Musical adapter for baby bottles

Abstract

The present invention 10 discloses a musical adapter for baby bottles 12. The musical adapter 10 is comprised of a housing 20 having a cavity for placing the base of a baby bottle 12 therein. The housing 20 has a rotatable lock ring 22 disposed within a threaded cap 24 for fixedly positioning the musical adapter to the baby bottle 12. The cavity within the musical adapter housing has an insert plate 36 for sealing the housing cavity. The lock ring 22 has a plurality of leaf-like springs 28 thereon. As the lock ring 22 is rotated the leaf-like springs 28 engage the multiple tangs 40 of the threaded cap 24 thereby forcing the leaf-like springs 28 inwardly so as to engage the bottle 12 therein, thereby decreasing the available diameter for the baby bottle 12 therein and crimping the bottle 12 between a plurality of leaf-like spring elements 28. Within the base of the housing 20 is a compartment 30 having a removable insert plate 36. The compartment 30 has frictional foam retaining members 34 for fixedly holding an electronic musical module 32 that generates a musical sequence. The playing of the tune is accomplished by pressing on the base 18 of the musical adapter 10.
