Abstract
A baby-bottle apparatus for holding dry feeding formula separate from water in the bottle prior to in-situ mixing at feeding time combines a bottle, open and threaded at both ends, a powder chamber with a sealable, removable lid, and a piston-like pusher for releasing the lid and mixing the powder and water.
Claims13
A baby bottle storage and mixing apparatus for baby formula powder comprising:
- a) a cylindrical chamber open at both ends, said cylindrical chamber including external bottle-mating threads proximal upper open end and external sealing means adjacent said external bottle-mating threads;
- b) a removable top-side lid with at least one external sealing means fitting snugly to inside circumference of said upper open end;
- c) an inverted piston having a central axial pushrod and at least one external sealing means;
- and
- d) a cylindrical bottle open at both ends with standard nipple ring threads at top end and on bottom end internal threads mating to said external bottle mating threads on said cylindrical chamber.
2 more elements
A baby-bottle attachment comprising:
- a) a cup-like chamber defining a first open end and a second closed end, said first open end having internal threads sized to mate to a threaded top on most common baby bottles, wherein said first open end has a rubber-like gasket fixedly engaged into inside circumference of said first open end;
- b) a movable lid fixedly attached to an axial rod, said lid typically covering first open end;
- and
- c) a central cylindrical cavity integral with top surface of said second closed end,
- wherein an aperture is centrally located at bottom of said central cylindrical cavity,
- wherein at least one groove extends axially along a portion of wall of said central cavity,
- wherein said at least one groove extending axially ends at a slot perpendicular to said groove;
- d) a spring-loaded depressible button assembly positioned in said central cylindrical cavity and secured to end of said axial rod opposite said movable lid,
- wherein movable portion of said button assembly has at least one tab extending radially at distal end and engageable with said at least one groove and slot;
- and
- e) a rubber-like bushing seal secured to interior of said inverted cup-like chamber and surrounding said axial rod.
8 more elements
A baby bottle storage and mixing apparatus for baby formula powder comprising:
- a) a cylindrical chamber open at upper end-and closed at bottom end, said cylindrical chamber including external bottle-mating threads proximal upper open end and an external sealing means adjacent said external bottle-mating threads;
- b) a removable lid with at least one external sealing means fitting snugly to inside circumference of said upper open end;
- c) a cavity integral with said closed bottom end, wherein an aperture is centrally located through closed end of said integral cavity,
- d) an axial pushrod extending through said aperture and affixed to a disk at proximal end, said disk slidingly engaged inside said cavity;
- e) a rubber-like bushing seal secured to interior of said closed end of said cylindrical chamber at said aperture and surrounding said axial push rod;
- and
- f) a cylindrical bottle open at both ends with standard nipple ring threads at top end and on bottom end internal threads mating to said external bottle mating threads on said cylindrical chamber.
