TEETHING DEVICE.
Specification'of Letters Patent.
Patented Aug. 8, 1916.
Application filed April 6, 1915. Serial No. 19,555.
To all whom it may concern: 1
Be it known that I, ISAAC H. SHAM- BAUGH, a citizen of the United States,'residing at Avilla, in the county of Noble and State of Indiana, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in TeethingDevices, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to teething devices for assisting children in cutting their teeth and aims to provide an article of this class which will be far superior to and more efficient than the ordinary teething ring. The
' ordinary teething ring does not well serve its purpose for the reason that a child, in the natural use of the same, will bite in such a manner as to bring the gums at the sides of the mouth into contact with the ring,
' whereas it is desirable that the gums at the front of the mouth be brought into such contact as the front teeth are those which first make their appearance.
The aim of the present invention is, therefore, to 'prOVide an article for the purpose above stated of such form that a child, in the natural use of the article,'will bite in such a manner that the gums at the front of the mouth will be brought into contact with the surface of the article.
In the accompanying drawings? Figure 1 is a perspective view of the article embodying the present invention; Fig. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view therethrough.
Corresponding and like parts are referred to in the following description and indicated in all the views of the drawings by the same reference characters.
The article comprises essentially a handle, indicated by the numeral 1, and this handle may be of any desired length and of any 7 suitable material and supports, at each end, a solid head 2, these solid heads occupying substantially the same plane and also lying within the plane of the handle 1. Each of the heads 2 is lenticular in form, being substantially circular in outline and having a straight uninterrupted marginal wall and convex upper and under faces 3 gradually merging into said marginal wall. The heads 2 may be of any suit-' able material, as for example, ivory or bone and the handle 1 which connects the said heads may be integral therewith 0r secured thereto in any suitable manner. In any event, the handle 1 extends between the heads in a straight line transecting the axes of the heads and it will be understood that, in the natural use ofthe article, a child will grasp thehandle l and will place either of the heads 2 in the mouth and between the gums. As the upper and under faces of the heads are convex, and as these surfaces are unbroken, the gums at the front of the mouth will first come into contact with the said surfaces regardless of the position to which the article may be turned or twisted ISAAC H. SHAMBAUGH. [1 s.]
