Abstract

PURPOSE: To enable a carer to notice a change in a body temperature of a baby by sealing and filling distilled water or the other proper optional liquid, and transmitting heat from a mouth of the baby to a special indicator through the liquid in a nipple (a pacifier) having a clinical thermometer. CONSTITUTION: An excellent heat transmissive liquid 12 is filled in a sealed space formed of a base 1, a main case 2, a transparent cover 4 and a thermosensitive plate 5, and heat is transmitted to the liquid 12 in a nipple 11 through the nipple 11 of the base 1 from a mouth of a baby. When the nipple 11 is pressed by being sucked by a mouth of the baby, since the liquid 12 in the nipple 11 flows in the sealed space by passing through a liquid guide opening part 32, the heat in the liquid is transmitted to a thermosensitive plate 5 existing on the inside of the transparent cover 4, and a temperature of the liquid is displayed on one of a heat reactive area. When a heat transmission temperature reaches a prescribed warning temperature, a signal from a thermosensitive resistor 62 is transmitted to a warning buzzer 7 through an IC base board 6, and a sound is produced through a sound passing opening part 81 of a projecting cover 8.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a nipple assembly, and more particularly to a nipple assembly (wetting) with an alarm buzzer and a thermometer. Inside this nipple assembly, there is a heat-sensitive plate (temperature-sensitive plate) attached to the rear end of the main case of the nipple assembly to transfer heat from the baby's mouth to the rear end of the main case of the nipple assembly.
Contains a liquid with good heat transfer properties (for example, clean distilled water). The heat-sensitive plate is provided with a plurality of heat-responsive areas that respond to the heat of the liquid and display the baby's body temperature. Attached to the flange of the inner case is an IC board connected to a heat sensitive resistor immersed in liquid. This IC board is also connected to a buzzer outside the transparent cover. When body temperature exceeds a predetermined upper limit, a heat-sensitive resistor causes a buzzer to sound an alarm. Therefore, by monitoring the baby's temperature while sucking on the nipple of the nipple assembly according to the present invention, the baby can
You can protect yourself from high fever (which can lead to other symptoms and consequences you will regret for the rest of your life).

Small families are the main unit in modern society, and in these situations babies are usually cared for by young, busy, and inexperienced parents, or by daycare workers. Sometimes. In such situations, parents or other people caring for the baby may not be aware of the baby's body temperature. Especially in daycare centers, it is not possible to keep a thermometer in the mouth of every baby at all times, so it is difficult for the person caring for the baby to know which baby has a high body temperature. This problem, which is common in modern society, is fraught with potential risks to the baby's health and life.

The main object of the invention is therefore a nipple (pacifier) equipped with a temperature needle, which the baby can suck on daily, which is sealed and filled with clean distilled water or any other suitable liquid. To provide a nipple configured so that heat from the baby's mouth is transferred via the liquid to a special indicator, so that the baby's parents or the baby's caregiver are clearly aware of changes in the baby's body temperature. It is in.

Another object of the present invention is a teat assembly with an alarm buzzer, the heat sensitive resistor being connected to the alarm buzzer through an IC, the temperature of the liquid in the teat assembly being alarmed. To provide a nipple assembly configured such that a buzzer is activated to emit an alarm sound when a point is reached.
