Abstract
An improved pacifier has a base section and a sucking or nipple section on which are disposed a plurality of protrusions of various shapes so that when a baby sucks hard on the sucking or nipple section will force the same into deformation and when the nipple section is relaxed, the same will resume its shape. Continuous deformation and resumption of its shape, the protrusions on the sucking or nipple section of the pacifier will scrub and massage the top of the tongue of a baby simultaneously.
Description
PACIFIER WITH CLEANING PROTRUSIONS
BACKGROUND OF THE IN~ENTION
Thé present invention relates to a p;acifier having a base section and a s~cking or nipple section on which are provided with a plurality of cleaning or massage protrusions which ca~ be in the form of rings, lines or dots so that when a baby sucks hard on the nipple section , the same will deform; and when it is relaxed the nipple section wi-ll resume its shape. $uch repeateq deformation and resumption of the shape of the sucking dr nipple section of a pacifier can keep the t-op of its tongue cleaned and massaged at the same time, and make its mouth muscles exercise too. Such pacifier readily remoyes food residues in a mouth and particularly on the top of a tongue when sucked and bitten by à baby, facilitating aimother in keeping her baby's mouth in a hygienic condition without using other cleansing tools.
As it is well known that in a baby nursing prdcess in which foods, especially milk or food of the like, are mainly fed by means of a milk bottle with a paçifier. Milk or milk-related food becomes easily soured in mouth and is bad for teeth becausè bacteria can propagate fast as a result of residues sticked to thé teeth or the top of a tongue of a baby.
A nursing mother usually uses a tooth brush, or a 2l~3626 cotton stick or a piece of gauzé, a tongue scrubber, etc.
to r,emove food residues in a mouth. Besides/ there are a number of, in addition ,to a bare finger as shown in Fig.lb, finger mounted cleasing tools also commonLy used to clean a baby's teeth, tongue or mouth, as show~ in Figs.l, lA,,lC,}D. This way of c}eaning a baby's mou,th can make it frigh~ened ,and painful or uncomfortable.
SUMMARY OF THE~INVENTION
Therefore, the primary ~bject of the present invention is to provide a pacifier having a plurality of protruded`dots or rings around the sucking portion thereof so as to permit a baby to cleanse its mouth or the top of its tongue automatically when the pacifier is sucked and bitten in mouth.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THElPREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
Referring to Fig. 2, the pacifier of the present invention is made of resilient materials such as silicone or material of the like. on the sucking or niPPle sction of the pacifier are provided with proper protruded lines or rings or dots 1. The pacifier has an énlarged base section 2 for preventing a baby from swallowing the same.-Referring to Fig. 4A, when a baby sucks on thesucking or nipple section of the pacifier ~f the present invention and makes the same slide inward. The sucking section will be pressed slightly flat and extended into deformat~on, as shown in Fig. 4B, by the tongue and the muscle of the lower jaw, making the pacifier to come ç~ose abutment against the top of the tongue. While--thè muscles of the mouth of ? baby are relaxed, the pacifier, as shown in Fig. 4C, will resume its shape. In the~ repèated process of the pacifier deforming and resuming its shape, the protruded ring, lines or dots, due to the resilience of the pacifier, can scruh the residùes on the top of a tongue off effectively ànd massage the same simultaneously.
