Abstract

PURPOSE: To enable a baby to hold a mild bottle or the like at the optimum position of a rotary handle by arranging a round protrusion part longitudinal on a circular outer circumferential surface of a cup body and a longitudinal hollow part to be engaged with the protrusion part on the inner circumferential surface of a rotating part of the rotary handle. CONSTITUTION: A longitudinal round protrusion part 8 is arranged longitudinally on a circular outer circumferential surface 7 of a cup body and a longitudinal hollow part 12 suited to be engaged with the protrusion part 8 of the cut body 1 is arranged in plurality in the circumferential direction on the inner circumferential surface 11 of a rotary part 9 of a rotary handle 2. As a result, when the rotary handle 2 is turned, the hollow part 12 engaged with the protrusion part 8 comes off the protrusion part 8 engaged with the rotary part 9 being deformed slightly oval and with the further rotation thereof, and when the subsequent hollow part 12 is caught slightly on the protrusion part 8, the rotary handle 2 comes off automatically by an elastic resilience of the deformed rotary part 9. When the protrusion part 8 engages the subsequent hollow part 12 completely, the direction of the rotary handle 2 is altered. The altering of the direction of the rotary handle 2 is performed in multiple stages by repeating this operation.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an infant container in which an infant can hold a handle portion, and more specifically, a nipple, a straw or the like is attached to an opening of the container according to the growth and attached. The present invention relates to a container with a handle that can change the direction of the container according to the direction of a drinking mouth such as a nipple or a straw.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Containers used by infants have parts such as nipples or straws attached to the container openings according to their growth, and by replacing these parts, infants can be trained how to drink in stages. There is something. In other words, a baby who only sucks on her mother's breasts will "suck", "drink", and "suck"
In order to learn the subtle difference of "swallowing" with the mouth and tongue and to be able to grasp the timing of breathing, it is necessary to train step by step according to the growth of the infant, and as a container for that, the infant There is a container provided with a handle that can be held by itself so that parts such as a nipple or a straw can be replaced according to the growth and improvement of an infant.

[0003]

However, in the above-mentioned infant container, since the handle portion for holding an infant or the like is integrally fixed to the cup body and fixed, the direction thereof is constant. However, depending on the parts attached to the container opening, the orientation may not match the parts. For example, when a flat nipple (a round nipple with no orientation and a flat nipple with directionality is attached to the opening of the container) is attached, the orientation of the flat nipple and the handle of the container The orientation of the container may not match, and it is not possible to change or adjust the orientation of the nipple or the orientation of the container handle afterwards. It was very difficult to do. This misalignment allows you to freely remove the nipple part for cleaning.
Alternatively, it is because the parts are composed of a nipple part and a container mounting cap part so that the nipple part can be replaced, and the container mounting cap is considered in consideration of the direction after the once removed nipple part is mounted on the container. Attaching to a part is very troublesome and its fine adjustment is difficult. The present invention is intended to address such a problem, and has achieved the object by completing the invention described below.

[0004]

According to the present invention, there is provided a cup body in which a whole or a part of a body has a circular outer peripheral surface shape.
A container comprising a rotating handle having an annular rotating portion rotatably attached to a circular outer peripheral surface of a body of the cup body, and a pressing cap attached so that the rotating handle does not come off the cup body, The circular outer peripheral surface of the cup body is provided with one or two or more rounded vertically elongated protrusions protruding slightly outward, and the cup body is provided on the inner peripheral surface of the rotating portion of the rotary handle. A plurality of vertically elongated recesses suitable for engaging the protrusions are provided in the circumferential direction.

Further, according to the present invention, the protrusion provided on the circular outer peripheral surface of the cup body and the recess provided on the inner peripheral surface of the rotating portion of the rotary handle are formed such that the recess is wider than the protrusion.
The protrusions or depressions may be provided with a slight inclination in the circumferential direction, or the depressions may be formed wider than the protrusions, and the protrusions may be gradually widened upward or downward to form a depression. To make them almost equal,
Alternatively, the recess may be formed wider than the protrusion, and the recess may be gradually narrowed upward or downward so as to be substantially equal to the protrusion.

In the rotating handle, the recess provided on the inner peripheral surface of the rotating portion can be freely rotated around the cup body by overcoming the protrusion provided on the circular outer peripheral surface of the cup body. In addition, the rotating portion has a slightly deformable elastic force.

[0007]

[Operation] A vertically elongated protrusion is provided on the circular outer peripheral surface of the cup body,
On the other hand, when the rotary handle is rotated by providing a large number of vertically elongated recesses adapted to engage the protrusions provided on the cup body on the inner peripheral surface of the rotary handle, the rotary handle is rotated.
While the rotating portion of the rotary handle is slightly deformed into a substantially elliptical shape, the recessed portion which is engaged so as to fit the protruding portion is displaced from the protruding portion and is disengaged. A little, the rotating handle is automatically displaced by the elastic restoring force of the deformed rotating portion, the next recessed portion is completely engaged with the protrusion, and the orientation of the rotating handle is changed. By repeating this in sequence, the direction of the rotary handle can be changed in multiple stages.

Further, the recess is formed wider than the protrusion,
In addition, the protrusions or depressions may be provided so as to be slightly inclined in the circumferential direction, or the depressions may be formed wider than the protrusions, and the protrusions may be gradually widened upward or downward to form a depression. Or the recess is formed wider than the protrusion, and the recess is gradually narrowed upward or downward so that the recess is formed substantially equal to the protrusion. If this happens, it is not possible to release the recess from the protrusion that is linearly abuttingly engaged to fit the vertically long protrusion by contacting the protrusion from above or below the protrusion. It will be done easily. Moreover, at this time, since the upper portion and / or the lower portion of the protrusion is fitted and engaged with the recess, a gap may be formed between the protrusion and the recess, and the rotary handle may rattle. Absent.
