In an embodiment, the device comprises a stainless steel container portion, a stainless steel annular portion, and a silicone mouthpiece portion. Fluid or other contents stored in the device only come in contact with the stainless container portion, the stainless steel annular portion, and the silicone mouthpiece portion. The stainless steel container portion, the stainless steel annular portion, and the silicone mouthpiece portion all do not contain plastic, therefore the fluid in contact with these surfaces is not exposed to any toxins or other compounds found in plastic and therefore the leaching of plastic toxins and compounds cannot occur while the fluid is stored in the device. The mouthpiece portion can be any of a number of different varieties, sizes and shapes.

The present invention relates to a silicone baby bottle in which only a main body and a nipple, which are made of a silicone material, may contact baby formula or the mouth of a baby so as to prevent definite or possible harm such as the exposure to environmental hormones caused by a synthetic resin material. Further, the silicone baby bottle of the present invention may provide the baby with a feel similar to that of the body of the mother due to the flexibility intrinsic to the silicone material of the baby bottle, and thus may contribute to the development of the sensitivity of infants. The silicone baby bottle according to the present invention comprises: a main body having a bottle neck portion comprising an upper stopper and a shoulder portion formed beneath the bottle neck portion, wherein the main body is made of an elastomer material; a nipple having a flange which contacts the upper surface of the main body, a waist portion extending from the upper portion of the flange, and a tap extending from the upper portion of the waist portion, wherein the nipple is made of an elastomer material; and coupling means including a first coupling ring coupled to the bottle neck portion of the main body and a second coupling ring screwed onto the first coupling ring so as to cover the upper surface of the flange of the nipple. The first coupling is coupled between the shoulder portion of the main body and the upper stopper of the bottle neck portion of the main body.

An expandable container system including a container, an expandable nipple and a one-way valve. The expandable nipple is attached to the first end of the container and the valve is attached to a second end of the container. A counteracting bias force is generated within the container and a first fluid is drawn in through the valve by extending the expandable nipple. When the expandable nipple is released, the expandable nipple is biased back to an unextended state, and an increase in pressure created by the counteracting bias force induces a second fluid to flow out of an outlet in the expandable nipple.

System and method for venting, priming and modifying a flow rate of fluid from a container

A leakproof bottle for feeding a child includes a first external thread around a bottle opening, and a lower closure ring having a first internal thread, which is screwed onto the first external thread and has at least one first throughflow hole. An upper closure ring has a second external thread on which the lower closure ring sits in a sealing manner and which has at least one second throughflow hole which, by rotation of the upper closure ring relative to the lower closure ring, can be brought into coinciding and non-coinciding positions relative to the first throughflow hole. Locking elements can rotate the lower closure ring and upper closure ring relative to each other and releasable lock them, with a drinking teat and a screw ring having a second internal thread, which is screwed onto the second external thread of the upper closure ring, releasably securing a lower edge region of the drinking teat to upper closure ring.
