Description

La présente invention est relative aux ensembles de biberons et de contenants pour nourrissons et enfants en bas âge.The present invention relates to sets of bottles and containers for infants and young children.

Plus particulièrement, l'invention se rapporte à un kit de biberons comprenant au moins un premier et un deuxième biberon, chacun desdits biberons comportant une partie de fond de récipient ainsi qu'une partie de fermeture, la partie de fond de récipient s'étendant selon une direction d'extension depuis une extrémité fermée jusqu'à une extrémité ouverte, la partie de fermeture comportant une extrémité ouverte adaptée pour être fixée de façon amovible à l'extrémité ouverte de la partie de fond de récipient.More particularly, the invention relates to a kit of bottles comprising at least a first and a second bottle, each of said bottles having a bottom portion of the container and a closure portion, the bottom portion of the container extending in an extension direction from a closed end to an open end, the closure portion having an open end adapted to be removably attached to the open end of the container bottom portion.

Pour nourrir un nourrisson ou un enfant en bas âge, il est en général nécessaire de disposer de plusieurs biberons (par exemple trois biberons) afin entre autre de réduire la fréquence des opérations de nettoyage et/ou stérilisation. De tels lots de biberons présentent malheureusement un encombrement important qui peut être gênant, en particulier au cours de voyages ou lors du stockage au domicile.To feed an infant or toddler, it is generally necessary to have several bottles (eg three bottles) in order to reduce the frequency of cleaning and / or sterilization operations. Such packs of baby bottles unfortunately have a large footprint that can be embarrassing, especially during travel or storage at home.

Pour résoudre ces problèmes, le document FR 2 816 499 décrit par exemple un ensemble de biberons jetables possédant une forme évasée de façon à pouvoir être empilés et disposés dans un emballage de dimensions réduites.To solve these problems, the document FR 2,816,499 describes for example a set of disposable bottles having a flared shape so as to be stacked and arranged in a package of reduced dimensions.

Cette solution présente cependant plusieurs inconvénients. Les biberons risquent de se détacher les uns des autres durant le transport. L'étanchéité des biberons n'est en outre pas garantie car les tétines sont fixées aux corps des biberons sans moyen de verrouillage. Enfin, l'encombrement de l'emballage n'est pas suffisamment réduit pour permettre un transport aisé.This solution, however, has several disadvantages. Bottles may come loose during transport. The tightness of baby bottles is also not guaranteed because the nipples are attached to the bodies of baby bottles without locking means. Finally, the size of the packaging is not small enough to allow easy transport.

Le document GB 2 400 042 A décrit un kit de voyage pour enfant comprenant plusieurs bouteilles ou biberon ainsi que des éléments additionnels tels que des tétines, bagues de serrage, cuillère, goupillons, bol, tasse, etc... Lorsque le kit est replié, les éléments du kit sont accueillis dans un contenant additionnel de grande taille. Il est toutefois souhaitable de permettre un transport et un stockage plus aisés du kit de voyage, notamment en réduisant encore davantage l'encombrement d'un tel kit de biberon.The document GB 2,400,042 A describes a children's travel kit with several bottles or bottles and additional items such as pacifiers, clamping rings, spoon, brushes, bowl, cup, etc ... When the kit is folded, the kit elements are welcomed in an additional large container. However, it is desirable to allow easier transport and storage of the travel kit, including further reducing the size of such a bottle kit.

La présente invention vient améliorer la situation.The present invention improves the situation.

A cet effet, selon l'invention, un kit de biberons du genre en question est caractérisé en ce que l'extrémité ouverte de la partie de fond de récipient du premier biberon possède une section supérieure à la section maximale des parties de fond de récipient des autres biberons, lesdites sections étant considérées perpendiculairement à la direction d'extension, et en ce que le premier biberon emprisonne intégralement les parties de fond de récipient des autres biberons lorsque la partie de fermeture du premier biberon est fixée à l'extrémité ouverte de la partie de fond de récipient du premier biberon.For this purpose, according to the invention, a bottle set of the kind in question is characterized in that the open end of the bottom portion of the container of the first bottle has a section greater than the maximum section of the bottom portions of the container. other bottles, said sections being considered perpendicular to the direction of extension, and in that the first bottle completely traps the bottom portions of the container of the other bottles when the closing portion of the first bottle is attached to the open end of the bottle; the bottom part of the container of the first bottle.

Grâce à ces dispositions, le premier biberon du kit de biberons peut emprisonner les autres biberons du kit de façon à permettre un transport aisé et un gain de place lors du rangement à domicile. Un kit de biberons selon l'invention présente en outre l'avantage de comporter des biberons de différentes tailles qui sont avantageux pour suivre la croissance de l'enfant et/ou adapter les quantités de nourriture fournies selon les circonstances (moment de la journée, promenade, ...). Chacun des biberons présente une bonne étanchéité. La forme des parties de fond de récipient permet aussi de faciliter le nettoyage de l'intérieur des biberons qui peut être réalisé sans goupillon ou dans un lave-vaisselle. Enfin, le nombre de biberons compris dans le kit permet de réduire la fréquence des opérations de nettoyage et/ou stérilisation.With these provisions, the first bottle of the bottle kit can trap the other bottles of the kit so as to allow easy transport and space saving during home storage. A baby bottle kit according to the invention also has the advantage of having bottles of different sizes which are advantageous for monitoring the growth of the child and / or adapt the quantities of food provided according to the circumstances (time of day, walk, ...). Each of the bottles has a good seal. The shape of the bottom portions of the container also facilitates the cleaning of the interior of the bottles which can be done without bottle brush or in a dishwasher.
