Definitions
- the invention relates to a teat unit according to the preamble of patent claim 1.
- the most diverse teat for baby bottles are known. They are usually attached by hand by means of a connecting or receiving unit, such as a rotary ring, on a neck of the baby bottle.
- a connecting or receiving unit such as a rotary ring
- a known suction nipple has a radially outwardly projecting flange. He is touched on the mouthpiece and pulled through a rotary ring until it rests with its flange on an inner side of the rotary ring. The rotary ring is then screwed onto the neck of the baby bottle.
- This teat can be extremely easy to assemble.
- the disadvantage is that the mouthpiece must be touched by hand and could be so contaminated.
- US 7 320 678 discloses a teat with a radially outwardly projecting flange and extending in the mouthpiece, projecting into the body of the teat cylindrical suction tube through which the milk is sucked from the bottle to the suction port of the mouthpiece.
- This suction tube must be inserted into a corresponding receiving tube of the receiving unit. This is relatively difficult to do. Furthermore, this teat can be poorly cleaned.
- US 1 904 710 discloses a teat which is attached directly to a bottleneck. This teat is designed to fold down.
- the inventive suction nipple for connection to a receiving unit of a beverage container has a main body and an adjoining the body, opposite the main body tapered mouthpiece with at least one suction port through which liquid exits the teat to the outside, and with a free end.
- the teat has a first connecting element for connection to the receiving unit and a second connecting element for connection to the receiving unit and a suction channel.
- the suction channel extends in the mouthpiece, opens into the suction opening with a first end and is directed towards the base body with a second end. This second end forms the first connection element for sealing connection with the receiving unit.
- the main body is designed to be foldable towards the free end of the mouthpiece, preferably for the purpose of connecting the first connecting element to the receiving unit.
- the suction opening is in the free end of the mouthpiece, i. in its foremost tip and consists of a single hole.
- the suction opening can also be arranged not laterally in the tip, but laterally in the front region of the mouthpiece. It can also be formed in both variants by several holes.
- the body can be folded over and the first connecting element is easily accessible, in particular exposed, it can be connected to the receiving unit so easier.
- the base body is of a position of use intended for use, which forms a first stable position, hinged in the folded state, said folded state forms a second stable position.
- Another advantage is that the folded-over nipple can be better cleaned, as any complex structures inside the body, such as the first connecting element, are exposed and are more accessible for cleaning.
- the base body is substantially frusto-conical, dome-shaped or hemispherical in shape. Preferably, it has a radially inwardly projecting flange.
- the teat in the folded state of the body surfaces are free to touch, which are not in contact with a liquid flowing through the teat under normal use of the teat, the teat is connected by holding these surfaces with the receiving unit as intended.
- the teat is connectable without additional tools or tools with the receiving unit or mounted on this.
- the folded body can be touched on its inside and the mouthpiece must not be touched at any time. If a tubular suction channel is present in the interior of the main body, then the inside of the main body does not come into contact with the liquid to be drunk.
- the teat therefore has a suction channel which runs in the mouthpiece, opens with a first end into the suction opening and protrudes with a second end into the base body.
- This second end forms the first connecting element for sealing connection with the receiving unit.
- this second end does not protrude beyond the base body in use. In its folded state, however, it is at least partially or even completely surmounted by the first connecting element.
- the suction channel is configured in the form of a hollow cylinder in the region of the second end, wherein it may, for example, have a flange projecting radially outwards or radially inwards.
- the suction nipple on a single-walled mouthpiece, on which an axially inwardly projecting and extending into the main body apron is formed.
- FIGS. 1 to 9 is a preferred embodiment of the invention Saugnippeliser shown.
- FIG. 1 shows a liquid container, here a baby milk bottle 1, with a neck 11 with an external thread 12.
- a baby milk bottle 1 can be a teat 4 by means of a mounting or receiving unit 2, 3 attach.
- the receiving unit 2, 3 consists essentially of two parts: a base part 2 and a receiving head 3.
- the base part 2 is preferably made of polypropylene (PP) or a polyamide, the receiving head 3 of a combination of PP or a polyamide with silicone, rubber or TPE.
- PP polypropylene
- the receiving head 3 of a combination of PP or a polyamide with silicone, rubber or TPE.
- silicone a silicone-based plastic, rubber or TPE is used.
- the base part 2 is dimensionally stable. It consists essentially of an annular body 20 and a truncated cone 25 integrally formed thereon. Centrally in the truncated cone 25, there is provided as the inlet opening of the unit a passage opening or outflow opening 24, which conveys the container interior of the container 1 to the outside, i. to the teat, connects.
- the truncated cone 25 projects beyond the annular body 20 and extends upwards towards the receiving head 3.
- the outflow opening 24 is preferably arranged in the uppermost region, preferably in the flattened tip.
- This base part 2 can be placed on the container neck 11, but without it already fixed in position relative to it, in particular against rotation.
- the stop may be, for example, an inner bearing surface in the upper region of the base ring 2.
- Other types of stops, such as protruding noses or ribs, are also possible.
- the receiving head 3 is also annular and preferably rotationally symmetrical.
- the recording head 3 consists essentially of two areas.
- the lower, preferably hard area is formed here by a plurality of plug-in elements 30, which form uniformly distributed over the circumference portions of a common shell.
- the plug-in elements 30 form on their inside a common internal thread 301. Instead of an internal thread and an external thread may be present if the drinking container 1 is provided with a corresponding internal thread.
- the plug-in elements 30 can be plugged into slots 21 of the base part 2. Locking ribs 33 on the base part and on the receiving head 3 prevent the receiving head 3 from falling out of the base part 2.
- the upper portion of the pickup head 3 may be the same or softer Material to be made as the bottom. It can be arbitrarily shaped in the peripheral area. Preferably, it has peripheral support bodies or structures, in this case support wings 340, which interact with the suction body or teat 4 described below.
- the teat 4 is in the FIGS. 4 to 6 good to see. It has a frustoconical, dome-shaped or hemispherical base body 40 and a mouthpiece 42 formed integrally thereon.
- the mouthpiece 42 is tapered in its outer circumference relative to the base body 40 or this is widened in relation to the mouthpiece in its outer periphery.
- the base body 40 is preferably bent inwards with its lower edge, so that a radially inwardly directed flange 41 is formed. This flange 41 is directed at an angle downwardly out of the opening of the body 40 also.
- the flange 41 is preferably formed relatively narrow and stiffened the lower portion of the body 40 is not or only slightly.
- the mouthpiece 42 is preferably formed in a known manner as a hollow cylinder or as a truncated cone. It preferably forms a thin-walled hollow body with a suction opening 43. It is bendable and / or flexibly deformable. In the mouthpiece 42, preferably in the uppermost tip, the suction opening 43 is present. From this occurs in use sucked out of the container 1 liquid.
- a tubular suction channel 48 also called liquid or milk channel.
- the suction channel 48 opens at one end into the suction opening 43. With its second end, it projects into the base body 40 and forms the inlet opening of the suction nipple 4.
- the mouthpiece 42 forms the upper region of the suction channel 48.
- the lower region of the suction channel 48 is formed by a circumferential skirt 46, which forms an extension of the mouthpiece 42 protruding into the main body 40.
- This apron 46 protrudes to the recording head 3.
- an inwardly or outwardly projecting flange 460 is preferably formed on the skirt 46.
- the suction opening 43 and the suction channel 48 in the upper region has a round cross-section, as in FIG. 7 is recognizable. Since the mouthpiece 42 is formed relatively soft, it is deformed in the intended use and the suction port 43 and the suction channel 48 in the adjacent region, for example, assume an oval shape, as in FIG. 9 is recognizable.
- the mouthpiece 42 may be arbitrarily shaped as long as it remains flexible and pliable. As in particular in the FIGS. 6 and 8 can be seen, the wall of the mouthpiece 42 may increase towards the head part 3 in thickness. This is done here gradually. Typical wall thicknesses are: t1 approx. 0.5 mm, t2 approx. 1.5 mm, t3 and t4 approx. 2.0 mm. Other masses are possible.
- a taper 420 in the inner diameter is present in the mouthpiece 42, so that a deforming cavity 421 is formed in the region of the suction opening 43.
- the cavity 421 is disposed adjacent to the taper 420.
- this cavity 421 as well as the suction opening 43 has a substantially round cross-section. The cross section of this cavity 421 deforms in the intended use. In particular, the cavity 421 may become longer but narrower and change from a round cross-section to an oval cross-section. This shape may change during the sucking process according to the baby.
- the mouthpiece is preferably designed to be bendable and in intended use preferably no parts which stiffen the mouthpiece over a substantial part of its length protrude into this. In the intended use, the mouthpiece is therefore preferably deformable.
- the suction channel 48 is made in one piece with the mouthpiece 42 and is preferably made of the same material.
- the entire suction nipple 4 is integrally formed.
- the suction port 43 is connected in the assembled state via this suction channel 48 and then via the passage opening 32 and the flow opening 24 with the interior of the container 1, so that the baby through this opening his drink, eg Tea, water or milk, you can drink.
- his drink eg Tea, water or milk
- the suction nipple 4 with its base 40 can be put over the receiving head 3.
- the base body 40 is everted according to the invention until it has received its second stable position. This everting can be done by hand by the lower edge of the body 40 is taken and bent upwards and outwards.
- the base body 40 takes on its own from its second stable position, as in FIG. 5 is shown. Like in this one FIG. 5 is clearly visible, is in this stable inverted position, the first connection or fastening means, namely the lower end of the suction channel 48, free and surmounted the everted base body 40.
- the teat 4 by hand on the now outwardly projecting inner surface 400 of the body 40th be taken, and the free end of the suction channel 48, here the skirt 46, can be slipped over the truncated cone 35 and thus over the passage opening 32 of the receiving head 3.
- the flange 460 of the skirt 46 engages behind a bead or a rib of the truncated cone 35 and is there sealingly. Since the skirt 46 is easily visible and easily accessible, this can be done in a simple manner.
- the main body 40 is now folded back into its stable position of use, in turn, only the free edge of the body 40 is pulled down.
- the flange 41 of the base body 40 engages behind the projecting edge between the upper and lower regions of the receiving head 3 and lies flat and sealing against the outer sealing surface 310 of the receiving head 3.
- the suction nipple 4 is now mounted on the receiving head 3, as in FIG. 3 is shown.
- the suction nipple 4 can thus be attached to the receiving head 3 or partially put over him. Subsequently, the recording head 3 can be inserted into the base part 2. The recording head 3 can be stuck in the base part 2, if this is free, but also if it is already on the container neck 1. Since the base part 2 in the axial direction with respect to the recording head 2 can still move easily, the teat 4 can optionally be slipped over the former only when plugged recording head 3 / base part 2.
- the base part 2 or the receiving head 3 By turning the base part 2 or the receiving head 3 on the container neck 11, the two threads, external thread 12 and internal thread 301 engage in one another.
- the recording head 3 runs down the thread along. With him the base part is pulled down to its lower stop.
- Base part 2 and receiving head 3 are now mounted on the container 1 and secured against rotation relative to each other.
- the outer sealing surface 270 of the base part 2 is now pressed relative to the outer sealing surface 310 of the receiving head 3. They clamp the flange 41 of the suction nipple 4 and thus ensure a fluid and airtight connection between the nipple 4, receiving head 3 and base part 2.
- a differently shaped lower edge 41 of the teat 4 between the two parts 2, 3 are clamped sealing.
- the teat can be mounted in a simple manner despite relatively complicated internal structure. As in FIG. 5 can be seen, it can also be cleaned well, since all areas of the teat are easily accessible.
- the described type of mounting with the two-part receiving unit is just one of many possible examples of how a everted suction nipple with exposed connecting element can be mounted.
- the teat must also not necessarily be placed on a receiving unit. He can also penetrate a recording unit, for example.
- the radially inwardly directed flange of the base body can be aligned with the opening plane of the base body or can also be directed at an angle downwards out of the opening of the base body.
- a differently shaped inner connecting means may also be present.
- a suction channel having a radially outwardly projecting flange, which engages behind a correspondingly shaped receptacle of the receiving unit, in particular of the receiving head.
- the first connecting element ie the free end of the suction channel, does not necessarily have to protrude into the main body. It is also possible that the suction channel with the towards the main body towards the end of the mouthpiece ends.
- This free end of the suction channel is shaped so that it allows a sealing, preferably pluggable connection with the receiving unit, for example by Buffalo suitable sealant on or in the suction channel.
- this end region of the suction channel may be formed as a cone, which receives the receiving unit under bias.
- the mouthpiece and / or the suction channel may be formed inside and / or outside, for example, hollow cylindrical or frustoconical.
- the suction opening may be chosen to be relatively large or small.
- the suction opening may have approximately the same cross-sectional area as the suction channel over its entire length.
- the suction opening may also have a smaller cross-sectional area than the suction channel.
- the inventive Saugnippelody can be connected in a simple and hygienic way with the suction bottle and further clean well.

Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Saugnippeleinheit gemäss Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1.The invention relates to a teat unit according to the preamble of patent claim 1.
Im Stand der Technik sind die unterschiedlichsten Saugnippel für Babyflaschen bekannt. Sie werden üblicherweise von Hand mittels einer Verbindungs- oder Aufnahmeeinheit, beispielsweise eines Drehrings, auf einen Hals der Babyflasche befestigt. Ein bekannter Saugnippel weist einen radial nach aussen vorstehenden Flansch auf. Er wird am Mundstück angefasst und durch einen Drehring gezogen, bis er mit seinem Flansch an einer Innenseite des Drehrings anliegt. Der Drehring wird anschliessend auf den Hals der Babyflasche aufgeschraubt. Dieser Saugnippel lässt sich zwar äusserst einfach montieren. Nachteilig ist jedoch, dass das Mundstück von Hand angefasst werden muss und so verunreinigt werden könnte.In the prior art, the most diverse teat for baby bottles are known. They are usually attached by hand by means of a connecting or receiving unit, such as a rotary ring, on a neck of the baby bottle. A known suction nipple has a radially outwardly projecting flange. He is touched on the mouthpiece and pulled through a rotary ring until it rests with its flange on an inner side of the rotary ring. The rotary ring is then screwed onto the neck of the baby bottle. This teat can be extremely easy to assemble. The disadvantage, however, is that the mouthpiece must be touched by hand and could be so contaminated.
Es ist deshalb eine Aufgabe der Erfindung, einen Saugnippel der eingangs genannten Art zu schaffen, welcher auf möglichst einfache Art und Weise auf die Babyflasche montiert werden kann und welcher trotz allfällig komplexem Aufbau einfach zu reinigen ist.It is therefore an object of the invention to provide a teat of the type mentioned, which can be mounted in the simplest possible way on the baby bottle and which is easy to clean despite any complex structure.
Diese Aufgabe löst eine Saugnippeleinheit mit den Merkmalen des Patentanspruchs 1.This object is achieved by a teat unit with the features of patent claim 1.
Der erfindungsgemässe Saugnippel zur Verbindung mit einer Aufnahmeeinheit eines Getränkebehälters weist einen Grundkörper und ein an den Grundkörper anschliessendes, gegenüber dem Grundkörper verjüngtes Mundstück mit mindestens einer Saugöffnung auf, durch welche Flüssigkeit aus dem Saugnippel nach aussen austritt, und mit einem freien Ende. Der Saugnippel weist ein erstes Verbindungselement zur Verbindung mit der Aufnahmeeinheit und ein zweites Verbindungselement zur Verbindung mit der Aufnahmeeinheit sowie einen Saugkanal auf. Der Saugkanal verläuft im Mundstück, mündet mit einem ersten Ende in die Saugöffnung und ist mit einem zweiten Ende zum Grundkörper hin gerichtet. Dieses zweite Ende bildet das erste Verbindungselement zur dichtenden Verbindung mit der Aufnahmeeinheit. Erfindungsgemäss ist der Grundkörper zum freien Ende des Mundstücks hin umklappbar ausgestaltet, vorzugsweise zwecks Verbindung des ersten Verbindungselements mit der Aufnahmeeinheit.The inventive suction nipple for connection to a receiving unit of a beverage container has a main body and an adjoining the body, opposite the main body tapered mouthpiece with at least one suction port through which liquid exits the teat to the outside, and with a free end. The teat has a first connecting element for connection to the receiving unit and a second connecting element for connection to the receiving unit and a suction channel. The suction channel extends in the mouthpiece, opens into the suction opening with a first end and is directed towards the base body with a second end. This second end forms the first connection element for sealing connection with the receiving unit. According to the invention, the main body is designed to be foldable towards the free end of the mouthpiece, preferably for the purpose of connecting the first connecting element to the receiving unit.
Vorzugsweise befindet sich die Saugöffnung im freien Ende des Mundstücks, d.h. in seiner vordersten Spitze und besteht aus einem einzigen Loch. Die Saugöffnung kann auch im vorderen Bereich des Mundstücks nicht in der Spitze, sondern seitlich angeordnet sein. Sie kann zudem in beiden Varianten durch mehrere Löcher gebildet sein.Preferably, the suction opening is in the free end of the mouthpiece, i. in its foremost tip and consists of a single hole. The suction opening can also be arranged not laterally in the tip, but laterally in the front region of the mouthpiece. It can also be formed in both variants by several holes.
Da der Grundkörper umgeklappt werden kann und das erste Verbindungselement dadurch gut zugänglich ist, insbesondere freiliegt, kann es so einfacher mit der Aufnahmeeinheit verbunden werden.Since the body can be folded over and the first connecting element is easily accessible, in particular exposed, it can be connected to the receiving unit so easier.
Vorzugsweise ist der Grundkörper von einer bestimmungsgemässen Gebrauchslage, welche eine erste stabile Lage bildet, in den umgeklappten Zustand klappbar, wobei dieser umgeklappte Zustand eine zweite stabile Lage bildet.Preferably, the base body is of a position of use intended for use, which forms a first stable position, hinged in the folded state, said folded state forms a second stable position.
Ein weiterer Vorteil ist, dass der umgeklappte Saugnippel besser gereinigt werden kann, da allfällige komplexe Strukturen im Innern des Grundkörpers, wie beispielsweise das erste Verbindungselement, frei liegen und zwecks Reinigung besser zugänglich sind.Another advantage is that the folded-over nipple can be better cleaned, as any complex structures inside the body, such as the first connecting element, are exposed and are more accessible for cleaning.
In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist der Grundkörper im Wesentlichen kegelstumpfförmig, kalotten- oder halbkugelförmig ausgebildet. Vorzugsweise weist er einen radial nach innen ragenden Flansch auf.In a preferred embodiment, the base body is substantially frusto-conical, dome-shaped or hemispherical in shape. Preferably, it has a radially inwardly projecting flange.
In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform liegen im umgeklappten Zustand des Grundkörpers Flächen zur Berührung frei, welche bei bestimmungsgemässem Gebrauch des Saugnippels nicht in Kontakt mit einer durch den Saugnippel fliessenden Flüssigkeit stehen, wobei der Saugnippel alleine durch Halten an diesen Flächen mit der Aufnahmeeinheit bestimmungsgemäss verbindbar ist. Vorzugsweise ist der Saugnippel ohne zusätzliche Hilfsmittel oder Werkzeuge mit der Aufnahmeeinheit verbindbar bzw. auf dieser montierbar.In a preferred embodiment, in the folded state of the body surfaces are free to touch, which are not in contact with a liquid flowing through the teat under normal use of the teat, the teat is connected by holding these surfaces with the receiving unit as intended. Preferably, the teat is connectable without additional tools or tools with the receiving unit or mounted on this.
Dies ist ein weiterer Vorteil, da der Saugnippel ausschliesslich an Stellen angefasst werden kann, welche später im bestimmungsgemässen Gebrauch weder in den Mund des Babys gelangen, noch von der Milch oder der zu trinkenden Flüssigkeit kontaktiert werden. Dadurch ist gewährleistet, dass auch die Montage des Saugnippels unter Berücksichtigung hoher Hygienestandards erfolgen kann. Gerade bei Frühgeborenen und Neugeborenen ist dies sehr wichtig.This is a further advantage, since the teat can only be touched in places which later, in the intended use, neither reach the baby's mouth nor are contacted by the milk or the liquid to be drunk. This ensures that the assembly of the suction nipple can take place in consideration of high hygiene standards. Especially in premature babies and newborns, this is very important.
Der umgeklappte Grundkörper lässt sich auf seiner Innenseite anfassen und das Mundstück muss zu keinem Zeitpunkt berührt werden. Ist im Innern des Grundkörpers ein röhrenförmiger Saugkanal vorhanden, so kommt auch die Innenseite des Grundkörpers nicht in Kontakt mit der zu trinkenden Flüssigkeit.The folded body can be touched on its inside and the mouthpiece must not be touched at any time. If a tubular suction channel is present in the interior of the main body, then the inside of the main body does not come into contact with the liquid to be drunk.
In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform weist der Saugnippel deshalb einen Saugkanal auf, welcher im Mundstück verläuft, mit einem ersten Ende in die Saugöffnung mündet und mit einem zweiten Ende in den Grundkörper hineinragt. Dieses zweite Ende bildet dabei das erste Verbindungselement zur dichtenden Verbindung mit der Aufnahmeeinheit. Vorzugsweise überragt dieses zweite Ende den Grundkörper im Gebrauchszustand nicht. In seinem umgeklappten Zustand hingegen wird er vom ersten Verbindungselement mindestens teilweise oder sogar vollständig überragt. Vorzugsweise ist der Saugkanal im Bereich des zweiten Endes hohlzylinderförmig ausgestaltet, wobei er beispielsweise einen radial nach aussen oder radial nach innen ragenden Flansch aufweisen kann.In a preferred embodiment, the teat therefore has a suction channel which runs in the mouthpiece, opens with a first end into the suction opening and protrudes with a second end into the base body. This second end forms the first connecting element for sealing connection with the receiving unit. Preferably, this second end does not protrude beyond the base body in use. In its folded state, however, it is at least partially or even completely surmounted by the first connecting element. Preferably, the suction channel is configured in the form of a hollow cylinder in the region of the second end, wherein it may, for example, have a flange projecting radially outwards or radially inwards.
In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform weist der Saugnippel ein einwandiges Mundstück auf, an welchem eine axial nach innen ragende und in den Grundkörper hineinreichende Schürze angeformt ist.In a preferred embodiment, the suction nipple on a single-walled mouthpiece, on which an axially inwardly projecting and extending into the main body apron is formed.
Weitere vorteilhafte Ausführungsformen gehen aus den abhängigen Patentansprüchen hervor.Further advantageous embodiments will become apparent from the dependent claims.

Im Mundstück 42 verläuft ein röhrenförmiger Saugkanal 48, auch Flüssigkeits- oder Milchkanal genannt. Der Saugkanal 48 mündet mit einem Ende in die Saugöffnung 43. Mit seinem zweiten Ende ragt er in den Grundkörper 40 hinein und bildet die Eingangsöffnung des Saugnippels 4.In the
In diesem Beispiel bildet das Mundstück 42 den oberen Bereich des Saugkanals 48. Der untere Bereich des Saugkanals 48 wird durch eine umlaufende Schürze 46 gebildet, welche eine in den Grundkörper 40 hineinragende Verlängerung des Mundstücks 42 bildet. Diese Schürze 46 ragt zum Aufnahmekopf 3 hin. An der Schürze 46 ist vorzugsweise ein nach innen oder nach aussen ragender Flansch 460 angeformt. Vorzugsweise weist die Saugöffnung 43 bzw. der Saugkanal 48 im oberen Bereich einen runden Querschnitt auf, wie dies in
Das Mundstück 42 kann beliebig geformt sein, solange es flexibel und biegeweich bleibt. Wie insbesondere in den
Das Mundstück ist vorzugsweise biegeweich ausgebildet und im bestimmungsgemässen Gebrauch ragen vorzugsweise keine Teile, welche das Mundstück über einen wesentlichen Teil seiner Länge versteifen, in dieses hinein. Im bestimmungsgemässen Gebrauch ist das Mundstück deshalb vorzugsweise deformierbar ausgebildet.The mouthpiece is preferably designed to be bendable and in intended use preferably no parts which stiffen the mouthpiece over a substantial part of its length protrude into this. In the intended use, the mouthpiece is therefore preferably deformable.
Andere Ausführungsformen sind möglich. In diesem Beispiel ist der Saugkanal 48 einstückig gemeinsam mit dem Mundstück 42 gefertigt und besteht vorzugsweise aus demselben Material. Vorzugsweise ist der ganze Saugnippel 4 einstückig ausgebildet.Other embodiments are possible. In this example, the
Die Saugöffnung 43 ist im montierten Zustand über diesen Saugkanal 48 und anschliessend über die Durchgangsöffnung 32 und die Durchflussöffnung 24 mit dem Innenraum des Behälters 1 verbunden, so dass das Baby durch diese Öffnung sein Getränk, z.B. Tee, Wasser oder Milch, trinken kann.The
Wie in
Der Grundkörper 40 wird nun wieder in seine stabile Gebrauchslage hinuntergeklappt, indem wiederum lediglich der freie Rand des Grundkörpers 40 nach unten gezogen wird. Der Flansch 41 des Grundkörpers 40 hintergreift die vorstehende Kante zwischen oberem und unterem Bereich des Aufnahmekopfes 3 und liegt flach und dichtend an der äusseren Dichtfläche 310 des Aufnahmekopfes 3 an. Der Saugnippel 4 ist nun auf dem Aufnahmekopf 3 montiert, wie dies in
Der Saugnippel 4 lässt sich somit auf den Aufnahmekopf 3 aufstecken bzw. teilweise über ihn stülpen. Anschliessend lässt sich der Aufnahmekopf 3 in das Basisteil 2 einstecken. Der Aufnahmekopf 3 lässt sich in das Basisteil 2 stecken, wenn dieses frei ist, aber auch, wenn es sich bereits auf dem Behälterhals 1 befindet. Da sich das Basisteil 2 in axialer Richtung bezüglich des Aufnahmekopfes 2 noch leicht verschieben lässt, kann der Saugnippel 4 wahlweise auch erst bei zusammengestecktem Aufnahmekopf 3/ Basisteil 2 über ersteren gestülpt werden.The suction nipple 4 can thus be attached to the receiving
Durch Drehen des Basisteils 2 oder des Aufnahmekopfes 3 auf dem Behälterhals 11 greifen die zwei Gewinde, Aussengewinde 12 und Innengewinde 301, ineinander. Der Aufnahmekopf 3 läuft dem Gewinde entlang nach unten. Mit ihm wird das Basisteil hinuntergezogen bis zu seinem unteren Anschlag. Basisteil 2 und Aufnahmekopf 3 sind nun auf dem Behälter 1 befestigt und relativ zueinander verdrehgesichert. Dadurch wird nun die äussere Dichtfläche 270 des Basisteils 2 relativ zur äusseren Dichtfläche 310 des Aufnahmekopfes 3 gedrückt. Sie klemmen dabei den Flansch 41 des Saugnippels 4 ein und sorgen somit für eine flüssigkeits- und luftdichte Verbindung zwischen Saugnippel 4, Aufnahmekopf 3 und Basisteil 2. Je nach Ausgestaltung kann auch ein anders geformter unterer Rand 41 des Saugnippels 4 zwischen den zwei Teilen 2, 3 dichtend eingeklemmt werden.By turning the
Wie oben beschrieben, lässt sich somit der Saugnippel trotz relativ kompliziertem inneren Aufbau auf einfache Art und Weise montieren. Wie in
Die beschriebene Montageart mit der zweiteiligen Aufnahmeeinheit ist lediglich eines von vielen möglichen Beispielen, wie ein umgestülpter Saugnippel mit freiliegendem Verbindungselement montiert werden kann. Der Saugnippel muss auch nicht zwingend auf eine Aufnahmeeinheit aufgesetzt werden. Er kann eine Aufnahmeeinheit auch beispielsweise durchdringen. Der radial nach innen gerichtete Flansch des Grundkörpers kann mit der Öffnungsebene des Grundkörpers fluchten oder kann auch in einem Winkel nach unten aus der Öffnung des Grundkörpers hinaus gerichtet sein.The described type of mounting with the two-part receiving unit is just one of many possible examples of how a everted suction nipple with exposed connecting element can be mounted. The teat must also not necessarily be placed on a receiving unit. He can also penetrate a recording unit, for example. The radially inwardly directed flange of the base body can be aligned with the opening plane of the base body or can also be directed at an angle downwards out of the opening of the base body.
Des Weiteren kann anstelle des Saugkanals oder der Schürze auch ein anders geformtes inneres Verbindungsmittel vorhanden sein. Beispielsweise kann ein Saugkanal einen radial nach aussen ragenden Flansch aufweisen, welcher eine entsprechend geformte Aufnahme der Aufnahmeeinheit, insbesondere des Aufnahmekopfes, hintergreift.Furthermore, instead of the suction channel or the skirt, a differently shaped inner connecting means may also be present. For example, a suction channel having a radially outwardly projecting flange, which engages behind a correspondingly shaped receptacle of the receiving unit, in particular of the receiving head.
Das erste Verbindungselement, d.h. das freie Ende des Saugkanals, muss nicht zwingend in den Grundkörper hineinragen. Es ist auch möglich, dass der Saugkanal mit dem zum Grundkörper hin gerichteten Ende des Mundstücks endet. Dieses freie Ende des Saugkanals ist dabei so geformt, dass es eine dichtende, vorzugsweise steckbare Verbindung mit der Aufnahmeeinheit ermöglicht, beispielsweise durch Vorsehung geeigneter Dichtmittel am oder im Saugkanal. Insbesondere kann dieser Endbereich des Saugkanals als Konus ausgebildet sein, welcher die Aufnahmeeinheit unter Vorspannung aufnimmt.The first connecting element, ie the free end of the suction channel, does not necessarily have to protrude into the main body. It is also possible that the suction channel with the towards the main body towards the end of the mouthpiece ends. This free end of the suction channel is shaped so that it allows a sealing, preferably pluggable connection with the receiving unit, for example by Providence suitable sealant on or in the suction channel. In particular, this end region of the suction channel may be formed as a cone, which receives the receiving unit under bias.
Das Mundstück und/oder der Saugkanal können innen und/oder aussen beispielsweise hohlzylinderförmig oder kegelstumpfförmig ausgebildet sein. Die Saugöffnung kann relativ gross oder klein gewählt sein. Die Saugöffnung kann insbesondere annähernd dieselbe Querschnittsfläche aufweisen wie der Saugkanal über seine gesamte Länge. Die Saugöffnung kann auch eine kleinere Querschnittsfläche aufweisen als der Saugkanal. Diese Varianten lassen sich beliebig miteinander kombinieren.The mouthpiece and / or the suction channel may be formed inside and / or outside, for example, hollow cylindrical or frustoconical. The suction opening may be chosen to be relatively large or small. In particular, the suction opening may have approximately the same cross-sectional area as the suction channel over its entire length. The suction opening may also have a smaller cross-sectional area than the suction channel. These variants can be combined with each other as desired.
Die erfindungsgemässe Saugnippeleinheit lässt sich auf einfache sowie hygienische Art und Weise mit der Saugflasche verbinden und des Weiteren gut reinigen.The inventive Saugnippeleinheit can be connected in a simple and hygienic way with the suction bottle and further clean well.
