Description

Anti-colic feeding bottle

[0001] The present invention relates to a feeding bottle that prevents colic.

[0002] Colic refers to the feeling of bloating or pain in an infant's stomach when there is excessive gas, and is known to be caused by air being inhaled along with breast milk or formula during feeding.

[0003] To prevent the aforementioned colic, conventional baby bottles have been developed and sold with holes formed in the nipple area to allow air to enter. However, the size of the air hole formed in these conventional baby bottles is limited due to the requirement that air must enter through the hole while the formula milk must not leak out, which is a characteristic of infants and toddlers who drink formula milk while lying down. Accordingly, if the suction power differs for each infant or depending on the infant's growth stage, it is difficult to control the pressure inside and outside the bottle, which increases the probability that the infant will swallow air.

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the above-described conventional problems, and to provide a colic-preventing feeding bottle that can effectively prevent colic by smoothly controlling the pressure inside and outside the bottle.

[0005] The above object is achieved by a colic prevention feeding bottle according to the present invention, which includes a permeable portion installed in the receiving portion to allow external air to enter the receiving space by connecting the receiving space with the outside, but prevents the fluid contained in the receiving space from leaking out to the outside.

[0006] Additionally, the penetration portion may be installed on the other side of the receiving portion.

[0007] Additionally, the above-mentioned penetration portion may be made of expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) material.

[0008] Additionally, the above-mentioned penetration portion may be provided with any one of a nanofiber filter, an air filter having nanopores, and a waterproof / moisture-permeable fabric.

[0009] In addition, the above-mentioned penetration portion can be installed detachably from the receiving portion.

[0017] From now on, with reference to the attached drawings, a colic prevention feeding bottle according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail.

[0018] FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating an overall view of an anti-colic feeding bottle according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view of an anti-colic feeding bottle according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 3 is a diagram explaining the function of a penetration portion of an anti-colic feeding bottle according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0019] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a colic prevention feeding bottle (100) according to one embodiment of the present invention includes a nipple portion (110), a receiving portion (120), and a penetration portion (130).

[0020] The nipple part (110) is formed in the shape of a nipple and has a feeding hole formed at the end, and may be made of an elastic material such as silicone. The nipple part (110) is installed on one side of the receiving part (120) described below, so that when feeding an infant, a fluid such as powdered milk contained in the receiving space (s1) of the receiving part (120) is supplied to the infant through the feeding hole.

[0021] The receiving portion (120) forms a receiving space (s1) inside which can receive a fluid such as powdered milk. One side is connected to the nipple portion (110), and the other side is provided with a permeation portion (130) described later.

[0022] In more detail, the receiving portion (120) may include a container portion (121), a coupling module (122), and a coupling ring (123).

[0023] The container (121) forms a receiving space (s1), and may be made of a transparent or translucent plastic material. An identifier that can confirm the capacity of a fluid such as powdered milk may be printed on the outside.

[0024] In addition, a nipple part (110) is coupled to one side of the container part (121), and a permeation part (130) is installed on the other side. A plurality of air holes can be formed on the other side where the permeation part (130) is installed.

[0025] The coupling module (122) is installed on the other side (the part where the air hole is formed) of the container part (121) and forms an internal space to accommodate the permeable part (130). The coupling module (122) is coupled to a coupling ring (123) described later so that one side of the permeable part (130) is in close contact with one surface of the internal space and the other side of the permeable part (130) is in contact with the external space.

[0026] The coupling ring (123) is coupled with the above-described coupling module (122) to accommodate the penetration portion (130) in the internal space, and may be provided in a ring shape so that it can be coupled to and released from the coupling module (122) using a screw coupling method.

[0027] According to the above-described coupling module (122) and coupling ring (123), the permeation part (130) can be easily installed on the other side of the container part (121), and there is an effect of making replacement and maintenance of the permeation part (130) easier.

[0028] The permeation part (130) is installed in the receiving part (120) to connect the receiving space (s1) with the outside, thereby allowing external air to flow into the receiving space (s1), but preventing the fluid contained in the receiving space (s1) from flowing out to the outside, and can be installed in the internal space described above.

[0029] This permeable portion (130) may be provided with one or more of expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE), nanofiber filter, air filter with nanopores, waterproof and breathable fabric (VENT, dry skin material, eco-shell, HILL-TEX, hydroshell, omni-tech, Neoshell, HyVent, etc.), but is not necessarily limited thereto, and may be provided with any material as long as it can prevent the passage of fluid while allowing air to flow.

[0030] These materials can prevent external contaminants, bacteria, viruses, etc. from penetrating into the bottle, so it is expected that cleanliness and safety will be significantly improved.

[0031] According to the above-described permeable portion (130), as illustrated in FIG. 3, air is introduced into the receiving portion (120) from the outside through the permeable portion (130) in an amount equivalent to the volume flowing out through the feeding hole when the infant is fed, so that the pressure between the outside and the inside of the receiving portion (120) is automatically and constantly controlled. Accordingly, by preventing air from being supplied to the infant during feeding, colic can be effectively prevented, and the hassle of having to replace the nipple function portion to adjust the number of air holes according to the infant's growth stage is fundamentally prevented.

[0032] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a colic-preventing feeding bottle (100) including a nipple portion (110), a receiving portion (120), and a penetration portion (130) as described above, colic can be effectively prevented by smoothly controlling the pressure between the outside and the inside of the bottle. Accordingly, the inconvenience of having to replace the nipple function portion to adjust the number of air holes according to the growth stage of the infant is fundamentally prevented. In addition, according to an embodiment of the present invention, a colic-preventing feeding bottle (100) prevents external contaminants, bacteria, viruses, etc. from penetrating into the inside of the bottle, thereby significantly improving cleanliness and safety.
