Definitions

  • the invention relates to a teat especially for infants and toddlers.
  • the drinking teat may in particular be designed as a nourishing teat or as a drinking aid (for example a nipple or drinking spout) in accordance with European standard EN 14350-1.
  • Teats are used prior to the administration of milk and other liquid foods especially to infants and toddlers. They have a hollow suction part with a passage for liquid food. The suction part is integrally connected at the bottom with a circular-disc-shaped suction flange, which serves for fastening to the mouth of a vessel.
  • the vessel is in particular a drinking bottle (feeding bottle), drinking cup or food bag.
  • a mounting ring is used, which has a cylindrical shell with fastening means for fastening to fastening means of the vessel.
  • the attachment means are usually threaded on the inner circumference of the shell and on the outer circumference of the vessel.
  • the mounting ring has an inwardly projecting, annular disc-shaped annular flange which engages over the Saugerflansch and pressed against the front edge of the mouth of the vessel.
  • Nourishing sucker are mostly made of soft elastic material.
  • Drinking aids and spouts are often also made of soft elastic material.
  • Drinking aids are also made of hard (or hard-elastic) plastic or a combination of hard and soft materials.
  • drinking aids made of a hard plastic with a valve core made of soft elastic material which is clamped at the edge between the drinking aid and the mouth of the vessel known.
  • the vent valve opens when there is a certain negative pressure in the vessel, so that a pressure equalization with the environment takes place.
  • the passage opening are one or more circular drinking holes.
  • the drinking holes are made for example by means of a suitably shaped injection molding or dipping tool, by punching or piercing by means of needles or by drilling by means of a steel drill, a water jet or a laser beam.
  • the production of drinking holes by means of a laser beam is in the US 6,032,810A and US 4,623,069A described.
  • FR 2 302 724 A describes a teat, which has micro perforations, the number and diameter of which are determined depending on the volume flow to be achieved.
  • the microperforations can be made by laser, ultrasound or any other technique such as mechanical, chemical or other methods.
  • the microperforations are formed in a vertical section through the wall of the suction member by uniform or uneven ramifications, which open in the outside of the suction member, each more branches are fed by a single channel, which opens at the inside of the suction part.
  • the ramified and curved microperforations can not be produced by means of linear laser beams.
  • Drinking holes are so small that no appreciable amount of liquid escapes unintentionally. Because of their small size, however, a high suction pressure must be used to remove a larger amount of liquid.
  • teat are known in which the passage openings are formed as drinking slots. Such teat are for example in the EP 1 924 234 B1 and EP 2 182 910 B1 described.
  • drinking teat with two parallel drinking slots are described.
  • teat with two intersecting drinking slits When not sucked on the suction part, the edges of the drinking slits are sealingly abutting each other. When sucking open the drinking slits, so that liquid can escape.
  • the drinking slots are cut by means of a knife.
  • conventional drinking teat with drinking slots have a good leakage safety and allow a high flow of liquid food. The preparation is complicated.
  • cut surfaces of the drinking slots tend to stick together and then require a high opening pressure.
  • Another disadvantage is that drinking slots can tear at the ends and the teat is thereby unusable.
  • the present invention seeks to provide a teat, which seals securely, allows a high flow of liquid food and has cheaper production properties.
  • the teat according to the invention in particular for infants and toddlers, has a suction part with at least one drinking slit and a suction flange connected to the lower end of the suction part for fastening to the front edge of an orifice of a vessel, characterized in that the drinking slit by means of a Laser beam is cut into the suction part and in the unloaded state of the teat a small gap is opened.
  • the teat according to the invention has at least one drinking slot, which is cut into the suction part by means of a laser beam.
  • the drinking slit is also opened a small gap, if not sucked on the suction part, i. in the unloaded state of the teat.
  • the gap width of the gap is kept so low that a sufficient tightness of the teat is achieved via the capillary action and the surface tension of the cut surfaces, which prevents inadvertent leakage of liquid food.
  • the precise production of drinking slots with a sufficiently small gap width is possible.
  • the drinking slot allows the escape of large quantities of liquid food by suction on the suction part.
  • the drinking slot can be generated without contact by means of a laser beam, which allows high production speeds.
  • the production by means of a laser beam allows any contours of the drinking slots.
  • Another advantage is that the ends of the laser-slit drinking slits are less prone to rupture than knife-making because the laser beam blurs the ends and is less prone to tearing.
  • the gap width of the drinking slit is at least 0.1 mm, preferably at least 0.2 mm and / or at most 0.4 mm, preferably at most 0.3 mm. These gap widths are easily produced by means of a laser beam and prevent inadvertent leakage of liquid food.
  • the radius of the rounded ends of the drinking slit is equal to the gap width of the drinking slit or exceeds them. If the radius of the rounded ends corresponds to the gap width, the unintentional leakage of liquid is counteracted particularly effectively. In principle, however, it is also possible that the radius of the rounded ends exceeds the gap width. The latter can be achieved by letting the laser beam dwell at the ends over a short period of time or by correspondingly controlling the cutting guide by means of the laser beam. The larger radii can better prevent tearing.
  • the drinking slit may have any shape, in particular a rectilinear or a zigzag or a curved shape (for example a C-shape).
  • the teat can have multiple drinking slots with the same or different shapes.
  • the invention allows a simple change in the shape of the drinking slit so that it facilitates the production of different batches with different drinking slits or even different drinking slits within individual batches.
  • the teat has a plurality of interconnected drinking slots, which have a branched course.
  • the branched course extends in the surface of the suction part and not perpendicular to the surface as in the drinking holes according to FR 2 302 724 A1 .
  • This design favors a teat with drinking slots that are open by a very small gap with which the desired tightness of the teat is achieved.
  • the branched drinking slits provide a sufficiently large opening during suction for the outlet of the desired flow rate.
  • the drinking slits have a branched course corresponding to the milk channels of the nipple.
  • the drinking slots bionic contours that allow an approach to natural breastfeeding.
  • the teat has a plurality of interconnected drinking slots, which have a common interface and in extend in different directions.
  • This embodiment also favors a drinking teat with drinking slots, which are only opened by a very small gap, if not sucked on the suction part, so that they have the desired tightness.
  • the drinking slots provide a sufficiently large opening for the discharge of the desired flow during suction. Drinking slits with a common interface can be combined with drinking slits with a branched course.
  • the teat has drinking slots, which extend away from the interface on both sides. These are e.g. cross-shaped or X-shaped arranged drinking slots. According to a further embodiment, the drinking teat has drinking slots which extend away from the common interface only on one side. These are, for example, three Y-shaped arranged drinking slots.
  • the teat has a plurality of arrangements of a plurality of interconnected drinking slots.
  • the gap width can be further reduced in favor of the tightness of the teat and yet the desired flow rate can be ensured even while sucking on the teat.
  • the teat additionally comprises one or more drinking holes.
  • the drinking holes are arranged, for example symmetrically on different sides of a drinking slit or one or more arrangements of several drinking slits.
  • the drinking holes are eg circular, oval.
  • the suction part can have several drinking holes with different dimensions (diameter).
  • the drinking holes are preferably made by means of a laser beam in the suction part. Alternatively, they are made by means of a suitably shaped injection molding or dipping tool, by punching or piercing by means of needles or piercing by means of a steel drill or a water jet in the suction part.
  • the teat consists wholly or partly of soft elastic material.
  • the suction part of soft elastic material especially if the teat is intended for infants and toddlers.
  • the Saugerflansch consists of soft elastic material in order to achieve a particularly good seal at the mouth of a vessel.
  • the entire Nutrient Vacuum is made of soft elastic material.
  • the teat is wholly or partly made of one or a combination of the following materials: silicone, latex and thermoplastic elastomer.
  • the materials mentioned are soft elastic materials in the context of the invention.
  • the teat consists wholly or partly of a hard or hard-elastic plastic or of another hard or hard-elastic material.
  • the teat when running as a drinking aid (for example, drinking spout or drinking spout), the teat may consist entirely or partially of hard elastic or hard material.
  • the teat is injection molded or dipped.
  • silicone thermoplastic elastomer or hard elastic plastic, it is preferably injection molded and dipped in execution of latex.
  • the at least one drinking slot is arranged at an acute angle to the central axis through the suction flange. This is advantageous for a sealing of the drinking slot by means of a cap (rinse cup), which is held on a mounting ring for securing the teat to a vessel.
  • the teat is fixed by means of a fastening ring at the mouth of a vessel.
  • the fastening ring fastening means and the vessel further fastening means which are connected to each other to attach the teat to the vessel.
  • the fastening means are an internal thread on the fastening ring and an external thread on the vessel.

  • the two drinking slots are closed, if not sucked on the suction part.
  • sucking on the suction part of the area between the adjacent drinking slits can fold around the hinge or bend, whereby the opening of the drinking slits is facilitated.
  • the hinge and the two drinking slots thus limit a valve with a valve flap, which is elastically deflectable from the sealing position, to release an opening in the suction part.
  • This invention enables teat cups which seal well when not sucked on the suction member and which have good permeability when sucked on the suction member.
  • the drinking slots can be cut in a conventional manner by means of a knife.
  • the drinking slots are cut into the suction part by means of a laser beam.
