The disclosure and prior art relates to bottle holders and more particularly pertains to a new bottle holder for securing a baby bottle to a car seat or stroller.
An embodiment of the disclosure meets the needs presented above by generally comprising a torso that is stuffed. A pair of hind legs and a head are coupled to the torso. The head has a pair of eyes, a pair of ears, and a nose coupled to a snout portion of the head. The snout portion extends from beneath the pair of eyes and has a bottle cavity extending into the torso that is configured to receive a baby bottle. A bottle ring is coupled to the head. The bottle ring is coupled around a perimeter of the bottle cavity and the bottle ring is elasticized and configured to secure the baby bottle within the bottle cavity. A pair of arms is coupled to the torso, and each of the pair of arms has a flexible inner arm tubing and a soft outer arm layer continuously coupled around the inner arm tubing. Each of the pair of arms is flexible such that it can maintain its shape, and each of the pair of arms is configured to wrap around a handle of a car seat or a stroller. A pair of hands is coupled to the pair of arms, and each of the pair of hands comprises a palm and a plurality of fingers coupled to the palm. Each of the fingers has a flexible inner finger tubing and a soft outer finger layer continuously coupled around the inner finger tubing. Each of the fingers is flexible such that it can maintain its shape, and each of the fingers is configured to wrap around the handle. The torso, the pair of hind legs, the head, the pair of arms, and the pair of hands form a stuffed animal.
There has thus been outlined, rather broadly, the more important features of the disclosure in order that the detailed description thereof that follows may be better understood, and in order that the present contribution to the art may be better appreciated. There are additional features of the disclosure that will be described hereinafter and which will form the subject matter of the claims appended hereto.
The objects of the disclosure, along with the various features of novelty which characterize the disclosure, are pointed out with particularity in the claims annexed to and forming a part of this disclosure.
The disclosure will be better understood and objects other than those set forth above will become apparent when consideration is given to the following detailed description thereof. Such description makes reference to the annexed drawings wherein:
With reference now to the drawings, and in particular to
As best illustrated in
A pair of hands 52 is coupled to the pair of arms 40. Each of the pair of hands 52 comprises a palm 54 and a plurality of fingers 56 coupled to the palm 54. Each of the fingers 56 has a rounded tip 58 and a rubberized finger grip 60 coupled to an underside 61 of the tip 58. A rubberized paw grip 62 is coupled to an inside 63 of the palm 54. Each of the fingers 56 has a flexible inner finger tubing 64 and a soft outer finger layer 66 continuously coupled around the inner finger tubing 64. The outer finger layer 66 follows the contour of a plurality of finger ridges 68 of the inner finger tubing 64. The inner finger tubing 64 may also be extendable and alternatively compressible gooseneck tubing. Each of the fingers 56 is flexible such that it can maintain its shape, and each of the fingers 56 is configured to wrap around the handle 50 to further secure the apparatus 10. The finger grips 60, which may be circular, and paw grips 62 help to prevent slippage on the handle 50. The torso 12, the pair of hind legs 14, the head 18, the pair of arms 40, and the pair of hands 52 form a stuffed animal 70. The stuffed animal 70 may be one of a stuffed bear 71, a stuffed cat, or a stuffed monkey. The torso 12, the head 18, and the hind legs 14 may be a plush furry material that is desirable for a child to hold.
In use, the baby bottle 30 is inserted into the torso 12 of the stuffed animal 70. The pair of arms 40 is wrapped and alternatively unwrapped from the handle 50 of the car seat 51 or stroller as desired to hold the baby bottle 30 in place near the child.
With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized that the optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of an embodiment enabled by the disclosure, to include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function and manner of operation, assembly and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are intended to be encompassed by an embodiment of the disclosure.
Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the disclosure. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the disclosure to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the disclosure. In this patent document, the word “comprising” is used in its non-limiting sense to mean that items following the word are included, but items not specifically mentioned are not excluded. A reference to an element by the indefinite article “a” does not exclude the possibility that more than one of the element is present, unless the context clearly requires that there be only one of the elements.
