Description

Baby Pacifier {BABY PACIFIER}

The present invention relates to a baby nipple having a nipple portion, and more particularly to a baby nipple that can easily clean the inside of the nipple portion.

The present invention relates to a nipple for a baby having a nipple portion and a handle, and more particularly to a nipple for a baby which is easy to grasp a handle and can inhibit the handle from deeply entering the mouth when the handle is held in the mouth .

The present invention also relates to a baby nipple having a nipple portion and a rotatable handle, and more particularly, to a baby nipple capable of restraining the handle from contacting the user's face while the user is holding the nipple portion in the mouth .

The present invention also relates to a nipple for a baby having a nipple portion and a rotatable handle, and more particularly to a nipple for a baby which is hardly disturbed in rotation of the handle during handling.

BACKGROUND ART [0002] As a nursery apparatus to be used by babies in their mouths, a baby nipple is known. For example, as disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2001-276185, a baby nipple has a nipple portion formed by imitating mother's nipple and a base portion for holding the nipple portion. The nipple portion is formed in a hollow shape so as to be elastically deformed when the baby's mouth is bitten. The hollow interior of the nipple portion communicates with the outside through a vent hole (reference numeral 16 in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2001-276185) formed in the base portion. The ventilation hole is formed to have a small diameter in order to prevent the infiltration of liquid into the nipple portion and the inflow of foreign matter.

Normally, the baby nipple further includes a plate-shaped flange portion extending and protruded outward from the base portion, and a handle (grip portion) held in the base portion. The flange portion is provided to prevent infants who swallow the nipple portion from swallowing the whole of the baby nipple. The handle is provided to hold the baby nipple securely.

The handle is usually disposed on the opposite side of the nipple portion with the flange portion therebetween. It is preferable that the handle is made to be easily grasped when the baby swallows the baby nipple over the flange portion from the nipple side. This is to ensure that baby nipples swallowed in the infant's mouth can be quickly and reliably removed. Typically, the handle is designed to protrude to an arbitrary length from the base portion and to be rotatable with respect to the base portion.

However, these conventional baby nipples have some disadvantages.

First, the first problem is that the inside of the nipple portion can not be kept clean. As described above, the ventilation hole communicating with the inside of the nipple portion is formed to have a small diameter in order to prevent the inflow of liquid, foreign matter or the like. However, even if the size of the ventilation hole is made small, it is impossible to completely prevent entry of dust, liquid, etc. into the nipple portion. Conventionally, dust, liquid or the like that has entered the nipple portion is removed from the inside of the nipple portion by rubbing. However, this method requires troublesome and time-consuming operations, and can not completely remove dust, liquids, etc. from the inside of the nipple portion. The baby nipple used in the infant's mouth needs to be kept clean. In addition, the dust or liquid remaining in the nipple portion overheats the anxiety of the protector protecting the infant.

Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2003-210554 discloses a baby nipple in which the nipple portion can be separated by other components. In this baby nipple, the nipple portion separated by other components can be easily and carefully cleaned. However, in this detachable baby nipple, there is another problem that the infant may be mistakenly swallowed of a separated part (so-called small part). This problem is a serious problem that should be avoided in common with all children's apparatuses.

A second problem with the conventional baby nipple is that when the infant is accidentally inserted into the mouth of the baby nipple from the side of the handle, the handle protruding largely from the base portion is deeply inserted into the baby's mouth. As described above, when the baby nipple is swallowed over the flange portion, it is preferable that the handle protrudes largely from the base portion. So that it is easy to grasp the handle, thereby allowing the baby nipple to be quickly and surely taken out from the mouth. On the other hand, when the handle protrudes largely from the base portion, there is a possibility that the handle pierces the throat when the baby nipple is inserted into the mouth from the handle side. In other words, it is a problem that both the handle is easy to grasp and the handle is hard to get into the mouth when the handle is held in the mouth.

A third problem with the conventional baby nipple is that the rotatable handle can be brought into contact with the baby's face when the nipple portion engages the baby's mouth. As shown in Fig. 3 of Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2001-276185, in a normal use state, a handle (reference numeral 23 in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2001-276185) is shielded from a face of a baby by a flange portion Position. As shown in the drawings, a flange portion is not provided on the head side of the infant when it is assumed that the baby's nipple is hooked to the infant in the circumference of the base portion. Even if the flange portion is provided, The amount of protrusion from the base portion is very small. If the flange portion largely protrudes to the head side of the infant, the flange portion comes into contact with the nose of the infant. On the other hand, during use of the baby nipple, the handle may unintentionally rotate with respect to the base portion, and the handle may extend beyond the flange portion in the direction toward the head side of the infant. In this case, the handle may come into contact with the face of the infant, for example, the nose, so that the infant may be injured.

A fourth problem is that the rotation of the handle is restricted by the string-like member attached to the handle. There are many cases where a baby nipple holder, which is used to prevent a string member, for example, a baby nipple from dropping to the ground or loss of a baby nipple, is attached to a rotatable handle. Further, the string-like member is easy to slide on, for example, a U-shaped handle. Therefore, the string-like member may be moved to the U-shaped end portion of the handle rotatably held on the base portion, so that the string-like member is frequently caught between the end portion of the handle and the base portion. In this case, there is a possibility that the string-like member restricts the rotation of the handle, or the handle may be pressed or pivoted unintentionally.

First, the nipple portion 20 will be described. The nipple portion 20 is formed of a nipple member 25 having a hollow shape. 6 and 7, the artificial nipple member 25 includes a nipple portion 20 formed in a hollow shape and a skirt portion 26 continuous to the nipple portion 20. As shown in Fig. The skirt portion 26 widens toward the end and finally opens. (Accessible) from the outside through the skirt portion 26 to the hollow interior of the nipple portion 20. In addition, the artificial nipple member 25 may be formed of a material that is susceptible to elastic deformation. For example, a transparent silicone rubber is used as the material of the nipple member 25.

Next, the base portion 30 will be described. 6 and 7, the base portion 30 is formed in a substantially plate shape by a first base material 31 and a second base material 32 joined to the first base material 31. In addition, a part of the first base material 31 also constitutes the flange portion 60. As shown in Figs. 6 and 7, the first base material 31 is annularly abutted to the skirt portion 26 of the nipple member 25 from the outside. On the other hand, the second base material 32 is annularly abutted against the skirt portion 26 of the nipple member 25 from the inside. The skirt portion 26 of the artificial nipple member 25 is supported between the first base material 31 and the second base material 32. Thus, the base portion 30 holds the nipple portion 20 by causing the nipple portion 20 to protrude from one side.

6 and 7, the portion 33 of the second base material 32 that enters the skirt portion 26 is formed in a tubular shape. The tubular portion 33 extends along the longitudinal direction of the nipple portion 20 (corresponding to the projecting direction La). One end of the tubular portion 33 opens into the hollow interior of the nipple portion 20 and the other end of the tubular portion 33 opens outward. An opening 35 is formed on the other side of the base portion 30 so as to face the hollow inside of the nipple portion 20 along the projecting direction La of the nipple portion 20. [ This opening 35 leads to the hollow interior of the nipple 20. In other words, the inside of the nipple portion 20 communicates with the outside through the opening 35. [

Next, the lid 40 will be described. 6 and 7, the lid 40 includes a lid portion 41 formed in a substantially plate shape extending in parallel with the base portion 30, a shaft portion 44 formed integrally with the lid portion 41 ). 6, the shaft portion 44 of the lid 40 is rotatably (rotatably) held by the first base material 31 and the second base material 32. As shown in Fig. The pivot axis Lb of the lid 40 is substantially parallel to the projecting direction La of the nipple portion 20 as shown in Fig. 6, the diameter of the shaft portion 44 is thick at the tip, so that the shaft portion 44 is separated from the gap between the first base material 31 and the second base material 32, And is prevented from falling off from the base portion 30. 1, the lid part 41 is pivotally moved from the other side along the projecting direction La of the nipple part 20 to the base part 30) and a position shifted from the base portion 30 in a direction orthogonal to the pivotal axis Lb as shown in Fig. 2, for example. 1) for closing the opening 35 of the base portion 30 and an open position for opening the opening 35 of the base portion 30 (for example, (See Fig. 2).

As shown in Figs. 3 to 5, the lid 40 further includes regulating protrusions 45 projecting sideways from the lid portion 41. As shown in Fig. The restricting projection 45 extends from the side of the lid part 41 toward the base part 30 side. More specifically, as shown in Fig. 5, the restricting projection 45 extends from the side of the lid part 41 to the side of the second base material 32 forming the base part 30, And extend to the side of the first base material 31 that is formed. 3, the rotation of the lid 40 from the closed position is restricted by the restricting projection 45 (see FIG. 3) Is in the forward rotation direction Da.

A convex portion is provided on one of the base portion 30 and the lid 40 and a concave portion 42 is formed on the other of the base portion 30 and the lid 40 to be engageable with the convex portion 36 have. The protruding direction La of the nipple portion 20 (in this embodiment, the rotational axis Lb of the lid 40) is formed on the portion of the base member 30 that is the second member 32, (See Fig. 2). The protruding portion 36 protrudes to the other side along the longitudinal direction (i.e. The lid portion 41 of the lid 40 is formed with a recess 42 capable of accommodating the convex portion 36 therein. As shown in Fig. 6, when the lid 40 is located at the closed position, the convex portion 36 and the concave portion 42 are arranged at the positions facing each other. At this time, the convex portion 36 enters the concave portion 42, and the lid 40 is caught with respect to the base portion 30.

Next, the flange portion (shield portion) 60 will be described. As described above, the flange portion 60 extends outwardly from the base portion 30. In the present embodiment, the flange portion 60 is formed integrally with a portion of the base portion 30 which is formed of the first portion 31. The flange portion 60 is provided to prevent the user from swallowing the baby's nipple 10 deep inside the throat. Two through holes 61 are formed in the flange portion 60. Even if the user has swallowed the baby's nipple 10 to the position of the flange portion 60, it is possible to breathe through the hole 61. [

As shown in Figs. 1 and 3, the flange portion 60 does not protrude over the base portion 30. When the nipple portion 20 of the nipple 10 is held in the mouth of the user, the upper portion of the base portion 30 faces the user's nose. Therefore, in order to prevent the flange portion 60 projecting upward from the base portion 30 from stabbing the user's nose or from hindering the breathing of the user's nose, the flange portion 60 But does not protrude over the base portion 30.

3 to 5, the flange portion 60 is provided on the other side of the nipple portion 20 in the direction opposite to the side where the nipple portion 20 is held, that is, in the projecting direction La of the nipple portion 20, 62, 63, which are locally swollen and projected toward the outer surface of the base plate. In the illustrated example, the flange portion 60 has three expansion protrusions of a downward expansion protrusion 63 and a pair of upward expansion protrusions 62, 62. 3, when the baby's nipple 10 is observed on the side opposite to the side where the nipple portion 20 is held, in other words, on the other side along the projecting direction La of the nipple portion 20 When the baby's nipple 10 is observed toward the one side, a pair of upwardly projecting projections 62, 62 are arranged above the imaginary straight line extending on the rotation axis Lc of the handle 50 . When the baby's nipple 10 is observed on the side opposite to the side where the nipple portion 20 is held, the lower portion of the baby's nipple 10 below the hypothetical straight line extending on the rotation axis Lc of the handle 50, (63) are disposed. Further, the pair of upwardly projecting projections 62 and 62 are arranged symmetrically with respect to the center line in the transverse direction.

Next, the handle 50 will be described. As shown in Figs. 8 and 9, the handle 50 has a substantially U-shaped main body portion 51 and a shaft portion 56 extending inwardly from both ends of the U-shaped portion. The main body portion 51 is formed by bending an elongated plate-shaped material having a substantially rectangular shape around an axis parallel to the plate surface. 8 is a front view showing the handle 50 in a state where it is not assembled to the baby's nipple, and Fig. 9 is a sectional view taken along the line IX-IX in Fig.

7, the shaft portion 56 of the handle 50 is disposed in a space formed between the first base material 31 and the second base material 32, and the first base material 31 and the second base material 32 (Rotatable) by a base portion 30 made of a metal plate. 7 and 8, the pair of shaft portions 56 are positioned such that their respective axial centers are aligned on the same straight line, and the handle 50 is arranged so that the axial center of the shaft portion 56 is located at the rotational center axis Lc, (Swingable) with respect to the base 30 as shown in Fig. 3 to 5, the pivotal axis Lc of the handle 50 extends in the lateral direction, and the protruding direction La of the nipple portion 20 and the pivotal axis Lb of the lid 40 And is approximately orthogonal. The handle 50 is disposed on the side opposite to the nipple portion 20 with the flange portion 60 interposed therebetween as described above. 5, the handle 50 is pivoted so as to protrude from the side opposite to the side holding the nipple portion 20, that is, to the other side along the projecting direction La of the nipple portion 20 do.

1, 3, and 4, the lid 40 disposed at the closed position is disposed in the main body portion 51 of the handle 50 in the direction along the rotation axis Lc of the handle 50 As shown in Fig. 4 and 5, the shaft portion 56 of the handle 50 is provided with the regulating protrusion 45 of the lid 40 located at the closed position along the projecting direction La of the nipple portion 20 And is held by the base portion 30. [0052] As shown in Fig. The main body portion 51 of the handle 50 passes through a position adjacent to the regulating protrusion 45 of the lid 40 when the handle 50 is rotated with respect to the base portion 30. [

8, the shaft portion 56 of the handle 50 includes a distal end portion 57 whose diameter is thicker than the other portion of the shaft portion 56. As shown in Fig. 7, the distal end portion 57 interferes with the first base material 31 and the second base material 32 so that the shaft portion 56 of the handle 50 is disengaged from the base portion 30 and the handle 50 Is prevented from falling out of the base portion 30. [ 9 to 12, the shaft portion 56 of the handle 50 is provided with a protruding portion 58 projecting from the outer circumferential surface of the distal end portion 57. As shown in Fig.

10 to 12, when the handle 50 is rotated about the pivotal axis Lc with respect to the base 30, the projecting portion 58 protrudes from the base portion 30 in an arbitrary region, Lt; / RTI > Then, the projecting portion 58 functions as a cam, and presses and elastically deforms a portion of the base portion 30 functioning as a cam follower. With this configuration, when the handle 50 is positioned within the pressing area A3 where the projection 58 abuts against the base 30, the handle 50 is positioned outside the pressing area A3, Toward the first region (A1) and the second region (A2) located adjacent to the outside of both sides of the first region (A1) and the second region (A2). 11, a dead point boundary line Ld is formed in the pressing region A3 and the longitudinal direction line Le of the handle 50 extending and projecting from the pivotal axis Lc is formed as shown in Fig. Is located on the first area A1 side with respect to the dead point boundary line Ld in the pressing area A3, the handle 50 is pushed toward the first area A1 side. On the other hand, when the longitudinal line Le of the handle 50 is located on the second area A2 side of the dead zone boundary Ld in the pressing area A3, the handle 50 is moved toward the second area A2 side And is pushed to rotate.

In the illustrated example, when the handle 50 is located in the pressing region A3, the projecting portions 58 provided at both ends of the handle 50 are pressed against the pressing portion 38 of the base portion 30, (38). The pressing portion 38 may be configured as a cantilever, for example. By adopting such a configuration, the rotation of the handle 50 with respect to the base portion 30 can be smoothly performed. The pressing force of the handle 50 can be stably generated by engaging the projecting portion 58 of the handle 50 with the pressing portion 38 of the base portion 30. [

As described above, the handle 50 is rotated with respect to the base portion 30 so as to be movable in the first region A1, the pressing region A3, and the second region A2. The handle 50 is disposed on the side opposite to the nipple portion 20 with the flange portion 60 interposed therebetween. The handle 50 is provided within the range defined by the interference with the flange portion (shielding portion) 60, specifically, in the direction of the nipple portion 20 on the side opposite to the side where the nipple portion 20 is held It is possible to rotate within a range of 180 deg. Centered on the projecting direction La. The first area A1 constituting the rotatable range is a position in which the handle 50 is pressed against the base 30 by gravity when the nipple 20 of the baby's nipple 10 is bitten by the user's mouth (See Fig. 10) in which the longitudinal direction Le of the handle 50 is extended and projected downward from the pivotal axis Lc. On the other hand, when it is assumed that the nipple portion 20 of the baby's nipple 10 is hooked to the mouth of the user, the second region A2 is provided with the handle 50 in the direction toward the user's head, That is, the position where the longitudinal direction Le of the handle 50 is extended and projected upward from the pivotal axis Lc (see Fig. 12).

9 and 12, the protruding portion 58 provided at the end of the handle 50 is located in the second region A2 when the handle 50 is located in the second region A2, And an engaging surface 59 that can be in surface contact with the engaging portion 38. Therefore, as shown in Figs. 5 and 11, the movable range of the handle 50 as the second area A2 is in a narrow range. The protruding portion 58 of the handle 50 and the pressing portion 38 of the base portion 30 are in surface contact with each other so that the nipple 10 can be held in a state of being held by the nipple 10 The handle 50 can be stably positioned with respect to the base portion 30 regardless of whether the portion is located above the vertical portion.

3 and 5, the pivotal axis Lc of the handle 50 is located at the center of the pivotal axis Lb of the lid 40 and the restricting projection 45 of the lid 40 in the closed position, (The projecting direction La of the nipple portion 20). When the main body portion 51 of the handle 50 is extended and projected to the other side along the pivotal axis Lb (the projecting direction La of the nipple portion 20) of the lid 40, One end portion of the main body portion 51 of the cover 40 is disposed at a position adjacent to the regulating protrusion 45 of the cover 40 disposed at the close position. When the longitudinal line Le of the handle 50 extends from the pivotal axis Lc of the handle 50 to the other side along the projecting direction La of the nipple portion 20, The regulating protrusion 45 is prevented from moving forward from the closed position to the open position by the interference of the regulating protrusion 45 of the cover 50 and the main body portion 51 of the handle 50. [

Further, in the illustrated example, even when the longitudinal direction line Le of the handle 50 extends and projects downward along the substantially vertical direction, the movement of the lid 40 from the closed position to the open position is restricted have. Specifically, as shown in Figs. 4 and 5, when the longitudinal direction line Le of the handle 50 extends downward along the substantially vertical direction, the body portion 51 of the handle 50 The other end of the handle 50 is pushed toward the other side along the pivot axis Lb of the lid 40 (the projecting direction La of the nipple 20) with respect to the pivotal axis Lc of the handle 50, And is connected to the shaft portion 56. That is, when the longitudinal direction line Le of the handle 50 protrudes downward along the substantially vertical direction, the body portion 51 of the handle 50 along the rotation axis Lb of the lid 40 The center position is located at the other side (the lower side of the paper in Fig. 4 and the right side of the paper in Fig. 5) along the pivot axis Lb of the lid 40 than the pivot axis Lc of the handle 50, . When the longitudinal direction line Le of the handle 50 is extended and extended downward along the substantially vertical direction, the main body portion 51 of the handle 50 is in contact with the cover portion 56 of the handle 50 40 to the other side along the rotation axis Lb thereof. The main body portion 51 of the handle 50 protruding downward from the pivotal axis Lc is moved along the pivotal direction of the lid 40 by the restricting projection 45 of the lid 40 disposed at the closed position ), That is, in the vicinity of the center. In this way, even when the longitudinal line Le of the handle 50 is extended downward along the substantially vertical direction, movement of the lid 40 from the closed position to the open position is regulated.

As a result, when the handle 50 is located in the first area A1, at least a portion of the handle 50 is always in the closed position along the sliding direction of the lid 40 relative to the base 30 (Regulating protrusion 45) of the disposed lid 40, and more specifically, in a substantially adjacent position. Therefore, when the handle 50 is located in the first area A1, the cover 40 is restricted from moving from the closed position.

On the other hand, as described above, the second region A2 has a narrow range in which the handle 50 extends upwardly from the pivotal axis Lc. 2, when the longitudinal direction line Le of the handle 50 is extended upward substantially along the vertical direction as indicated by the chain double-dashed line in Fig. 5, The center position of the main body portion 51 of the handle 50 along the pivotal axis Lb is shifted from the pivotal axis Lc of the handle 50 along the pivotal axis Lb of the lid 40, The left side of the paper in Fig. 5). When the longitudinal direction line Le of the handle 50 extends upwardly in the upward and downward directions, the main body portion 51 of the handle 50 is covered by the cover portion 56 of the handle 50 40, and does not protrude toward the other side. As a result, when the handle 50 is located in the second area A2, the handle 50 does not interfere with the lid 40 moving from the closed position. That is, when the handle 50 is located in the second area A2, the movement of the cover 40 from the closed position is not regulated.

8, the main body portion 51 of the handle 50 is provided with a groove portion 53 at a position spaced apart from both end portions rotatably held by the base portion 30. As shown in Fig. The groove 53 is formed between the pair of protrusions 54 by a pair of protrusions 54 provided on the main body portion 51 of the handle 50. In this case, As shown in Fig. 8, a string-like member 70 may be attached to the groove 53. Fig. As the string-like member 70, for example, a baby nipple holder used for preventing dropping of the baby's nipple 10 to the ground or loss of the baby's nipple 10 can be mentioned.

The base portion 30, the lid 40, the handle 50 and the flange portion 60 may be made of resin, for example.

Next, the action of the baby's nipple 10 having the above-described configuration will be described.

As described above, usually, the baby nipple 10 is provided with a handle 50 which can protrude to the side opposite to the side where the nipple 20 is held. The handle 50 makes it possible to grasp the nipple 10 in a stable manner without holding the nipple portion 20 to be kept clean since it enters the mouth of the user. The handle 50 is disposed on the side opposite to the nipple 20 with the flange portion 60 therebetween. The handle 50 is required to be easily grasped when the user swallows the nipple 10 over the flange portion 60 from the nipple portion 20 side. The finger 50 is hooked on the handle 50 so that the baby's nipple 10 swallowed in the user's mouth can be quickly and reliably pulled out. For this reason, typically, the handle 50 is designed to protrude from the base portion 30 to an arbitrary length and to be rotatable with respect to the base portion 30. However, when the user swallowes the baby's nipple 10 from the side of the handle 50 by misuse, the handle 50 projecting largely from the base 30 enters the user's mouth deeply , Even throat throat.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, the flange portion 60 has three or more expansion projections 62, 62, 63 that are expanded and projected on the side opposite to the side where the nipple portion 20 is held . According to the baby nipple 10 of the present embodiment, when the baby nipple 10 is erroneously used by the user (infant or the like) to urge the baby nipple 10 from the handle 50 side, It is possible to define a face abutting the mouth of a user (infant, etc.) by the three or more expansion projections 62, 62, 63. The expansion projections 62, 62, and 63 expand and protrude to the side opposite to the side where the nipple portion is held, that is, to the side where the handle 50 protrudes. Therefore, it is possible to shorten the length of entry of the handle 50 into the user's mouth when the user mistakenly uses the nipple 10, thereby effectively restraining damage to the mouth by the baby's nipple 10.

At the same time, the projecting length of the handle 50 from the base portion 30 is maintained. When the baby nipple 10 is erroneously swallowed from the nipple portion 20 side beyond the flange portion 60 to the handle 50 having a sufficient protruding length, You can hang your finger easily. As a result, it is possible to quickly and reliably remove the baby's nipple 10 from the user's mouth at the time of such misuse.

In the baby nipple 10 according to the present embodiment, the entire thickness of the flange portion 60 is maintained. Therefore, the cost of the material used for the baby nipple 10 is not increased.

Particularly in this embodiment, when the baby's nipple 10 is observed on the side opposite to the side where the nipple portion 20 is held, a virtual straight line (not shown) extending on the rotation axis Lc of the handle 50 And at least one or more expansion projections 62 and 63 are disposed on both sides of the partition wall 62, respectively. According to such a baby nipple 10, the baby nipple 10 is erroneously used by the user with a small number of the expansion projections 62 and 63 to bite the baby nipple 10 from the side of the handle 50 It is possible to define a face to be brought into contact with the mouth of the user. As a result, the baby nipple 10 can be kept in a very simple configuration.

In addition, the baby nipple 10 is usually provided with a flange portion 60 extending outwardly from the base portion 30. However, when it is assumed that the nipple portion 20 of the baby nipple 10 is entangled to the user (infant or the like) in the circumference of the base portion 30, the flange portion 60 is provided on the side of the head of the user The projecting amount of the flange portion 60 from the base portion 30 is very small. If the flange portion 60 largely protrudes on the side of the user's head, the flange portion 60 comes into contact with the user's nose. When the handle 50 rotates with respect to the base 30 and the handle 50 is extended and protruded in the direction toward the user's head when the baby's nipple 10 is used, There is a possibility that the user's nose will not be concealed by the support portion 60 but may come into contact with the nose of the user,

On the other hand, according to the baby's nipple 10 according to the present embodiment, when the intended external force is not applied, the nipple 10 is moved from the first area A1 to the second area A2 or from the second area A2 The rotation of the handle 50 with respect to the base portion 30 is restricted beyond the pressing region A3 to the first region A1. Therefore, the handle 50 can be stably held in either the first area A1 or the second area A2. Therefore, at the time of using the baby's nipple 10, the pivotal range of the handle 50 can be narrowed to a specific region, and the handle 50 can be prevented from extending and projecting in the direction toward the user's head. This makes it possible to effectively prevent the handle 50 from coming into contact with the nose of the user when the baby's nipple 10 is used.

Particularly, according to the present embodiment, the first region A1 includes the position where the handle 50 is rotated by gravity against the base portion 30 when the baby's nipple 10 is bitten by the user The second region A2 includes a position where the handle 50 is extended and projected from the base portion 30 in the direction toward the head of the user when it is assumed that the baby's nipple 10 is hooked to the user . According to the baby's nipple 10, when the nipple portion 20 of the baby's nipple 10 is held in the mouth of the user, the handle 50 can be stably held in the first area A1 . This prevents the handle 50 from being extended from the first area A1 to the second area A2 so as to prevent the handle 50 from being extended or projected in a direction toward the user's head have.

Further, in this embodiment, the projecting portion 58 is provided on at least one side of the shaft portion 56 of the handle 50. When the handle 50 rotates with respect to the base 30 and reaches the pressing area A3 from the first area A1 or the second area A2, So that the handle 50 is pressed toward either the first area A1 or the second area A2. According to such a baby nipple 10, the pressurized area A3 including the dead spots can be formed by a simple structure. The first region A1 and the second region A2 are formed on both sides of the pressure region A3 formed.

Also, the nipple portion 20 of the baby nipple 10 is normally formed in a hollow shape. In the conventional baby nipple, the entered dust, liquid or the like can not be completely removed from the inside of the nipple part 20. [ The nipple portion 20 is a portion of the mouth of a user (such as an infant) which is nipped, and therefore needs to be kept clean. Further, the dust, liquid, and the like remaining in the nipple portion 20 excessively anxiety of the protector (for example, the parent of the infant) protecting the user (infant, etc.).

On the other hand, in the baby nipple 10 according to the present embodiment, the opening 35 is formed on the side opposite to the side where the nipple portion 20 of the base portion 30 is held. The opening 35 is disposed at a position facing the hollow interior of the nipple portion 20 and communicates with the hollow interior. According to such a baby-use nipple 10, by using the opening 35 as a cleaning opening for cleaning the inside of the nipple portion 20, it becomes possible to easily clean the inside of the nipple portion 20, The portion 20 can be kept clean. Particularly when the opening 35 faces the hollow interior of the nipple portion 20 along the direction La in which the nipple portion 20 protrudes from the base portion 30, It is possible to easily rub the dirt and the like adhering to the inside of the nipple part 20 by inserting the swab into the inside of the nipple part 20. [ This makes it possible to keep the baby's nipple 10 in a very clean state and is highly hygienic and at the same time safe for the caregiver of the user (infant, etc.) of the baby's nipple 10 (for example, You can give a sense.

2) for opening the opening 35 of the base portion 30 and an open position (see Fig. 2) for opening the opening 35 of the base portion 30. In this embodiment, And a lid 40 is provided on the base 30 so as to be able to move between them. According to such a baby nipple 10, by moving the lid 40 to the open position, the inside of the nipple portion 20 can be easily and carefully cleaned as described above. In addition, when the lid 40 is moved to the closed position other than the cleaning of the baby's nipple 10, it is possible to suppress the liquid, dust, etc. from being contained in the nipple portion 20.

It is also expected that this lid 40 will unintentionally move away from the closed position. In this case, there is a high possibility that liquid, dust, or the like will enter the nipple unit 20 through the opening 35. The lid 40 protrudes from the base 30 and the lid 40 protruding from the base 30 may come into contact with the user. There is even a fear that the lid 40 will be pierced by the user. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, when the handle 50 capable of moving in the first area A1 and the second area A2 is located in the first area A1, the lid 40 is moved to the closed position As shown in Fig. According to such a baby nipple 10, by disposing the handle 50 in the first area A1, it is possible to inadvertently prevent the lid 40 from moving from the closed position. That is, by disposing the handle 50 in the first area A1, the lid 40 can be left in the closed position. This can inadvertently prevent the cover 40 from rotating with respect to the base portion 30 and preventing the cover 40 from protruding from the base portion 30. [

In the present embodiment, when the handle 50 is located in the pressing area A3 between the first area A1 and the second area A2, the handle 50 is positioned in the first area A1 or And is pressed toward any one of the second regions A2. According to such a baby-use nipple 10, when the intended external force is not applied, the first region A1 is shifted from the first region A1 to the second region A2 or from the second region A2 to the first region A1 It is possible to very effectively prevent the handle 50 from turning against the base portion 30 beyond the pressing region A3. Accordingly, the handle 50 can be stably held in the first area A1, and the movement of the lid 40 from the closed position can be effectively regulated.

Further, as described above, in this embodiment, the projecting portion 58 is provided on at least one side of the shaft portion 56 of the handle 50. [ When the handle 50 rotates with respect to the base 30 and reaches the pressing area A3 from the first area A1 or the second area A2, So that the handle 50 is pressed toward either the first area A1 or the second area A2. According to such a baby nipple 10, the pressurized area A3 including the dead spots can be formed by a simple structure. In addition, the first region A1 and the second region A2 are formed on both sides of the pressure region A3 formed.

The lid 40 disposed at the closed position is located between both ends of the handle 50 in the direction along the rotation axis Lc of the handle 50. In this embodiment, Further, the lid 40 is rotated relative to the base portion 30 so as to slide with respect to the base portion 30. At least a part of the handle 50 is moved along the sliding direction of the lid 40 when at least a portion of the lid 40 disposed in the closed position As shown in Fig. According to the baby nipple 10, the restricting mechanism for rotating the lid 40 using the handle 50 can be realized by a simple structure.

In the present embodiment, the first region A1 includes a position where the handle 50 is rotated by gravity against the base portion 30 when the baby's nipple 10 is bitten by the user , And the second area A2 includes a position where the handle 50 extends from the base 30 in the direction toward the user's head when the baby's nipple 10 is supposed to be hooked to the user have. According to the baby nipple 10, the handle 50 can be stably held in the first region A1 when the nipple portion 20 of the baby nipple 10 is held in the mouth of the user. Accordingly, the movement of the lid 40 from the closed position can be effectively restricted.

According to the present embodiment, the convex portion 36 is provided on one of the base portion 30 and the lid 40 and the other portion of the base portion 30 and the lid 40 is hooked on the convex portion 36 The concave portion 42 is formed so that the convex portion 36 and the concave portion 42 engage with each other when the lid 40 is located at the closed position so that the lid 40 is engaged with the base portion 30 It has been taken. Such baby nipple 10 can inadvertently prevent the lid 40 from moving from the closed position and leave the lid 40 in the closed position. The lid 40 can be left in the closed position more reliably by combining with the structure for restricting the rotation of the lid 40 by using the handle 50 described above.

The baby nipple holder, which is normally used to prevent the dropping of the baby nipple into the ground of the string-like member 70, for example, the baby nipple, is prevented by the rotatable handle of the baby nipple 10 (50). The string-like member 70 slides on the handle 50 and is easy to move to the end of the handle 50 rotatably held on the base 30. When the string-like member 70 is moved to the end of the handle 50, the string-like member 70 restricts the rotation of the handle 50 or rotates the handle 50 to the unintended side .

On the other hand, according to the present embodiment, the groove portion 53 is formed in the handle 50 at a position apart from the end portion rotatably held in the base portion 30. [ When the string-like member 70 is attached to the groove 53 of the handle 50, the string-like member 70 can be prevented from moving on the handle 50. The string member 70 is moved to the end of the handle 50 rotatably held in the base 30 during the use of the baby nipple 10 or during cleaning and the like, It is possible to effectively prevent the disadvantage of restricting the rotation of the rotating shaft 50.

Particularly, in this embodiment, the pair of projections 54 provided on the handle 50 form a groove 53 between the pair of projections 54. According to the baby nipple 10, the groove 53 can be formed by a simple structure.

It is also possible to make various modifications to the above-described embodiment. Hereinafter, an example of the modification will be described.

For example, in the above-described embodiment, the lid 40 disposed at the closed position is located between the handles 50 in the direction along the rotation axis Lc of the handle 50, An example in which it is slidable with respect to the portion 30 is shown, but the present invention is not limited to this. As an example, it can be changed as shown in Fig. 13 and Fig. 13 and 14, the lid 40a disposed at the closed position is located between the handles 50 in the direction along the rotation axis Lc of the handle 50. In the example shown in Figs. The lid 40a is rotatable relative to the base portion 30 about the axis Lf substantially parallel to the rotation axis Lc of the handle 50 with respect to the base portion 30 ). In this example, the lid portion 41a of the lid 40a is thicker on both sides in the lateral direction. As a result, as shown in Fig. 13, when the handle 50 is located in the first area A1, at least a part of the handle 50 is moved in the closed position along the rotating direction of the lid 40a Is located in the vicinity of at least a portion of the disposed lid 40 (that is, a thick portion on both sides of the lid 41a). Thus, when the handle 50 is located in the first area A1, it is possible to restrict the movement of the lid 40a from the closed position. The handle 50 protruding to the other side along the protruding direction La of the nipple portion 20 and the lid 40a protruding toward the other side are formed in the center portion of the lid 40a, It is also possible to form a sufficient gap between the handle 50 and the handle 50 for hooking the finger.

The examples shown in Figs. 13 and 14 are substantially the same as those of the above-described embodiment except for the configuration of the lid portion. In Figs. 13 and 14, the same reference numerals are given to the same parts as those in the above-described embodiment, and redundant description is omitted.

In the above-described embodiment, the groove 53 is formed between the pair of projections 54 by the pair of projections 54 provided on the handle 50. However, It does not. For example, the thickness of one portion of the main body 51 of the handle 50 may be made thinner than the thickness of the other portion to form the groove portion.

In the above embodiment, the expansion projections 62 and 63 are formed by locally increasing the thickness of the flange portion 60. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the expansion projections 62, The flange portion 60 may be formed with a concave portion from the side where the nipple portion 20 is held so that the thickness of the flange portion 60 may be substantially constant.
