Benefits of technology

The present invention is a drinking training cup and system for children that helps to educate, facilitate, and reinforce the normal motor skills used for drinking from a typical cup or glass. The cup is designed to prevent spilling and is equipped with dual handles for both hands, encouraging symmetrical cup holding posture and flow control. Additionally, the cup has a removable cap for easy cleaning and a natural drinking lip with a drinking hole for the passage of liquid. The technical effects of the invention are to promote proper dental hygiene, facilitate learning of motor skills, and prevent spilling.

Problems solved by technology

Such a cap inhibits unwanted spillage of the liquid; however it may be unscrewed easily by an adult for cleaning.

Embodiment Construction

[0033]The present invention is a drinking training apparatus designed to educate and train children, including infants and babies, in the proper form and flow control required to drink from a conventional or standard glass or cup. The present invention has a container portion (10) housed within a body (20). The body (20) preferably provides insulation for the container portion (10). A cap (30) is configured to screw onto the body (20), and cover the container portion (10) of the present invention.

[0034]The cap (30) of the preferred embodiment of the present invention is equipped with a lip (50), drinking holes (60), and air holes (80). There is preferably an equal number of drinking holes (60) and air holes (80). In this respect, in some embodiments of the present invention, the air holes (80) or the drinking holes (60) can be used by the child to consume the beverage. Neither the air holes (80) nor the drinking holes (60) are equipped with a silicone stop valve, and instead allow l...

Abstract

A baby and / or child training drinking cup system and apparatus is described. The system is configured to minimally inhibit the flow of liquid from the cup to the mouth of the child via a simulated natural-form cup rim configured to permit passage of liquid from the apparatus freely after the apparatus is tipped to the requisite degree, providing a natural drinking experience. Providing children liquids in this manner prevents incorrect training induced by conventional ‘sippy’ cups, and prevents development of resulting speech disorders, dental issues, impaired tongue movement, and jaw / palate disorders. The complete system is designed to correctly train users in the anatomically appropriate manner to consume liquid from cups, or food from containers with protruding tops to be put in the mouth to consume food contents.

Description

CONTINUITY[0001]This application is a Continuation-in-Part of non-provisional patent application Ser. No. 15 / 218,786, filed on Jul. 25, 2016, and priority is claimed thereto.FIELD OF THE PRESENT INVENTION[0002]The present invention relates generally to the education and training of conventional freeform or ‘natural’ drinking from a cup to individuals, and more specifically relates to a training drink receptacle apparatus and system configured to natively train a child to use the correct oral, head, and neck postures, form, and style of drinking conventionally to develop a normal, healthy drinking pattern using the normal physical sequential oral muscle movements.BACKGROUND OF THE PRESENT INVENTION[0003]Babies and young children learning to drink from containers other than a baby bottle or a mother's nipple are often provided beverages within conventional child ‘sippy’ cups. Often these cups are small and spill-proof, which is initially a benefit to many parents and caregivers, as le...
