Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen Schnuller für Säuglinge und Kleinkinder der im Gattungsbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1 näher bezeichneten Art.The invention relates to a pacifier for infants and young children of the type specified in the preamble of claim 1.

Es sind zahlreiche solche Schnuller bekannt, die sich im we­sentlichen nur in der Ausbildung des Mundstücks und des darüber radial vorstehenden Kragens unterscheiden, um einerseits in optimaler Weise das Saugbedürfnis des Kindes zu befriedigen und andererseits dabei Kiefermissbildungen zu vermeiden. Auf der dem Mundstück abgelegenen Seite sind Schnuller dieser Art in der Regel mit einem Griffelement ausgestattet, damit man den Schnuller leicht ansetzen und auch wieder entfernen kann. Dar­überhinausgehende Funktionen erfüllen Schnuller in bekannter Ausgestaltung nicht.Numerous such pacifiers are known, which differ essentially only in the design of the mouthpiece and the collar projecting radially above it, in order on the one hand to optimally satisfy the child's need for suction and on the other hand to avoid jaw malformations. On the side away from the mouthpiece, pacifiers of this type are usually equipped with a grip element, so that the pacifier can be easily attached and removed. Beyond that, pacifiers in a known design do not perform functions.

Der Erfindung liegt deshalb die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Schnul­ler der gattungsbildenden Art mit besonderen Funktionselementen ausstatten zu können, die der Gesundheit oder der Unterhaltung des Kindes dienen.The invention is therefore based on the object of being able to equip a pacifier of the generic type with special functional elements which serve the health or entertainment of the child.

Diese Aufgabe wird bei einem Schnuller der gattungsgemässen Art durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale des Patentanspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is achieved in a pacifier of the generic type by the characterizing features of claim 1.

Der besondere Vorteil eines erfindungsgemässen Schnullers liegt darin, im Hohlraum des Hohlkörpers, der auf der dem Mundstück abgelegenen Seite des Kragens angebracht ist, Funktionselemente vorübergehend oder dauerhaft unterbringen zu können, die vor allem bei Erkältungskrankheiten einen heilsamen Effekt haben, eine Überwachungsfunktion übernehmen, wie beispielsweise eine etwaige Fiebertemperaturanzeige, oder die unterhaltsam für das Kind sind, indem sie einen optischen oder akustischen Reiz aus­üben.The particular advantage of a pacifier according to the invention is that it can temporarily or permanently accommodate functional elements in the hollow space of the hollow body, which is attached to the side of the collar remote from the mouthpiece, which have a healing effect, especially in the case of colds, such as for example a possible fever temperature display, or which are entertaining for the child by exercising a visual or acoustic stimulus.

In vorteilhafter Weise wird die Austauschbarkeit solcher Funk­tionselemente durch einen Verschlussdeckel des Höhlkörpers si­chergestellt, der im Falle medizinischer Zwecke mit Luftzirku­lationsöffnungen ausgestattet sein kann. In bevorzugter Ausfüh­rung haben sowohl der Hohlkörper als auch der vom ihm umschlos­sene Hohlraum eine zylindrische Gestalt, wobei dann der Hohl­raum zu der dem Kragen abliegenden Stirnseite hin offen und der Deckel von dieser Seite her auf den Hohlkörper aufgesetzt ist. Dabei sind der Hohlkörper und der Hohlraum koaxial mit der Längsachse des Mundstücks, wodurch der gesamte Schnuller eine ausgewogene Gestalt hat und leicht zu handhaben ist.The interchangeability of such functional elements is advantageously ensured by a cover of the hollow body, which can be equipped with air circulation openings in the case of medical purposes. In a preferred embodiment, both the hollow body and the cavity enclosed by it have a cylindrical shape, in which case the cavity is open towards the end face remote from the collar and the cover is placed on the hollow body from this side. The hollow body and the cavity are coaxial with the longitudinal axis of the mouthpiece, as a result of which the entire pacifier has a balanced shape and is easy to handle.

Weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungsmerkmale der Erfindung er­geben sich aus den Unteransprüchen.Further advantageous design features of the invention result from the subclaims.

Die Erfindung wird nachfolgend anhand der Zeichnung an einem Ausführungsbeispiel noch näher erläutert. Dabei zeigen:

  • Fig. 1 die Seitansicht eines Schnullers, der in der unteren Hälfte geschnitten ist und
  • Fig. 2 den Schnuller gemäss Fig. 1 im Gebrauch.
The invention is explained in more detail below with reference to the drawing using an exemplary embodiment. Show:
  • Fig. 1 is a side view of a pacifier, which is cut in the lower half and
  • Fig. 2 shows the pacifier according to Fig. 1 in use.

Der Aufbau des Schnullers der in Rede stehenden Art ergibt sich im einzelnen aus Fig. 1. An ein längliches Mundstück 1, das der Mundform von Kindern oder Säuglingen angepasst ist, schliesst sich an einem Ende ein Kragen 2 an, der deutlich in radialer Richtung über das Mundstück 1 vorsteht. Der Kragen 2 dient zur Anlage an der Ober- und der Unterlippe des Kindes, damit beim Schnullen nicht das gesamte Gerät verschluckt werden kann. An der vom Mundstück 1 abgelegenen Aussenseite schliesst an den Kragen 2 ein Hohlkörper 3 an, der etwa koaxial mit der Längs­achse des Mundstücks 1 ist. Er besteht aus einem fest an den Kragen 2 angesetzten inneren Teil 4, auf das nach Art eines Überwurfringes ein Deckel 5 von der vorderen Stirnseite her aufgesetzt ist. Sowohl das innere Teil 4 als auch der Deckel 5 haben vorzugsweise eine im wesentlichen zylindrische Gestalt, und beide Teile schliessen einen inneren Hohlraum 6 ein. Grund­sätzlich kann der Hohlkörper 3 auch eine eckige Querschnitts­form haben, um besondere optische oder technische Effekte zu erzielen.The construction of the pacifier of the type in question is shown in detail in FIG the mouthpiece 1 protrudes. The collar 2 is used for contact with the upper and lower lip of the child, so that the entire device cannot be swallowed when pacified. On the outside remote from the mouthpiece 1, a collar 3 adjoins the collar 2, which is approximately coaxial with the longitudinal axis of the mouthpiece 1. It consists of an inner part 4 firmly attached to the collar 2, onto which a cover 5 is placed from the front end side in the manner of a collar ring. Both the inner part 4 and the cover 5 preferably have a substantially cylindrical shape, and both parts enclose an inner cavity 6. In principle, the hollow body 3 can also have an angular cross-sectional shape in order to achieve special optical or technical effects.

Das Mundstück 1 ist ein elastischer Hohlkörper, dessen Wandung 8 an der dem geschlossenen, freien Ende gegenüberliegender Sei­te einen Stopfen 9 umschliesst, der von der offenen Seite des Hohlkörperteils 4 her fest eingesetzt ist und bis in den Zen­ tralbereich des Kragens 2 hineinreicht. Der Stopfen 9 kann eine oder mehrere Bohrungen haben, um den Innenraum 7 des Mundstücks 1 mit dem Hohlraum 6 des Hohlkörpers 3 zu verbinden.The mouthpiece 1 is an elastic hollow body, the wall 8 of which on the side opposite the closed, free end encloses a stopper 9, which is firmly inserted from the open side of the hollow body part 4 and into the zen tralbereich of the collar 2 extends into it. The plug 9 can have one or more bores in order to connect the interior 7 of the mouthpiece 1 to the cavity 6 of the hollow body 3.

Grundsätzlich kann der Hohlraum 6 an der zum Kragen 2 hin lie­genden Stirnseite durch eine Zwischenwandung 10 abgedichtet sein, die als topfartiger Einsatz im Hohlkörperteil 4 angeord­net und durch den Deckel 5 beispielsweise fixiert wird. Der Deckel 5 wird vorzugsweise mittels eines Gewindes 11 auf den Hohlkörperteil 4 aufgeschraubt, grundsätzlich kann er damit auch verrastet oder fest verbunden sein.Basically, the cavity 6 can be sealed on the end face lying towards the collar 2 by an intermediate wall 10, which is arranged as a pot-like insert in the hollow body part 4 and is fixed, for example, by the cover 5. The cover 5 is preferably screwed onto the hollow body part 4 by means of a thread 11, in principle it can also be latched or firmly connected to it.

Beim dargestsellten Ausführungsbeispiel nimmt der Hohlraum 6 eine saugfähige Einlage 12 auf, die mit einem flüchtigen Medi­kament benetzt werden kann, welches sich durch Zirkulationsöff­nungen 132 verflüchtigt, die in dem in Umfangsrichtung liegen­den Wandungsteil des Deckels 5 angeordnet sind. Zweckmässig sind darin die Öffnungen 13 einander diametral gegenüberliegend angeordnet. In anderen Ausführungen können auch eine oder mehrere solche Öffnungen an der Stirnseite des Deckels 5 vorge­sehen werden, schliesslich können die Zirkulationsöffnungen zusätzlich oder ausschliesslich am mit dem Schnuller festen Hohlkörperteil 4 angeordnet sein.In the exemplary embodiment shown, the cavity 6 receives an absorbent insert 12 which can be wetted with a volatile medicament which volatilizes through circulation openings 132 which are arranged in the circumferential wall part of the cover 5. The openings 13 are expediently arranged therein diametrically opposite one another. In other versions, one or more such openings can also be provided on the end face of the cover 5, finally the circulation openings can be additionally or exclusively arranged on the hollow body part 4 fixed with the pacifier.

Fig. 2 veranschaulicht wie beim Gebrauch des Schnullers durch die Atemluft des Kindes im Bereich des Hohlkörpers 3 eine Luft­strömung erzeugt wird, durch die die aus den Öffnungen 13 des Deckels 5 austretenden medikamentösen Dämmpfe in die Nase des Kindes gelangen. Dadurch lässt sich insbesondere bei Erkäl­tungskrankheiten die Nase des Kindes freihalten, wodurch das Kind ruhig einschläft.Fig. 2 illustrates how when using the pacifier through the child's breathing air in the region of the hollow body 3, an air flow is generated through which the medicinal vapors emerging from the openings 13 of the lid 5 into the nose of the Child. This makes it possible to keep the child's nose free, especially in the case of colds, so that the child falls asleep calmly.

In anderer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung kann in den Hohlraum 6 des Hohlkörpers 3 eine Spieluhr oder -dose eingelegt werden, deren Aufziehschnur durch eine der Zirkulationsöffnungen 13 des Deckels 5 nach aussen herausgeführt werden kann. Auch ist es möglich, die Spieldose derart in den Hohlkörper 3 zu integrie­ren, dass über den Deckel 5, der dann verdrehbar ausgebildet ist, die Spieldose aufgezogen werden kann.In another embodiment of the invention, a music box or box can be inserted into the cavity 6 of the hollow body 3, the pulling cord of which can be led out through one of the circulation openings 13 of the cover 5. It is also possible to integrate the music box into the hollow body 3 in such a way that the music box can be opened via the cover 5, which is then designed to be rotatable.

Ferner kann der Hohlraum 6 des Hohlkörpers 3 zur Aufnahme von kinderfreundlichen Motiven dienen, um als besonderer Blickfang für das Kind zu wirken. Hier ist an Fische im Wasserbecken oder an andere bewegliche Bilder zu denken, die dadurch für das Kind sichtbar sind, dass die Wandungen des Hohlkörpers 3 transparent ausgebildet werden.Furthermore, the cavity 6 of the hollow body 3 can serve to accommodate child-friendly motifs in order to act as a special eye-catcher for the child. Here you can think of fish in the water basin or other moving images that are visible to the child in that the walls of the hollow body 3 are made transparent.

Ferner kann der Hohlraum 6 des Hohlkörpers 3 am Schnuller zur Unterbringung eines Temperatur-Messgerätes, wie insbesondere eines Fieberthermometers, genutzt werden. Dieses Gerät kann mit einem Fühler ausgestattet sein, der im Innenraum 7 des Mund­stücks 1 untergebracht werden kann. Die Anzeige des Temperatur­messgerätes kann auf einer Ringskala oder dergl. erfolgen, auch ist es möglich, den Fieberbereich des Kindes farblich anzu­zeigen, indem beispielsweise der Farbumschlag von Kristallen bei bestimmten Temperaturen genutzt wird.Furthermore, the cavity 6 of the hollow body 3 on the pacifier can be used to accommodate a temperature measuring device, such as, in particular, a clinical thermometer. This device can be equipped with a sensor that can be accommodated in the interior 7 of the mouthpiece 1. The temperature measuring device can be displayed on a ring scale or the like. It is also possible to display the child's fever area in color, for example by using the color change of crystals at certain temperatures.

Schliesslich kann in den Hohlraum 6 des Hohlkörpers 3 auch eine schallerzeugende Membran eingebaut werden, die beim Schnullen Töne von sich gibt und somit eine beruhiegende Wirkung auf das Kind ausübt. Dafür ist ein Luftdurchtritt durch die Membrane hindurch oder an dieser vorbei erforderlich, der duch die Saug­bewegungen, die das Kind auf das Mundstück ausübt, bewirkt werden kann.Finally, a sound-generating membrane can also be installed in the cavity 6 of the hollow body 3, which sounds when it is pacified and thus has a calming effect on the child. This requires air to pass through or past the membrane, which can be caused by the suction movements that the child exerts on the mouthpiece.

Je nach Nutzung des Hohlraumes 6 kann die Gestalt des Hohlkör­pers 3, wie vorstehend erwähnt, unterschiedlich sein, um vor allem bei blickfangmässiger Ausbildung für das schnullende Kind gut sichtbare Flächen zu schaffen.Depending on the use of the cavity 6, the shape of the hollow body 3, as mentioned above, can be different, in order to create clearly visible surfaces for the pacifying child, especially with an eye-catching design.
