Definitions

  • the invention relates to a teat for toddlers or the elderly, which is suitable in particular as an attachment to a beverage container with an already bottled drink.
  • teat there are already countless types of teat known, each having a provided with a drinking slot, hollow nipple and trained for attachment to a beverage and or liquid food container base part.
  • teat are made of a soft elastic material such as latex, silicone or thermoplastic elastomer and are preferably made by injection molding.
  • connecting systems with a sealing ring and a coupling ring are usually used.
  • Such designed teat are described for example in DE 10 2007 039 355 B3 or US 6241 1 10 B1.
  • the beverage or liquid food portion to be taken is filled into a - mostly reusable - beverage container and possibly mixed there.
  • the beverage containers as well as the associated connection systems are comparatively wide-necked, i. designed for a typical opening diameter of about 3.5 to 5 cm.
  • a disadvantage of the known systems is that the preparation of the beverage or the liquid food abroad, so for example when traveling, is relatively cumbersome.
  • a widely applicable, hygienic teat system there is a need for a widely applicable, hygienic teat system.
  • the object of the invention was to develop an improved teat, which is particularly free of the disadvantages of known teat. This object is achieved according to the invention by a teat with the features of claim 1.
  • the inventive teat for toddlers or the elderly is formed of a soft elastic material and comprises a hollow nipple and an integrally subsequent thereto hollow base portion, the teat nipple has at least one drinking slot in one end. Due to the fact that at least one terminal part of the base section is rolled outwards in the direction of the nipple nipple, the teat can be attached to a freshly opened container with finished beverage or liquid receiving agent contained therein.
  • the handle is very simple and does not require any other parts such as seals and the like.
  • the fact that in the teat according to the invention the seal to the container is made by means of the elastic restoring forces of the base portion, results in a very broad field of application.
  • the teat can be mounted both onaun- mouths with external thread as well as those without external thread; In principle, it can also be placed on bottle mouths that have no purely cylindrical outer shape.
  • terminal refers in connection with the base portion facing away from the nipple side. For a standing bottle attached teat is therefore the terminal part of the base portion of its downwardly facing part.
  • centered in the context of the base portion refers to an area that is between the rolled-up portion and the transition to the nipple nipple.
  • the above-defined teat is applied instead of the closure of a filled beverage container (claim 9).
  • a provided as a disposable article in perfect hygienic condition teat can be removed directly from its packaging and placed on a just opened original beverage bottle containing, for example, a fruit juice drink.
  • the said beverage bottle may be a so-called PET bottle.
  • Such beverage containers are very common and also available in remote regions.
  • the requirements for the liquid-tightness of the screw connection formed are comparatively moderate, since there is an open situation anyway because of the drinking slit in the nipple. In other words, the drink or the liquid food anyway intended for early, immediate use as possible.
  • An advantage of the invention is that under the condition of rapid use, a simple and hygienic preparation of the respective portion is possible.
  • An inventive method for attaching a teat to the mouth of an open beverage container, wherein the mouth has a predetermined outer diameter comprises the following steps (claim 10): a) providing a teat according to the invention with the proviso that the inner diameter of the terminal part is about 90% to about 100% of the outer diameter of said mouth;
  • the teat can be made from any soft-elastic material approved for infants and toddlers.
  • the soft elastic material is latex or silicone of the appropriate quality (claim 2).
  • the wall thickness in the area of the nipple nipple, hereinafter referred to as "nipple wall thickness”, will generally be about 0.5 mm to about 2 mm.
  • the wall thickness in the terminal, rolled-up region of the base section, hereinafter referred to as "basic jacket thickness” is preferably about 0.1 to 0.3 mm in order to ensure a good roll-up capability (claim 3).
  • the dimensioning of the nipple nipple including that of the or the drinking slits (s) is carried out primarily according to the intended use, ie according to the intended users (infants or the elderly) and the nature of the beverage or liquid food to be taken.
  • the dimensioning of the base section depends on the dimensions the mouth of the beverage container. Assuming that for simple and medium-tight mounting of the teat, the inner diameter of its terminal part in the unloaded state is about 90% to about 100% of the outer diameter of the container mouth, the terminal part has an unloaded inner diameter of preferably about 15 to about 50 mm on (claim 4).
  • unloaded diameter is meant the mean diameter in the absence of a mechanical bias. Conversely, due to the elasticity of the material used when expanding over the unloaded inner diameter results in a radially inwardly directed force.
  • the length of the rolled up portion of the base portion is to be chosen so that when the base portion is rolled over the mouth of a beverage container, a sufficiently long portion thereof is covered. In this case, an effectively required more length is to be considered, which results from the projections and depressions of an external thread of the container mouth.
  • the length of the unrolled base portion is sufficient to cover a remaining ring portion of a removed container closure and a possible annular collar of the container mouth. Accordingly, the length of the rolled-up and roll-off base portion is at least about 20 mm, preferably at least about 25 mm, for a design suitable for common beverage containers.
  • the base portion should not be unnecessarily long and is therefore preferably at most about 35 mm long (claim 5). Furthermore, it is understood that the number of turns of the rolled-up portion depends on its length as well as on its wall thickness.
  • the base portion in a central region on a pointing in the axial direction of the teat cylindrical heel with an outer collar on which the rolled-up terminal part is attached.
  • This cylindrical shoulder is dimensioned such that its outer diameter substantially corresponds to the inner diameter of the mouth of an associated beverage container.
  • the teat is applied to a beverage container whose mouth is provided with an external thread (claim 1 1).
  • FIG. 1 shows the neck portion of a conventional bottle type, in longitudinal section; a first embodiment of the teat in a rolled up state, in longitudinal section, and the neck portion of a beverage bottle, in a side view, before placing the teat; the teat and the beverage bottle of Figure 2, with attached teat, in two different sectional views, namely in the rolled-up state (left half of the figure) and unrolled state (right half of the figure) of the teat; a second embodiment of the teat in the rolled-up state, in longitudinal section, and the neck portion of a beverage bottle, in a side view, before placing the teat; and the teat and the beverage bottle of Figure 4, with attached teat, in two different sectional views, namely in the rolled-up state (left half of the figure) or unrolled state (right half of the figure) of the teat.
  • FIG. 1 shows the neck portion of a conventional PET beverage bottle which, in the case of a so-called standard thread PC028, has the following dimensions:
  • the teat 2 shown in Figures 2 and 3 has a hollow nipple 4 and a hollow base portion 6 integrally connected thereto.
  • the teat nipple 4 is provided with a drinking slot 10 in an upper end region 8.
  • a terminal part 12 of the base section 6 is rolled outwards in the direction of the nipple nipple. Further, the base portion 6 at its end remote from the nipple end a final bead 14.
  • the intended especially for infants or the elderly teat 2 is formed of a soft elastic material such as latex or silicone.
  • the nipple nipple 4 has a nipple wall thickness of 0.5 to 2 mm, and the drinking slit 10 is configured in the present example approximately circular with a diameter of 2 mm. However, the number and dimension of the drinking slit (s) may vary over a wide range.
  • the rolled-up or unrollable terminal part of the base section is comparatively thin-walled and has, for example, a basic shell thickness of 0.1 to 0.5 mm.
  • the inner diameter D1 of the base section 6 is approximately the same size as the outer diameter B of the mouth shell 16 of an associated beverage bottle 18.
  • Such bottles usually have an external thread with projections 20, a plastic ring 22 and a ring collar 24.
  • the plastic ring 22 is part of a conventional lid closure, which remains in common PET bottles after opening the closure on the bottle thread. The removal of the plastic ring 22 requires a certain amount of effort and should therefore not be necessary for the application of the inventive teat.
  • the base section 6 adapts to all projections of the mouth during rolling over the mouth of the bottle due to its elastic properties, thereby causing a seal.
  • the base portion hugs the threaded projections 20, the plastic ring 22 and the annular collar 24.
  • the terminal annular bead 14 has two functions. On the one hand so that the elastic bias and thus the sealing function of the teat can be improved. On the other hand, the annular bead 14 facilitates the removal of the teat from the bottle by re-rolling, if so desired.
  • FIG. 4 Another teat 2a is shown in Figures 4 and 5.

  • the outer diameter D2 of the shoulder 26 is approximately the same size as the inner diameter C of the mouth shell of an associated beverage bottle 18.
  • the shoulder 26 can be inserted into the bottle mouth when placing the teat 2a and causes a radial orientation of the teat with respect to the Bottle.
  • the outer collar 28 forms a stop against the end face of the bottle mouth and thus limits the insertion of the cylindrical shoulder 26 in the axial direction.
  • the teat 2a After placing the teat 2a on the associated beverage bottle 18 of the initially rolled-up terminal portion 12 of the base portion 6 as shown in Figure 5 is rolled over the bottle mouth.
