TL;DR: A nursing bottle's interior remains at atmospheric pressure during use so a baby nursing from it is not forced to suck so hard that air is inadvertently swallowed as mentioned in this paper ; however, when the nursing bottle is inverted, an open air passage is established through the air conduit-reservoir liquid conduit to carry ambient air into the container.
Abstract: A nursing bottle's interior remains at atmospheric pressure during use so a baby nursing from it is not forced to suck so hard that air is inadvertently swallowed. The nursing bottle has a container adapted to contain liquid at its bottom and having an air space at its top with a first opening at its top for the reception of a nipple cap, a reservoir located adjacent to the air space at the top of the container, a vertical liquid conduit from the bottom of the container to the bottom of the reservoir, and an air conduit from outside the bottle to a point in the reservoir where an air space exists when the bottle is filled with liquid and inverted. The reservoir has a volume greater than the volume of the liquid conduit and has a shape which slopes downwardly to the point of communication with the conduit so that any liquid in the reservoir drains out of the reservoir when the bottle is in the upright position and is retained in the reservoir when the bottle is in the inverted position. When liquid is added to the nursing bottle and the nursing bottle is fitted with a nipple, the liquid level in the container and in the conduit are the same. Furthermore, when the nursing bottle is inverted, the liquid from the liquid conduit flows into the reservoir and an open air passage is established through the air conduit-reservoir-liquid conduit to carry ambient air into the container.

TL;DR: In this paper, a hand held blow molded plastic bottle having a vent passage extending along the interior of the bottle shoulder from the top of the body to the bottom of the neck is described.
Abstract: A hand held blow molded plastic bottle having a vent passage extending along the interior of the bottle shoulder from the top of the body to the bottom of the neck. During pouring, air flows through the vent passage to a vacuum produced pocket in the bottle and liquid flows from the bottle in a continuous, controllable and rapidly laminar stream.

TL;DR: In this paper, a device for heating or cooling a baby bottle or similar article by heat exchange with a thermal transfer fluid includes a container for holding the bottle in contact with the fluid, preferably water from a conventional faucet.
Abstract: A device for heating or cooling a baby bottle or similar article by heat exchange with a thermal transfer fluid includes a container for holding the bottle in contact with the fluid, preferably water from a conventional faucet. The bottle is held on a platform above the bottom of the container and the fluid is directed to flow upwardly through the platform against the bottle.

TL;DR: A self-filling bottled-water cooler dispenses pure water from a transparent water bottle mounted on the top of a free-standing cabinet body as mentioned in this paper, which attaches to a tap-water or other continuous water source.
Abstract: A self-filling bottled-water cooler dispenses pure water from a transparent water bottle mounted on the top of a free-standing cabinet body. The cooler attaches to a tap-water or other continuous water source and provides a continuous supply of pure water without need to change the water bottle The free-standing cabinet body includes a water tank located within the upper portion of the cabinet body and at least one tap for dispensing water from the water tank. The water bottle is securely attached on the top of the cabinet body to the water tank such that water freely flows between the bottle and the tank. Water from the tap water or other source is purified in a reverse osmosis, carbon block or other water purifier and is routed to the water tank. An inlet valve connected to a float mechanism within the water bottle regulates the flow of purified water into the water tank. The fload mechanism closes the inlet valve only when the purified water in the water bottle is at or above a desired full level. A venting system prevents overfilling of the water bottle and a change in air pressure within the bottle whenever the level of purified water in the bottle changes.

TL;DR: In this paper, a method and apparatus for filling a bottle with an oxygen sensitive liquid such as beer is described, in which the bottle is pre-evacuated, pressurized with pure CO 2, over-filled with liquid at constant pressure and then brought back to the proper fill level by injecting pure CO2 and forcing the excess back into the gas pressurized liquid storage tank while the bottle was still coupled to the filling head.
Abstract: A method and apparatus for filling a bottle with an oxygen sensitive liquid such as beer in which the bottle is pre-evacuated, pressurized with pure CO 2 , over-filled with liquid at constant pressure and then brought back to the proper fill level by injecting pure CO 2 and forcing the excess back into the gas pressurized liquid storage tank while the bottle is still coupled to the filling head. After uncoupling, the bottle is transported to under a closure cap applying device at which there are nozzles that project CO 2 under the device and over and around the mouth of the bottle so the space even within the cap is purged of air. The CO 2 used for purging is adequately free of air since it is taken from the storage tank to which CO 2 is returned from the bottles as a result of filling liquid displacing the CO 2 gas which is diluted only to the extent that pre-evacuation is not perfect.
