Abstract
A bottle with male threads on the outer bottom surface and a protruding surface on the base thereof; a silicon rubber layer provided with an elastic protrusion which has a slit on the top; a base casing with female threads on its inner surface and a minute vent centered thereon. The slit on the elastic protrusion remains closed in normal (non-suction) condition thereby, preventing the milk or liquid inside the bottle from dripping out. Once the bottle is inverted and the nipple is sucked, the slit opens a certain amount to let the air flow into the bottle. Thus, milk flows out of the nipple continuously during suction.
Claims1
An improved feeding bottle structure comprising:
- (a) a bottle having a cylindrical outer surface and a base, male threads provided on the outer surface around the base, and a protruding surface on the base within the interior of the bottle, the protruding surface including an opening on the top thereof and defining a cavity open to the exterior of the bottle;
- (b) a silicon rubber layer for engagement against the base, the layer including an elastic protrusion disposed on an upper portion thereof and configured for disposition within the cavity of the protruding surface when the layer is disposed in engagement against the base, the elastic protrusion including a vertical slit on the top and two fixing slots disposed on opposite sides thereof;
- and
- (c) a cylindrical casing provided with female threads for threaded engagement with the male threads of the base, the casing including a pair of fixing rods disposed on an upper portion thereof for insertion through the fixing slots of the rubber layer, a minute vent in the casing, the vent being disposed in alignment with the elastic protrusion and the elastic protrusion being disposed within the cavity of the protruding surface when the casing is threadedly engaged with the base.
