Abstract

An infant feeding bottle holder apparatus at least includes: an adjustable mounting structure at least including a middle section, first and second end sections coupled to the middle section, and first and second clamp sections coupled to the ends of the first and second end sections, respectively; and a feeding bottle arm adapted to be coupled at a first end to the middle section, and adapted to be coupled at a second end to a feeding bottle. The first and second end sections are adapted to couple the infant feeding bottle holder apparatus to an apparatus in which an infant sits or lies. A feeding bottle operatively coupled to the feeding bottle arm may be positioned to allow the infant to autonomously drink from the feeding bottle.

Claims

1. An infant feeding bottle holder apparatus comprising:

an adjustable mounting structure comprising a middle section, first and second end sections coupled to said middle section, and first and second clamp sections coupled to the ends of said first and second end sections, respectively; and

a feeding bottle arm adapted to be coupled at a first end to said middle section, and adapted to be coupled at a second end to a feeding bottle;

wherein said first and second end sections are adapted to couple said infant feeding bottle holder apparatus to an apparatus in which an infant sits or lies, and wherein a feeding bottle operatively coupled to said feeding bottle arm may be positioned to allow said infant to autonomously drink from said feeding bottle.

2. The infant feeding bottle holder apparatus of claim 1, wherein said middle section further comprises a slotted teeth section adapted to accept the first end of said feeding bottle arm, and allow horizontal displacement of the coupling point.

3. The infant feeding bottle holder apparatus of claim 1, wherein the second end of said feeding bottle arm further comprises a strap coupler adapted to strap a feeding bottle to said feeding bottle arm.

4. The infant feeding bottle holder apparatus of claim 1, wherein said first and second end sections are adjustably coupled to said middle section to allow the middle section to be rotated about the end sections, to change the angle of the middle section about its longitudinal axis, and hence change the position of a feeding bottle coupled to a mounted feeding bottle arm.

5. The infant feeding bottle holder apparatus of claim 1, wherein said first and second clamp sections are rotatably coupled to said first and second end members, respectively.

6. The infant feeding bottle holder apparatus of claim 1, wherein said middle section is expandable along its longitudinal axis.

7. The infant feeding bottle holder apparatus of claim 1, wherein said middle section further comprises a slotted teeth section adapted to accept the first end of said feeding bottle arm, and allow horizontal displacement of the coupling point, wherein the second end of said feeding bottle arm further comprises a strap coupler adapted to strap a feeding bottle to said feeding bottle arm, wherein said first and second end sections are adjustably coupled to said middle section to allow the middle section to be rotated about the end sections, to change the angle of the middle section about its longitudinal axis, and hence change the position of a feeding bottle coupled to a mounted feeding bottle arm, and wherein said first and second clamp sections are rotatably coupled to said first and second end members.

8. An infant feeding bottle holder apparatus consisting essentially of:

an adjustable mounting structure consisting essentially of a middle section, first and second end sections coupled to said middle section, and first and second clamp sections coupled to the ends of said first and second end sections, respectively; and

a feeding bottle arm adapted to be coupled at a first end to said middle section, and adapted to be coupled at a second end to a feeding bottle;

wherein said first and second end sections are adapted to couple said infant feeding bottle holder apparatus to an apparatus in which an infant sits or lies, and wherein a feeding bottle operatively coupled to said feeding bottle arm may be positioned to allow said infant to autonomously drink from said feeding bottle.

9. An infant feeding bottle holder apparatus consisting of:

an adjustable mounting structure consisting of a middle section, first and second end sections coupled to said middle section, and first and second clamp sections coupled to the ends of said first and second end sections, respectively; and

a feeding bottle arm adapted to be coupled at a first end to said middle section, and adapted to be coupled at a second end to a feeding bottle;

wherein said first and second end sections are adapted to couple said infant feeding bottle holder apparatus to an apparatus in which an infant sits or lies, and wherein a feeding bottle operatively coupled to said feeding bottle arm may be positioned to allow said infant to autonomously drink from said feeding bottle.
