Independent infant bottle feeding ensemble
First Claim
1. A feeding device comprising a receptable having a lip, a lid complementary with said lip and having a first aperture formed therein, a tubular handle including means for supporting a nipple and said handle being of such a rigidity as to constitute means for supporting said receptacle in different positions during feeding, said handle providing a passage for fluid communication between said first aperture and said nipple, coupling means for coupling said handle with said lid and constituting means to permit movement of said handle relative to said lid at a first position wherein said handle is movable relative to said lid about a transverse axis therethrough, and further including means, in coaxial alignment with said coupling means, for restricting said handle to a second position wherein the movement about said transverse axis is limited.

Abstract
A versatile feeding device comprising a receptacle having a lip, a lid complementary with the lip and having a first aperture formed therein, a tubular handle supporting a nipple and of such a rigidity as to support the receptacle in different positions during feeding, the tubular handle providing a passage for fluid communication between the first aperture and the nipple, with a mounting flange on the lip of the bottle for holding the tubular handle for movement relative to the lid about a transverse axis and a guide portion with an abutment surface for coaxially receiving the tubular handle and mounted on the bottle lip to hold the tubular handle in a second position for limited movement about the transverse axis. To eliminate the need for anyone to hold the receptacle, a clamp is provided on an outer surface of the receptacle, for attachment of the receptacle to an anchored object. ALso disclosed is a kit for use on a feeding device.
