Patent number: 6978908Abstract: A drinking vessel with adjustable handles for a juvenile is disclosed. The drinking vessel features two handles that can be adjusted apart from each other at varying fixed or articulated angles. Furthermore, the two handles can be adjusted without the intervention of a person disassembling the drinking vessel in order to reorient or readjust the handles. The adjustable handles allow the juvenile to manipulate and hold the drinking vessels with greater flexibility.Type: GrantFiled: October 20, 2003Date of Patent: December 27, 2005Assignee: Gerber Products CompanyInventors: Emanuel P. Morano, Daniel J. Nelsen

Patent number: 6123222Abstract: There is provided a system for dispensing a plurality of nurser liners one at a time. The system includes a dispenser having a bottom wall with an edge that defines a flap, and a plurality of nurser liners stacked in a nesting arrangement. The flap is adapted to move from a first position to a second position in which the flap exposes an aperture in the bottom wall. Each one of the plurality of nurser liners has a single open end, and the open end has a flexible rim with a diameter greater than that of the aperture. The plurality of nurser liners are positioned so that the rims are adjacent the aperture with a lowermost one of the plurality of nurser liners abutting the edge. Accordingly, the edge acts as a dual-sided guide for deflecting the rim inward of the lowermost nurser liner as the rim passes through the aperture, and restricts the remainder of the plurality of nurser liners from moving with the lowermost nurser liner out of the dispenser to overcome friction forces caused by the nesting arrangement.Type: GrantFiled: October 22, 1998Date of Patent: September 26, 2000Assignee: Playtex Products, Inc.Inventors: David B. Richiger, Salvatore J. Leone, Emanuel P. Morano, Anthony E. Flecknoe-Brown

Patent number: 6003698Abstract: A unitary nipple and retaining ring having a nipple made of a first material, with a retaining ring made of a second material and having at least one aperture. The nipple is affixed to the retaining ring, and a portion of the first material of the nipple engages the aperture or apertures of the retaining ring, thus forming a durable bond between the nipple and the retaining ring.Type: GrantFiled: April 14, 1997Date of Patent: December 21, 1999Assignee: Playtex Products, Inc.Inventor: Emanuel P.

Patent number: 5894947Abstract: There is provided a nurser liner having a pair of removable textured tabs for mounting the nurser liner to the rim of a nurser container. The tabs have a textured surface formed by piercing and embossing with forming tools. Each tab has a plurality of pierced holes that go through the tab to form an improved surface for gripping and handling. Each tab also has a plurality of embossed areas that supplement the pierced holes to improve gripping and handling while minimizing wear to the forming tools. In addition, the tabs may have a three segment pattern such that a smooth, non-textured center portion is located between textured portions on either side of the center portion. Accordingly, the combination of pierced and embossed areas provides the gripping advantages of pierced tabs while minimizing the amount of wear caused to the forming tools.Type: GrantFiled: December 27, 1995Date of Patent: April 20, 1999Assignee: Playtex Products, Inc.Inventor: Emanuel P. Morano

Patent number: RE37016Abstract: A drinking cup has a cover which is formed with a drinking spout at one side and a vent at the other. Elements extend down from under the spout and the vent. A flow control element is provided and made of elastomeric material having a pair of spaced cavities on one side, each cavity having a floor at the bottom thereof. The cavities receive in frictional engagement respectively the lower ends of the elements. This engagement supports the flow control element with the floor of each cavity in sealed relation to its element. Each floor has a passage which is normally closed but opens on the occurrence of a pressure differential on opposite sides of the floor.Type: GrantFiled: August 6, 1998Date of Patent: January 16, 2001Assignee: Playtex Products, Inc.Inventor: Emanuel P.
