Improvements in Feeding* Bottles, Soothing Teats, Teething Pads, and such like articles used by Infants. Hyppolite Besson of 63 Alexandra Road Hornsey in the County of Middlesex Mechanical Engineer and William Charles Hawtin of 26 Norman Terrace Selby Road Leytonstone Essex, Foreman do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows :— 5 Firstly, our invention relates to better means to assure or help the breathing of the infant while drawing or sucking milk or such like food from a feeding bottle or when using soothing or teething teats. Secondly, relates to better means to protect the glass tube, which hangs inside the feeding bottle, from breaking, and also to prevent any thick sediment to pass 10 up the glass tube. The first part of our invention consists of a small shield or protector formed with corrugations or having rising surfaces and hollows so that the lips of the infant can only come in contact with the said projecting surfaces in sucking while the hollows caused by the said projecting surfaces will allow air to circulate freely 15 during teething or sucking. The second part of our invention consists of a hollow bulb or balloon, spherical or oval shape, or any such convenient shape, fitted to bottom end of glass tube which hangs in feeding bottles. The bulb has very fine perforations or slits, made thro’ the thickness of its surfaces, so as to intercept all thick substance or sediment, 20 but will allow milk or such like food, pass freely, or we may replace the perforation by fitting to the bulb or part of it, a small sieve.
