The feeding bottle cooling container includes eight or more protrusions that hold a feeding bottle at an inside lateral surface and are round to reduce inclination of a feeding bottle.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a container for cooling milk made in a baby bottle.

Background Art

[0002] Powdered milk currently on the market must be made with boiling water of 70°C or higher that has been boiled once in order to sterilize pathogenic bacteria in the powdered milk. Also, the milk made must be used within 2 hours. Generally, since it is made just before feeding, it is necessary to pour water over the baby bottle containing the milk or place it in a container filled with cold water or ice water to cool it quickly.

[0003] Cooling the bottle while turning it under running water takes time and effort when the baby is crying with an empty stomach, and also uses a lot of water. Therefore, many people put water or ice in a mug or a large bowl and place the baby bottle in it to cool it. However, it is difficult to find a large mug that can cool the baby bottle well, and the large bowl has too large an opening, and there is a concern that the baby bottle may tilt or float, and even though it has a lid, water may enter the nipple or other parts. Therefore, a dedicated container for cooling the baby bottle is desired.

[0004] The time required to cool the milk varies depending on the temperature at which the milk is made (for example, freshly boiled water or 75°C water), the material of the baby bottle, the volume of the milk, or the room temperature. The material of the baby bottle is often glass or plastic (polypropylene). TIFF2025109151000002.tif17170 The shape of the baby bottle also varies, such as being close to a rounded square prism or a cylindrical shape, and the nipple gradually becomes thinner towards the tip, and there are also subtle differences in the size and shape of the bottom surface.

Patent Document 1

[0006] For feedings every three hours, whether in the early morning or at night, it is required to spend as little time and effort as possible. Commonly in Documents 1, 2, and 3, it takes time and effort for drainage, and scenes where cleaning and maintenance inside the cooler are required may arise from a hygienic perspective. This is because even if the rubber on the cap side of the nipple is slightly turned up or the cap is not tightly closed, milk may sometimes leak out and stain the outside of the bottle. Also, as it is functionally excellent, the structure becomes complex and the price increases. The period when milk is needed is limited to from 1 year to 1 and a half years when completely transitioning to complementary foods. The present invention is made to cool the prepared milk without spending the above time, effort, and money. [Means for Solving the Problems]

[0007] A cup-shaped container with an upper widened part, made of a material with a heat resistance temperature of 100 °C or higher and poor heat conductivity, having a size capable of containing a baby bottle, water, and ice. On two circumferences parallel to the bottom surface, there are 4 or more evenly arranged on each circumference, a total of 8 or more rounded protrusions from the inner side surface of the container to hold the baby bottle. A baby bottle cooling container is provided, characterized in that it holds the baby bottle in this way.

Effect of the Invention

[0008] Using the present invention, it can be easily used when cooling a hot baby bottle when making milk. It takes less effort to cool the baby bottle and wash the container. Also, the container body is inexpensive and can be used for a long time, the amount of water used is small, and electricity, etc. is not used.

Embodiment for Carrying out the Invention

[0010] Hereinafter, the embodiments for carrying out the present invention will be described.

[0011] The cup-shaped container (1) has a heat resistance temperature of 100 °C or higher and is made of a material with poor heat conductivity. This is because powdered milk may be made with boiling hot water, and if it is a glass baby bottle, it will reach a temperature close to that. Also, since the container is often held by hand, polypropylene, etc. with poor heat conductivity is desirable. It is also often used for baby utensils and can be washed and disinfected with chemicals, a microwave oven, or boiling. The price is not so high, it does not break, and it can be used for a long time.

[0012] It is made into a cup-shaped container with a wide top and large enough to hold a feeding bottle (4), water (5), and ice (6). If the overall container is too large, it is difficult to hold firmly with one hand. If it is too narrow, there is not enough space for water or ice water to cool the feeding bottle, and it will take a long time to cool. With a cup-shaped container with a wide top, even a person with small hands can hold the bottom part with one hand. Ice can be placed at the bottom rather than around the feeding bottle. Also, since it is used several times a day, it is easier to wash if the top is wider.

[0013] They are protrusions (2, 3) extending from the inner side surface of the container. On the circumference about 2.5 cm from the bottom and on the circumference about 7 cm above it, which are parallel to the bottom surface of the container, at least 4 each are evenly arranged, for a total of 8 or more. The 4 protrusions on the lower circumference extending from the side play a role in holding the feeding bottle in the container so that it does not touch the bottom. By putting water or ice below, the milk can be cooled from the bottom as well. With 2.5 cm, 2 or 3 ice cubes can be placed below. For a feeding bottle with a round bottom, 3 protrusions are also okay, but for a feeding bottle with a square bottom, 4 protrusions are more stable. The 4 protrusions on the upper circumference extending from the side serve as a retention to prevent the feeding bottle from tilting too much and to hold it to a certain extent even if it floats. If there are 3 of these protrusions, the space between the protrusions will be nearly 120° apart. Depending on the size of the container, for a feeding bottle with a narrow tip, it will not get caught on the protrusions and will tilt all the way to the edge of the container, so 4 or more are desirable. If the upper protrusions are about 7 cm above the lower protrusions, the capacity is TIFF2025109151000003.tif1093

[0014] Since all the protrusions of the container extend from the side of the cup-shaped container, they do not prevent the circulation of water. Even if the cold water goes to the bottom, if the feeding bottle placed in the container is gently lifted up and down once, the water will mix.

[0015] Eight protrusions on this side enable it to accommodate various baby bottles of different types and manufacturers. There is a play between the size of the protrusions, and even if there is a slight inclination or floating, water will not leak to the interface between the cap and the bottle, and the baby bottle can be cooled. After conducting various experiments, it was found that when using a small baby bottle, floating can be prevented by reducing the amount of water poured around it, and up to above the part containing milk If "TIFF2025109151000004.tif17170" is filled in, it can be used without problems. Although the standard amount of water to be poured outside the baby bottle to prevent the interface between the cap and the bottle from getting wet depends on the size of the cup, it can be presented.

[0016] The rounded protrusions are less likely to get dirty at the corners etc. compared to angular protrusions, and the dirt can be easily removed, making it easy to wash. It is desirable to be integrally molded with the cup.

[0017] The present invention does not have a function of rotating and cooling, nor a function of notifying when it reaches the appropriate temperature. However, just putting it into water or ice water is considered to be what many people do because it is easy. After making milk, it can be used with one hand while holding the baby, and other things can also be done while the baby bottle is immersed. By using the present invention, it is possible to prevent the baby bottle from floating and tilting as in the case of using a donburi, and the time can be shortened compared to the case when the amount of cooling water around is small and the whole does not get immersed as in the case of using a mug. Also, during the cooling process, it is easy to move the baby bottle up and down to circulate the water, and it is also easy to pour out the water around that has become warm once and refill it with new water. Although there is no temperature device, regarding the warmth, since it is for the baby to drink, considering safety, it is desired to hold the bottle one by one and confirm the temperature from experience values. The convenience provided by the eight rounded protrusions on the side is simple yet something that has not existed before, and I think it will be well-received by those raising babies.
