Patent ID: 11147744

Abstract:
The present invention relates to baby bottles, in particular, to removable attachment handles and toys for baby bottles with an emphasis in the development of finger strength and dexterity though haptic exploration. The backbone of the present invention is a circumferential band made with bonded elastic and rigid plastic material with two equidistant ball joints designed to flexibly sleeve over a baby bottle. Multiple attachment handles and toys have socket joints that can mate to the circumferential band's ball joints, each with a unique focus on developing manual exploration to accelerate the emergence of higher haptic senses (texture, weight, volume, hardness, etc.). The ball and socket joint allows effortless interchangeability to suit a baby's developmental age and also allows customization. Haptic procedures can be habituated as early as newborns and as often as every feeding time, all the while teaching babies how to hold a handle and baby bottle.
