Abstract
A baby feeding pack comprises a pouch-like bag for containing a liquid infant food or drink having walls of flexible sheet plastics material and a gusset, also of a flexible plastics sheet material, sealed to the walls and carrying a teat with a removable closure. The gusset defines part of a sealed auxiliary compartment in which the teat is disposed and protected from contamination and which is closed by a top seal between the walls or between the upper margins of a sheet which also forms the gusset. On opening the auxiliary compartment along a severance line, the gusset can be inverted to form a frustoconical projection by which the teat is presented for access for feeding.
Claims5
A baby feeding pack comprising a pouch-like bag of a flexible plastics sheet material for containing a liquid food or drink, the bag including opposed walls with means for sealing said walls around the periphery to thereby form a peripheral seal, a folded gusset disposed between the walls and connected thereto along its peripheral margins remote from its fold so as to subdivide the container into a primary compartment for the food or drink and an openable sealed auxiliary generally frustoconical compartment isolated from the contents of the primary compartment, the gusset carries within the auxiliary compartment a teat whose interior communicates with the primary compartment and which has a removable closure preventing passage of the food or drink through the teat into the auxiliary compartment, the gusset has closed ends which extend from the fold to its peripheral margins, said gusset closed ends being free of the peripheral seal between the walls of the bag whereby pressure exerted on the contents of the bag via the walls following opening of the auxiliary compartment causes inversion of the gusset and forms a generally frustoconical projection from the generally frustoconical compartment by which the teat is presented for access for feeding.
