Abstract

A hygienic device for use with a container opening is provided. The hygienic device includes a base and at least two guard elements which are integrally formed as a unitary structure. The guard elements, which are made of a soft resilient material and positioned on the base, are readily bendable downward to change shape and thus facilitate the opening/closing thereof, and can get closer together to form a protective layer for enclosing the container opening. The hygienic device requires lesser constituent elements and dispenses with the need to remove a hygienic lid from the container before using the container. The guard elements are capable of rebounding and adjusting shape and thickness, effective in balancing a resilient force and a binding force generated as a result of the bending and opening of the guard elements, and effective in attaching to the container; hence, the guard elements open without increasing occupied space.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates to hygienic devices, and more particularly, to a hygienic device installed at a container opening.[0003]2. Description of the Related Art[0004]At present, hygienic devices of commercially-available feeding bottles, water bottles, or other containers fall within the following categories:[0005]1. Separation-type hygienic lids: as shown in FIG. 1, a hygienic lid 01 and a container 10 are independent of each other. Before starting to use the container 10, a user has to remove the hygienic lid 01 from the container 10. However, it is not uncommon to find the hygienic lid 01 missing after its removal from the container 10. Alternatively, it is feasible to provide a simple connection (such as a chain, a cord, or a plastic strip) between the hygienic lid 01 and the container 10 as shown in FIG. 2; however, in doing so, use of the container 10 is inevitably hindered by the hygienic lid 01 to the de...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0012]The present invention has the following advantages: the soft resilient material is readily bendable to cause a change in the shape of the guard elements and thus effectuate the opening/closing function; the present invention reduces the required constituent elements, cuts costs, and dispenses with the need to remove a hygienic lid from a container before using the container and thus prevents the hygienic lid from getting lost; due to its resilience, the soft resilient material is capable of rebounding and thus easy to operate; adjustment of s

Problems solved by technology

However, it is not uncommon to find the hygienic lid 01 missing after its removal from the container 10.

As a result, it is impossible for a device, such as a teat, to be centrally positioned in the container opening.

Furthermore, the pivotal axle of the hygienic element 02 is structurally complicated and thus difficult to clean; as a result, the ease of use of the hygienic element 02 is compromised.

Referring to FIG. 5, another twin hygienic element (disclosed in WO 2006/010935 A1) comprises a soft elastomer instead of a pivotal axle st
