Claim 1
Independent Claim
265 words
A new and improved bottle formed of separable segments each adapted to educate and entertain a child during feeding comprising, in combination: a plurality of hollow, generally cube-shaped blocks matable together to form a baby bottle, each of the blocks having four generally square side walls unitarily coupled together at their edges to form an essentially square cross-sectional configuration with a longitudinal axis extending through the center thereof; the blocks including an uppermost block having at its upper extent screw threads, with a nipple and nipple support cap with integral threads removably mounted to the threads of the upper most block; the blocks also including a lowermost block being formed with a lower end cap in a square configuration unitarily secured at its edges to the lowermost edges of the side walls thereof; the blocks also including at least one intermediate block, with each intermediate block being formed with an axial flange and external O-ring at its upper end and an internal circular flange adapted to be received over the flange and O-ring of an adjacent block; an alpha-numeric character formed on at least one side wall of each block and an associated illustration of an object beginning with such alpha-numeric character on an associated side wall, one component of the alpha-numeric character of one block being physically interrelated with the next adjacent block; and a rectangular recess formed within the bottom face of the bottommost block with a supplemental rectangular window in a rectangular configuration positioned therein with a space therebetween for the positioning of a picture for being viewed through the supplemental window.

A new and improved bottle formed of separable segments each adapted to educate and entertain a child during feeding comprising, in combination: a plurality of hollow, generally cube-shaped blocks matable together to form a baby bottle, each of the blocks having four generally square side walls unitarily coupled together at their edges to form an essentially square cross-sectional configuration with a longitudinal axis extending through the center thereof; the blocks including an uppermost block having at its upper extent screw threads, with a nipple and nipple support cap with integral threads removably mounted to the threads of the upper most block; the blocks also including a lowermost block being formed with a lower end cap in a square configuration unitarily secured at its edges to the lowermost edges of the side walls thereof; the blocks also including at least one intermediate block, with each intermediate block being formed with an axial flange and external O-ring at its upper end and an internal circular flange adapted to be received over the flange and O-ring of an adjacent block; an alpha-numeric character formed on at least one side wall of each block and an associated illustration of an object beginning with such alpha-numeric character on an associated side wall, one component of the alpha-numeric character of one block being physically interrelated with the next adjacent block; and a rectangular recess formed within the bottom face of the bottommost block with a supplemental rectangular window in a rectangular configuration positioned therein with a space therebetween for the positioning of a picture for being viewed through the supplemental window.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
231 words
A baby bottle formed of separable segments each adapted to educate and entertain a child during feeding comprising: a plurality of hollow blocks matable together to form a baby bottle, each block generally formed in a cube shape with an open top, open bottom and four sidewalls having an essentially square cross-sectional configuration with a longitudinal axis extending through the center thereof; the blocks including an uppermost block having at its upper extent screw threads, with a nipple and nipple support cap with integral threads removably mounted to the threads of the upper most block; the blocks also including a lowermost block generally formed in a cube shape with an open top, closed bottom face, and four side walls having an essentially square cross-sectional configuration; the blocks also including at least one intermediate block, with each intermediate block being formed with an axial flange and external O-ring at its upper end and an internal circular flange adapted to be received over the flange and O-ring of an adjacent block; and an alpha-numeric character formed on at least one side wall of each block with one component of the alpha-numeric character of one block extending beyond the block and physically engaging with the alpha-numeric character on the next adjacent block when the blocks are mated and an associated illustration of an object beginning with such alpha-numeric character on an associated side wall.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
231 words
A baby bottle formed of separable segments each adapted to educate and entertain a child during feeding comprising: a plurality of hollow blocks matable together to form a baby bottle, each block generally formed in a cube shape with an open top, open bottom and four sidewalls having an essentially square cross-sectional configuration with a longitudinal axis extending through the center thereof; the blocks including an uppermost block having at its upper extent screw threads, with a nipple and nipple support cap with integral threads removably mounted to the threads of the upper most block; the blocks also including a lowermost block generally formed in a cube shape with an open top, closed bottom face, and four side walls having an essentially square cross-sectional configuration; the blocks also including at least one intermediate block, with each intermediate block being formed with an axial flange and external O-ring at its upper end and an internal circular flange adapted to be received over the flange and O-ring of an adjacent block; and an alpha-numeric character formed on at least one side wall of each block with one component of the alpha-numeric character of one block extending beyond the block and physically engaging with the alpha-numeric character on the next adjacent block when the blocks are mated and an associated illustration of an object beginning with such alpha-numeric character on an associated side wall.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
50 words
The bottle as set forth in claim 2 and further including: a transparent window of a configuration positioned within a recess formed within one side wall of each block, with a space between the recess and window for the receipt of a pre-selected picture for viewing through the window; and
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
48 words
The bottle as set forth in claim 2 and further including: a recess formed within the bottom face of the bottommost block with a supplemental window in a configuration positioned therein with a space therebetween for the positioning of a picture for being viewed through the supplemental window.
