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...
