Description

  The present invention relates to a container for storing a pacifier having a nipple and a pacifier shield, wherein the pacifier is attached to a pacifier strap with a fixing clip.

  Various containers are known for storing the pacifier when not in use, in order to keep the nipple of the pacifier fastened, for example, to children's clothing via a pacifier strap with a fastening clip.

  For example, DE-A-197 02 455 discloses a container with two protective covers, which can be swiveled close to one another and can be closed automatically by a spring.

  From U.S. Pat. No. 5,948,003 a pacifier mounted on a pacifier strap is already known, in which a securing clip is used to cover the nipple when not in use. In this case, there is a disadvantage that the attachment of the pacifier and the protection from dirt cannot be performed simultaneously in a non-use state. In addition, contaminants and dirt particles are transferred to the nipple from the side previously pinched by the securing clip when accommodating the nipple in the securing clip.

Furthermore, from U.S. Pat. No. 5,156,617, a pacifier box consisting of a bottom plate and a cover unit which are pivotally interconnected is already known. A fixing clip is provided on the back of the bottom plate, so that the pacifier box can be fixed to the children's clothes. Further, one end of the pacifier strap is attached to the bottom plate, and a pacifier is provided at the other end of the pacifier strap. However, there is a drawback that the pacifier box fixed directly to the child's clothes is an obstacle for the child, and that the opening and closing of the pacifier box fixed directly to the child's body is very inconvenient. I do. In addition, the pacifier box found in the aforementioned U.S. Pat. No. 5,156,617 is relatively large and difficult to handle.

  It is therefore an object of the invention to provide a container for storing pacifiers of the type mentioned at the outset, which is easy to handle.

  In particular, to provide a structure that is easily manufacturable, relatively small and can be stored out of the way of children, so that the pacifier can be accommodated in a simple form and likewise can be easily removed again It is desirable to do.

  According to the device of the present invention to solve this problem, the container is fixable or fixed to the pacifier strap between the fixing clip and the pacifier.

  With the configuration according to the present invention, when the container is attached to the pacifier strap between the pacifier and the fixing clip, the container does not come into direct contact with the child's body. It can be accommodated in a container very easily and can be removed again from the container. Furthermore, the pacifier, especially the nipple, does not come into contact with the contaminants while being contained in the container, since the container is not simultaneously used as a fixing means.

  To attach the container to the container strap in a simple manner, the container is advantageously provided with at least one, preferably two, brackets for guiding through the pacifier strap. Thus, the container can be connected to the pacifier strap in a very simple manner and can be attached to the pacifier strap in various positions.

  The container has a nipple receiving space, which has a through-opening leading to the outside, in which case in the retracted state the nipple is stored in the container and the pacifier shield is arranged outside the container. The result is a relatively small and easy-to-handle pacifier container, which ensures that the nipple is protected from contaminants when not in use.

  Advantageously, with regard to the simple construction of the container, pivotally interconnected, substantially identical container halves are provided. Furthermore, the two pivotally interconnected container halves can be opened and closed in a simple manner, providing a storage device that is comfortable for the user.

  The two container halves, when viewed from above, have a substantially rectangular cross-section extending parallel to the container dividing plane, and a pivot axis interconnecting the two container halves is provided on a short side of the rectangle. If so, the container is formed in a longitudinal cross-section and in a rectangular shape substantially corresponding to the elongated shape of the nipple, thus forming a small enclosure surrounding the nipple which is relatively tight.

  A pacifier shield is arranged outside the container to open and close the container without problems and to smoothly guide the nipple toward the outside of the container even in the closed state, and advantageously the through-opening pivots in the closed state Opposite the axis, the size of this through-opening substantially corresponds to the cross-section of the nipple where the nipple starts from the pacifier shield.

  In order to ensure the pacifier in the container as reliably as possible, and to prevent the pacifier from accidentally falling out of the container, at least one web is advantageously provided inside at least one container half, The web extends substantially parallel to the short side of the container half and at least partially nips the nipple when the nipple is received.

  Both container halves are each provided with at least one web, which webs run parallel to one another and the edges of the web are spaced apart from one another in the closed state of the container. The pacifier is particularly securely stored in the container without damaging the nipple when the container is closed.

  To facilitate opening of the container, advantageously two grip projections are provided on the container adjacent the pivot axis, these grip projections extending substantially parallel to the pivot axis. And forms an acute angle with the dividing plane of the container, preferably between 30 ° and 50 °. Thus, by pressing the two grip projections closer together, the container can be easily opened and the pacifier can be removed from the container.

  At least one container half provided with at least one latch web, which extends beyond the dividing plane and engages the outside of another container half with the container closed, Can be prevented from unexpected opening.

  For simple and economical production, the entire container is preferably made of an integral plastics material, particularly preferably polypropylene.

  Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail using the illustrated embodiment.

  1 and 2 show a container 1 for storing a pacifier 2 provided with a nipple 3 and a pacifier shield 4. FIG. A clip 5 is provided for fixing the pacifier 2 to a child's clothes, a stroller, or the like, and the clip 5 is connected to the pacifier 2 via a pacifier strap 6. In order to prevent the nipple 3 from coming into inadvertent contact with the surroundings when not in use, for example, when the child bends, that is, in order to prevent the pacifier 2 from becoming dirty when not in use, the container 1 for storing the pacifier 2 is provided. It is attached to the pacifier strap 6.

  As can be seen in particular from FIGS. 3 and 4, since the container 1 is relatively small and easy to use, only the nipple 3 is located inside the container 1 in the stowed state, so that the nipple is protected Is protected. On the other hand, the pacifier shield 4 is located outside the substantially rectangular parallelepiped container 1 when the pacifier 2 is stored.

  For simple opening and closing of the container 1, this container 1 is divided into two container halves 1 ', which are pivotally interconnected via a web 7 which forms a pivot axis. ing. A substantially semicircular recess 8 is provided in each container half 1 ′ on the side surface of the rectangular parallelepiped container 1 on the side opposite to the turning shaft 7, and by each recess, as shown in FIG. A through-opening 9 is formed in the closed position of the container, the size of the through-opening 9 substantially corresponding to the cross section of the nipple 3 starting from the pacifier shield 4.
