• the present invention relates to portable sterilisers for sterilising items using sterilising fluids.
• Sterilisers for sterilising items using sterilising fluids are known. Generally they comprise a container or receptacle (for example a bucket) into which are place items to be sterilised (for example baby feeding bottles, teats and other baby feeding paraphernalia) and a sterilising fluid (for example Milton (RTM) solution). The items are left in the receptacle until the items are sterilised.
• a disadvantage of the known sterilising apparatus is that, once filled with the sterilising fluid, the receptacle is generally not portable, as fluid may leak out as it sloshes around the receptacle during transportation. This is not convenient for the user, as it may be required to move the receptacle from one area of a household to another (or even from one property to another) once filled with sterilising fluid.
• the present invention provides a portable steriliser for sterilising an item using sterilising fluids, comprising: a container for receiving an item to be sterilised and for receiving a sterilising fluid a removable insert comprising an absorbent material for absorbing a sterilising fluid; and a removable lid engageable with the container, wherein the removable insert is shaped to receive an item to be sterilised.
• the container does not need to be filled with a sterilising fluid to sterilise the items. Instead, only an amount of sterilising fluid sufficient to saturate the absorbent material is required to enable sterilising of the item placed in the container. As such, this reduces this risk of excess fluid spilling out of the container during opening of the container to remove a sterilised item.
• the shape of the removable insert allows the item to be sterilised to be held firmly within the container, and to ensure that a maximum surface area of the item is in contact with the absorbent insert, allowing sterilisation of the item.
• the removable insert has an exterior shape that corresponds with an interior shape of the container. In other preferred embodiments, the removable insert is shaped to receive a child's dummy. In further preferred embodiments, the absorbent material comprises an absorbent sponge or foam material.
• the removable insert comprises two or more separable portions.
• at least one of the separable portions is shaped to receive an item to be sterilised.
• the insert having two separable layers enables easier cleaning of the insert after use. It has been found that after repeated use, debris removed from the item to be sterilised congregates in the recess in the insert. The debris is removed from the insert by separating the upper and lower layers, and either washing or wiping the two portions before re-assembling them.
• the two separable layers also reduce the risk of the sterilising solution splashing out of the container onto the user during insertion of the insert, since less volume of fluid is displaced for each separable portion when compared to inserting a single piece having the same volume as the two layers combined.
• the removable lid provides a substantially waterproof seal when engaged with the container.
• the removable lid is in a press-fit or threaded engagement with the container when engaged.
• the removable lid is a removable inner lid.
• the steriliser may comprise a removable outer lid engageable with the container via a press-fit or threaded engagement.
• the removable lid is a removable outer lid.
• the removable outer lid comprises an O-ring around an inner circumferential edge.
• the container comprises an O-ring around an outer circumferential edge.
• the removable outer lid comprises a handle or attachment means for attaching the steriliser to other items.
• the removable lid comprises one or more protrusions extending from a surface, the protrusions being arranged to contact an item to be sterilised when the removable lid is engaged with the container.
• the protrusion ensures that as much of the item to be sterilised as possible is in contact with the insert, and therefore the sterilising solution.
• the present invention also provides a portable steriliser for sterilising items using sterilising fluids, comprising: a container for receiving items to be sterilised and for receiving a sterilising fluid; and a removable outer lid engageable with the container to provide a substantially waterproof seal when engaged with the container, wherein the removable outer lid comprises a pressure valve configured to close to provide a substantially waterproof seal when an internal pressure of the container is below a pressure threshold, and configured to open when an internal pressure of the container is above the pressure threshold.
• the valve in the lid opens when a pressure in the container (due to a build up of steam when use for example as a steam steriliser) increases above a desired threshold to prevent a dangerous build up of steam.
• a pressure in the container due to a build up of steam when use for example as a steam steriliser
• the valve allows the pressure to increase up to 1 bar, although the skilled reader would understand that if the components (for example the container and the lid) were designed to withstand greater pressures, other values may be possible.
• an increased pressure during the sterilisation process actually aids the degree to which the items are sterilised.
• the portable steriliser further comprises a float engageable with the removable outer lid, wherein, when the float is engaged with the removable outer lid and the removable outer lid is engaged with the container, the float extends from the removable outer lid and is arranged to contact items to be sterilised in the container.
• the float ensures that all the items to be sterilised are submerged in the sterilising fluid.
• the outer lid when engaged with the container, is in threaded engagement.
• the outer lid comprises an O-ring around an inner circumferential edge.
• the outer lid comprises a handle for carrying the steriliser.
• the container comprises a recess for containing a measured portion of fluid.
• the portable steriliser comprises an outer flange extending from the container or removable lid, the outer flange being arranged to permit the container to be placed on its side.
• the present invention also provides a portable steriliser for sterilising items using sterilising fluids, comprising: a container for receiving items to be sterilised and for receiving a sterilising fluid; a first interior collar disposed at a first level of an interior surface of the container; a removable inner lid engageable with the first interior collar; and a removable outer lid engageable with the container, wherein the removable inner lid is configured to provide a substantially waterproof seal when engaged with the first inner collar, and wherein the removable inner lid comprises a pressure valve configured to close to provide a substantially waterproof seal when an internal pressure of the container is below a pressure threshold, and configured to open when an internal pressure of the container is above the pressure threshold.
• the inner lid engages with the inner collar and is configured to provide a substantially waterproof seal when engaged with the inner collar, this allows the container to be transported during use without the risk of the contents of the container spilling out.
• the valve in the lid opens when a pressure in the container (due to a build up of steam when use for example as a steam steriliser) increases above a desired threshold to prevent a dangerous build up of steam.
• a pressure in the container due to a build up of steam when use for example as a steam steriliser

• an increased pressure during the sterilisation process actually aids the degree to which the items are sterilised.
• the portable steriliser comprises a second inner collar disposed at a second level, different from the first level, of an interior surface of the container, and wherein the inner lid is engageable with the second inner collar to provide a substantially waterproof seal.
• a second inner collar at a different level or position within the container means that the inner lid can be placed at different levels and still provide a waterproof seal. This means that the inner lid can be placed at a level that is appropriate for the amount of sterilising fluid required for the number of items to be sterilised.
• the inner lid is in threaded engagement with the inner collar when engaged.
• the outer lid when engaged with the container, is in threaded engagement.
• the inner lid comprises an O-ring around an outer circumferential surface.
• the inner collar comprises an O- ring around an inner circumferential edge.

• the outer lid may comprise a handle for carrying the steriliser.
• the outer lid comprises an O-ring around an inner circumferential edge.
• the outer lid comprises one or more vent apertures.
• the container comprises a recess for containing a measured portion of fluid.
• the portable steriliser comprises an outer flange extending from the container or removable lid, the outer flange being arranged to permit the container to be placed on its side.
