  • Patent number: 11857046
    Abstract: A container includes a base and a shell rotatably coupled. The shell defines an aperture and a cradle is rotatably mounted therein. The top of the cradle holds an object and the cradle is pivotable between presentation and storage positions. An actuatable member is movable to open or occlude the aperture. Rotation of the base relative to the shell, in a first direction, drives the actuatable member towards an open position and pivots the cradle towards the presentation position, and rotation in a second direction drives the actuatable member towards a closed position and pivots the cradle towards the storage position. A lever pin on the cradle extends through a C-slot of an inner mechanism rotating with the base to a channel on the shell. Rotation between the base and shell causes the channel to drive the lever pin to different ends of the C-slot to thereby pivot the cradle.

  • Patent number: 11801203
    Abstract: A baby bottle, an insert for a baby bottle, a baby bottle including an insert, and a method of feeding an infant that serves to pace the infant's feeding rhythm. Generally, these devices and methods will be of use for a preterm infant who lacks coordination of the suck-swallow-breathe synchrony, but can also be used with full term infants who can benefit from rigid control of the flow of milk from a bottle, this includes, but is not limited to, infants with gastroesophageal reflux who can require pacing of feeds to allow for gastric emptying. The device generally cues the infant to swallow and breathe after each 1-4 sucks by stopping the flow of the fluid from the bottle after the infant has sucked sufficiently or a predetermined period of time has passed. Once the baby breathes or a period of time passes, the bottle resets for the next repetition. The device also serves to consistently slow the flow of milk during oral feeding.
