Abstract:

A foraminous basket-like device for holding baby bottle nipples to permit them to be washed in a household automatic dishwasher. U-shaped longitudinal and transverse members intersect in a generally flat, intermediate region forming one face of the device. Protruding inwardly of the device from this face are a plurality of sets of four protuberances spaced to loosely receive the heads of nipples. A foraminous closure provides the opposite face of the device and holds the nipples in place in the sets of protuberances. The closure is flat and serves as a base for the device when it is placed on the rack of a dishwasher. The device, with the exception of the separate closure, is molded of plastic material as an integral unit. The closure also is molded of plastic material.
