Description

H. ROTHBARD Nov. 5, 1957 PACIFIERS Filed Nov. 14, 1955 United States Patent OfiTice 2,811,949 Patented Nov. 5, 1957 PACIFIERS Herbert Rothbard, New York, N. Y. Application November 14, 1955, Serial No. 546,395 1 Claim. (Cl. 128-360) My invention relates to the improvement of pacifiers for the purpose of promoting-security and contentment of the infant during its sleeping hours. The objects of my improvement are: First, to provide a nipple and base all of unitary construction as the body portion of the pacifier; second, to further provide a flexible wrist strap which passes through the base and which encircles the infants wrist with adjusting snaps, or buckle, if more practicable, to enable adjustment of wrist strap to diameter of infants wrist and then to a closed position; third, to further provide a pacifier which will be fastened to each wrist of the infant so that the infant will, while in its crib, have the pacifiers available at all times as it turns its head from side to side, making it impossible for the infant to lose them during its sleeping hours; fourth, to further provide a pacifier without a guard thus eliminating the danger of the infant pushing the guard into its mouth and back of the teeth causing gagging and chokmg.
I attain these objects by the devices illustrated in the accompanying drawing in which:
Figure No. 1 is a side View of the combination of the nipple and base as a unit; Figure No. 2 is a bottom view of the combination of the nipple and base as a unit; Figure No. 3 is a top view of the flexible wrist strap with snaps spaced evenly apart for adjustment around infants wrist; Figure No. 4 is a side view of the combination of the nipple and base as a unit with the flexible wrist strap passing through the slots at extreme ends of the base which are parallel to each other.
Similar numerals relate to similar parts throughout the several views.
The nipple 1 and the base 2 are molded in one unit together with a removable flexible wrist strap 3 which passes through the two slots at extreme ends of the base which are parallel to each other. This removable flexible wrist strap is independently manufactured. In the manufacture of nipple and base as a unit gum rubber is preferable but any equivalent as may be suitable can be used. The nipple and base combination can be of solid gum rubber or hollow whichever is felt more desirable. The flexible wrist band can be made of plastic or nylon but any equivalent as may be suitable can be used. The base of the nipple and base combination should be very flexible so that it can embrace the infants wrist when the flexible wrist band is encircled about the infants wrist and fastened. The nipple and base combination would rest on the inside portion of the infants wrists in line with the thumbs as most comfortable sucking position for the infant. Snaps should be placed evenly apart on the flexible wrist strap for proper wrist adjustment. If a buckle is to be used then holes should be placed evenly apart on the flexible wrist strap for proper wrist adjustment.
The embodiment of my improvement as shown in Figure No. 4 reveals a pacifier with nipple 1 and base 2 of the unit construction plus a flexible wrist strap 3 which passes through the extreme ends of the base of said unit construction which cannot be lost by the infant while asleep and which can be sterilized by removal of said flexible wrist strap. Said flexible wrist strap encircles the infants wrists and is adjusted to a closed position by means of snaps. To provide a pacifier without a guard would eliminate the danger of the infant pushing the guard into its mouth and back of its teeth causing gagging and choking. The greatest cause of infant crying during the sleeping hours of the infant is due to the loss of the pacifier Within the crib or outside of the crib thereby disturbing its sleep.
I am aware that prior to my invention pacifiers have been made with nipples which are adapted to soothe infants. I do not claim such a device, but I claim:
The combination in a nipple and a base all of one piece inseparable unit construction and a removable flexible adjustable wrist strap which passes through the slots at the extreme ends of the base and parallel to each other for securing said pacifier to infants wrist.
