Definitions
- the invention relates to the technical sector of feeding products and their components: baby bottle, pacifier.
- the teats of baby bottles are made in one flexible material such as elastomer with a particular profile allowing their sucking by child
- Each teat thus has a contoured curve with an area of small section forming a neck capable of being taken in the mouth and extending through a body wider cylindrical to fit into the bottle nut ring on the liquid container and which ensures the connection and assembly of the assembly.
- a peripheral flange formed on the teat seals against the ring-nut, other complementary sealing means being provided between said ring-nut and the container.
- the teat has one or more liquid passage openings.
- the problem is that the bottles are subjected, in in some cases, untimely manipulation, or desired agitation for allow the components of the drinking liquid to be mixed. So it happens very often there are leaks and losses of liquid escaping through the perforations formed on the teat allowing the liquid to flow out.
- the nipple can therefore be very easily soiled externally by these flows as well as the protective cover. There are also more or less fluid losses important which involve, in a non negligible way, the reduction of the dosage initially introduced into the container.
- the appearance on the body outside the nipple of liquid flow areas, dairy or otherwise can cause splashes or dirt on baby's clothes and in a way general flows or projections are troublesome around the environment how to use the bottle.
- the aim sought after according to the invention was therefore, from all of these constraints, to realize and design a specific arrangement of the bottle, low manufacturing cost, and which can allow the transport and / or agitation of baby bottles in the best conditions avoiding the loss of liquid whatever either the circumstances.
- the aim sought after according to the invention was to design a device ensuring the closing and sealing of the bottle nipple from its part used forming the neck by a temporary transverse tightening action
- the bottle nipple seal is intended to fit on the upper part of the teat resting on its container, whose characteristics, shapes and dimensions may vary.
- the characteristics of the teat, its profile, its constituent material, may also vary, it is nevertheless considered that the teat remains made of a flexible and deformable material to respect, on the one hand, food hygiene conditions and, on the other hand, allow suction by the child.
- the teat referenced as a whole by (1) comprises a first tapered zone (1a) forming a neck for the mouth, extended by a wider cylindrical conformation zone (1b) having at the end a peripheral flange (1c) intended to come into internal support against the clamping ring nut (2) engaging itself on the receptacle (3) some cash.
- the clamping nut ring is also established anyway suitable ensuring, in combination with the container, the functions well known sealing.
- the device is remarkable in that it includes an additional ring (4) forming a selector arranged internally with two tongues (4a - 4b) articulated by their base (4c) secured to the face inside of the selector ring and being arranged diametrically opposite one to the other the other, said tabs being in one piece with the selector ring. said tabs are pivoted to move away or closer to contact of the walls of the teat requested according to the desired non-sealing phase or sealing the teat. Furthermore, said selector ring cooperates with a profiled cap (5) which, in a particular implementation, surrounds and protects the teat and the selector ring.
- the cap is positioned on the nut ring by clipping or otherwise and thus being in a fixed but removable position.
- This cap advantageously and internally has means (Sa - 5b) radial to fixed position, constituting stop means, on the one hand, of the selector ring and, on the other hand, allowing the articulation of the interior tongues (4a - 4b).
- These means can be radial ribs commerc shown in Figure 3 by example. Alternatively, these means can be established closed, as shown Figure 8, in the form of a loop showing a positioning cavity.
- the aforementioned cap has for example a window (5c) of rectangular shape and established according to an angular sector of approximately 40 to 90 degrees, and preferably of around 70 degrees, the length of this sector being very precisely defined by compared to the extreme positioning of the aforementioned tabs in opening and release of the teat or closing and clamping transverse thereof.
- said selector ring has notches (4d) which allow its positioning and its retention in the cap in support and guiding with respect to one of the radial ribs (5a) formed in said cap and more generally fixed means (5a).
- Said tabs (4a - 4b) are shaped as a strip or flat part of great length (4a1 - 4b1) disposed between its ends.
- a first end (4a2 - 4b2) is defined by a zone of connection and connection with the selector ring (5), being thinned by a reduction of material for example, while allowing the articulation of the tongue. Its other free end (4a3) - 4b3) is shaped as a stud by example, of any profile suitable for coming into abutment and abutting against another radial rib (5b) shaped in the cap.
- the selector ring is advantageously shaped, on its outer face, with a projecting shape (4d) capable of engaging and overflowing into the window (5c) established on the cap (5) to constitute a push button (4f) allowing the opening-closing adjustments of the transverse clamping device pacifier.
- additional means are provided in the form of, for example, projections (4th - 5d) or micro-teeth established, on the one hand, on the cap and, on the other hand, on the selector ring, in appropriate places allowing a holding by clipping or other in the two desired end positions.
- the removable connection of the selector ring with respect to the cap is effected by all male-female complementary means formed on the two elements.
- FIGS. 6 and 7 show another alternative embodiment of the invention.
- the selector ring (4) is positioned in the extension of the cap and clipped relative thereto, so that allow partial rotation of one relative to the other controlled manually.
- the selector ring is arranged, as indicated above, with the means of tightening the neck of the nipple, while the body of the cap of the fixed means (Sa - 5b) as shown above.
- neither the ring selector, nor the cap does not present a window for their reciprocal orientation.
- the selector ring In the transverse non-pinching phase of the nipple, at the location of its zone tapered forming collar for its mouthing shown in Figure 3, the selector ring is in a closed position at one end of the window of the cap, as part of the first variant.
- the two tabs do not are not requested and are both in a parallel plane offset one from the other and around the neck of the nipple, without ensuring contact or deformation.
- the free end of each tab is internally pressed against the radial ribs of the cap, while their areas of connection with the selector ring put them in contact with the internal face thereof.
- the notching means or micro-teeth established on the selector ring and the cap ensure a firm hold of the assembly.
- a reverse maneuver is performed by the operator who releases the aforementioned notches by turning the selector ring in the other direction.
- Said selector ring is advantageously clipped by grooves in the cap to maintain it.
- the removal of the selector ring relative to the cap can be done by the exercise of simple pressure.
