Definitions
- This invention relates to baby soothers of the kind comprising a member which acts as a shield carrying a teat and also having a handle extending in a direction away from the teat.
- the object of the invention is to provide a baby soother of this kind in a convenient form.
- a baby soother comprises a shield carrying a teat extending from one side thereof, the shield also having on its side remote from the teat, a handle which incorporates a hinge whereby a main portion of the handle can be hinged relatively to a portion of the handle fixed to the shield.
- FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view of a baby soother constructed in accordance with the invention
- FIG. 2 is a side elevation view and FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of an alternative construction.
- the baby soother illustrated comprises three components.
- the main component is a combined shield and handle 1 l, which is formed as a single part preferably by a moulding process from a plastics material such as polypropylene.
- the shield 10 is a substantially flat round disc with an enlarged boss on one side having a stepped bore, in its centre.
- the handle 11 is generally arcuate and joins the shield 10, on the side thereof on which the centre boss is formed. The ends of the handle join the shield at positions diametrically opposite to each other.
- the handle is of circular cross-section but near its two junctions with the shield 10, it has two narrow neck portions 12. These serve as hinge connections between an outer main portion of the handle and short portions connected to the shield 10 respectively.
- the hinge portions 12 have a degree of resilience so that the handle tends to stand up from the shield 10 as shown in the drawings. However, the handle can be hinged down into the position indicated in dotted lines at 13 in FIG. 2.
- Such open end is provided with a thickened bead 16 which locates on a shoulder 17 formed in the bore of the shield 10.
- the plug is double headed and has a tapered shank joining the two heads, one of which is however, larger than the other.
- the flat surface under the larger of the heads engages the bead 16, of the teat and secures it against its shoulder 17 in the shield 10.
- the smaller head of the plug 14 traps the teat against another shoulder 18 in the bore of the shield 10, such shoulder18 being presented in the opposite direction to the shoulder 17.
- a frusto conical section 19 of the bore which also serves to trap the teat and force it against the correspondingly tapered shank of the plug 14.
- the bulbous end of the teat 15 extends from the shield away from the handle 11.
- the teat is introduced into the bore of the boss of the. shield 10 and the plug is then forced into place to trap it. Since the smaller end of the plug 14 is also headed, as described, this resists separation of the components.
- the shield is made from two parts 20, 21 secured together at their inner and outer peripheries.
- a space 22 is defined between these parts and in this are loosely carried a number of glass beads 23 or other objects intended to provide a rattle effect when the soother is moved.
- the two parts 20, 21 are preferably welded together at their edges and both are plastics mouldings.
- the handle 11 is formed integrally with the part 20 of this shield.
- a baby soother having a shield with two sides, a resilient teat on one side and a handle on the other side, comprising an integral shield and handle structure, said handle being substantially arcuate in shape, the arcuate shaped handle having ends integral with said other side of said shield, said ends being joined to said shield at positions diametrically opposite to each other, said handle being substantially circular in cross-section throughout most of its arcuate shape but having narrow neck portions adjacent each end but spaced from said other side of said shield to form integral resilient hinge means, said neck portion having a degree of resilience to cause the handle to normally stand up on said shield but permitting it to be hinged on the shield by the baby, said shield having a centrally disposed enlarged boss, said boss having a stepped bore therethrough extending from one side to the other, said bore having shoulders therein with the shoulders being disposed in the bore at the respective opposite sides of the shield, said resilient teat being hollow and having beads surrounding an open end thereof, said beads being adapted to interfit with said shoulders to hold said teat projecting from said one side of
