Abstract: An anti-colic baby feeding bottle (10) includes a bottle body (16) having a bottle neck (18), a cap (14) removably fastened to the bottle neck (18), and an elastic teat (12). The teat (12) includes a nipple portion (24) having a fluid-dispensing through-hole (26) and an annular base (28), an annular flange (30) extending radially outward from the annular base (28), a plurality of apertures (32) formed 360° around the annular flange (30), and an annular skirt (40) depending from the annular base (28). The annular skirt (40) is spaced radially inward apart from an inner surface (42) of the bottle neck (18) to define an annular passage (44) having an outer end (46) in air communication with the apertures (32) and an inner end (48) which is normally closed by biasing force of a free end (50) of the annular skirt (40) that presses against the inner surface (42) of the bottle neck (18).

Abstract: A lid of a beverage container includes a lid body and a cover. The lid body includes a first engaging portion and an opening shaped and sized to receive a straw. The cover includes a second engaging portion adapted to be slidably engaged with the first engaging portion of the lid body. The cover is adapted to flip between an open position and a closed position while the second engaging portion is slidably moved along the first engaging portion.

Abstract: A closure assembly for a water bottle, having a cap including a mouthpiece that has a first aperture through which water in the bottle can flow out upon the application of suction at the mouthpiece. A support inside the mouthpiece has at least one second aperture that, together with the first aperture, defines a path for water. Also included is a valve member that has a diaphragm located between the mouthpiece and the support. The diaphragm has an aperture in the path and bears resiliently against the support when no suction is applied to the mouthpiece, so its aperture is closed, blocking the path. Upon the application of suction at the mouthpiece, the diaphragm is deformed and moves away from the support so the aperture in the diaphragm is opened to permit the flow of water.

Abstract: A cork extractor includes a body having a pair of opposed side walls defining a gap therebetween and having a dimension that radially increases from a first end to a second end of the body. A hinge member is rotatably fixed at the first body end for turning about an axis, and a corkscrew is connected to the hinge member. The corkscrew is pivotable about the axis between a retracted position lying in the gap and an extended position for pulling a cork out from a bottle mouth upon the body being turned about the hinge member while bearing slidingly against the bottle mouth at a position sliding from its first end to its second end.

Abstract: A stopper for a bottle includes a resilient outer body having an axial bore, a rigid inner body disposed within the bore, and a valve actuator moveably disposed within an axial opening of the inner body. A lower flange portion of the outer body extends radially across the bore to an axial aperture having a sealing surface. The valve actuator has an upper operator portion connected to a lower valve body portion by a longitudinally extending shaft portion. The valve body portion is sealingly engageable with the sealing surface of the orifice to close the orifice.

Abstract: A drinking device including a body having an open end and for containing a liquid, and a lid for sealingly closing the open end of the body. The lid has an outlet incorporating a first one-way valve for dispensing liquid from the body upon the application of suction at the outlet and an inlet incorporating a second one-way valve for air intake to automatically balance the internal pressure within the body with external pressure outside the body while liquid is being dispensed. The first valve includes a chamber having a resiliently deformable wall including a hole in communication with the outlet. The hole is normally closed by being pressed against an internal surface of the body by the resilience of the wall and is openable upon the application of suction.
