Abstract: A non-spill valve for the neck of a liquid container. The invention also relates to a non-spill valve for the nipple of a feeding bottle, to a teat which is provided with such a nipple and to a feeding bottle which has such a teat. The valve has a tube which is open at one end and upstands from a support, which is complementary with interior element so that it forms a partition and permits the passage of liquid from an aperture in the support only into the tube interior, wherein the other end of the tube is closed except for an incision which separates the closed end from an adjoining side wall portion. The incision defines a flap that can permit liquid to reach from the tube interior to the mouth of the neck or spout or nipple.

Abstract: The removable cap for a feeding bottle is made from flexible plastics material with a smooth exterior surface which is soft to a baby's lips and chin and has an upstanding nipple open at the bottom and with an aperture at the top. The underside of the cap is provided with a plurality of spaced shallow indentations elliptical in shape and moulded into the plastics material. The indentations are arranged in concentric circles around the open end of the nipple and increase in length and width progressively from the innermost circle to the outermost circle.
