Abstract: Embodiments relate to a baby bottle having a nipple with enhanced resilience against flexing of its body during bottle-feeding use. The nipple has ribs extending in a slanted direction on its inner surface to enhance its elastic recovery elongation or contraction during a bottle-feeding cycle. Some of the ribs may extend into an elongated tip of the nipple to enhance the recovery of the elongated tip from its collapse or compression. The ribs enable the nipple to remain thin while providing sufficient elasticity so that the nipple has a desirable tactile feel while supporting a natural bottle-feeding action. Embodiments also relate to a container of the baby bottle having a rigid cylinder and a resilient body secured to the rigid cylinder. The rigid cylinder has a structure to secure the resilient body formed onto the rigid cylinder by an injection molding process.

Abstract: Embodiments relate to a self-orienting handle assembly that is oriented in a predetermined direction relative to a lid when the lid is screwed onto a container. The handle assembly includes a locking structure that locks onto a counterpart locking structure of the lid as the lid is screwed onto the container. The locking structure may include at least one of a protrusion or a notch, and the counterpart locking structure may have an inverse shape. When the lid is screwed onto the container, the locking structure engages the counterpart locking structure and cause the handle assembly to rotate with the lid. When the lid is screwed onto the container, the locking structure locks onto the counterpart locking structure, and thereby prevents the handle assembly from rotating relative to the lid.

Abstract: Embodiments relate to a container lid with vent holes that are blocked for storage but automatically unblocked when a container attached to the container lid is heated. The heating of the container lid causes the pressure to build in the container, which pushes up an upper portion of the container lid. When the upper portion of the container lid is pushed up, the vent holes are unblocked and enable air or vapor to escape through the vent holes. In this way, the container lid may seal the container during storage but enables automatic venting during the heating of the container to prevent buildup of excessive pressure within the container.
