Benefits of technology

[0004] In accordance with more specific aspects of the invention, a transportable feeding system for infants and the like comprises a hollow upper chamber having an open upper end and an open lower end. A conventional feeding nipple is secured to the open upper end of the upper chamber and a valve section is secured to the open lower end of the upper chamber. A hollow lower chamber comprises an open upper end and a closed lower end. The open upper end of the lower chamber is secured to the valve section.

Problems solved by technology

At the present time there exists no convenient system for feeding infants during travel, family outings, and other instances when the family is away from home.
Prior to feeding, the powdered formula and the water must be discharged into the baby bottle and mixed, a procedure which can be quite inconvenient.

Embodiment Construction

[0015] As used herein the term “infant” is broadly defined to include not only young children but also any person or animal requiring or needing bottle feeding.

[0016] Referring to the Drawings, and particularly to FIG. 1 thereof, there is shown a transportable feeding system for infants and the like 10 comprising the present invention. The transportable feeding system 10 includes a hollow upper chamber 12 having an open upper end and an open lower end. A conventional nipple 14 of the type utilized in the feeding of infants, etc. is releaseably secured to the open upper end of the hollow upper chamber 12 by a conventional nipple retainer 15. The nipple 14 may be protected during non-use by a removable cap 16.

[0017] The open lower end of the hollow upper chamber 12 of the transportable feeding system 10 is releaseably secured to a valve section 18. The hollow upper chamber 12 is preferably threadedly secured to the valve section 18. Other conventional devices for securing the hollow...

Abstract

A transportable feeding system for infants and the like comprises an hollow upper chamber for receiving a quantity of powdered food material and a hollow lower chamber for receiving a quantity of water. A normally closed valve member is selectively openable to permit water to flow from the hollow lower chamber into the hollow upper chamber for mixing and feeding.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD [0001] This invention relates generally to the feeding of powdered food materials, and more particularly to a unitary system for transporting and feeding powdered food materials. BACKGROUND AND SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0002] At the present time there exists no convenient system for feeding infants during travel, family outings, and other instances when the family is away from home. Premixed formula must be kept cold after opening and then must be warmed prior to use. Powdered formula can be safely used for up to thirty days after opening but must be used shortly after mixing with water. Thus, the feeding of powdered formula at a remote location involves separately transporting (a) powdered formula, (b) distilled or purified water, and (c) a baby bottle. Prior to feeding, the powdered formula and the water must be discharged into the baby bottle and mixed, a procedure which can be quite inconvenient. [0003] The present invention comprises a system for transporting an...
