Republic of France, Manufacturer, for the Invention of "AN IMPROVED
FEEDING BOTTLE."
the 1st September 1876, and dated the 1st March 1876.
PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION left by the said Jules Brière at the Office of
the Commissioners of Patents on the 1st March 1876.
JULES BRIÈRE, of Paris, in the Department of the Seine, and Republic of France,
Manufacturer. "AN IMPROVED FEEDING BOTTLE."
This
This Invention relates to improvements in the teats or nipples of feeding bottles.
My first improvement consists in the adoption of a new sucker or teat.
new teat has two incisions made lengthwise near its end, one being on each side
on the flat part; thus slit this sucker affords the double advantage of constantly
keeping the column of liquid raised, and that closing hermetically it prevents the
introduction of saliva, thereby preserving the milk in the bottle from decomposition,
advantages not possessed by ordinary feeding bottles.
My second improvement consist in adding to the joint a valve similar to the air
valve of my feeding bottle, Patent No. 1004, A.D. 1875, and pierced with about six
holes. The joint which carries this valve will be fitted so as to preserve it from
deterioration, both in fitting the nipple to the joint and removing it therefrom.
The approximate distance from the joint to the said valve should not exceed
0,005 it will generally be only from 0m,001 to 0,002.
This nipple, which will be pierced with a small gaping opening like an ordinary
nipple, will permit the liquid to issue freely by suction, and inay when desired be
used to inject a syrup or potion, in which case the valve must first be removed
from the joint.
In the preceding system, that is to say, in the use of a nipple with two incisions
an ordinary nipple permitting injection, will be provided if desired.
On the accompanying Sheet of Drawing, Figure 1 is a sectional elevation showing
teat or nipple with my first improvement. The line A indicating the place of the
incision on the flat part of the teat, there being a similar incision on the opposite
side.
Figure 2 is an elevation, partly in section, of a teat or nipple embodying my
second improvement. A, B, C, indicate the valve; D, E, the union or joint; F the
nipple. The form of the joint E is only approximately given, and whatever
alteration is made therein will not affect the above-mentioned results.
