摘要:
Device, for the facilitated oral intake of liquids, comprising: a support body 10, which is provided with fixing means 20; - means 30 for supporting a container of liquids; a cannula 40 for transferring liquid from a container to a user; - an elongated element 50 for supporting and positioning the cannula. The elongated support and positioning element 50 is associated to a first end portion 51 thereof to the support body. The support body 10 is provided with at least one housing seat 13 within which the first end portion 51 of element 50 for supporting and positioning the cannula is inserted.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a system device and method for monitoring infant oral motor kinetics (OMK), which can be used to assess the functional significance of the different sucking components, i.e., the plasticity of infant sucking skills in relation to their oral feeding performance, at a particular time, during the developmental period and/or during preventive or therapeutic intervention programs. It is a unique system and apparatus that provides a means to study the nonnutritive and/or nutritive sucking skills, i.e., the Suction and/or Expression components of sucking, of infants in the natural setting, i.e., during a normal feeding session. OMK sensors, tracked in real-time by the monitoring system, include miniature pressure transducers, or pressure sensitive pads, attached to the nipple for measuring intraoral pressure pulses during Suction, and for measuring compression/stripping pressure pulses during Expression; and a miniature flow sensor for measuring fluid flow rate, which can be integrated over time to determine the volume of milk removed (bolus) per suck. Other signals, such as respiration, swallowing, thermal, optical, and acoustic signals can be recorded and compared along with the instrumented-nipple signals, in an OMK monitoring system.

Trinkbehälter mit einem Trinkgefäß, einem Trinkaufsatz und einem Schraubring, wobei - das Trinkgefäß einen Innenraum, eine kreisrunde Gefäßöffnung, einen die Gefäßöffnung umgebenden Öffnungsrand und ein Außengewinde neben der Gefäßöffnung aufweist, - der Trinkaufsatz eine Bodenwand, einen um die Bodenwand umlaufenden Ringflansch zur Anlage am Öffnungsrand des Trinkgefäßes, ein von der Bodenwand nach außen vorstehendes Trinkelement und ein Absperrmittel zum Absperren und Öffnen eines Durchgangs vom Innenraum zur Außenseite des Mundstückes, das zum Trinken öffenbar und ansonsten schließbar ist, aufweist, - ein Belüftungskanal in der Unterseite des Ringflansches oder in der Oberseite des Öffnungsrandes vorhanden ist, der sich von einer radial weiter innen liegenden und zum Innenraum des Trinkgefäßes hin offenen inneren Kanalöffnung aus bis zu einer radial weiter außenliegenden und zur Umgebung hin offenen äußeren Kanalöffnung erstreckt, zwischen diesen beiden Kanalöffnungen mindestens 0,75-fach um das Zentrum der Gefäßöffnung umläuft, eine Querschnittsfläche im Bereich von 0,02 bis 0,08 mm 2 aufweist und in einem steifen Material mit einem Elastizitätsmodul von mindestens 0,2 kN/mm 2 ausgebildet ist und - der Ringflansch mittels des Schraubringes in flüssigkeitsdichter Anlage am Öffnungsrand fixierbar ist.
摘要:
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.

Closure system for a non-spill feeding bottle for children, with • a lower closure ring, which has a substantially cylindrical lower jacket part with an inner thread that can be screwed onto an outer thread of a bottle, and a lower partition wall which, above the inner thread, is connected at the edge to the lower jacket part, blocks off the cross section of the lower jacket part and has a first top face and a first bottom face with at least one lower through-hole opening out, on the one hand, in the first top face and, on the other hand, in the first bottom face, • an upper closure ring, which has a substantially cylindrical upper jacket part with an outer thread that can be connected to a screw ring in order to secure a teat on the upper edge of the upper jacket part, and an upper partition wall which is connected at the edge to the upper jacket part, blocks off the cross section of the upper jacket part and has a second top face and, sitting sealingly on the first top face, a second bottom face with at least one upper through-hole opening out, on the one hand, in the second bottom face and, on the other hand, in the second top face, • locking elements with which the lower closure ring and the upper closure ring are locked onto each other such that they are rotatable relative to each other and releasable, • wherein a sealing lip, concentric to the lower jacket part and made of a soft elastic material, protrudes upwards from the first top face and, as its distance from the first top face increases, it widens radially outwards and bears with elastic pretensioning on a sealing face on the inside of a wall that protrudes downwards from the second bottom face and is concentric to the upper jacket part, or vice versa, and, by turning the upper closure ring with respect to the lower closure ring, the upper through-hole can alternately be brought into congruent and non-congruent positions with respect to the lower through-hole.
