Abstract: A cup or container assembly having a lip activated input feature. The lip activated feature permits removal of the contents from the cup or container while mitigating against leaks and/or spills. The lid includes a movable member and a baffle. The cup assembly is constructed to have streamlined assembly method due to a reduced number of parts needing separation and/or improved connecting features. The improved geometry of lid components lends to heightened ease of cleaning.

Abstract: A cup (12) or container assembly (10) having a lip (13, 15) activated input feature. The lip (13, 15) activated feature permits removal of the contents from the cup (12) or container (12) while mitigating against leaks and/or spills. The lid (12, 14) includes a movable member (48, 58) and a baffle (54, 59).

Abstract: A feeding bottle has a first layer and optionally a second layer. The feeding bottle offers an improved user experience by mitigating against spills, leaks, improving feeding comfort, or offering information to the user about the feeding environment. The feeding bottle has a reusable liner that is compatible with breast pumps. The liner stores fluid such as breast milk in the freezer. The liner is adaptable to feeding bottle holders, collars, and/or nipples and thus facilitates feeding infants. The liner is adaptable to breast pumps, a liner cap, and one or more of a bottle holder, collar and nipple, such that the liner offers a pump, store, feed solution that is reusable and simplifies the number of parts required for any/all of pumping, storing and feeding activities.

Abstract: A potty assembly 10 includes a seat 12, a basin 14, and a base 16. The potty assembly 10 assist in positioning the child into a conducive sitting/squatting position by having a torso angle 88 and/or a knee angle 89 that is acute. This position is further assisted by having additional features such as one or more foot rests 18 and/or one or more handles 22 that assists the child in getting onto the potty assembly 10, eliminating waste while on the seat 12, and/or getting off the potty assembly 10.

Abstract: A breast pump system. The system includes a pump for generating suction; at least one breast shield; a first bottle operatively coupled to the breast shield for collecting milk; tubing connected between the pump and the breast shield for transmitting suction from the pump to the breast shield to draw milk into the breast shield; and a controller in communication with the pump. The controller is configured to control the pump to generate different suction levels in a cyclic manner at a frequency, control the pump to start and stop pumping, collect input from a user of an amount of milk collected, and store information for at least one pumping session.

Abstract: In another embodiment the invention provides a changing pad including a first panel including a first surface. The first panel defines a perimeter and includes a first edge and a second edge opposite the first edge. The changing pad further includes a first side panel coupled to the first panel at the first edge and a second side panel coupled to the first panel at the second edge. The changing pad includes a first configuration in which the first side panel and the second side panel are folded over the first panel and a second configuration in which the first side panel is folded to form a first barrier positioned adjacent to the first panel and the second side panel is folded to form a second barrier positioned adjacent to the first panel opposite the first barrier.

Abstract: A surgical knife safety device having a handle, a blade connected to the handle, and a guard carried by the handle for sliding movement between a retracted position in which the blade is exposed for use, and an extended position for covering the sharp cutting edge of the blade. In the retracted position, an enlarged guard radius is provided at the distal end of the handle to allow improved handle control and blade orientation. The enlarged guard radius is positioned to allow the user to firmly grip a large distal handle portion which is preferably molded as a single piece with the blade holder, preventing unwanted blade or handle movement due to guard mechanism tolerances. A spring, such as leaf spring, and a pair of detents or slots are provided to fix the guard in the extended or retracted position, and provide resistance during movement between the two positions. Additionally, an antitravel mechanism is incorporated in the guard to prevent accidental retraction from the fully extended position.
