Definitions
- This invention relates to formula milk preparation apparatus, a method of using such apparatus, and formula milk prepared using the apparatus and/or method.
- 'formula milk is throughout intended to mean any type of powdered milk which is mixed with liquid to enable consumption. This type of milk is commonly used with babies, toddlers and infants.
- the powdered formula milk must be mixed with reasonably hot water.
- the drink therefore requires time to cool to a suitable temperature before drinking.
- Faster cooling can be achieved if the mixture can be moved and/or subjected to a colder environment, such as cold running water.
- this typically requires intervention from the person preparing the drink, which can, again, often be difficult if the intended recipient of the drink is showing distress.
- the present invention seeks to overcome these problems.
- Formula milk preparation apparatus comprising: a support structure, first and second containers supported by the support structure, the first container being adapted to hold a liquid, and the second container being adapted to hold powdered fo ⁇ nula milk, means for regulating the temperature of the contents of the first container; means for dispensing an amount of content of the first and second containers; and means for mixing together the contents dispensed from the first and second containers.
- a method of preparing formula milk using preparation apparatus comprising the steps of : a. inserting liquid into the first container; b. inserting powered fo ⁇ nula milk into the second container; c. the regulating means bringing and maintaining the temperature of the liquid in the first container at a predetermined temperature; d. dispensing an amount of the liquid in the first container and the powdered milk in the second container into a or the third container; and e. the mixing means mixing the liquid and powdered milk together.

- the second container 16 is adapted to hold powdered formula milk.
- both containers 14 and 16 are shown as having generally square transverse cross-sections, the containers may have any suitable shape cross-section, such as circular.
- the preparation apparatus 10 includes means for regulating the temperature of the contents of the first container 14. This may take any suitable fo ⁇ n, and in this case is in the form of an electrically energisable heating jacket or sleeve 24 positioned along or around the inner wall of the first container 14.
- the heating sleeve 24 is controlled by a micro-control unit (not shown) to regulate the temperature of the contents of the first container 14 to a user pre-set value, which includes a value or values between 90°C and 100°C, and a value or values between 60°C and 70°C.
- the preparation apparatus 10 also includes means for dispensing an amount of content from both the first and second containers 14 and 16.
- the motor- operated pump 26 is controlled via the micro-control unit mentioned above.
- a motor-operated turntable arrangement 32 is used to enable a predetermined amount of powdered formula milk to be dispensed from the second container 16.
- a turntable 34 of the turntable arrangement 32 is partitioned into four segments 36 to form a ' + ' shape open at the top and bottom.
- the turntable 34 is rotatably driveable by an electric motor 38 mounted in the base 40 of the second container 16.
- the electric motor 38 is controlled by the micro-control unit mentioned above.
- a separate roof portion 42 extends over the turntable 34.
- the roof portion 42 has a cut-out 44 corresponding in dimensions to one segment 36 of the partitioned turntable 34.
- the roof portion 42 is generally in the form of an inverted cone and extends across the second container 16 in a plane generally parallel to, and spaced from, a plane of the top opening 22 of the second container 16.
- a separate base 46 of the turntable arrangement 32 corresponds to the base 40 of the second container 16, and includes a sloping portion 48 corresponding in dimensions to one segment 36 of the partitioned turntable 34.
- the sloping portion 48 slopes downwards from the turntable 34 towards an opening 50 in the base 40 of the second container 16.
- the position of the sloping portion 48 of the base 46 of the turntable arrangement 32 relative to the cut-out 44 of the roof portion 42 may vary, but is never in direct vertical alignment.
- the sloping portion 48 of the base 46 is diametrically opposite the cut-out 44 of the roof portion 42.
- the base 46 of the turntable arrangement 32, excluding the sloping portion 48, is parallel or substantially parallel to the turntable 34 and supports the turntable 34 during rotation.
- Any other suitable means could be utilised to enable an amount of the contents of the first and second containers 14 and 16 to be dispensed.
- the preparation apparatus 10 is also provided with means for mixing the contents dispensed from the first and second containers 14 and 16.
- a third container typically in the form of a baby feeding bottle
- the first and second containers 14 and 16 will dispense into the third container.
- jaws 54 are supported for reciprocating up-and-down movement by the support structure 12.
- the jaws 54 are spring-loaded, as can be seen in Figures 5 and 6, to enable the third container (baby feeding bottle, not shown) to be securely but removably held on the support structure 12.
- Each jaw 54 may include teeth or ridges (not shown) to enhance gripping the third container.
- the teeth or ridges, if provided may be fo ⁇ ned as part of a plastics or rubber sleeve (not shown) into which each jaw 54 can be inserted.
- the mixing means includes a motor-operated crank mechanism 56, which, although depicted as being external, is preferably hidden from view within the back portion 20 of the support structure 12.
- the crank mechanism 56 is supported by the support structure 12 and comprises a crank arm 58, driven by an electric-motor (not shown), and a piston arm 60 pivotably connected to the crank arm 58 at one end and the jaws 54 at the other end.
- the jaws 54 slide in a vertically extending first run 62.
- the micro-control unit mentioned above, controls the operation of the electric motor of the crank mechanism 56.
- crank mechanism 56 could be replaced by any other suitable means for mixing the contents dispensed from first and second containers 14 and 16.
- vibration, rotation and/or stirring can be utilised.
- Means for cooling the mixture produced by the mixing means is also provided as part of the preparation apparatus 10.
- the cooling means is formed as part of the mixing means, and takes the form of dispersing the contents of the first and second containers 14 and 16 over the surface of the third container while they are being mixed. This has the effect of introducing the mixture to a larger surface area which is at a lower temperature due to its exposure to ambient temperature, thus resulting in increased cooling. Further steps, such as pre-cooling the third container prior to use could also be considered.
- the feeding bottle could be kept in a refrigerator,
- the third container (not shown), in this case the feeding bottle, is formed with a hinged cap attached to the third container.
- the hinged cap when closed over the opening to the third container, fluid-tightly seals around the opening.
- the hinged cap typically includes a rubber teat mounted thereon, and may also include a removable cover which covers the rubber teat and prevents contamination prior to use.
- the hinged cap and third container include a snap-fit fastening formation formed opposite the hinge. When flipped over, the hinged cap fastens to the third container and fluid-tightly seals around the opening.
- the preparation apparatus 10 includes a closure mechanism 64 supported on the back portion 20 of the support structure 12.
- the closure mechanism 64 comprises a paddle 66 slidable in a vertical second run 68.
- the paddle 66 is driven by an electric motor (not shown) which is controlled by the micro-control unit.
- the vertical second run 68 is parallel to the vertical first run 62 along which the jaws 54 move.
- the paddle 66 is of suitable dimensions to enable forcible contact with the hinged cap of the third container when held by the jaws 54. This contact is sufficient to cause full engagement of the snap-fit fastening formation on the hinged cap and third container.
- a user input device 70 is provided on one side of the preparation apparatus 10.
- the micro-control unit is preprogrammed to accept a number of predetermined user inputs via the user input device 70.
- the micro-control unit can be instructed to boil a liquid held in the first container 14, and/or regulate the temperature of a liquid held in the first container 14 to one or more user-selected temperatures.
- the micro-control unit can also be instructed to dispense differing amounts of content from the first and second containers 14 and 16, depending on the quantity of formula milk desired and/or the relative amounts of the contents.
- the micro-control unit includes a variety of pre-set programmes which automate the entire task of preparing the formula milk, from the dispensing of the contents based on the volume of formula milk required, to the duration of mixing and cooling.
- the micro- control unit may also include a timer to enable automation to begin at a certain time, set through the user input device 70, and a manual over-ride facility to allow pausing and/or cancellation partway through a programme.
- the user input device 70 also includes a standard 'start' input which allows immediate usage of the apparatus.
- a sensor (not shown) is placed on the jaws 54 to determine the presence of the third container. Operation of the preparation apparatus 10 is prevented by the micro- control unit if it is sensed that the third container is not present.
- a liquid typically water
- powdered fo ⁇ nula milk is placed in the second container 16.
- the desired temperature of the liquid is set through the user input device 70, and the temperature of the liquid is regulated by the regulation means to maintain this temperature.
- the third container which is initially empty, is inserted between the jaws 54. Based on the user input, the dispensing means operates to dispense a predetermined amount of content from the first and second containers 14 and 16 into the third container.
- the motor-operated pump 26 discharges liquid from the second container, through the opening 28 in the first container 14; and powdered formula milk fills one segment 36 of the turntable 34 which, through the rotation of the turntable 34, aligns with and discharges through the opening 50 in the second container 16.
- the third container is then closed via the closure mechanism 64, and the mixing means and the cooling means operate to mix and cool the contents of the third container. Once the contents of the third container are brought to a temperature suitable for consumption, the mixing and cooling means halt to allow demounting of the third container.
- the micro-control unit enables the operation of the dispensing means, the mixing means and the cooling means to be delayed for a predetermined, or an indeterminate, period. Therefore, the liquid and powdered milk can be loaded into the first and second containers 14 and 16, and the temperature of the liquid can be regulated until such time that the formula milk is required. At this time, the 'start' input is simply pressed and the remainder of the process is automatically performed.
- the micro-control unit may have a memory function to forego the necessity of repeatedly selecting a programme, amount to be dispensed, and/or period of operation of the cooling means. This allows simple 'one touch' operation via the 'start' input on the user input device 70.
- the apparatus may be provided with a sensor (not shown) for determining the temperature of the contents of the third container. Additionally, or alternatively, operation of the cooling means may be based on predetermined values derived from the temperature of the liquid in the first container 14 and the amount of content or
- the formula milk preparation apparatus is substantially as described above, except that the third container is used solely to mix the contents dispensed from the first and second containers, and to cool the mixture.
- the formula milk can then be dispensed from the third container into a fourth container, which in this case would be the feeding bottle.
- the third container is demountably held by the support structure, to enable simplified cleaning, and may be mounted internally within the support structure.
- the dispensing means, mixing means, and cooling means are as described in the first embodiment.
- the closure mechanism of the first embodiment can be dispensed with, since the feeding bottle is no longer being shaken by the apparatus, and the jaws may take another fo ⁇ n more suitable for holding the third container in place during mixing.
- the cooling means could be prior to the third container, i.e. the liquid is cooled before it enters the third container, or the cooling means could be subsequent to the third container, i.e. the mixture as a whole is cooled after it leaves the third container and before it enters the feeding bottle.
- the cooling means could alternatively, or additionally, be in the form of a cold water jacket, or other type of heat sink, either surrounding the third container and/or through which the liquid and/or mixture flows.
- the base of the support structure may be provided with a drip tray (not shown).
- the preparation apparatus is generally water-proof or water resistant to protect against the damaging effects of liquid splashes. All electrical items are, typically, fluid-tightly sealed to reduce electrical hazards.
- the preparation apparatus as a whole is formed generally from plastics or metal.
- first and second containers or even the first, second, and third containers, could be in the form of a single unit simply partitioned to provide suitable volumes.
- formula milk preparation apparatus which automates the task of preparing milk from powdered formula milk. It is also possible to provide apparatus which produces formula milk at a suitable temperature for immediate consumption. The apparatus also enables automatic preparation of formula milk at a predete ⁇ nined time.
- the regulating means could be in the form of an electrically energisable hot plate, instead of the heating jacket or sleeve; and a manually operable pump or a turntable arrangement as previously described could be used in place of the motor-operated pump in the first container to dispense liquid.
