Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to an improvement of an open sounding nipple in which a flute attached to the opening is made to produce sound by pressing the spherical ampullae continuous with the milk bean with a fingertip.

This type of sounding nipple not only produces complete sound when the spherical ampullae is pressed with a fingertip, but also must be constructed so that the flute piece does not come off from the nipple body.

In other words, when the flute piece is removed from the nipple body, the flute piece is just the right size to get caught in the infant's throat when swallowed during the day, and if the infant swallows it and gets it caught in the throat, it will not be able to breathe. There is a danger that this may cause difficulties and even death.

Therefore, as shown in Fig. 4, the present inventor first developed a seedling holder, which was molded from synthetic resin and had upper and lower flanges formed around it, and a through hole for attaching a flute to the shaft, and the seedling holder. a flute cover that forms a circumferential edge surrounding the upper and lower flanges of the seedling holder and has a through hole communicating with the through hole in the bottom surface, and after storing the flute in the through hole of the seedling holder Insert the opening swollen edge of the nipple body from above between the upper and lower flanges, and then forcibly fit the whistle cover integrally from below to form a whistle piece,
A sounding nipple was devised in which the flute piece holds the nipple body and is integrally connected.

This sounding nipple cannot be removed even if the flute piece is forcibly pulled from the nipple body, but since there is a gap between the upper flange of the seedling holder and the upper edge of the circumferential edge of the flute cover, the infant inserts his/her teeth into this space and bites hard. I discovered that there is a concern that sometimes the cap body may come off and dissociate from the seedling holder.

The present invention has been made in view of this point, and to explain the details with reference to the drawings, as shown in Figs. A circumferential groove 6 is formed on the outer circumferential surface by the upper and lower flanges 4 and 5, and the upper flange 4 has an arcuate bulging edge 7 at the end surface, and the lower flange 5 has an outer circumferential surface 8 halfway inward. An annular ridge 10 with a tapered surface, a vertical surface below, and an end below the lower surface 9
The seedling holder A further includes an annular groove 11 formed on the lower surface 9 along the inner surface of the annular protrusion 10, and a recess 13 in the bottom surface 12 for accommodating the collar 1 portion of the whistle 2. Flute 2 in the center
A through hole 14 communicating with the intake/exhaust port of the side wall 1 is formed.
The inner peripheral surface of the seedling holder A has a lower inner peripheral surface 19 with a tapered surface that follows the outer peripheral surface 8 of the seedling holder A, and an upper inner peripheral surface 20 with a thick wall that fits into the circumferential groove 6 of the seedling holder A. A stepped portion is formed between the upper inner circumferential surface and the lower inner circumferential surface, and the wall thickness of the side wall 15 of the flute cover B is thicker above the stepped portion and thinner below the stepped portion.
An annular ridge 16 that fits into the annular groove 11 of the seedling holder A, and a side wall 15 and annular ridge 16 that the annular ridge 10 of the seedling holder A fits into.
The length of the side wall 15 is formed higher than the lower surface of the upper flange 4 of the seedling holder A, and the distance from the step to the bottom of the annular groove 17 is greater than the lower flange. 5 and the distance from the upper end of the annular flange 16 to the bottom of the annular groove 17, and from the upper edge of the lower flange 5 to the lower end of the annular flange 10. It consists of a whistle cover B formed larger than the distance.

When the two are combined, the annular ridge 10 of the seedling holder A becomes the side wall 1.
5 and the annular protruding edge 16, and the annular protruding edge 16 fits into the annular groove 1 of the flute holder A.

In addition, the upper inner circumferential surface 20 of the flute cover B holds the opening bulging portion 21 of the teat body C fitted in the hollow portion 22 formed in the circumferential groove 6 of the seedling holder A, and furthermore, the upper flange 4 The end and the upper edge of the side wall 15 hold the base of the opening bulge 21 of the nipple body C in a pinching manner.

24 is a seat plate and a fixing piece (not shown) housed inside the nipple body.
is firmly fixed.

The combination of the teat body and the whistle piece is made by inserting the tip of the seedling holder A into the opening of the teat body C, holding the opening bulge 21 in the circumferential groove 6, and then attaching the whistle to the seedling holder A. The cover B is forcibly fitted to form the state shown in FIG. 2.

Since the present invention is constructed as described above, even if a child tries to insert his or her teeth between the upper flange 4 and the upper end of the side peripheral wall 15 of the whistle cover B, the upper end edge of the side peripheral wall 15 will not fit under the upper flange 4. Since it is formed deeper than the edge, this will not be inhibited and the seedling holder A and whistle cover B will not dissociate.

Moreover, even if force is applied through the gap 23 between the upper flange 4 and the circumferential wall 15 in order to separate them once they are assembled, the annular shape of the seedling holder A on the opposite side to which the force was applied is Since the inner edge of the ridge 10 is supported by the outer edge of the annular ridge 16 of the whistle cover B, it cannot be separated.

In the present invention, once assembled as described above, the whistle support and the whistle cover cannot be separated even if an external force is applied, and therefore, of course, the opening bulge of the nipple body held between them will not come off. Therefore, it has the effect of being extremely safe to use.
