Definitions

• the invention relates to a single-use, and therefore disposable, bottle constituted in such a way that once the corresponding teat fixing ring is attached to the respective mouth of the bottle's container or body, its opening is impossible unless it is opened break
• the closure thus achieved with the coupling between the two fundamental bodies (ring and body of the bottle) is airtight.
• the object of the invention is to provide a bottle by means of which the hygienic conditions with respect to conventional bottles are improved.
• the bottle that is recommended is a disposable or single-use bottle and is designed to solve the problem described above, since it cannot be opened once the closure or coupling between the teat and the container has occurred or in those that have of three pieces, between the teat ring and the corresponding bottle body.
• the hygienic conditions are achieved by virtue of the fact that the integrating elements, nipple and container, nipple and ring on one side, and bottle body on the other, are already sold sterilized and introduced in a tightly sealed bag, so that it it will open at the moment of the use of the bottle, without even touching the nipple since the ring will be the one that is manipulated, externally, to make the coupling on the mouth of the bottle constituting the bottle, once it is filled with the liquid or corresponding food
• the coupling between the nipple and the container or in those of three bodies between the ring and the body of the bottle is carried out by machi-female, or by any other conventional system, even by thread, provided that the closure system in question does not allow subsequent decoupling between the two fundamental elements or components, which are the hoop and the body, unless the corresponding breakage is carried out.
• the coupling must be such that it ensures that once the bottle is used it has to be discarded, since there is no possibility of opening it again, unless it is broken as previously said.
• One way to solve the closure may be based on deformable sheets emerging laterally and divergently from the lateral surface of the mouth of the container body, which once exceeded by an internal perimeter rib provided in the coupling ring, when " it is applied by axial displacement under pressure, it is impossible to re-extract that ring and therefore from the nipple.
• the ring can be rigid and the deformable sheets referred elastic, or vice versa, so that in any case the coupling or closure can be complemented with a perimeter wing that prevents manipulating the closure itself.
• Figure 1 shows a representation according to a side elevation in section by a vertical plane of the disposable bottle object of the invention, with the assembly formed by the coupling ring and the corresponding teat decoupled from the body of the bottle, although in a position faced and prior to the coupling or closing.
• Figure 2. Shows a detail of a form Alternative coupling between the teat fixing ring and the bottle body.
• Figure 3. Shows a variant embodiment of the bottle, made by two pieces, teat and container, both elements of the bottle retention and sealing device.
• the bottle of the invention comprises in this embodiment three bodies, a first body (1), a second or nipple (2) and a ring (3) for fixing it on the mouth of the body (1) of the bottle itself, so that this fixation implies a tight fit in the corresponding closure.
• the ring (3) has a perimeter skirt (4) through which precisely this coupling or fixation is made, said skirt (4) being affected by an inner and lower rib (5), which is circumferential, while the lateral surface corresponding to the mouth of the body (1) of the bottle has a divergent and deformable wing or sections of wing (6) which, by way of sheets, will determine the retention means of the ring
• the teat (2) extends into a pemetric wing (7) that is under the horizontal and upper surface of the ring (3), when the coupling of the latter on the mouth of the body (1) the hermetic fixation of such a nipple (2) is achieved, all this in such a way that by virtue of the configuration of the aforementioned closure or coupling, once this is done it is totally impossible a decoupling or opening unless there is a break in the ring or the body (1) of the bottle itself.
• the coupling system can be any other, provided that once it has been made it is completely impossible to perform the decoupling again.
• Figure 2 it can be seen how the coupling between a bottle body (1 ') and the skirt
• (4 ') belonging to a ring is carried out by means of corresponding complementary projections (5'), or what is the same by means of pressure adjustment, and can even be done by threading, but provided that the system used prevents the opening again .
• a wing (8) that prevents the manipulation of the closure once it has been made, being able to see in figure 2 a wing (8 ') that prevents the manipulation of the complementary and coupling ribs (5') provided in the body ⁇ 1 ') of the bottle and in the skirt (4') corresponding to the fixing ring of the own nipple
• a perimeter rib (9) of stiffening of the ring itself (3) is provided, which actually defines a cavity in which the free edge of the body of the body is introduced bottle, pressing the teat wing between both bodies and therefore increases its tightness, while the body of the bottle (1) has a concave deformation (10) in proximity to its mouth which allows, in combination with the above-mentioned surface and horizontal surface of the ring (3) and wing (7) of the nipple ( 2), to be able to carry out the corresponding pressing and carry out the manual closing, avoiding contact with the end or perimeter edge of the wing (7) belonging to the teat (2), thus ensuring total hygiene of the bottle, since this will be marketed sterilized in hermetically sealed bags that will be opened when the bottle itself is going to be used.
• both the coupling ring (3) and the body (1) of the bottle can be of suitable materials to achieve a perfect adaptation in the coupling between said parts, such that either the ring (2) can be rigid and the mouth of the body of the bottle (1) deformable, or vice versa.
• Figure 3 shows an embodiment in which there are only two pieces, the container or main body of the bottle (1) and the nipple (2).
• the nipple (2) has a threaded area (11) and a retention area (12) that correspond to similar areas incorporated in the neck of the container (1).
• the first of these areas, more specifically the thread (11-13) serves to penetrate the body of the nipple in the neck of the container, while the area (12-14) corresponds to the irreversible closure zone whose mission is that of facilitating the penetration between both bodies by deformation of the eyelashes
