Zusammenfassung:An infant feeding assembly including a nipple and a protective cap or shroud and retaining ring structure which clamps the assembly together onto the open end neck portion of a container. The protective shroud encloses the nipple during storage as well as compressing the nipple and closing the air vent holes. The assembly includes a disk for separating the product from the nipple and closure, the disk having an annular ridge on the periphery thereof to provide an effective seal when the closure is attached to seal the container. Upon release of the pressure, the annular ridge aids in separating the disk and nipple thereby releasing the vacuum within the bottle and facilitating the formation of an effective fluid flow path for the product in the container. A collar which covers the frangible connection between the shroud and retaining ring structure is provided to minimize possible injury when the shroud is removed.
