Abstract:
1. A drinking mouthpiece comprising a resilient body through which fluid flows from a rear opening through to a front opening, the body having a longitudinal upper profile contoured to substantially correspond with a portion of the palate of a mouth and a contoured longitudinal lower profile for lying against a tongue; wherein a forward end of the body near the front opening has a profile when viewed in cross-section to a longitudinal direction of the body that narrows laterally of the body to two opposing sides of the mouthpiece, and also has a bulging area on the lower profile that provides a reference point against which the tongue can lie; and wherein the bulging area is a raised protuberance molded into the lower profile to provide a continuous surface of the lower profile that transitions to reduce in width and height toward the front opening in a partial tear-drop configuration when viewed in cross-section to the longitudinal direction of the body.
