Abstract

Conventional baby bottle holders require parents or caregivers to support the bottle with their hands when feeding an infant. However, this method places a significant burden on parents, preventing them from doing other tasks while breastfeeding. While there are assistive devices available to help infants hold bottles, they often lack sufficient stability, resulting in the infant spilling milk. The present invention aims to provide a baby bottle holder that solves these problems and reduces the burden on parents. [Solution] The baby bottle holder of the present invention solves the above problem by comprising a ring-shaped attachment part that is attached to the baby's neck, a raised part provided at the tip position on the top surface of the attachment part, and a baby bottle holding means provided in front of the raised part.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0008] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to FIGS.

[0009] The baby bottle holder 1 comprises a ring-shaped attachment part 2 to be attached around the baby's neck, a raised part 3 provided at the tip of the upper surface of the attachment part 2, and a baby bottle holding means 4 provided in front of the raised part 3. The baby bottle holder 1 uses polyester velvet as its surface material, providing a comfortable fit that is gentle on the baby's skin, and is filled with padding N to give it plasticity, allowing it to plastically deform to fit the shape of the baby bottle H, thereby holding the baby bottle H securely. The padding N was selected as a material that also has elastic properties and is gentle on the baby, but it can also be replaced with a material that has both elasticity and plasticity, such as sponge-like pulp, the material used in disposable diapers and pillows, or plastic materials such as finely granulated synthetic resin. The overall dimensions are 22 cm wide, 21.5 cm deep, and 11 cm high, allowing it to be worn comfortably around the baby's neck.

[0010] The attachment portion 2 is provided with a detachable portion 8 at the rear end position of the attachment portion 2, which connects and separates the ends 6, 7 of the attachment portion. In the embodiment, the detachable portion 8 is provided to connect and separate the ends 6, 7 of the attachment portion, but it is also possible to have no detachable portion by connecting the ends 6, 7 of the attachment portion with stretchable rubber, and it is also possible to select and use a hook or a surface fastener as the detachable portion 8, and it is also possible to make the length of the attachment portion 2 variable.

[0011] The raised portion 3 is located at the tip of the upper surface of the attachment portion 2, on the opposite side of the attachment portion 2, and is designed to be at the position of the baby's chest. The inside of the raised portion 3 is made up of padding N, and by utilizing the elastic and plastic properties of the padding N, it forms an optimal baby bottle holder 1. The cross section of the raised portion 3 is circular and the vertical section is arc-shaped, allowing it to gently contact the baby like a stuffed toy.

[0012] The baby bottle holding means 4 is formed in a trapezoidal shape, with its vertical and horizontal lines made of elastic rubber thread. The upper edge 9 of the baby bottle holding means 4 is bent into an arc, and the lower edge 10 of the baby bottle holding part means 4 is also bent into an arc, with both straight ends of the baby bottle holding means 4 fixed to the raised part 3 at an angle of 30 degrees. The upper edge 9 of the baby bottle holding means 4 is designed to be short at 11 cm, and the lower edge 10 is designed to be long at 14 cm, with the baby bottle holding means 4 fixed to the raised part 3 so that it flares out at the bottom. When a baby bottle H is attached to the baby bottle holding means 4, the upper edge 9 of the baby bottle H is held in close contact with the baby bottle holding part 4.

[0013] The bottle holder 11, which is made up of an elastic bottle holder 4 and a raised portion 3 that has elasticity and plasticity due to the filling, is formed to support the bottle H, and when a baby drinks milk, the raised portion 3 is lifted or pushed down so that the nipple portion T of the bottle H is positioned near the baby's mouth, and the trapezoidal shape of the bottle holder 4 can be used to adjust the angle and height of the bottle H, thereby changing the height of the nipple portion T of the bottle H. By inserting filling N, the raised portion 3, which has elasticity and plasticity, and the bottle holder 4 support the bottle H, preventing the bottle H from tipping forward and ensuring that the nipple portion T of the bottle H is positioned near the baby's mouth. Even if the raised part 3 is formed by putting a plastic material inside, the raised part 3 and the bottle holding part 4 support the baby bottle H, preventing the baby bottle H from tipping forward and allowing the nipple part T of the baby bottle H to be placed at a position near the baby's mouth.

[0014] The baby bottle holding part 11 is designed to stably hold the baby bottle H. The upper edge 9 of the baby bottle holding means 4 is designed to be short at 11 cm, while the lower edge 10 is designed to be long at 14 cm. In addition, the raised part 3 is filled with padding to give it elasticity and plasticity, and the elasticity of the rubber allows the nipple part T of the baby bottle H to move up and down approximately 30 degrees (YX), so the design allows the baby to hold the nipple T of the baby bottle H in its mouth without any strain. This design makes it easy for the baby to adjust the angle and position of the nipple when drinking milk. Furthermore, by utilizing the elasticity of the rubber itself, it is possible to accommodate baby bottles of different diameters (thin and thick). When attaching a baby bottle, the rubber stretches just enough to hold the bottle securely, while the bottom edge (10) is designed to be 14cm long, ensuring adequate flexibility. This allows for stable attachment of baby bottles of different sizes and shapes.

[0015] Holding parts 5 are provided on both outside of attachment part 2 so that the baby can hold them in their hands, and are 7cm wide and 3cm long, and are installed so that the baby can hold the baby bottle H by itself. When the baby holds holding parts 5, the baby bottle holder 1 and baby bottle H are held in a position that passes through the center line of the baby's body, allowing the baby bottle holder 1 to be used stably.

[0016] After attaching and fixing the attachment part 2 of the baby bottle holder 1 around the baby's neck, the baby bottle H is inserted into the baby bottle holding part 4 and adjusted so that the nipple part T of the baby bottle H is positioned near the baby's mouth, and the baby can hold the baby bottle H by itself using the holding part 5 and breastfeed. After use, the attachment part 2 is removed and the baby bottle holder 1 is removed.

[0017] The baby bottle holder 1 of the present invention has a ring-shaped attachment part 2, and in addition to being used to attach it to the neck K of the infant Y, it is also designed to be easily carried by hooking it onto the frame of a stroller or the handle of a bag. Furthermore, by attaching the storage mounting portion 13A and the storage mounting portion 13B to the mounting portion 8A and the mounting portion 8B, respectively, the device becomes compact, and is designed with consideration given to the convenience of carrying and storing.

[0018] In the embodiment, the baby bottle holder 4 is made of a stretchable material and is formed in a ring shape, but it may also be made of synthetic resin and formed in a C-shaped cross section. [Explanation of symbols]
