Definitions
- the present invention relates to a pacifier holder for newborns, said pacifier comprising a teat and a gripping endpiece with an intermediate ring or collar, said support being made of a flexible material and comprising at least one opening in which the endpiece can be engaged to removably fix the pacifier to the support, the latter being intended to be placed in a cradle, for example, near the head of the newborn.
- a classic problem posed by a pacifier is that of its fall when the newborn baby lets the teat escape from its mouth.
- a ring is used which is generally carried by the tip of the pacifier to pass a collar which allows the pacifier to be suspended around the neck of the newborn.
- This solution is generally satisfactory when the newborn is for example in the arms of a person or in a stroller.
- the collar is of no interest, and its use can even be dangerous. Indeed, the collar can wrap around the neck of the newborn and be the cause of a strangulation.
- the pacifier when the newborn baby lets go of the pacifier, the pacifier remains in the cradle, but if the newborn is not yet old enough to take it back in hand, intervention is necessarily required. a third person who is most often alerted by the cries of the newborn.
- Document CA-A-1 130 166 describes the principle of a pacifier holder intended to be placed in the cradle near the head of the newborn. Concretely, this support is in the form of an animal having at least one deformable arm at the end of which the pacifier is fixed. Once the support is in place in the cradle, the arm is deformed and oriented so that the pacifier can be positioned at the mouth of the newborn.
- the support has the form of a cylinder of rubberized foam of a great length in which is housed a metal rod which makes it possible to deform it.
- This cylinder has a lateral opening intended to receive the pacifier.
- special emphasis is given to the construction of the pacifier which is no longer traditional, but which includes a nipple and a collar which adopt the form of a bottle nipple in which the rubber collar has a rim function flexible.
- the traditional rigid flange is eliminated, which offers the advantage of avoiding any irritant contact with the mouth of the newborn.
- a fabric itself covered with a fabric cover, possibly removable, and a rigid plastic ring is sewn in the removable cover to hold the teat threaded in the opening. and keep it in position by locking its collar against the cylinder.
- Pacifier holders as described above have drawbacks, in particular related to the fact that they require the deformation of at least part of the holder to adjust the position of the teat to the height of the mouth of the newborn.
- the placing these supports is not an immediate operation.
- these supports have possibilities of deformation which are limited and approximate, which affects their effectiveness.
- the front supports also have the disadvantage that they generally have to be deformed in a different manner depending on the side on which the head of the newborn baby is turned.
- the support according to document CA-A-1 130 166 is necessarily relatively bulky. As a result, it is not well suited to the case of small cradles, and it can cause the newborn to squint.
- the playful aspect of the support is not necessarily an advantage, because it can possibly scare the newborn.
- the support and the means for fixing the pacifier to the latter involve several elements, which complicates its structure and increases its manufacturing cost.
- the mouth of the newborn will be in permanent contact with the support cover.
- the saliva of the newborn will therefore moisten this cover, and it will not result in good hygiene.
- it is necessary to grasp the teat with your fingers to fix it to the support which is also not hygienically recommended.
- the object of the invention is to overcome the drawbacks of lollipop holders according to the prior art, while providing other advantages, in particular in terms of the simplicity of its structure, its installation in a cradle and its low manufacturing cost.
- the invention provides a pacifier holder for newborns of the aforementioned type, and which is characterized in that the opening in which can be engaged the endpiece to removably fix the pacifier to the support, is an oblong opening, in that said endpiece is retained in said opening by elastic deformation of this opening, and in that the support is a hollow body which has at least one face serving as a support surface for the support.
- the face of the support which delimits the bearing surface is an open face.
- the support has a curved shape that is substantially hemispherical, for example.
- the pacifier can be fixed to the support with the nipple located inside of it and the nozzle located outside of it, the pacifier having then been freely introduced into the support by the open face thereof.
- the pacifier can be indifferently fixed to the support while being engaged on one side or the other of the oblong opening.
- the teat protrudes outside the support, it is in the so-called use position to be engaged in the mouth of the newborn, while in the position where it is housed inside the support, it is in a so-called non-use position which allows it to be protected hygienically, which is an advantage not to be overlooked.
- the support can comprise several oblong openings situated at different heights, in order to be able to adapt the same support to newborns having different ages, for example.
- the support can be deformed during the operation of engaging the tip of the pacifier in the oblong opening of the support, but it then generally resumes its initial shape.
- the installation of the support in the cradle does not require any particular operation aimed at making it take a particular shape, as is the case for the prior supports. It is enough to place it near the head of the newborn, the latter being turned indifferently to one side or the other.
- the support comprises only one piece which can be easily manufactured by molding, for example, from a transparent plastic material.
- the newborn can move the support when it performs a movement of the head without letting the teat escape, while the anterior supports mentioned above remain fixed, that is to say that the risk of loss of the teat with a support according to the invention is very reduced, which increases its effectiveness.
- the support is sterilizable, like the pacifiers, which contributes to strengthening its hygienic character.
- FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a lollipop support according to the invention, the nipple of the lollipop being located outside the support, - FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the support alone,
- - Figure 3 is an elevational view with partial cutaway of the pacifier holder where the pacifier nipple is housed inside the support
- - Figure 4 is a sectional view in a horizontal plane of an identical support to the one illustrated in the previous figures, but with another form of lollipop.
- a support 1 of a pacifier 2 for a newborn is a hollow body made of a flexible material, such as a transparent plastic.
- this hollow support 1 has a substantially hemispherical curved shape and it has a face 1a which serves as its support surface.
- the face 1a of this support 1 is an open face delimited by an opening 4 which makes it possible to place the support, in a stable manner, in a cradle, a pram or a basket.
- This opening 4 is circular and has a diameter of about 8 cm, for example.
- the side wall of the support 1 is pierced with at least one oblong opening 5 which extends, for example, substantially parallel to the plane defined by the open face 1a of the support 1.
- the pacifier 2 is a traditional pacifier which consists of a flexible rubber nipple 10 and a rigid gripping end piece 11. More specifically, the teat 10 is fixed at one end of the end piece 11, the other end of which supports a ring 13 which freely crosses an opening 14 in the end piece 11.
- This end piece 11 also includes an intermediate ring or collar 15 in its central part, which serves as a stop to limit the degree of penetration of the nipple 10 into the mouth of the newborn.
- This flange 15 is made of a rigid material, and it may include a notch 16 at its periphery. This notch 16 then forms a clearance which prevents the nose of the newborn from coming into contact with the rigid collar 15.
- the lollipop 2 is removably attached to the support 1 as follows.
- the pacifier is gripped by its pivoting ring 13 which is engaged in the oblong opening 5 to force it to penetrate inside the support 1 with concomitant elastic deformation of the oblong opening 5.
- the pacifier 2 is kept fixed, the oblong opening 5 elastically deformed exerting sufficient pressure forces on the nozzle 11 to ensure this maintenance.
- the flange 15 is substantially in contact with the support, on the outside of the latter.
- the support 1 to which the pacifier 2 is fixed is then placed freely by its support surface delimited by its face 1a on the bottom of the cradle, while being positioned near the head of the newborn and oriented so that he can grasp the nipple 10.
- the oblong opening 5 is situated at a height which is determined in such a way that the support 1 is adapted to the normal dimensions of the head of newborns.
- the same support 1 may include several oblong openings 5 located at different heights depending on the age of the newborn.
- the method of fixing the pacifier 2 to its support 1 offers the possibility of being able to turn the pacifier 2 on itself to make it take any desired orientation, in particular so that the notch 16 for releasing the collar 15 is positioned at the nose of the newborn.
- the structure of the support 1 makes it possible to fix the pacifier 2 so that the teat can be indifferently located outside the support 1 (FIG. 1) which corresponds to a so-called use position, where at inside the support 1, as is clearly illustrated in FIG. 3.
- the pacifier 2 has been freely introduced inside the support 1 through its opening 4, and the ring 13 has been engaged in the oblong opening 5 until it protrudes outside the support 1 to secure the pacifier 2 to the support 1.
- the pacifier 10 is protected, when pacifier 2 is not used.
- Figure 4 illustrates an alternative embodiment, where the support 1 is identical to that illustrated in the other figures, only the pacifier 2 having a different structure.
- This pacifier 2 also of a type known per se, differs from the previous only by the fact that the ring 13 is no longer pivotable, but integral with the nozzle 11, which in no way modifies the principle of l 'invention.
- the invention is not limited to the embodiment described above.
- the shape of the support may be different, and holes 18 may be provided in the support 1 to avoid any risk of suffocation, if the newborn baby comes to press his mouth directly against the support 1.
