NURSING NIPPLE WITH VENTED ADAPTER Filed Oct. 21, 1964 William M. Patterson INVENIOR.
m' WW Em United States Patent 3,286,864 NURSING NIPPLE WITH VENTED ADAPTER William M. Patterson, Akron, Ohio, assignor to Jay D. Lenner, Summit County, Ohio Filed Oct. 21, 1964, Ser. No. 405,463 3 Claims. (Cl. 215-11) The present invention relates to nursing bottles and nipples, generally speaking, and has more particular reference to a conventional-type nursing bottle having a screw-threaded mouth or neck with a terminal lip, a nipple applying and clamping cap with a screw-threaded ring embracing and screwed on the bottle neck, said ring being provided with a holddown flange and said flange serving to position and properly mount a flanged adapter carrying an attachable and detachable nipple.
Persons conversant with the art to which the invention relates are aware that it is common practice in this line of endeavor to provide a so-called wide mouth or neck nursing bottle and to clampingly mount an attaching and retaining flange at the base of a nipple atop the lip portion of the bottle mouth and to assemble the bottle and nipple by way of a knurled or similarly constructed and performing cap ring, that is a ring or rim portion which is screwed on the bottle and which is provided with a turned in or horizontal flange which overlies the nipple flange. Such a construction and arrangement is shown to be old, for example, in the nipple patent of Bray 2,889,063, of June 2, 1959.
It is also old in this line of endeavor to resort to the use of many and varied styles and forms of nipples and, as a matter of fact, to employ not only the aforementioned cap ring but, in addition, to utilize an adapter which makes it possible to use a nipple with a smaller flanged base portion, one which can, if desired, be attached to a beaded neck on a soft drink or equivalent bottle. Such a construction and arrangement is shown, for example, in my prior Patent 2,424,629 identified as a Nursing Nipple and Bottle and patented on July 29, 1947. My prior patent features a flanged dust cap which is usable for sanitary purposes when the invertible nipple is inverted and fitted into the nursing bottle When the nipple is not being used. In addition, my prior patent is characterized by a fairly rigid rubber or equivalent adapter collar. This collar encircles the reduced shouldered neck portion of the nipple and has an outer marginal flange which flange is applied atop the lip of the bottles neck and which can be held in place by the inturned flange on the cap ring.
With the general state of the prior art appearing as above and after having considered the same it will be clear that a general objective of the instant invention is to be structurally, functionally and in other Ways improve upon the prior patents mentioned, more particularly, to provide air venting means, that is means which will be effective at all times to prevent collapsing of the nipple during use and traceable, as is well know, to pressure reduction within the confines of the milk area of the nursing bottle.
It may be stated here that it is not new in the art to provide a nipple having means which is constructed with a view toward insuring continued venting even when the nipple is in its distended infant using state. A number of prior patents could be cited to reveal the state of the art on this aspect of the concept, for example the aforementioned Bray Patent 2,889,063. It will be clear that one of the objectives in the instant presentation is to introduce satisfactorily performing bottle venting means into a structural combination revealed in my prior Patent 2,424,629. To the ends desired the present invention is accordingly characterized by component parts which correspond in a part-for-part and feature-for-feature manner with the prior patents. It will be noted that by comparison the present invention embodies a nipple which is improved in that the supporting and re-t-aining flange at the base of the neck portion thereof instead of being plain on the top side is provided with an endless channel, a channel which provides a keyway and which in turn serves to accommodatingly seat a keying and assembling rib formed on the bottom side of an improved adapter collar.
More significantly and therefore more important, the chief improvement resides in the specific form and construction ofthe substantially hard rubber adapter collar. This is to say the collar is provided on the bottom side with a substantially endless rib which can be keyed into the keyway of the base flange of the nipple to provide a satisfactory seal and at the same time to allow for pressure responsive ventilating needs.
In carrying out a preferred embodiment of the invention the adapter collar is characterized by an outstanding adapter mounting and retaining flange which seats atop the lip of the neck of the bottle and which is clamped by the flange of the cap ring or rim. The exposed upper edge of the collar is provided with at least one atmospheric air intake orifice or port which is communicable with a kerf, the kerf being provided in an endless rib, that is a rib which is formed integrally on the bottom of the collar and which is so arranged that the outer peripheral edge is spaced from the outer peripheral edge of the holddown flange and the inner peripheral edge is flush with the circular opening inherently present in the collar.
These together with other objects and advantages which will become subsequently apparent reside in the details of construction and operation as more fully hereina'fter described and claimed, reference being had to the accompanying drawings forming a part hereof, wherein like numerals refer to like parts throughout, and in which:
FIGURE 1 is a view in perspective showing a conventional nursing 'bottle, a generally conventional screwtype nipple positioning and clamping cap or cap ring and further showing an applicable and removable nipple (like the one shown in my prior Patent 2,424,629) and the improved vented adapter collar;
FIGURE 2 i an enlarged fragmentary View with parts in section and elevation taken on the plane of the vertical line 22 of FIGURE 1 looking in the direction of the arrows and wherein the nipple has been inverted to telescope into the neck of the bottle and the sanitary type dust cap. has been applied;
FIGURE 3 is a view similar to FIGURE 2 but showing the dust cap removed and with the component parts, the nipple and adapter collar in assembled ready-to-use relationship;
FIGURE 4 is a View in perspective of the improved adapter ring with a portion broken away and showing the details of construction; and
FIGURE 5 is a bottom plan view of the adapter collar shown in FIGURE 4.
Referring now to the views of the drawing and particularly to FIGS. 1, 2, and 3 it will be seen that the nursing bottle is of ordinary construction, is denoted at 6 and has a neck 7 screw-threaded at 8 and fashioned in a wide mouth neck 9 having a flat terminal lip 10. The screw-threaded neck is adapted to accommodate the conventional type so-called cap ring or clamping cap which is denoted at 11, has a screw-threaded ring or rim 12 screwed on the neck and provided with a turned in endless holddown and clamping flange 13.
As the prior art reveals the components so far described in detail are old and well known. In fact, it is old, as shown in my prior patent, to provide a rubber compressibly pliant nipple 14 for infant feeding and a specially designed and performing adapter 16. The nipple comprises an annular reinforced shoulder 18 on the body portion which merges into an upstanding reduced nipple 20. The lower or basal part of the body is fashioned into a neck 22 haw'ng an outstanding endless base flange 24 the inner peripheral edge of which is beveled at 26 to permit it to be fastened onto the head of an ordinary soft drink bottle as shown in FIG. 3 of prior Patent 2,424,629. It will be seen that the distinction is in providing the upper side of the flange 24 with a shallow endless groove or channel 28 which constitutes a keyway for an endless annular rib 30 formed at the center of the bottom of the improved vented adapter 16. This adapter comprises a one piece unit embodying a collar having a smooth inner peripheral surface 31, a sloping outer surface 32 merging into the flat or planar side of an endless attaching and retaining flange 34. This flange is of a diameter that the outer edge'portion rests on the lip and is accrdingly, when in use, clamped between the clamping flange 13 and the lip 10 as shown in 'both positions; that is, in the usable position in FIG. 3 and the inverted nipple out-of-useposition shown in FIG. 2. It will be evident that the inner peripheral surface 35 of the rib 30 is smooth, that is, flush with the peripheral surface 31 of, the collar proper. It will be noted, too, that the outer peripheral surface 36 of the rib is spaced inwardly from the peripheral edge of the flange 34 and that the underneath side of the flange is flat as denoted at 38. The flat surface 38 is above the plane of the bottom of the rib andthe rib is provided at a predetermined point with a kerf or notch 40. The notch provides a vent (orifice or port) and is coopera'ble and communicable with a notch or cooperating air inlet port or orifice 42 which is formed in the collar proper.
It will be evident that the aforementioned improvement reside in keying the rib 30 in the channel 28 as shown in FIG. 3 in particular. The other improvement is in the provision of a rib 30 which is so constructed and dimensioned to fit into the channel and which has a simple kerf 40 which opens into the space of the collar.
as illustrated in FIG. 5. In other words, this open ended kerf 40 is lined up with the port or orifice 42 and the orifice 42 is located so that it communicates with the atmosphere. It follows that when the nipple is being nursedthe distortion or deforming of the same (as suggested in FIG. 3 (facilitates providing a satisfactory venting action with the result that the infant is fed uninterruptedly without the likelihood of vacuum in the bottle and neck causing either the bottle (if plastic) or nipple to objectionably collapse.
It will be evident that the dust cap (which is shown in the prior patent) is denoted at 44 has a marginal rib 46 and an applicator and retaining flange 48 which can be sandwiched and clamped between the holddown and retaining flange 34 and lip of the bottle neck.
It is submitted that a careful consideration of the state ment and objectives set forth by the introductory portion of the specification when taken in conjunction with the detailed description, the invention as claimed and views of the drawing will enable the reader .to obtain a clear and comprehensive understanding of the component parts and how they are constructed and functionally cooperate. Accordingly, a more extended description is regarded as unnecessary.
4 The foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the invention. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those. skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the invention to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the invention as claimed.
What is claimed as new is as follows:
1. In combination, a nursing nipple having a body portion provided with outstanding endless reinforcing shoulder, also provided below said shoulder with a neck provided at its bottom with an outstanding endless flange,
the top surface of said flangebeing. provided with an bottle having a screw-threaded neck with a wide mouth terminating in a lip, said. nipple embodying a body portion, a nipple portion, and a base portion, said body portion being provided with an outstanding endless reins forcing shoulder, said base portion being provided at a bottom part thereof with an outstanding endless flange spaced from and parallel. to said reinforcing shoulder,
