An improved feeding utensil which includes a container for liquid and a soft spoon shaped feeding portion which receives liquid from the container for feeding, such as for feeding an infant. A preferred embodiment has a one-way valve which functions to allow liquid to flow out from the container into a liquid delivery element, the latter including a reservoir portion for temporarily storing liquid that has passed from the container through the one-way valve, and a spoon shaped feeding portion adapted for feeding the liquid received from the reservoir portion. The liquid delivery element is constructed of soft plastic material or natural or synthetic rubber material. The flexibility of this material facilitates metering of the liquid and also provides a familiar textured feeding cup for inserting into the mouth that is being fed.
Cette invention concerne un ustensile constitué d'un récipient à liquide et d'un accessoire souple en forme de cuillère, servant à alimenter un sujet, par exemple un enfant en bas âge. Dans une variante privilégiée, un clapet anti-retour laisse passer le liquide du récipient vers un dispositif de distribution qui comporte un réservoir pouvant contenir le liquide temporairement. Ce dispositif de distribution est fait de plastique ou d'élastomère naturel ou artificiel souple, rendant la quantité de liquide distribuée facile à régler et offrant à la bouche une texture familière.
