ABSTRACT:
A feeder nipple system removably mounted on a container and has a nipple body with a nipple, and a detachable valve which prevents leakage from the nipple body. The detachable feature of the valve also permits proper sanitization of the feeder nipple system. The valve has a toroidal shaped top portion integrally joined by a truncated trapezoidal shaped neck of the valve to a toroidal shaped bottom portion of the valve which has a circular central portion having a slightly concave shape with slits which form a plurality of flaps. When the flaps are opened in the direction of a sucking force applied to the nipple, fluid flows out of the nipple body. However, when the flaps are closed, upon cessation of the applied sucking force, the fluid is prevented from leaking through the detachable valve and out of the nipple body. The nipple body, nipple, and detachable valve are made of pliable material which allows them to be easily deformable.
