The middle section has a non-removable threaded fitting welded onto the pouch enabling the toppro to be attached. The toppro is a bottle cap with screwable threads in the interior. | 10-22-2009 |
20100072161 | Device and Method for Feeding Breast Milk and Similar Nutritionals to Infants - A single-use, disposable device for feeding breast milk and similar nutritionals to infants and babies includes a pre-sterilized, semi rigid, flexible storage bag having a sealable end and a barbed fitment plugged with a removable ring pin that allows a temporary seal until the bag is ready to be used for infant feeding. The ring is pulled to remove the pin from the barbed fitment, allowing a feeding nipple device to be attached so the infant can draw breast milk directly from the feeding nipple device connected to the semi rigid, flexible storage bag containing the breast milk. | 03-25-2010 |
20100133222 | Baby Bottle Preparation - A method of filling a baby bottle is provided which comprises providing a baby bottle containing a hermetically sealed bottle liner, which contains a measured amount of powdered infant formula. The bottle liner comprises a lip retainer for preventing the bottle liner from falling into the bottle. The hermetic seal on the bottle liner may be opened. The method includes disposing filtered, heated water into the liner to mix with the powdered infant formula. A cap and nipple assembly is applied to the bottle. | 06-03-2010 |
20100193460 | NURSING BOTTLE ASSEMBLY AND A REUSABLE LINER THEREFOR - A nursing bottle assembly includes a rigid outer casing, a flexible inner liner and a teat arrangement. The teat arrangement attaches to the outer casing and secures the inner liner in position within the outer casing. The flexible inner liner includes a container in the form of a bellows such that it expands and collapses in a predictable linear manner along its longitudinal axis. Preferably, the inner liner is moulded from a food-grade silicone or thermoplastic elastomer and includes a substantially cylindrical container formed with at least one projecting rib or groove about which the liner folds to enable it to expand and collapse in a predictable linear manner along its longitudinal axis. | 08-05-2010 |

20110240587 | Baby nipple assembly for use with flexible drink pouches - A novel baby nipple assembly for use with a flexible drink pouch, wherein the baby nipple assembly generally comprises a mount subassembly (sometimes hereinafter referred to as simply “the mount” or “the disk”) for attachment to the flexible drink pouch, and a nipple subassembly (sometimes hereinafter referred to as simply “the nipple”) for connection to the mount subassembly, wherein the mount subassembly comprises a relatively large flat element for adhesion to an outside surface of the flexible drink pouch, and the nipple subassembly comprises (i) means for connection to the mount subassembly, (ii) a sharp tube for extending through the mount subassembly and puncturing the side wall of the flexible drink pouch, and (iii) a soft nipple in fluid communication with the sharp tube, whereby a baby or young child can suckle on the nipple and receive the beverage from the flexible drink pouch. | 10-06-2011 |
20140263148 | Lubricious, sealed, airless baby bottle - An airless baby bottle includes: a) an elongated shaft having an open top and an open bottom and having a constant internal cross-section, and having attachment means for securing a nipple piece fastening collar thereto; b) a nipple piece fastening collar; c) a nipple piece having a main body with an outer rim and having a nipple with at least one liquid-release orifice and nipple having a plurality of accordion segments so as to create a rest short nipple position and so as to permit a stressed elongated nipple position when a baby sucks on it; d) a piston to sealably and moveably fit within the elongated shaft, the piston having external sides with a peripheral upper blade and a peripheral lower blade, each of said peripheral upper blade peripheral lower blade having a plurality of peripheral ridges running perpendicular to the elongated shaft elongation direction. | 09-18-2014 |
20140374371 | Breastmilk Handling Apparatus Particularly Useful for Warming of Breastmilk Containers Such as Bottles and Syringes - The present invention relates to an infant feeding warming system useful to repeatedly and precisely warm breastmilk or formula for use in the NICU. The system in one form comprises a bedside unit that is attachable to an IV pole. The system may also comprise a centralized warming station with multiple chambers, wherein one chamber heats a bottle or syringe, and the remaining chambers are used for storage and/or refrigeration. The system will use a non-liquid heating system to heat feedings. A disposable liner may be used inside the chamber. The system may also contain heating algorithms that are based on a user inputting milk parameters such as volume and initial temperature. | 12-25-2014 |
