TH77645A - Rubber pacifier (used to trick babies) - Google Patents

Abstract

DC60 (20/12/47) The invention relates to a rubber pacifier (for infants) consisting of a body (1) and a shaft (2). The body of the rubber pacifier (1) has an indentation that protrudes in the longitudinal direction of the pacifier. This pacifier is shaped in such a way that the indentation (4), when viewed in a longitudinal cross-section, tapers in a flattened manner mostly toward the free anterior end (1a) of the body (1) of the pacifier. The better indentation (4) extends along the entire length of the pacifier. The better shaft (2) has an angular shape when viewed in a cross-section. From a dental point of view, the rubber pacifier is useful, especially because it soothes and allows infants and young children to suck in a consistent manner at the same time. The invention relates to a rubber pacifier (for infants) consisting of a body (1) and a shaft (2). The body of the rubber pacifier (1) has an indentation that protrudes in the longitudinal direction of the pacifier. (For infants) This (for infants) pacifier is shaped in such a way that the indentation (4), when viewed in a longitudinal cross-section, tapers in a manner that is mostly toward the free anterior end (1a) of the body (1) of the (for infants) pacifier. The better indentation (4) extends along the entire length of the (for infants) pacifier. The better axis (2) has an angular shape when viewed in a cross-section. From a dental point of view, the (for infants) pacifier is particularly useful because it soothes and keeps infants and toddlers sucking in a consistent manner at the same time.

Claims (22)

1. The rubber nipple (for baby bottles) consists of a body and a shaft. The body has an indentation that extends lengthwise along the nipple. This indentation, when viewed longitudinally, tapers flattened towards the free end at the front of the body. 2. The rubber nipple (for baby bottles) consists of a body and a shaft. Its characteristic feature is that the body has a flat bottom, which mostly extends parallel to the longitudinal axis of the rubber nipple (for baby bottles). 3. The rubber nipple (for baby bottles), according to claim 2, has the characteristic that the maximum ratio between its maximum height and its length is 0.7, the best maximum is 0.6, and the particularly good ratio is 0.5. 4. A rubber nipple (for baby bottles) as provided for by any one of the claims in claims 1 through 3 has the characteristic that it is shaped like a rubber nipple (used to entice infants) and has a lip shield attached directly or indirectly to the shaft. 5. The rubber nipple (for baby bottles), as per claim 4, is characterized by the fact that its axis, when viewed in a longitudinal cross-section, has an angular shape. 6. The rubber nipple (for baby bottles), as claimed by one of the preceding claims, is characterized by the fact that its conical shape tapers freely towards the front end when viewed from above. 7. The rubber nipple (for baby bottles), as per one of the claims above, is characterized by the fact that the shaft has a width of approximately 3 to 15 mm, preferably between 3 and 13 mm. 8. The rubber nipple (for baby bottles), as per claim 7, is characterized by the fact that its shaft width is approximately 7 to 12 mm. 9. The rubber nipple (for baby bottles), as per one of the claims above, is characterized by the fact that the core is approximately 0.5 to 6 mm thick and, preferably, 0.5 to 4 mm wide. 10. The rubber nipple (for baby bottles), as per claim 9, is characterized by the fact that the core thickness is approximately 1 to 3 mm. 11. The rubber nipple (for baby bottles), as per one of the claims above, is characterized by the fact that the body and shaft have an overall length of approximately 15 to 32 mm, and preferably a length of approximately 15 to 30 mm. 12. The rubber nipple (for baby bottles), as per claim 11, is characterized by the fact that the body and shaft have an overall length of approximately 24 to 28 mm. 13. The rubber nipple (for baby bottles), as provided for by one of the predicates, is characterized by the fact that it is made from a hardened product of natural latex, natural rubber, or synthetic polyisoprene, or a composite of the above materials, or from silicone or thermoplastic elastomer. 14. The rubber nipple (for baby bottles), as provided for under one of the foregoing claims, is characterized by the fact that its core is made from a hardened product of natural latex, natural rubber, or synthetic polyisoprene, or a composite of the above materials, or of silicone or thermoplastic elastomer. 15. The rubber nipple (for baby bottles), as provided for by any one of the claims in claims 1 through 14, is characterized by the fact that the core is made of plastic. 16. The rubber nipple (for baby bottles), according to any one of the claims in Claims 1 through 15, is characterized by the fact that its construct is hollow. 17. The rubber nipple (for baby bottles), as provided for by any one of the claims in claims 1 through 15, is characterized by the fact that the rubber nipple (for baby bottles) is manufactured as a solid. 18. The rubber nipple (for baby bottles), as per one of the claims above, is characterized by the fact that its body has a rim which has been drawn down to the sides, creating a lateral indentation, where the better edge tapers toward the tip of the rim when viewed in cross-section relative to the longitudinal direction of the body. 19. The rubber nipple (for baby bottles), as claimed by one of the foregoing claims, is characterized by the fact that a saddle-shaped ridge is formed at the transition from the axis to the body on the underside of the body, and that this saddle is continuous with the indentation. 20. The rubber nipple (for baby bottles), as per one of the claims above, is characterized by the fact that its axis is at an angle several times and has a straight axis section and a subsequent support at an angle which is bent at an angle toward the longitudinal direction of the straight axis section and a transition section which is at an angle to the support as well, with the axis connected to the body. 21. The instrument under claim 20 is characterized by the fact that the angle to which the supports are tilted relative to the longitudinal direction of the linear segment is chosen in such a way that the supports hold and support the upper and lower jaws, or the upper and lower front teeth, in their anatomically correct positions. 22. The body under claim 20 or 21 is characterized by the fact that the angle of inclination of the segment relative to the longitudinal direction of the linear segment is chosen in such a way that the body is uniformly positioned relative to the palate when the rubber nipple (for a baby bottle) is inserted into the mouth.
