Abstract:
1. A teat for milk bottles, wherein the teat has a receiving head made of a dimensionally stable material, and a suction body made of a rubber-elastic material, wherein the receiving head is designed as a core of the teat, and the suction body can be pushed on over the receiving head, wherein the suction body has main body with a recess and the suction body has a mouthpiece with a milk outlet, and wherein the suction body further includes an outlet channel for milk extending within the mouthpiece from the recess to the milk outlet, wherein the recess has an inner surface, wherein the recess is pushed on over the receiving head, wherein the recess is dimensioned such that the inner surface bears in an initial position, which is a rest position without external pressure applied elastically and sealingly on at least one portion of an outer surface of the receiving head, defining a contact area, and wherein an admission channel leading to the interior of the bottle is provided in the receiving head, and wherein the receiving head is provided with at least one channel that leads from the admission channel to the outer surface of the receiving head, and wherein, in the contact area between the recess and the receiving head, capillary milk channels are present which communicate with the at least one channel of the receiving head and lead toward the outlet channel in the mouthpiece, wherein the outlet channel extends within the mouthpiece, and wherein the capillary milk channels are arranged such that, when an underpressure is generated in the mouthpiece, milk can flow from the milk bottle through the milk channels into the outlet channel and through the milk outlet out of the suction body, the suction body being able to return to the initial position thereby interrupting the flow of milk when there is no underpressure.
