A. o. \NAHLBERG' HOLDER FOR NURSING BOTTLES Feb. 17, 1953 Filed May 2 1948 N V EN TOR. 455/4 0 [i4 Meg -B Patented Feb. 17, 1953 v UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE 2,628,802 HOLDER FOR NURSING BOTTLES Arnold 0. Wahlberg, Minneapolis, Minn.
Application May 27, 1948, Serial N 0. 29,447
My invention relates to improvements inbottle holders, and more particularly, to a novel holder for a nursing bottle.
The principal object of this invention is to provide a holder for a nursing bottle that can be attached to the side members of a baby bed or supported on the upper edge portion of a basket, a bassinette, or a baby carriage, with said bottle suspended thereby for floating movement in a convenient position in which an infant lying on a bed may grasp the suspending means and bring the floating bottle into a position in which he can feed himself, thus requiring very little attention from the parent.
A further object of this invention is to provide a nursing bottle that can be readily adjusted relative to an infant lying in a bed or adjusted relative to a baby bed to which it is attached at different elevations. v
A further object of this invention is .to provide a novel holder for a nursing bottle that can be disassembled and stored in a compact space.
Other objects of this invention will be apparent from the following description, reference being had to the drawing.
To the above and, generally stated, the invention consists of the novel devices and combination of devices hereinafter described and defined in the claims.
.In the accompanying drawing, which illustrates the invention, like characters indicate like parts throughout the several views.
Referring to the drawing:
Fig. 1 is a perspective view of the improved bottle holder supported on the side members of a baby carriage, fragmentarily shown, and holding a nursing bottle suspended over an infant lying on the bedding in said carriage;
Fig. 2 is a plan view of the bottle holder removed from the baby carriage and with the nursing bottle removed from the holder;
Fig. 3 is a fragmentary perspective view of one of the end portions of the bottle holder, on an enlarged scale;
Fig. 4 is a fragmentary detail view showing the inner end portions of the sections of the body member of the bottle holder separably connected by a coupling sleeve, shown in section;
Fig. 5 is an elevational view of the bottle holder suspended from the side members of a baby bed, shown in section; and
8 Claims. (Cl. 248104) verse body member I, as shown; a long round rod, of small diameter, having on each end a T head 8, also a round rod of a larger diameter than that of the body member 1. Preferably, but not necessarily, the body member 1 and the T-heads 8 are made of hard wood dowel pins. Secured to each T-head 8 aligned with the body member I is an upstanding screw eye 9.
The bottle holder, as shown in Fig. 5, is held suspended between the side members it of a baby bed by a pair of cords H and hooks i2. These cords I! are threaded through the screw eyes 9 and eyes [3 in the hooks l2 and the ends of said cords are knotted at I4 to prevent their removal therefrom. The hooks [2 are removably fitted over the upper edge portions of the side members Fig. 6 is an elevational view of the parts shown 2 10 of the baby bed. Each T-head 8 is provided with a pair of depending screw eyes i5 located near the end portions thereof.
A nursing bottle I6 is held suspended from the 'r-heads 8 by a long cord H, the end portions of which are threaded through the pairs of screw eyes [5. The intermediate portion of the cord l is coiled about the bottle [6 at the neck thereof, as indicated at l8. Loops I9, in the end portions of the cord l6, are tightly secured over the bottle [6 at the bottom thereof and said cord extends in opposite directions therefrom. The cords II and I! are preferably but not necessarily sash cords.
In Fig. 1 is shown a fragment of a baby carriage 2B and an infant 2i lying on bedding 22 in said carriage. In this figure, the body member 1 and the parallel sections of the cord I! rest on the upper edge portion of the sides 23 of the baby carriage 20. Obviously, the sections of the cord l1 between which the body member 1 extends prevent the body member i from rolling on the upper edges of the sides 23 of the baby carriage 20. The cord I! is adjusted in the pairs of screw eyes I5 to hold the nursing bottle IS in an inclined position.
The bottle holder may be moved toward or from the infant by sliding the same on the sides 23 of the baby carriage 20 or by sliding the hooks i2 and the side members it and thus conveniently position the bottle holder so that the infant may grasp the foremost section of the cord I! and position the bottle i6 so that he can feed himself. The floating suspension of the bottle It by the bottle holder requires very little effort on the part of the infant to position the bottle so that he may place the nipple on the bottle in his mouth.
To raise the bottle holder from its position shown in Fig. 5, it is only necessary to move the cords ll either in the screw eyes 9 or in the eyes l3 in the hooks l2 and tie knots therein to shorten the operative lengths of said cords. The bottle It may be raised or lowered relative to the body member I by varying the number of Wraps of the cord ll around the bottle [6 at the neck portion thereof.
When the bottle I6 is full or substantially full of milk, the same will be suspended substantially in a horizontal position by the two long parallel sections of the cord i1. As the volume of milk in the bottle l6 decreases, said bottle will be tilted by the natural tendency of the downward pull thereon by the nipple in the infants mouth, and also in case the infant is holding the adjacent section of the cord IT. This slight tilting otthe bottle [6 will cause the milk in the bottle I'Bto flow toward the nipple. Further decrease in the milk in the bottle IE will automatically and progressively tilt the nipple end of the bottle l6 downward. This tilting of the bottle will increase the operative length of the section of the cord attached to the nipple end of the bottle i6 and shorten the section of the cord I! supporting the other end of said bottle by sliding the cord IT in the screw eyes l8.
To facilitate the storing or packaging of the bottle holder, the body member 1 is made in two sections, detachably connected by a rubber sleeve 2'4 telescoped onto the inner end portions of said body member.
From what has been said, it will be understood that the bottle holder described. is capable of modifications as to details of construction and arrangement within the scope of the invention disclosed and claimed.
What I claim is:
1. A bottle holder comprising a rigid body member having at each end a T-head provided at its end portions with depending screw eyes, and a cord threaded at its end portions through the eyes, said cord having at its ends loops applicable around a bottle at one of its end portions, said cord having sufficient slack, whereby it may be wrapped, at its intermediate portion, around the bottle at its other end portion.
portions of the rod and separably connecting the same 4. A bottle holder comprising a rod having at each end a cross-head, each cross-head having at the rod an upstanding screw eye and at each end a depending screw eye, a cord threaded through each upstanding screw eye and having on one of its ends a hook applicable to a relatively fixed support, said cord at its other endportion being knotted to prevent removal from the screw eye, and a lon cord having its end portions threaded through the depending eyes, said long cord having at its ends loops applicable around a bottle at one end portion thereof, said long cord having suificient slack, whereby it may be wrapped at its intermediate portion around the bottle at its other end portion.
5. A bottle holder comprising a rod having at each end a head, a cord arranged in two substantially parallel sections between the heads and attached thereto, the sections of the cord being free to be fastened around the end portions of a bottle, said rod having two sections, and a sleeve telescoped onto the inner end portions of said sections and separably connecting the same.
;6. A bottle holder comprising a rod having at each end a T-head, and a cord attached to the T-heacl at one of their ends with the intermediing at its ends loops applicable around a bottle 2. A bottle holder comprising a long red having a bottle, a second cord attached at one end to each head, and a hook attached to the last noted cord at its other end.
