Definitions
- the invention relates to a suction nipple 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 base of the teat cylindrical suction tube through which the milk is sucked from the bottle to the mouth of the mouthpiece.
- This suction tube must be inserted into a suitable receiving tube of the receiving unit. This is relatively difficult to do. Furthermore, this teat can be poorly cleaned.
- the inventive suction nipple for connection to a receiving unit of a beverage container has a main body and a connecting to the main body, tapered relative to the main body 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 mammal opening can also be arranged in the front area of the mouthpiece not in the top, but laterally. It can also be formed in both variants by several holes.
- the base body can be folded over and the first connecting element is thus easily accessible, in particular exposed, it can be connected to the receiving unit in a simpler manner.
- 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, since 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 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.
- Figure 1 is an exploded view of a baby bottle with a receiving unit and an inventive nipple in a first embodiment
- Figure 2 shows the baby bottle, receiving unit and teat according to Figure 1 with a folded down for assembly teat;
- FIG. 3 shows the suction nipple attached to a part of the receiving unit; according to FIG. 1;
- Figure 4 is a perspective view of the suction nipple according to Figure 1 in the intended position of use;
- FIG. 5 shows the suction nipple according to FIG. 4 in the folded-over state
- FIG. 6 shows a longitudinal section through the teat according to FIG. 4 when not in use
- FIG. 7 shows a cross section perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the teat through an upper region of the teat according to FIG. 6;
- FIG. 8 shows a longitudinal section through the teat according to FIG. 4 during intended use
- FIG. 9 shows a cross section perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the teat through an upper region of the teat according to FIG. 8.
- FIGS. 1 to 9 show a preferred exemplary embodiment of the inventive suction nipple.
- FIG. 1 shows a liquid container, here a baby milk bottle 1, with a neck 11 with an external thread 12.
- a suction nipple 4 can be fastened to the baby milk bottle 1 by means of a mounting or receiving unit 2, 3.
- 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 essentially consists of a ring body 20 and a truncated cone 25 integrally formed thereon. Centrally in the truncated cone 25, there is a passage opening or outflow opening 24 as the inlet opening of the unit, 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 a common internal thread 301 on their inside. Instead of an internal thread, an external thread can also be provided 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 Aumahmekopfes 3 may be the same or a 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 supporting wings 340, which interact with the suction body or teat 4 described below.
- the teat 4 is clearly visible in FIGS. 4 to 6. It has a frusto-conical, 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 mammal 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 protrudes into the base body 40 and forms the inlet opening of the teat 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.
- the mammal opening 43 or the suction channel 48 has a round cross-section in the upper region, as can be seen in FIG. 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 area can assume an oval shape, for example, as can be seen in Figure 9.
- the mouthpiece 42 may be arbitrarily shaped as long as it remains flexible and pliable. As can be seen in particular in FIGS. 6 and 8, the wall of the mouthpiece 42 can increase in its thickness towards the head part 3. This is done step by step. Typical wall thicknesses are: tl about 0.5 mm, t2 about 1.5 mm, t3 and t4 about 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 mammal 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 opening 43 is connected via this suction channel 48 and subsequently via the passage opening 32 and the flow opening 24 to 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 teat 4 can be with its base 40 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 shown in Figure 5.
- the first connection or Befest Trentsmit- tel 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 after outside projecting inner surface 400 of the base body 40 are taken, and the free end of the suction channel 48, here the skirt 46, can be placed 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 teat 4 is now mounted on the receiving head 3, as shown in Figure 3.
- 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 receiving 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. 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-tight and airtight connection between suction 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 sealingly clamped.
- the teat can thus be mounted in a simple manner despite the relatively complicated internal structure. As can be seen in Figure 5, 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 truncated cone.
- 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 teat can be connected in a simple and hygienic way with the suction bottle and further clean well.
