Abstract
A rim to be placed upon a baby bottle to permit positioning and manipulation of the bottle by the baby feeding from such bottle. The outer surface of the rim has a number of flats to prevent the rim rolling along a surface. A number of flexible fingers project towards the center to receive and hold a baby bottle inserted therein.
Claims4
A bottle grip which can be selectively installed about a portion of the outer periphery of a bottle to permit said bottle to be gripped and manipulated comprising:
- a) an outer rim forming a closed loop about the periphery of said bottle and extending in a plane transverse to the longitudinal axis of said bottle, said outer rim having an outer surface and an inner surface spaced from one another along said plane;
- b) a plurality of deflectable fingers extending inwardly from said inner surface of said rim towards the center of said grip:
- c) said outer surface of said outer rim having a configuration to prevent said bottle grip from rolling along a surface upon which said bottle grip installed upon a bottle is placed;
- d) each of said fingers has a body portion having a first end which is integral with said inner surface of said outer rim and a second end, and an arm portion having a first end integral with said second end of said body portion and a second free end describing a portion of a bottle receiving passageway;
- and
- said arm portions of each of said fingers extend at an angle to its corresponding body portion.
