Definitions

  • the invention relates to a pacifier, comprising an elongated nipple and a flat shield, which has a hard first flat shield member and a soft compared to the hard shield part second flat shield member, wherein the two shield members are arranged substantially parallel to each other surface and maximum overlapping.
  • pacifiers The colloquially commonly referred to as pacifiers or Nuggi devices with a nipple for toddlers are made of hygienically safe material that is easy to keep germ-free.
  • Pacifiers typically have a suction head, which is largely adapted to the shape and size of the mouth of a child and is usually elastic. Typically, such suckers are pear-shaped.
  • Such pacifiers are used to soothe children, especially infants and toddlers. The children hold the pacifiers in their mouths and can suck them, which distracts them from disturbing events or possible physical complaints and calms down.
  • pacifiers common today have a hard, slightly cup-shaped plastic shield, which is largely adapted to a facial area in the area of the toddler's mouth. Attached to it is typically an elastic nipple made of rubber or silicone, which is taken by the child in the mouth.
  • the hard plastic shield can not accommodate a child's face shape, which can be uncomfortable for the child.
  • pacifiers with soft shields have elastic shields and offer a more comfortable feeling, but must not fall below a certain elasticity or degree of softness, so that the shield is not too easily deformed and can be taken by the toddler completely in the mouth. Due to the danger of asphyxiation, this must be avoided at all costs. In addition, pacifiers with soft shields have a comparatively low dimensional stability.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to provide a the above-mentioned technical field associated stable and safe pacifier, which is easy to manufacture and offers the child a comfortable feeling.
  • a pacifier comprises an elongated nipple and a flat shield, wherein the flat shield has a hard first flat shield member and a, in comparison to the hard shield member, soft second flat shield member.

  • the pacifier is characterized in that the hard and the soft shield part have a central connection, on which the soft shield part is held by the hard shield part.
  • pacifiers typically have a flat shield.
  • the shield prevents on the one hand, that a recording of the pacifier in the mouth, and thus swallowing, is possible at all, and keeps the pacifier on the other hand due to its shape in a designated position.
  • the shield is largely in the intended position in the mouth area on the face.
  • the pacifier shield is rigid in comparison with the nipple material for reliable protection against swallowing and positioning.
  • the shield therefore comprises a support structure, which forms a skeleton or skeleton for other components of the pacifier.
  • the support structure can be designed as a closed surface, but is preferably partially broken.
  • a framework-like support structure has the advantage that the openings of the support structure can be provided with other materials. This results in the ability to form different areas of the shield from materials of different hardness. In particular, partially soft materials such.
  • the overall construction of the shield still has the required rigidity.
  • a face-side surface of the shield z. B. be made of the same material as the sucker, whereby the comfort in use of the pacifier can be significantly improved.
  • a side facing away from the face of the shield, however, can be made hard without comfort.
  • the solution according to the invention thus provides a pacifier which on the one hand has good stability or strength of the pacifier shield on the one hand because of the hard or stiff shield part acting as a support structure.
  • the face-side shield part which essentially forms an elastic membrane, is made softer than the hard shield part, whereby those areas which can come into contact with the sensitive facial skin of the infant are made compatible and comfortable.
  • the hard shield part is typically made of conventional plastics, as used in known pacifiers for rigid shield construction use.

  • the filler is z. B. used in the breakthroughs or formed on the hard shield member, molded for example in an injection molding process.
  • the hard shield part has the effect that the pacifier, in particular the shield, has a solid structure which defines and / or supports a shield shape, while the softness required for good wearing comfort is guaranteed on the face side.
  • the toddler can still take the pacifier due to the hard part of the shield still in the mouth and swallow.
  • the hard shield parts also allows good handling by an adult, eg. B. when inserting the pacifier into the mouth of the infant.
  • the shield parts are arranged such that there is a double-walled shield, in the sense of a double membrane.
  • the shield parts are not connected to one another at one edge of the shield, but according to the invention have a central connection, on which the hard shield part holds the soft shield part.
  • the two shield parts are connected to each other in a simple way and the connection itself can be compact, just centralized, formed.

  • the shield parts For example, on a face side of the shield must be arranged.
  • no support structures comprising an edge of the soft shield member need be provided to hold the soft shield member, as is the case with various known pacifiers.
  • the hard shield part By fulfilling the holding function of the hard shield part via the central connection, it is not necessary for the hard shield part to overlap the edge of the soft shield part. Likewise, it is also not necessary that the soft shield part engages over the edge of the hard shield part. In other words, the soft shield part is not covered in any area of the face-side shield side of the hard shield part and the hard shield part is not covered on the face facing away from the shield in any area of the soft shield part. This creates the possibility that all of the areas of the shield that lie against the face can be made soft and comfortable for the toddler, without parts of the hard shield part on the face side of the pacifier influencing the wearing comfort or soft parts on the hygienically less clean side of the shield have to overlap.
  • the two shield parts may, for example, be spaced from each other in an edge region of the shield and / or have a notch or gap which serves as a dirt barrier and counteracts a transfer of contamination of the hard shield part to the soft shield part.
  • tethers are attached to the hard shield part, so provides a central connection between the two shield parts also benefits.
  • holding straps can be performed, for example, by a passage or an eyelet in the hard shield part and covered by the soft shield part. This reduces the risk that the sensitive facial skin of the child comes into contact with the tether.
  • the soft shield part is not covered by the hard shield part in any area of the face-side shield side, and the hard shield part is not covered by the soft shield part on the side of the shield which faces away from the face.

  • the hard shield member is increasingly exposed to contamination.
  • a transmission of impurities to the face or mouth of the infant should be avoided as much as possible.
  • the central connection is arranged in a region around an imaginary piercing point of the suction longitudinal axis through the shield as a centered connection.
  • An optimized connection of the pacifier is achieved by a centered connection, since the maximum distance between the central connection and the edge regions or outer edge regions of the two shield parts is minimized in the case of a centered arrangement of the connection.
  • Relative movement between the soft shield part and the hard shield part, which z. B. can be caused by eccentric pulling on the hard shield of an infant's mouth recorded pacifier, thereby best possible prevented.
  • the central connection it is also possible for the central connection to be arranged outside the region around the imaginary piercing point of the suction longitudinal axis through the shield. In this case, the central connection is mounted eccentrically with respect to the suction longitudinal axis.
  • the central connection is detachable.
  • a detachably formed central connection is understood to mean, in particular, a central connection which can be reversibly released or disconnected and subsequently joined to the original connection arrangement. Due to the solubility of the central connection, the hard shield part of the soft Separate shield part reversibly.

  • maximum overlapping refers in particular to an arrangement in which the entire surface of at least one shield part is completely covered by one surface of the other shield part.
  • the soft shield part completely covers the face side of the shield. This will ensure that the delicate facial skin of the infant does not come into contact with the hard shield during use of the pacifier. The skin irritations or skin injuries caused in conventional pacifiers by the constant rubbing and rubbing of the relatively hard shield parts on the facial skin are as best prevented.

  • Due to the concern of the soft shield part in an area on the hard shield part is, apart from the present invention existing central Connection between the two shield parts, an additional and effective support of the soft shield part obtained by the hard shield part, which is also structurally simple to implement. It has been found that it is sufficient if the soft shield part rests loosely on the hard shield part. In this case, an actual connection between the two shield parts in the supported regions can be dispensed with, without the support function of the hard shield part being markedly reduced.

  • the soft shield part thicker than the hard shield part. This may be advantageous in some cases to improve the inherent stability of the soft shield part if very soft materials are used for the soft shield part. However, this increases the material requirements, which is less economical. Furthermore, as the thickness of the soft shield member increases, the pacifier becomes bulkier overall, which correspondingly reduces handiness. It is also conceivable to make the soft shield part thinner than the hard shield part. In this case, however, the soft shield part is correspondingly less stable and prone to damage.
