  • Patent number: 8881920
    Abstract: A nursing bottle for automatically rinsing a baby's teeth by independently dispensing first and second liquids, includes a nursing bottle having a nipple, a rinsing device having a dispensing end and a plurality of dispensing holes adjacent to the dispensing end for retaining the second liquid within the rinsing device while the nursing bottle receives the first liquid, and dispensing the second liquid automatically when the first liquid has been substantially depleted. The second liquid remains retained within the rinsing device when the bottle is at least substantially inverted due to the pressure of the first liquid at the dispensing holes and the vacuum created inside the rinsing device. When the first liquid is depleted sufficiently to expose at least one dispensing hole, the pressure is released, air is introduced into the rinsing device and the second liquid is dispensed through the other dispensing hole.

  • Patent number: 5960971
    Abstract: A nursing bottle for automatically rinsing a baby's teeth by independently dispensing first and second liquids, includes a nursing bottle having a nipple, a rinsing device having a dispensing end and a buoyant valve attached to the dispensing end for retaining the second liquid within the rinsing device while the nursing bottle receives the first liquid. The valve retains the second liquid within the rinsing device when the bottle is at least substantially inverted due to a buoyant force produced by the valve against the dispensing end. The buoyant force of the valve is greater than the force of gravity which acts on the valve until the first liquid is substantially dispensed from the bottle. After which, the force of gravity overcomes the buoyant force of the valve and the valve is pulled towards the nipple by the force of gravity. As a result, the valve automatically releases the second liquid from the rinsing device and into the nipple to rinse the baby's teeth.

  • Patent number: 5617966
    Abstract: A nursing bottle for automatically rinsing a baby's teeth, includes a bottle for storing a first liquid which has an open end for receiving the first liquid. A nipple is releasably mounted on the open end of the bottle for dispensing the first liquid through at least one discharge hole. A storage device for storing a second liquid has a dispensing end adjacent the nipple for dispensing the second liquid. The dispensing end of the storage device has a retainer for retaining the second liquid within the storage means until the first liquid is dispensed from the bottle, afterwhich the retainer automatically releases the second liquid into the nipple, automatically rinsing the baby's teeth by dispensing the second liquid through the at least one discharge hole.
