Abstract: A bottle teat made of a soft elastic material, comprising: a hollow suction nipple, a circumferential mounting edge for fixation to the bottle opening of a drinking bottle, a hollow transition zone between the mounting edge and the suction nipple, and two drinking slots extending from the outer side to the inner side of the suction nipple in an end region of the suction nipple, which are aligned in parallel to each other and whose distance from each other decreases from the outer side towards the inner side of the suction nipple.

Abstract: A dummy teat including a nipple carrier and a hollow dummy nipple projecting from the nipple carrier, which has areas of a smaller wall thickness at least on two opposed longitudinal sides.

Abstract: A breast pump for pumping down breast milk, with a cylindrical hollow piston with at least one deepening circulating on the outside on the lower end with respect to the cylindrical superficies surface of the hollow piston, a suction cup, which is connected to the tipper end of the hollow piston via a passage for fluid, a soft elastic compensation element (8) between the hollow piston and the bearing surface of the suction cup, at least one circulating sealing element made of a soft elastic material, inserted into the deepening, and a cylinder with a closed lower end, in which the hollow piston is axially movable, wherein the superficies surface of the hollow piston is guided on an inner wall of the cylinder, the sealing element is sealingly arranged between the inner wall of the cylinder and the hollow piston, and at least the suction cup is arranged outside of the cylinder.

Abstract: A pacifier with a mouth shield made of relatively firm material, a nipple protruding from the inside of the mouth shield and made of relatively soft material, and a security thread connected to the mouth shield, which consists of the relatively firm material, is connected to the nipple and extends in the longitudinal direction thereof, characterized in that a first section of the security thread runs at a distance from those areas of the nipple which are intersected by the imaginary sagittal midplane of the nipple.

Abstract: A bottle teat of an elastic material includes a hollow suction nipple and a circumferential mounting edge for fixation to the bottle opening of a drinking bottle. A hollow transition zone is disposed between the mounting edge and suction nipple as well as at least one drinking slot oriented in the longitudinal direction of the suction nipple and extending from the outside up to the inside of the suction nipple in an outwardly bulged external end region of the suction nipple. The bottle teat further includes at least one ventilation valve with a valve slot which is extended from the outer wall of the transition zone up to the inner wall of the transition zone.

Abstract: Teat, pacifier, drinking spout or teething ring, comprising a base body which is made from at least one polymer material, and a transparent, unlcoloured layer, applied to the base body on the outside thereof from a latex and/or a polymer solution by dipping.

Abstract: Drip catching device for bottles with contents of all types comprising an annular body made of sponge which may be attached to the neck of a bottle.

Abstract: A feeding teat comprises a tip portion and a lower opening for connection to a container and is formed with an external recess, which is substantially wedge-shaped in cross-section and closed from the interior of the teat and constitutes a guide for an opening instrument. Such feeding teat and an opening instrument are held in a common holder. The common holder may consist of a cover and may be provided near one open end of the cover with clipping means for retaining the opening instrument.

Abstract: A feeding or pacifying teat is provided on its surface with profiled portions consisting of elevations or recesses with respect to adjacent wall portions. At least the body of the teat has an accordion-like wall portion, which is zigzag-shaped in longitudinal section. The tapered portion connecting the body and nipple of the teat has a rough and particularly waffle-like outside surface or is provided on its outside surface with bosses. Additional profiled portions may be provided in the form of the peripherally extending, annular beads and a venting valve.

Abstract: A pacifier or dummy includes a resilient nipple, a guard, and a plug body inserted into the end of the tubular portion of the nipple that is opposite to the mouthpiece. The plug body is carried by a base, which is supported by the guard and is resilient in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the nipple. The plug has projections, which are particularly formed with beveled surfaces and movable along the axis of the nipple. The guard is provided with beveled surfaces adjacent to an opening in the guard. In response to a pull on the nipple, the base is resiliently deformed and the projections of the plug move toward the beveled surfaces of the guard. The plug body has outwardly protruding projections, which are oversize with respect to the clearance between lugs formed on the guard in the opening.

Abstract: A mounting assembly for infants' soothing teats comprising a teat nipple with an integral shaft portion made of an elastic material, a clamp member inserted into the shaft portion of the teat nipple, and a shield type mouth plate mounted on the shaft portion of the teat nipple wherein the clamp member includes an abutment surface and one or a plurality of integral yieldably movable locking elements adapted to cooperate with the abutment surface to safely retain the soothing teat assembly in its assembled relationship. The locking elements may consist either of articulated lugs being biased into a predetermined locking position by their inherent resiliency, or of slidably movable wedge members adapted to be selectively adjusted into a retaining position.

Abstract: A soothing teat consisting of a resilient teat nipple, a relatively rigid clamp member, a mouth-plate and an optional holding element wherein the clamp member is of an unique configuration with a plurality of positioning protrusions, and a neck portion of the teat nipple includes a correspondingly arranged and matingly shaped plurality of positioning ridges, the positioning protrusions and ridges adapted to interconnect the teat nipple, the clamp member and the mouth-plate.
