  • Patent number: 4896685
    Abstract: A decorative baby hair piece has a decorative adornment of embroidered ribbon attached to a lace backing element or a large bow without the backing element and a hair lock attached with glue to the decorative adornment. The hair lock includes two elongated, flexible, plastic strips having ends laser welded together and opposite ends left open. The open ends facilitate positioning baby hair between opposing surfaces of the two strips. Elongated male and female flexible plastic elements having corresponding lock forming shapes are formed integrally with the two strips and coact when pressed together to form a zipper type lock. Thus, with baby hair positioned across the male and female locking elements and the plastic strips pressed together to zip lock the locking elements together, the hair and the strips are simultaneously locked together for securing the decorative baby hair piece to the baby's hair.

  • Patent number: 4813556
    Abstract: A baby bottle for use with or without a liner in a first embodiment has a container with a bellows shaped top portion with an open end, a body portion having a pair of spaced tubular handle forming members, and a bottom portion having a closed end. The bellows is compressible for removing air from the container when used without a liner or a liner when used. The body portions spaced tubular members having a size suitable for grasping by a baby's hand form a centrally located bottle opening; the opening between the tubular members forms with the shape of the bottle bottom portion a guide for guiding a baby's hands to the handles for self-feeding. The handles are in vertical alignment with the top and bottom portions to facilitate bottle cleaning and liner insertion. A disposable, bifurcated, resilient liner is provided with an insert means for inserting the liner's bifurcated portions through the top portion to fit corresponding portions in the handles, and the bottom portion.
