Description

  The present invention relates to a pacifier for infants in consideration of hygiene.

  The pacifier that an infant can receive consists of, as a basic structure, a nipple that an infant made of silicone resin can hold in the mouth, and a flange-shaped synthetic resin base that stands the nipple so that the nipple is not swallowed. Such a basic configuration is well known.

  Then, if the baby gets tired of pacifier play, she will vomit her mouth. In this case, a single pacifier can easily fall on the floor or ground. If this action is done at home, it is easy to wash the pacifier, but if it is out, it is not easy to wash. Moreover, if you pick up the pacifier that the baby dropped and pick it up again, there is a problem with hygiene.

  Various configurations have been proposed to avoid pacifiers falling easily and becoming unsanitary.

  Among these known documents, Patent Document 1 describes a clip that holds a pacifier to clothes. In Patent Document 2, a configuration is described in which a pacifier is provided with a hanging string and this is connected to a bib button, and in Patent Document 3, a pacifier is attached to the strap ring, and a sandwiching portion is provided at the opposite end. The structure which connects between this with the expansion-contraction coil part made from resin is described.

In these publicly known documents, all the pacifiers are the same in the configuration in which the pacifier is fastened so as not to fall on the floor or the ground. However, the dropped pacifier itself is maintained in a state where it is hung from the end of the hanging strap or the extension coil portion, and if the pacifier is released while the baby is sitting on the floor, the pacifier may still come into contact with the floor. Also, since the pacifier is free to swing, it comes into contact with the baby's clothes and is not completely clean in terms of hygiene.
The present invention solves the problem of such a conventional device, and provides a pacifier that can keep a pacifier separated from its mouth in a fixed position and can be kept extremely clean in terms of hygiene. For the purpose.

  In the present invention, in order to achieve the above object, a flat plate portion, a pacifier body comprising a nipple standing on the flat plate portion, a fixing tool that is detachably fixed to a part of an infant with a clip, and the pacifier main body The pacifier body and the fixture are each provided with a magnet and / or a magnetic body, and the magnet and / or the magnetic body are attracted by a magnetic force to pacifier. A means of temporarily fixing the main body to the fixture was used. The pacifier body and fixture are adsorbed by a combination of magnets and magnetic bodies provided on the pacifier body and fixture, so if the baby stops pacifier, temporarily fix the pacifier body to the fixture The pacifier body can be easily detached from the fixture even when it is used again. Therefore, it is possible to use a pacifier while maintaining cleanliness.

  In addition, since the magnet and / or magnetic body is embedded in the flat plate portion of the pacifier body and a part of the fixture, each of which is made of synthetic resin, the magnet and the magnetic body are not accidentally peeled off, and safety is ensured. It is. When a rubber magnet is employed as the magnet instead of such embedding, the rubber magnet plane can ensure a relatively wide area, and therefore, even when bonded, the rubber magnet is not easily peeled off. The same safety as that described in the above can be ensured.

  In the present invention, since the means as described above is employed, the pacifier body can be easily temporarily fixed to the fixture, and can be easily removed even when used again, which is convenient in use. Moreover, it is not only considering the prevention of falling as in the past, but it is not only intended to prevent the conventional dropping by the connection part, but also temporarily fixed at a place where infants and parents can easily find it, so it is clean. It is possible to check the location at all times.

  Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 is a plan view showing a preferred embodiment of the pacifier according to the present invention, wherein 1 is a pacifier body, 2 is a fixture for temporarily attaching the pacifier body 1, and 3 is a connection portion for connecting the pacifier body 1 and the fixture 2. It is. And the pacifier main body 1 and the fixture 2 are comprised as a relationship which each adsorb | sucks with a magnet. There are a plurality of modes of attraction by a magnet, and the pacifier body 1 is provided with a magnet, and the fixture 2 is at least partially magnetic, or the fixture 2 is provided with a magnet and a portion of the pacifier body 1 is provided. There are three modes: a magnetic body or a magnet provided on both sides. In the present invention, any of these aspects is adopted. Needless to say, if both are made of a magnetic material, adsorption by a magnet cannot be expected, so this combination is excluded.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the pacifier body 1 is composed of a nipple 4, a substrate portion 5 on which the nipple 4 is erected, and a decorative ring 6 provided annularly around the nipple 4 and the substrate portion 5. The basic configuration is not much different from a known pacifier. Reference numeral 7 denotes a magnet embedded in the substrate unit 5. It is preferable to embed the magnet 7 by using the material of the substrate part 5 as a synthetic resin in order to avoid accidental ingestion, but it does not exclude sticking to the surface without embedding. The magnet may be a rubber magnet and may be attached to any surface of the substrate unit 5.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 3, the fixture 2 is urged in a closing direction with respect to the flat plate portion 8 with the flat plate portion 8, a support portion 9 that supports the flat plate portion 8, and the support portion 9 as a base point. It consists of a clip 10. The flat plate portion 8 is a material made of a magnetic material, and is configured such that a magnet 7 provided on the pacifier body 1 is attracted. Note that the specific configuration of the clip 10 is not limited to the configuration in which the flat plate portion 8 functions as a part of the clip as in this embodiment, and a separately configured clip can be bonded to the flat plate portion 8. It is also possible to adopt a mode in which the spring is not urged by a spring but is sandwiched. Further, it is not necessary for the flat plate portion 8 to be entirely magnetic, and if the magnet 7 provided in the pacifier body 1 exhibits a function of adsorbing, a plate or bar made of a magnetic material is made of a synthetic resin. It is also possible to embed in a flat plate.

  In the above embodiment, the magnet is provided on the pacifier body 1 side and the magnetic body is provided on the fixture 2 side. However, even when the magnetic body is provided on the pacifier body 1 side and the magnet is provided on the fixture 2 side, the present invention is applied. The basic functions of can be demonstrated. Furthermore, it is also possible to provide a magnet for both. However, when both are magnets, both have polarity, so the suction direction and the suction position are limited.

  In the present embodiment, the connecting portion 3 has a configuration in which an arbitrary number of removable rings 11.. 11 are connected to form a chain, and a part thereof is replaced with an ornament 12 having an arbitrary design. However, the configuration is not limited to the embodiment. A necessary configuration is to connect the pacifier body 1 and the fixture 2 while maintaining a distance, and other configurations may be used as long as this can be achieved. The overall length of the connecting portion 3 is not particularly limited, but if it is too long, there is a risk that the pacifier body 1 will reach the floor if the magnet is released, while if it is too short, the infant shakes his head Since there is a possibility that the pacifier body 1 or the fixture 2 may be easily detached, it is determined in consideration of these.

  Next, the use of the pacifier of the present invention will be described. The fixture 2 is secured to a part of the infant's clothes and apron with a clip 10 and the opposite pacifier body 1 is provided to the infant according to normal usage. For example, the chest and the front shoulder are suitable for fixing the fixture 2 to clothes or the like. When it is determined that the mother is tired of the pacifier, the pacifier body is removed from the infant's mouth, and the pacifier body 1 is fixed to the fixture 2 by adsorption of a magnet provided on the base plate portion 5 or the flat plate portion 8 of the fixture 2. Secure to. Depending on the infant's age and learning, the pacifier body 1 may be fixed to the fixture 2 by itself. If the infant wishes to pacify again, the pacifier body 1 can be easily removed from the fixture 2, so that the pacifier can be given cleanly.
