[Prior art]

 Baby feeding equipment such as baby bottles and baby nipples are widely used for feeding artificial milk for infants.The method of disinfecting and sterilizing them is sufficient washing and boiling before use. The sterilization method described above was performed, and the feeding nipple was wiped with gauze containing alcohol before feeding.

Therefore, it takes a long time after the baby bottle is filled with the artificial milk, or only a part of the sucking baby is swallowed first, and the artificial milk remaining after a little time causes a second baby feeding. In such cases, a slight amount of fungi, etc., which are mixed in the baby bottle or adhered to the feeding nipple due to the flying of fungi in the air, or when the baby is fed for the first time, is rich in artificial milk. It breeds in a nourishing environment and becomes a large amount of mold bacterium, and the second feeding as described above may have a harmful effect on infants who drink it.

However, mixing an antibacterial agent into artificial milk requires an extremely small amount, and therefore it is extremely dangerous for an amateur to measure and mix it. It must be considered that there is an unknown danger in constantly mixing an antibacterial agent into milk and allowing the infant to swallow it for a long period of time.

[0005]

[Problems to be solved by the invention] The problem to be solved is to prevent the growth of mold fungi, even though the molds such as baby bottles and nipples are prone to mold growth. The point was that there was no harmless feeding device that could effectively prevent it.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and includes a baby bottle formed by mixing an antibacterial agent in a slightly hard plastic such as polyethylene, and a flexible rubber such as a natural rubber type or a silicone rubber type. a molecular compound that, nursing nipple molded by mixing an antimicrobial agent, the silver ions more with antibacterial effect, is supported on a mineral gels consisting of _{S i O 2, Al 2 O} 3, Z nO like, or A feeding tool constructed by using a thiazoline-based organic substance supported on a metal oxide or the like, which allows baby milk to be filled with artificial milk for a long period of time, or one of the artificial milk bottles. Even if the infant is swallowed the part and the remaining artificial milk is swallowed after a short time, the mold fungus attached to the feeding device or mixed with the artificial milk will not propagate, At ease There is provided a feeding device such as can use.

【Example】

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the embodiments shown in the drawings. Figure 1 is a schematic diagram showing an example of manufacture of an antimicrobial agent for use in the present _{invention, S i O 2, Al 2} O 3, a material such as ZnO was crushed by introducing a grinding mixing machine 1 sufficiently After mixing and thoroughly kneading with a kneader (not shown), a sintering furnace 2 is fired to obtain a ceramic made of the above material, which is then finely powdered with a secondary pulverizer / mixer 3. The colloidal ceramic obtained by crushing and sieving is put into a mixing container 4 containing a silver ion solution having an antibacterial effect and mixed to obtain an inorganic gel carrying silver ions having an antibacterial effect. Is.

[0008] However, as the antimicrobial agent supported on a mineral gels consisting of _{S i O 2, Al 2 O} 3, ZnO or the like of silver ions with antibacterial effect as described above, "khellin P-2" in the daily sales (product It may be used as it is commercially available. Further, as an antibacterial agent in which a thiazoline organic substance is supported on a metal oxide, "Amorden" (trade name) manufactured by Daiwa Chemical Industry Co., Ltd. and the like are commercially available.

Of course, the antibacterial agent is not limited to the above-mentioned inorganic gel having an antibacterial effect or an organic antibacterial agent carried on a metal oxide, and in order to carry out the invention of claims 1 and 2, other It goes without saying that well-known antibacterial agents may be used.

However, when the antibacterial agent is directly mixed with plastic or the like, the exuding speed of the antibacterial agent is high, and therefore, when the antibacterial agent is used as a constituent material of a feeding device such as the present invention, artificial milk or the like is used for a long time. It is necessary to be careful because the amount of antibacterial agent exudates will increase when it is stored. Needless to say, care should be taken not to use antibacterial agents containing harmful substances such as arsenic (As).

Next, an outline of a step of mixing an organic antibacterial agent supported on an inorganic gel or a metal oxide having an antibacterial effect, which is obtained as described above or purchased from the market, into a plastic or the like and molding the mixture Is shown by the schematic diagram of FIG.

[0012] unpolymerized polyethylene of, poured into stirred tank 5, to which the S _i O ₂ of silver ions with antibacterial effects such as, Al ₂ O _3, an antimicrobial agent supported on the inorganic gel made of ZnO or the like After mixing about 1% by weight and stirring and kneading, the mixture is pressed into a mold 6 using an injection molding machine and polymerized to mold. The same applies to the case where a metal oxide carrying a thiazoline organic substance is used as an antibacterial agent.

Of course, the manufacturing process itself as described above is not a requirement of the present invention, and in the invention of claim 1 or 2, plastics or the like mixed with an antibacterial agent by some method is used. In the invention of claim 3, the manufacturing process does not necessarily have to be the above process as long as the antibacterial agent supported on the ceramic or metal oxide is mixed. It goes without saying that it is good.

In the case of a baby bottle, a slightly hard plastic such as polyethylene is used, and as a baby nipple, a soft polymer compound such as natural rubber or silicone rubber is used and an antibacterial agent is used. What mixed the agent may be used. However, the terms “slightly hard plastic” and “flexible polymer compound” used in this specification do not necessarily correspond to the generally-discussed categories of hard plastics and soft plastics. The hardness of each item is suitable for the equipment.

FIG. 3 is a conceptual diagram showing a state in which the mold of the present invention kills the mold bacterium mixed in the artificial milk or suppresses the reproduction thereof, and 7 shows a part of the nipple for feeding. is a enlarged view, in said mammal dairy teat 7 _{S i O 2, Al 2 O} 3, silver ions 9, 9 supported on an inorganic electrolyte gel such as ZnO '... (+ indicated by) a number It is mixed. Therefore, the artificial milk 8 adhering to the surface of the nursing nipple 7 contains ions 9, 9 '... Having an antibacterial effect contained in the nursing nipple 7 in proportion to the passage of time. It exudes slowly. As a result, the fungi mixed in the attached artificial milk 8 are killed or suppressed in reproduction by the ions having the antibacterial effect.

[Effect of device]

 As described above, the baby bottle of the present invention uses a material formed by mixing an antibacterial agent into a slightly hard plastic such as polyethylene, and thus uses it as a material. It is as convenient as the above-mentioned baby bottles, and because the material contains an antibacterial agent, the fungus, etc. mixed in the artificial milk in the baby bottle does not propagate, but rather from the above materials over time. Since it is killed by the effect of the antibacterial agent that oozes out little by little, it avoids the risk of letting infants and infants swallow the artificial milk in which mold and fungi propagate.

Further, since the baby nipple of the present invention uses a material in which an antibacterial agent is mixed with a soft polymer compound such as a natural rubber type or a silicone rubber type, it has appropriate flexibility and elasticity. In addition, since the antibacterial agent is mixed in the material, the growth of mold, mold, etc. adhering to the feeding nipple or mixed in the feeding bottle is suppressed or killed. Even when only a part of the inside is swallowed and the rest is swallowed after a while, it is possible to prevent damage such as poisoning due to mold and other fungi.

Furthermore, the silver ions having the antibacterial those supported on inorganic gel consisting of _{S i O 2, Al 2 O} 3, ZnO or the like, or to be calculated and supported on the metal oxide thiazoline-based organic matter, the material In the mixed baby bottle or baby nipple, the antibacterial agent is not mixed into the raw material as it is, but the one carried on each carrier as described above is mixed. When mixed with each polymer compound, it easily fits into the material, so there is little risk of cracks occurring after molding, and silver ions and thiazoline organic compounds, which have an antibacterial effect, ooze out very slowly. As a result, it is possible to avoid the harmful effects of infusing infants with excessive antibacterial agents.

That is, in most cases, the baby is usually swallowed immediately after filling the baby bottle with the artificial milk. However, in such a short time, the antibacterial agent hardly mixes in the artificial milk. A minute amount of antibacterial agent can be used only when feeding the artificial milk for a long time after filling with artificial milk, or as described above, feeding the remaining artificial milk after the first feeding for a short time. Since it gradually exudes into the artificial milk, the necessary and sufficient antibacterial agent will exude when necessary.
