Description

L'invention a pour objet un adaptateur d'embout à tétine pour bouteille comportant une bague à vis avec une paroi latérale filetée pour recevoir la bague de l'embout et propre à coopérer avec le filetage de la bague de la bouteille.The subject of the invention is a bottle nipple nozzle adapter comprising a screw ring with a threaded side wall to receive the ring of the nozzle and suitable for cooperating with the threading of the bottle ring.

L'eau minérale est utilisée, de longue date, pour la préparation de boissons destinées à être données aux nourrissons à l'aide de biberons, lesquels comportent généralement une tétine rapportée de manière amovible sur un flacon à large goulot par une bague filetée propre à être vissée sur ledit goulot, comme montré, par exemple, par DE-C-322 837. La bague et la tétine forment après montage sur le flacon un embout étanche au liquide mais qui autorise l'entrée d'air dans le biberon, au fur et à mesure de la tétée par le nourrisson. Les flacons et les embouts à tétine sont stérilisés avant remplissage des biberons, y compris pour ceux destinés à être garnis d'eau minérale que l'on donne fréquemment à un jeune enfant lors de promenades, de voyages ou de déplacements analogues. Il faut alors emporter lors de ces déplacements un ou plusieurs flacons à tétine stérilisés et les bouteilles d'eau minérale pour leur remplissage : le poids et l'encombrement qui en résultent, notamment pour la jeune mère, peuvent alors constituer une gêne.Mineral water has long been used for the preparation of drinks intended to be given to infants using bottles, which generally have a teat removably attached to a large-necked bottle by a threaded ring suitable for be screwed onto said neck, as shown, for example, by DE-C-322 837. The ring and the nipple form, after mounting on the bottle, a nozzle which is liquid tight but which allows the entry of air into the bottle, at as the infant feeds. The bottles and the nipple tips are sterilized before filling the bottles, including those intended to be filled with mineral water that is frequently given to a young child during walks, trips or similar trips. It is then necessary to take along during these trips one or more sterilized teat bottles and bottles of mineral water for their filling: the weight and the resulting congestion, especially for the young mother, can then constitute a discomfort.

C'est, précisément, un but de l'invention, de fournir un dispositif qui permet de s'affranchir de cet inconvénient.It is, precisely, an object of the invention, to provide a device which makes it possible to overcome this drawback.

C'est, à cet égard, un but de l'invention de tirer parti du fait que l'on trouve maintenant sur le marché de l'eau minérale conditionnée, -en usine et avec toutes les garanties d'hygiène-, dans des bouteilles comprenant une bague à vis, même si ces bouteilles comportent, de fabrication, des goulots à bague d'un diamètre déterminé, différent de celui des bagues des embouts à tétine usuels du commerce.It is, in this regard, an object of the invention to take advantage of the fact that we now find on the market packaged mineral water, - in the factory and with all guarantees of hygiene -, in bottles comprising a screw ring, even if these bottles have, by manufacture, neck necks of a determined diameter, different from that of the rings of the usual nipple tips on the market.

C'est, par conséquent, un but de l'invention de fournir un adaptateur permettant d'associer, de manière simple et sûre, un embout à tétine usuel à une bouteille comprenant une bague à vis, en particulier à une bouteille d'eau minérale en matière plastique.It is therefore an object of the invention to provide an adapter making it possible to associate, in a simple and safe manner, a usual nipple tip with a bottle comprising a screw ring, in particular with a water bottle mineral plastic.

Un adaptateur d'embout à tétine selon l'invention, pour bouteille comportant une bague à vis avec une paroi latérale filetée pour recevoir la bague de l'embout et propre à coopérer avec le filetage de la bague de la bouteille est alors caractérisé en ce que, pour coopérer avec le filetage de la bague de la bouteille, il présente une cheminée intérieure et, en outre, une jupe liée à la cheminée, conformée et positionnée de manière telle qu'elle coopère à étanchéité avec la face interne de la bague de la bouteille lorsque l'adaptateur est rapporté sur cette dernière par vissage de sa cheminée sur ladite bague.A nipple adapter according to the invention, for a bottle comprising a screw ring with a threaded side wall for receiving the ring of the nozzle and suitable for cooperating with the thread of the ring of the bottle is then characterized in that that, to cooperate with the thread of the ring of the bottle, it has an internal chimney and, moreover, a skirt linked to the chimney, shaped and positioned in such a way that it cooperates with sealing with the internal face of the ring of the bottle when the adapter is attached to the latter by screwing its chimney onto said ring.

Dans une forme de réalisation préférée de l'invention, l'adaptateur est en matière plastique, comme du polyéthylène, avantageusement moulé d'une pièce par injection de manière à former à l'extrémité intérieure de la jupe une multiplicité de rayons qui sont ensuite sectionnés.In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the adapter is made of plastic, such as polyethylene, advantageously molded in one piece by injection so as to form at the inner end of the skirt a multiplicity of spokes which are then sectioned.

La cheminée est avantageusement reliée à la jupe par une partie sensiblement annulaire plane.The chimney is advantageously connected to the skirt by a substantially annular planar part.

Dans une réalisation préférée, le diamètre de la cheminée intérieure filetée est de l'ordre de 26-28 mm et le diamètre de la paroi latérale externe filetée de l'ordre de 43 mm.In a preferred embodiment, the diameter of the internal threaded chimney is of the order of 26-28 mm and the diameter of the external threaded side wall of the order of 43 mm.

L'invention sera bien comprise par la description qui suite, faite à titre d'exemple et en référence au dessin annexé dans lequel :

  • la figure 1 est une vue éclatée, moitié en coupe et moitié en élévation, d'une bouteille d'eau minérale comprenant une bague à vis à laquelle est associé un adaptateur selon l'invention et un dispositif d'embout à tétine ;
  • la figure 2 est une vue moitié en coupe, moitié en élévation, analogue à celle de la figure 1, mais dans la condition d'assemblage des éléments ;
  • la figure 2A est une vue partielle, à plus grande échelle, d'une partie de la figure 2 ;
  • la figure 3 est une vue moitié en coupe et moitié en élévation, à plus grande échelle, d'un adaptateur selon l'invention.
The invention will be better understood from the description which follows, given by way of example and with reference to the appended drawing in which:
  • Figure 1 is an exploded view, half in section and half in elevation, of a bottle of mineral water comprising a screw ring with which is associated a adapter according to the invention and a pacifier tip device;
  • Figure 2 is a half sectional view, half in elevation, similar to that of Figure 1, but in the condition of assembly of the elements;
  • FIG. 2A is a partial view, on a larger scale, of part of FIG. 2;
  • Figure 3 is a half sectional view and half in elevation, on a larger scale, of an adapter according to the invention.

Un adaptateur d'embout à tétine, 10, selon l'invention, est destiné à équiper une bouteille 11 dont la bague 12 comporte un filetage 13.A nipple tip adapter 10, according to the invention, is intended to equip a bottle 11, the ring 12 of which has a thread 13.

La bouteille 11 peut, mais sans que cette indication ait quelque caractère limitatif que ce soit, être une bouteille en verre, ou une bouteille en matière plastique, avantageusement en PVC, d'une contenance de 33 ou 50 cl et qui est remplie d'eau minérale naturelle à l'usine d'embouteillage.The bottle 11 may, but without this indication having any limiting nature whatsoever, be a glass bottle, or a plastic bottle, advantageously made of PVC, with a capacity of 33 or 50 cl and which is filled with natural mineral water at the bottling plant.

Pour des bouteilles de ce type, la bague 12 avec laquelle coopère pour sa fermeture étanche un bouchon à vis, non représenté, a un diamètre qui est de l'ordre de 26-28 mm de sorte qu'il ne peut pas recevoir, directement, un embout à tétine usuel du commerce.For bottles of this type, the ring 12 with which cooperates for its leaktight closure a screw cap, not shown, has a diameter which is of the order of 26-28 mm so that it cannot receive, directly , a common pacifier tip on the market.

C'est pour permettre le montage d'un tel embout, constitué par une tétine proprement dite 14 à collerette 14′ et bague filetée 15, que l'invention propose l'adapta­teur 10.It is to allow the mounting of such a nozzle, constituted by a nipple proper 14 with a flange 14 ′ and a threaded ring 15, that the invention proposes the adapter 10.

Comme bien visible sur la figure 3, celui-ci présente une cheminée intérieure 20 propre à coopérer avec le filetage 13 du col de la bouteille 11, une paroi latérale externe 21 à filetage 22 pour recevoir la bague 15 de l'embout à tétine et une jupe 23, sensiblement cylindrique, de plus petit diamètre que la cheminée 20 à laquelle elle est reliée par une partie annulaire plane 24. L'extrémité libre de la paroi latérale externe 21 est conformée, à la suite d'un épaulement 25, suivant un court manchon 24′ guilloché sur sa face externe, comme montré en 26, pour en faciliter l'actionnement.As clearly visible in FIG. 3, this has an internal chimney 20 suitable for cooperating with the thread 13 of the neck of the bottle 11, an external side wall 21 with thread 22 for receiving the ring 15 of the nipple tip and a skirt 23, substantially cylindrical, of smaller diameter than the chimney 20 to which it is connected by a flat annular part 24. The free end of the external side wall 21 is shaped, following a shoulder 25, along a short sleeve 24 ′ guilloche on its external face, as shown in 26, to facilitate actuation.

Dans une réalisation préférée, l'adaptateur 10 est moulé d'une seule pièce en matière plastique, comme du polyéthylène, et de préférence par injection à partir du centre O du cercle défini par l'extrémité libre 27 de la jupe 23 pour former d'abord une multiplicité de rayons qui sont ensuite sectionnés de l'adaptateur lui-même.In a preferred embodiment, the adapter 10 is molded in one piece from plastic, such as polyethylene, and preferably by injection from the center O of the circle defined by the free end 27 of the skirt 23 to form d 'first a multiplicity of rays which are then sectioned from the adapter itself.

Le mode d'utilisation de ce dernier résulte immédiatement de ce qui précède : après avoir retiré le bouchon à vis de la bouteille 11, celle-ci est munie de l'adaptateur 10 par vissage de la cheminée 20 qu'il comporte sur le filetage 13, ce qui applique simultanément à étanchéité la jupe 23 contre la face interne du col 12 de la bouteille, compte-tenu des dimensions et du positionnement de ladite jupe, figure 2A. Lorsque l'on rapporte ensuite l'embout à tétine sur l'adaptateur, par vissage de la bague 15 sur la paroi latérale externe 21 à filet de vis 22, on obtient très simplement un biberon d'eau minérale naturelle, figure 2, prêt à être donné à un nourrisson.The mode of use of the latter immediately results from the above: after removing the screw cap of the bottle 11, the latter is provided with the adapter 10 by screwing the chimney 20 which it comprises on the thread 13, which applies simultaneously to sealing the skirt 23 against the internal face of the neck 12 of the bottle, taking into account the dimensions and the positioning of said skirt, FIG. 2A. When the nipple tip is then attached to the adapter, by screwing the ring 15 onto the external side wall 21 with screw thread 22, a bottle of natural mineral water is very simply obtained, FIG. 2, ready to be given to an infant.

Le résultat est obtenu en mettant en oeuvre des embouts à tétine usuels du commerce, c'est-à-dire des embouts dont la bague 15 a un diamètre de l'ordre de 43 mm, et cela de manière simple et sûre, sans qu'il faille appli­quer de couple de serrage important pour réaliser l'étanchéité de l'embout sur la bouteille, sans avoir à utiliser de joint rapporté et sans intervenir sur le fonctionnement de la tétine qui, étanche à l'eau, autorise néanmoins l'entrée d'air dans le biberon au fur et à mesure de la tétée par le nourrisson.The result is obtained by using common commercial nipple nipples, that is to say nipples whose ring 15 has a diameter of about 43 mm, and this in a simple and safe manner, without 'it is necessary to apply significant tightening torque to achieve the sealing of the nozzle on the bottle, without having to use an attached gasket and without affecting the operation of the teat which, waterproof, nevertheless authorizes the air entering the bottle as the infant feeds.

L'adaptateur 10 peut être utilisé et réutilisé à de nombreuses reprises sans avoir à prendre d'autres précautions que celles de le conserver propre.The adapter 10 can be used and reused many times without having to take any precautions other than keeping it clean.
