Description

直付け構造を有する乳首Nipple with direct mounting structure
 本発明は、哺乳瓶等の口部に直接装着するための直付け構造を有する乳首に関する。
 なお、本願において「乳首」とは、哺乳瓶に取り付ける一般的な乳首に限らず、例えば特許文献2に開示の「授食装置」における食品容器のように、フルーツ等の食品を入れて乳幼児がしゃぶることで内部の食品を食するいわゆる「おしゃぶり」のような大型の乳首を含む。
The present invention relates to a nipple having a direct attachment structure for being directly attached to the mouth of a baby bottle or the like.
In the present application, the "nipple" is not limited to a general nipple attached to a baby bottle, and for infants, for example, a food container such as a fruit is put in the food container in the "feeding device" disclosed in Patent Document 2. Includes large nipples like so-called "pacifiers" that eat the food inside by sucking.
 哺乳瓶等の瓶口に直付けする構造を有する乳首としては、例えば特許文献1に「ゴム製の本体1に壜口の外径より緊縮せる外壁2を連続して設け外壁2の末縁に突条2´を設定し本体1と外壁2との間に口壜に嵌着すべき凹陥部3を設け且本体1と外壁2に連続して壜口に圧着嵌合する嵌合部4を設けてなる乳首の構造」が開示されている。 As a nipple having a structure directly attached to the mouth of a baby bottle or the like, for example, in Patent Document 1, "a rubber body 1 is continuously provided with an outer wall 2 that can be contracted from the outer diameter of the bottle mouth, and is provided at the end edge of the outer wall 2. A ridge 2'is set, a recessed portion 3 to be fitted to the mouth bottle is provided between the main body 1 and the outer wall 2, and a fitting portion 4 to be continuously crimp-fitted to the bottle mouth is provided on the main body 1 and the outer wall 2. The structure of the provided nipple "is disclosed.
 また、一般的な乳首ではないが、多孔を有する大型の乳首形状部(食品容器)を有し、内部にフルーツ等の食品を入れて乳幼児がしゃぶることで内部の食品を食するための授食装置が特許文献2に開示されている。 In addition, although it is not a general nipple, it has a large nipple-shaped part (food container) with porosity, and food such as fruits is put inside and the infant sucks to eat the food inside.

 特許文献1に開示された乳首は、装着時には外壁2を上方に跳ね上げるように折り返して嵌合部を壜口に嵌合させ、その後、外壁2の折り返しを元に戻すことで、外壁2を壜口下方の肩部に抱き付かせるようにする。 When the nipple disclosed in Patent Document 1 is attached, the outer wall 2 is folded back so as to flip up upward to fit the fitting portion into the bottle mouth, and then the outer wall 2 is folded back to return the outer wall 2 to the original position. Try to hold it on the shoulder below the bottle.
 しかしながら、乳首をしっかりと装着させる必要から、外壁はある程度強い弾性を有するため、上方への折り返しがスムーズにできないことがある。特に特許文献1の乳首の外壁は円筒状のものであるため、折り返しを開始する際の捲り上げを行いにくいという問題もある。
 この点、外壁の弾性を弱くしたり、外壁の延出長さを短くしたりすることで、取り外しを容易にすることは可能であるが、その場合には装着時の抱き付き強度が弱くなって使用中に外れやすくなるという問題がある。
However, since it is necessary to firmly attach the nipple, the outer wall has a certain degree of elasticity, so that it may not be able to fold back smoothly. In particular, since the outer wall of the nipple of Patent Document 1 has a cylindrical shape, there is also a problem that it is difficult to roll up the nipple when starting folding.
In this regard, it is possible to facilitate the removal by weakening the elasticity of the outer wall or shortening the extension length of the outer wall, but in that case, the hugging strength at the time of mounting becomes weak. There is a problem that it is easy to come off during use.
 また、特許文献2の授食装置は、乳首に相当する食品容器をハンドルアセンブリに取り付けるために、第1連結部材と第2連結部材という2つの部材を必要としており、構造が煩雑で、取付けや取外しの操作も面倒であるという問題がある。 Further, the feeding device of Patent Document 2 requires two members, a first connecting member and a second connecting member, in order to attach the food container corresponding to the nipple to the handle assembly. There is a problem that the removal operation is also troublesome.

 装着部7は、乳首本体部5に連続して形成されて哺乳瓶3の口部に装着する部分である。装着部7は、図1~図5に示すように、裾広がりの略円筒形状で、その下端部には下方に延出する舌片部19が左右両側にそれぞれ形成されている。
 舌片部19が形成されていることで、後述するように、乳首を哺乳瓶3から取り外す際に、装着部7を捲り上げやすいという効果を奏する。
<Mounting part>
The mounting portion 7 is a portion that is continuously formed on the nipple main body portion 5 and is mounted on the mouth portion of the baby bottle 3. As shown in FIGS. 1 to 5, the mounting portion 7 has a substantially cylindrical shape with a wide hem, and tongue piece portions 19 extending downward are formed on both left and right sides at the lower end portion thereof.
Since the tongue piece portion 19 is formed, as will be described later, when the nipple is removed from the baby bottle 3, the mounting portion 7 can be easily rolled up.
 装着部7の内面側には、装着対象である哺乳瓶3の口部に挿入される凸状リング部21と、凸状リング部21の外周側に形成されて口部に嵌合する嵌合溝23とが形成されている。
 また、乳首本体部5と装着部7の境界部分における外周面に、装着部7を外側に折り返すための折り返し溝25が形成されている。
On the inner surface side of the mounting portion 7, a convex ring portion 21 inserted into the mouth portion of the baby bottle 3 to be mounted and a fitting formed on the outer peripheral side of the convex ring portion 21 and fitted to the mouth portion. A groove 23 is formed.
Further, a folding groove 25 for folding the mounting portion 7 outward is formed on the outer peripheral surface at the boundary portion between the nipple main body portion 5 and the mounting portion 7.
 なお、折り返し溝25の高さ方向の位置は、嵌合溝23の底部と略同一位置に設けられているのが好ましい。
 この位置であれば、装着部7を上方に折り返した際に、凸状リング部21が露出し、嵌合溝23の溝口が広がった状態になるので、乳首1の装着が容易になる(図6(b)参照)。
The position of the folded groove 25 in the height direction is preferably provided at substantially the same position as the bottom of the fitting groove 23.
In this position, when the mounting portion 7 is folded upward, the convex ring portion 21 is exposed and the groove opening of the fitting groove 23 is widened, so that the nipple 1 can be easily mounted (FIG. FIG. 6 (b)).
 上記のように構成された本実施の形態の乳首1を哺乳瓶3に装着する方法について、図6、図7に基づいて説明する。
 乳首1の装着部7を、折り返し溝25を折り返し線として上方に跳ね上げるように折り返し、哺乳瓶3の口部3aに載置する(図6参照)。折り返し溝25が形成されていることで、折り返し操作が確実かつ容易に行うことができる。
 装着部7を折り返すことで、凸状リング部21が露出するので、これを哺乳瓶3の口部3aに挿入するようにする。このとき、嵌合溝23の溝口が広がった状態になっているので(図6(b)参照)、哺乳瓶3の口部3aの先端が嵌合溝23に位置合わせされる。
A method of attaching the nipple 1 of the present embodiment configured as described above to the baby bottle 3 will be described with reference to FIGS. 6 and 7.
The mounting portion 7 of the nipple 1 is folded back so as to flip up with the folded-back groove 25 as a folding line, and is placed on the mouth portion 3a of the baby bottle 3 (see FIG. 6). Since the folding groove 25 is formed, the folding operation can be performed reliably and easily.
By folding back the mounting portion 7, the convex ring portion 21 is exposed, and this is inserted into the mouth portion 3a of the baby bottle 3. At this time, since the groove mouth of the fitting groove 23 is in a widened state (see FIG. 6B), the tip of the mouth portion 3a of the baby bottle 3 is aligned with the fitting groove 23.
 この状態で、装着部7の折り返しを元に戻すようにすれば、図7に示すように、哺乳瓶3の口部3aが嵌合溝23に嵌合された状態で簡単に装着される。
 装着状態では、図7に示すように、哺乳瓶3の口部3aが嵌合溝23に嵌合され、かつ装着部7が哺乳瓶3の肩部3bに抱き付くように装着されるので、乳首1が外れにくい。
In this state, if the folding back of the mounting portion 7 is restored, as shown in FIG. 7, the baby bottle 3 is easily mounted with the mouth portion 3a fitted in the fitting groove 23.
In the mounted state, as shown in FIG. 7, the mouth portion 3a of the baby bottle 3 is fitted into the fitting groove 23, and the mounting portion 7 is mounted so as to hug the shoulder portion 3b of the baby bottle 3. Nipple 1 is hard to come off.
 乳首1を哺乳瓶3から取り外す際には、舌片部19を摘まんで捲り上げ、その後、折り返し溝25から折り返すことで、簡単に外すことができる。
 舌片部19がない場合に比較すると、装着部7の取外しが極めて容易にできる。
When removing the nipple 1 from the baby bottle 3, the tongue piece 19 is picked up, rolled up, and then folded back from the folding groove 25, so that the nipple 1 can be easily removed.
The attachment portion 7 can be removed extremely easily as compared with the case where the tongue piece portion 19 is not provided.
 以上のように、本実施の形態に係る乳首1は、乳首本体部5と装着部7の境界部分における外周面に折り返し溝25を有し、また、装着部7が略円筒形状で、その下端部に下方に延出する舌片部19を有することにより、装着が容易で装着状態では外れにくく、また外しやすいという効果を奏することができる。
 また、折り返し溝25の高さ方向の位置が、嵌合溝23の底部と略同一位置に設定されていることから、装着部7を上方に折り返した際に、凸状リング部21が露出し、嵌合溝23の溝口が広がった状態になるので、乳首1の装着が容易になるという効果を奏している。
As described above, the nipple 1 according to the present embodiment has a folded groove 25 on the outer peripheral surface at the boundary portion between the nipple main body portion 5 and the mounting portion 7, and the mounting portion 7 has a substantially cylindrical shape and the lower end thereof. By having the tongue piece portion 19 extending downward in the portion, it is possible to achieve the effect that it is easy to put on, it is hard to come off in the wearing state, and it is easy to take off.
Further, since the position of the folded groove 25 in the height direction is set to substantially the same position as the bottom of the fitting groove 23, the convex ring portion 21 is exposed when the mounting portion 7 is folded upward. Since the groove mouth of the fitting groove 23 is widened, the nipple 1 can be easily attached.
 なお、上記の実施の形態では、舌片部19が左右の両側にそれぞれ設けられ、その数が2個であったが、本発明において舌片部19の数は2個に限られず、1個または3個以上であってもよい。
 もっとも、左右両側に2個あれば、装着時に両方の舌片部19を左右の手指でつまんで引き下げる操作ができるので、装着操作が容易になるという効果を奏することができる。
In the above embodiment, the tongue piece portions 19 are provided on both the left and right sides, respectively, and the number thereof is two. However, in the present invention, the number of the tongue piece portions 19 is not limited to two and is one. Alternatively, the number may be three or more.
However, if there are two on both the left and right sides, both tongue pieces 19 can be pinched and pulled down with the left and right fingers at the time of wearing, so that the effect of facilitating the wearing operation can be achieved.
