Abstract
In an apparatus for holding components of a nursing bottle assembly in a dishwasher, a loading member has a first opening sized and configured for receiving a portion of a first component of the bottle assembly therein to seat the first component on the loading member, and a second opening separate from the first opening. The second opening is sized and configured for receiving a portion of a second component of the bottle assembly therein to seat the second component on the loading member. The first and second openings differ in at least one characteristic indicative of the respective first and second components. A retaining member is connected to the loading member for pivoting movement between an opened position to permit loading of the first and second components onto the loading member and a closed position for use of the apparatus in the dishwasher during operation thereof.
