Biberão
Trata-se de uma aplicação que tem forma de biberão. Estaria interessado em saber se há algum termo técnico para esta forma que possa ser utilizado na verão inglesa, ou se pelo contrário "baby bottle" seria um termo perfeitamente aceitável numa descrição des especificidades técnicas.
This is an accessory in the shape of a baby bottle. I was interested in knowing whether there would be an alternative name to baby bottle you might use in a text explaining the technical data of this item, or if you think baby bottle is actually quite suitable.
Thank you all!

Infelizmente estou a trabalhar com novíssimas patentes. Produtos que só agora vão começar a circular nesse mercado. A minha preocupação era só mesmo se haveria um nome alternativo à forma! A minha preocupação não é o objecto (o que faz e o nome que poderá ter) mas simplesmente a forma!
Tem forma de biberão! (não é um biberão) como diriam isto em inglês? O mais óbvio é "baby bottle shaped" não soa muito bem, pois não?
Alguma sugestão?
nao faço ideia do que seja isso nem mesmo em PT BR, mas talvez o site abaixo tenha alguma utilidade...;o)

bom trabalho,

Thanks for your feedback. Unfortunately, both contributions so far are linked to actual baby "equipment". Please note context: Central Vacuum-Cleanins systems! So the accessory I am working on, is actually not at all baby related, hence my doubt about the use of the expression "baby bottle". It's about the objects' shape, so I suppose "baby bottle" is in fact usable. Just wanted to know if there is any other expression I might use, it's an industrial equipment...
Thanks again to all and you guys (Verginia and David)
