Description

pacifier

The present invention relates to a pacifier having a nipple portion, and more particularly to a pacifier that can easily clean the inside of the nipple portion.

The present invention also relates to a pacifier having a nipple portion and a handle, and more particularly to a pacifier that is easy to grip the handle and can prevent the handle from entering deeply into the mouth when the handle is included in the mouth.

Furthermore, the present invention relates to a pacifier having a nipple portion and a rotatable handle, and in particular, when the user includes the nipple portion in the mouth, the handle is prevented from coming into contact with the user's face. It can relate to pacifiers.

Furthermore, the present invention relates to a pacifier having a nipple portion and a rotatable handle, and more particularly to a pacifier that is difficult to prevent the rotation of the handle during handling.

Conventionally, pacifiers are known as a childcare device used by infants in their mouths. For example, as disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 2001-276185, the pacifier has a nipple portion imitating a mother's nipple and a base portion that holds the nipple portion. The nipple portion is formed in a hollow shape so as to be easily elastically deformed when it is contained in the infant's mouth. The hollow inside of the nipple portion communicates with the outside through a vent hole (reference numeral 16 in JP-A-2001-276185) formed in the base portion. The vent hole is formed with a small diameter in order to prevent liquid from entering the inside of the nipple portion and inflow of foreign matter.

In general, the pacifier further has a plate-shaped collar portion extending outward from the base portion and a handle (gripping portion) held by the base portion. The collar portion is provided to prevent an infant including the nipple portion from swallowing the entire pacifier. The handle is provided so that the pacifier can be stably held.

The handle is usually placed on the opposite side of the nipple across the collar. The handle is preferably easily gripped when the infant swallows the pacifier from the nipple side beyond the collar. This is so that the pacifier swallowed in the infant's mouth can be quickly and reliably pulled out. Typically, the handle is designed to protrude from the base at a certain length and to be rotatable with respect to the base.

However, such conventional pacifiers have some problems.

First, the first problem is that the inside of the nipple cannot be kept clean. As described above, the vent hole that communicates with the inside of the nipple portion is formed with a small diameter in order to prevent inflow of liquid or foreign matter. However, no matter how small the size of the ventilation hole, it is not possible to completely prevent dust or liquid from entering the inside of the nipple. Conventionally, dust, liquid, and the like that have entered the inside of the nipple part are removed from the inside of the nipple part by squeezing out. However, such a method is not only complicated and time consuming, but it also cannot completely remove the dust, liquid, etc. from the inside of the nipple. The pacifier used in the infant's mouth needs to be kept clean. Moreover, dust, liquid, etc. remaining inside the nipple portion excessively raises the anxiety of parents who protect infants.

Note that Japanese Patent Publication No. 2003-210554 discloses a pacifier in which the nipple portion is separable from other parts. In this pacifier, the nipple portion separated from other parts can be easily and carefully washed. However, in such a separable pacifier, there is another problem that an infant may accidentally swallow the separated parts (so-called small parts). This problem is a serious problem that should be avoided in general for all infant equipment.

The second problem with conventional pacifiers is that if an infant misuses a pacifier from the side of the handle, the handle that protrudes greatly from the base will penetrate deeply into the infant's mouth. As described above, it is preferable that the handle protrudes greatly from the base when the pacifier is swallowed beyond the collar. This is to make it easier to grip the handle, thereby enabling the pacifier to be quickly and reliably pulled out of the mouth. On the other hand, if the handle protrudes greatly from the base, there is a possibility that the handle may stick to the throat when the pacifier is put into the mouth from the handle side. That is, it is a problem to simultaneously balance the ease of gripping the handle and the difficulty of deeply entering the mouth when the handle is included in the mouth.

A third problem with conventional pacifiers is that the rotatable handle can touch the infant's face when the nipple is in the infant's mouth. As shown in FIG. 3 of Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 2001-276185, the handle (reference number 23 in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2001-276185) is shielded from the infant's face by the collar portion in a normal use state. It is arranged at the position. And, as shown in the figure, on the head side of the infant when it is assumed that the pacifier is included in the infant around the base, no brim is provided. Alternatively, the protrusion amount from the base portion of the collar portion as provided is very small. This is because if the collar part protrudes greatly on the infant's head side, the collar part comes into contact with the infant's nose. On the other hand, during use of the pacifier, the handle may unintentionally rotate with respect to the base, and the handle may extend beyond the collar in a direction toward the infant's head. In this case, the handle may come into contact with the infant's face, for example, the nose, and may even harm the infant.

The fourth problem is that the rotation of the handle is restricted by a string-like member attached to the handle. A pacifier holder, which is used to prevent a string member, for example, a pacifier from dropping on the ground or pacifier loss, is often attached to a rotatable handle. And this string-like member is easy to slide on the handle formed in U shape, for example. For this reason, it frequently occurs that the string-like member moves to the U-shaped end of the handle rotatably held at the base, and the string-like member is caught between the end of the handle and the base. obtain. In this case, there is a possibility that the string-like member restricts the rotation of the handle, or urges or rotates the handle toward an unintended direction.

The present invention aims to eliminate the above-mentioned problems associated with conventional pacifiers. That is, an object of the present invention is to provide a pacifier capable of easily cleaning the inside of a nipple portion. It is another object of the present invention to provide a pacifier that is easy to grip the handle and can prevent the handle from entering deeply into the mouth when the handle is included in the mouth. Furthermore, an object of the present invention is to provide a pacifier capable of suppressing the handle from coming into contact with the user's face when the user includes the nipple portion in the mouth.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 to FIG. 14 are diagrams for explaining an embodiment of a pacifier according to the present invention. 1 and 2 are perspective views showing the pacifier, FIG. 3 is a view (back view) showing the pacifier from the side opposite to the side where the nipple portion is held, and FIG. 4 is a view showing the pacifier from above. 5 is a side view showing the pacifier from the side, FIG. 6 is a sectional view taken along line VI-VI in FIG. 3, and FIG. 7 is taken along line VII-VII in FIG. It is sectional drawing.

As shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 7, the pacifier 10 includes a nipple portion 20 that imitates a female nipple, a base portion 30 that holds the nipple portion 20, and a lid 40 that is held by the base portion 30. have. As shown in FIG. 6, the nipple part 20 protrudes from the base 30 to one side. The lid 40 is held on the side (one side) opposite to the side (one side) holding the nipple part 20 of the base 30. As shown in FIGS. 4 to 6, the nipple part 20 and the lid body 40 are arranged at positions facing each other across the base 30 along the protruding direction La of the nipple part 20.

Further, the pacifier 10 further includes a plate-shaped collar portion 60 that extends outward from the base portion 30 and a handle 50 that is rotatably held by the base portion 30. The handle 50 is on the opposite side of the nipple part 20 across the collar part 60, in other words, on the opposite side (the other side) of the nipple part 20 with the collar part 60 sandwiched along the protruding direction La of the nipple part 20. Has been placed.

Hereinafter, each component of the pacifier 10 will be described in detail. In the following description, the terms “upper”, “lower”, “horizontal”, “vertical direction”, and “lateral direction” indicate the direction of protrusion La of the nipple 20 from the base 30 unless otherwise specified. It means "upper", "lower", "horizontal", "vertical direction" and "horizontal direction" of a pacifier that is generally held along the horizontal direction by a user (such as an infant). . Therefore, the “up and down direction” corresponds to the up and down direction of the paper surface in FIG. 3, and “up” corresponds to the top of the paper surface in FIG. Further, the horizontal direction corresponds to the horizontal direction in FIG.

First, the nipple part 20 will be described. The nipple part 20 is comprised from the artificial nipple member 25 formed in the hollow shape. As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the artificial nipple member 25 includes a nipple portion 20 formed in a hollow shape and a skirt portion 26 continuous with the nipple portion 20. The skirt 26 is widened and finally opened. The hollow portion of the nipple portion 20 can be reached (accessed) from the outside through the skirt portion 26. The artificial nipple member 25 may be formed of a material that is easily elastically deformed. For example, transparent silicone rubber is used as a material for the artificial nipple member 25.

Next, the base 30 will be described. As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the base portion 30 is formed in a substantially plate shape by a first base material 31 and a second base material 32 fitted to the first base material 31. A part of the first base material 31 also constitutes a collar portion 60. As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the first base material 31 abuts against the hem portion 26 of the artificial nipple member 25 in an annular shape from the outside. On the other hand, the second base material 32 abuts against the hem portion 26 of the artificial nipple member 25 in an annular shape from the inside. The skirt portion 26 of the artificial nipple member 25 is sandwiched between the first base material 31 and the second base material 32. In this manner, the base 30 holds the nipple part 20 so that the nipple part 20 protrudes from one side.

Note that, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the portion 33 that enters the skirt portion 26 of the second base material 32 is formed in a tubular shape. The tubular portion 33 extends along the longitudinal direction of the nipple portion 20 (which also corresponds to the protruding direction La). One end of the tubular portion 33 opens into the hollow interior of the nipple portion 20, and the other end of the tubular portion 33 opens to the outside. In this way, an opening 35 that faces the hollow interior of the nipple portion 20 along the protruding direction La of the nipple portion 20 is formed on the other side of the base portion 30. The opening 35 communicates with the hollow interior of the nipple portion 20. In other words, the inside of the nipple portion 20 communicates with the outside through the opening 35.

Next, the lid 40 will be described. As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the lid body 40 includes a lid portion 41 formed in a substantially plate shape extending in parallel with the base portion 30, and a shaft portion 44 formed integrally with the lid portion 41. It is out. As shown in FIG. 6, the shaft portion 44 of the lid body 40 is held rotatably (rotatable) by the first base material 31 and the second base material 32. As shown in FIG. 6, the rotational axis Lb of the lid 40 is substantially parallel to the protruding direction La of the nipple portion 20. Further, as shown in FIG. 6, the diameter of the shaft portion 44 is thick at the tip, the shaft portion 44 comes out from between the first base material 31 and the second base material 32, and the lid 40 is the base portion 30. It is prevented from falling off. Then, as the shaft portion 44 rotates about the rotation axis Lb, the lid portion 41 overlaps the base portion 30 from the other side along the protruding direction La of the nipple portion 20 as shown in FIG. For example, as shown in FIG. 2, it is possible to move (slide) between a position shifted from the base 30 in a direction orthogonal to the rotation axis Lb. In this way, the lid 40 has a base 30 between a closed position (see FIG. 1) for closing the opening 35 of the base 30 and an open position (for example, see FIG. 2) for opening the opening 35 of the base 30. Relative movement is possible.

3 to 5, the lid body 40 further includes a regulation protrusion 45 that projects laterally from the lid portion 41. The restriction protrusion 45 extends from the side of the lid 41 toward the base 30 side. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 5, the regulation protrusion 45 is formed on the first base material 31 forming the base portion 30 from the side of the lid portion 41 through the side of the second base material 32 forming the base portion 30. It extends to the side. Since the restricting projection 45 abuts against the base 30 from the side and restricts the rotation of the lid body 40, as shown in FIG. This is possible only in the rotation direction Da.

Further, a convex portion is provided on one of the base portion 30 and the lid body 40, and a concave portion 42 that can be engaged with the convex portion 36 is formed on the other side of the base portion 30 and the lid body 40. In the example shown in the figure, the portion of the base 30 made of the second member 32 is disposed on the other side along the protruding direction La of the nipple portion 20 (parallel to the rotational axis Lb of the lid 40 in the present embodiment). A protruding portion 36 is provided (see FIG. 2). A concave portion 42 that can accommodate the convex portion 36 is formed in the lid portion 41 of the lid body 40. As shown in FIG. 6, when the lid body 40 is located at the closed position, the convex portion 36 and the concave portion 42 are arranged at positions facing each other. At this time, the convex portion 36 enters the concave portion 42, and the lid body 40 is locked to the base portion 30.

Next, the collar part (shield part) 60 will be described. As described above, the collar portion 60 extends outward from the base portion 30. In the present embodiment, the collar portion 60 is formed integrally with a portion made of the first portion 31 of the base portion 30. The collar portion 60 is provided to prevent the user from swallowing the pacifier 10 deep into the throat. In addition, two through holes 61 are formed in the collar portion 60. This is because even if the user sucks the pacifier 10 to the position of the collar portion 60, the user can breathe through the hole 61.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, the collar portion 60 does not protrude greatly above the base portion 30. When the nipple part 20 of the pacifier 10 is included in the user's mouth, the upper part of the base part 30 faces the user's nose. Therefore, in order to prevent the flange portion 60 protruding upward from the base portion 30 from sticking to the user's nose and from damaging breathing from the user's nose, the flange portion 60 is located above the base portion 30. It does not protrude greatly.

As shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, the collar portion 60 is directed toward the side opposite to the side where the nipple portion 20 is held, that is, along the protruding direction La of the nipple portion 20. There are three or more bulging

portions

62, 62, 63 that bulge locally toward the other side. In the example shown in the figure, the collar portion 62 has three bulging portions, that is, a lower bulging portion 63 and a pair of upper bulging

portions

62 and 62. As shown in FIG. 3, when the pacifier 10 is observed from the side opposite to the side where the nipple portion 20 is held, in other words, from the other side along the protruding direction La of the nipple portion 20 toward the one side. When the pacifier 10 is observed, a pair of upper bulging

portions

62 and 62 are disposed above a virtual straight line extending on a rotation axis Lc of the handle 50 described later. Further, when the pacifier 10 is observed from the side opposite to the side where the nipple portion 20 is held, the lower bulging portion 63 is disposed below the imaginary straight line extending on the rotation axis Lc of the handle 50. . In addition, the pair of upper bulging

portions

62 and 62 are disposed at symmetrical positions around the center line in the lateral direction.

Next, the handle 50 will be described. As shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the handle 50 includes a substantially U-shaped main body 51 and a shaft portion 56 that extends inward from both ends of the U-shape. The main body 51 is formed by bending a substantially rectangular elongated plate-like material in a bow shape around an axis parallel to the plate surface. 8 is a front view showing the handle 50 in a state where it is not incorporated in the pacifier, and FIG. 9 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line IX-IX in FIG.

As shown in FIG. 7, the shaft portion 56 of the handle 50 is disposed in a space formed between the first base material 31 and the second base material 32, and the first base material 31 and the second base material 32. It is hold | maintained by the base 30 which consists of so that rotation (rotation is possible) is possible. As shown in FIG. 7 and FIG. 8, the pair of shaft portions 56 are positioned so that the respective shaft centers are arranged on the same straight line, and the handle 50 rotates the shaft center of the shaft portion 56 as a rotation shaft. The center Lc is rotatable (swingable) with respect to the base 30. As shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, the rotation axis Lc of the handle 50 extends in the lateral direction and is substantially orthogonal to the protruding direction La of the nipple portion 20 and the rotation axis Lb of the lid body 40. As described above and as illustrated, the handle 50 is disposed on the opposite side of the nipple portion 20 with the collar portion 60 interposed therebetween. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 5, the handle 50 rotates so as to protrude to the side opposite to the side holding the nipple part 20, in other words, to the other side along the protruding direction La of the nipple part 20.

As shown in FIGS. 1, 3, and 4, the lid body 40 disposed in the closed position has both ends of the main body 51 of the handle 50 in the direction along the rotation axis Lc of the handle 50. It will be located between the parts. As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the shaft portion 56 of the handle 50 is adjacent to the restricting protrusion 45 of the lid body 40 located at the closed position along the protruding direction La of the nipple portion 20. It is held on the base 30. When the handle 50 rotates with respect to the base 30, the main body 51 of the handle 50 passes through a position adjacent to the regulation protrusion 45 of the lid 40.

As shown in FIG. 8, the shaft portion 56 of the handle 50 includes a tip portion 57 having a diameter larger than the other portions of the shaft portion 56. As shown in FIG. 7, the distal end portion 57 interferes with the first base material 31 and the second base material 32, so that the shaft portion 56 of the handle 50 comes off from the base portion 30 and the handle 50 falls off from the base portion 30. Is prevented. Further, as shown in FIGS. 9 to 12, the shaft portion 56 of the handle 50 is provided with a protruding portion 58 that protrudes from the outer peripheral surface of the distal end portion 57.

When the handle 50 rotates about the rotation axis Lc with respect to the base 30, the protrusion 58 comes into contact with a part of the base 30 in a certain region as shown in FIGS. 10 to 12. And the protrusion part 58 functions as a cam, and presses a part of base 30 which functions as a cam follower, and elastically deforms it. With such a configuration, when the handle 50 is located in the urging region A3 where the projecting portion 58 contacts the base 30, the handle 50 is located outside the urging region A3, that is, both outward of the urging region A2. It is biased toward the first region A and the second region A2 located adjacent to each other. More specifically, as shown in FIG. 11, a dead center boundary line Ld is formed in the biasing area A3, and the longitudinal line Le of the handle 50 extending from the rotation axis Lc is within the biasing area A3. When located on the first area A1 side with respect to the dead center boundary line Ld, the handle 50 is biased so as to rotate toward the first area A1 side. Conversely, when the longitudinal direction line Le of the handle 50 is located on the second area A2 side with respect to the dead center boundary line Ld in the biasing area A3, the handle 50 is rotated to the second area A2 side. Be energized.

In the illustrated example, when the handle 50 is located in the biasing region A3, the protrusions 58 provided at both ends of the handle 50 are configured to be elastically deformed so that the pressing portion of the base 30 is easily deformed. 38 abuts. The pressing portion 38 can be configured as a cantilever beam, for example. By employ | adopting such a structure, rotation with respect to the base 30 of the handle | steering-wheel 50 can be made smooth. Further, the urging force of the handle 50 using the engagement between the protruding portion 58 of the handle 50 and the pressing portion 38 of the base 30 can be generated stably.

As described above, the handle 50 rotates with respect to the base 30 and can move in the first area A1, the urging area A3, and the second area A2. As described above, the handle 50 is disposed on the opposite side of the nipple portion 20 with the collar portion 60 interposed therebetween. And the handle | steering-wheel 50 is the range defined by interference with the collar part (shield part) 60, specifically, the protrusion direction La of the nipple part 20 in the opposite side to the side in which the nipple part 20 is hold | maintained. It can rotate within a range of about 180 ° centered. 1st area | region A1 which comprises this rotatable range contains the position which the handle | steering-wheel 50 turns with respect to the base 30 with gravity, when the nipple part 20 of the pacifier 10 is contained in a user's mouth, That is, it includes a position where the longitudinal line Le of the handle 50 extends downward from the rotation axis Lc (see FIG. 10). On the other hand, the second region A2 is a position where the handle 50 extends from the base 30 in the direction of the user's head when the nipple portion 20 of the pacifier 10 is assumed to be included in the user's mouth, That is, it includes a position (see FIG. 12) where the longitudinal line Le of the handle 50 extends upward from the rotation axis Lc.

9 and 12, the protrusion 58 provided at the end of the handle 50 is in surface contact with the pressing portion 38 of the base 30 when the handle 50 is located in the second region A2. A possible engagement surface 59 is included. Therefore, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 11, the range in which the handle 50 can move as the second region A2 is a narrow range. In addition, since the protruding portion 58 of the handle 50 and the pressing portion 38 of the base portion 30 are in surface contact, regardless of the holding state of the pacifier 10, that is, which portion of the pacifier 10 is positioned upward along the vertical direction. The handle 50 can be stably positioned with respect to the base 30 regardless of whether or not it is.

3 and 5, the rotation axis Lc of the handle 50 includes the regulation protrusion 45 of the lid body 45 in the closed position and the rotation axis Lb of the lid body 40 (the protrusion of the nipple portion 20). They are arranged so as to be adjacent from the one side along the direction La). Therefore, when the main body 51 of the handle 50 extends to the other side along the rotation axis Lb of the lid 40 (the protruding direction La of the nipple 20), one end of the main body 51 of the handle 50 is provided. The part portion is arranged in the vicinity of the restricting protrusion 45 of the lid body 40 arranged in the closed position, and generally at a position adjacent thereto. Therefore, when the longitudinal direction line Le of the handle 50 extends from the rotational axis Lc of the handle 50 to the other side along the protruding direction La of the nipple portion 20, the regulation protrusion 45 of the lid 40 and the main body portion of the handle 50 By the interference with 51, the movement of the lid body 40 from the closed position to the open position is regulated so that the regulating projection 45 is on the front side.

Further, in the illustrated example, even when the longitudinal line Le of the handle 50 extends downward substantially along the vertical direction, the movement of the lid 40 from the closed position to the open position is restricted. Yes. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, when the longitudinal line Le of the handle 50 extends downward substantially along the vertical direction, the main body 51 of the handle 50 rotates the handle 50. It is connected to the shaft portion 56 of the handle 50 so as to be eccentric to the other side along the rotation axis Lb (projection direction La of the nipple portion 20) of the lid 40 with respect to the movement axis Lc. That is, when the longitudinal line Le of the handle 50 extends downward substantially in the vertical direction, the center position of the main body 51 of the handle 50 along the rotation axis Lb of the lid 40 is It is shifted from the rotational axis Lc to the other side (the lower side of the paper surface in FIG. 4 and the right side of the paper surface in FIG. 5) along the rotational axis Lb of the lid 40. When the longitudinal direction line Le of the handle 50 extends downward substantially along the vertical direction, the main body 51 of the handle 50 extends along the rotation axis Lb of the lid 40 rather than the shaft 56 of the handle 50. Projecting to the other side. For this reason, the main body 51 of the handle 50 extending downward from the rotation axis Lc is substantially adjacent to, in the vicinity of, the restriction protrusion 45 of the lid 40 disposed at the closed position along the rotation direction of the lid 40. It will be arranged at the matching position. In this way, even when the longitudinal line Le of the handle 50 extends downward along the substantially vertical direction, the movement of the lid 40 from the closed position to the open position is restricted.

As a result, when the handle 50 is located in the first region A1, at least a part of the handle 50 is always disposed in the closed position along the sliding direction of the lid 40 with respect to the base 30. In the vicinity of at least a part (regulation protrusion 45), more specifically, it is located at a position that is substantially adjacent. Therefore, when the handle 50 is located in the first region A1, the lid body 40 is restricted from moving from the closed position.

On the other hand, as described above, the second region A2 is a narrow range in which the handle 50 extends upward from the rotation axis Lc. Further, as shown in FIG. 2 and as indicated by a two-dot chain line in FIG. 5, when the longitudinal line Le of the handle 50 extends upward along the substantially vertical direction, the rotation of the lid 40 is performed. The center position of the main body 51 of the handle 50 along the movement axis Lb is one side (the left side of the paper surface in FIG. 5) along the rotation axis Lb of the lid 40 with respect to the rotation axis Lc of the handle 50. Sloppy. When the longitudinal line Le of the handle 50 extends upward substantially along the vertical direction, the main body 51 of the handle 50 is along the rotation axis Lb of the lid 40 rather than the shaft 56 of the handle 50. Projecting to one side and not projecting to the other side. As a result, when the handle 50 is located in the first region A2, the handle 50 does not interfere with the lid 40 that moves from the closed position. That is, when the handle 50 is located in the first region A2, the movement of the lid 40 from the closed position is not restricted.

By the way, as well shown in FIG. 8, the main body 51 of the handle 50 is formed with a groove 53 at a position spaced from both ends rotatably supported by the base 30. In the illustrated example, the groove 53 is formed between the pair of protrusions 54 by a pair of protrusions 54 provided on the main body 51 of the handle 50. As shown in FIG. 8, a string-like member 70 can be attached to the groove 53. Examples of the string-like member 70 include a pacifier holder used for preventing the pacifier 10 from dropping on the ground and losing the pacifier 10.

In addition, the base part 30, the cover part 40, the handle | steering-wheel 50, and the collar part 60 mentioned above may be comprised, for example from resin.

Next, the operation of the pacifier 10 having the above configuration will be described.

As described above, the pacifier 10 is usually provided with a handle 50 that can protrude on the side opposite to the side where the nipple 20 is held. The handle 50 allows the pacifier 10 to be stably gripped without gripping the nipple portion 20 to be kept clean from entering the user's mouth. The handle 50 is usually disposed on the opposite side of the nipple portion 20 with the collar portion 60 interposed therebetween. The handle 50 is required to be easily gripped when the user swallows the pacifier 10 from the nipple portion 20 side beyond the collar portion 60. This is because the pacifier 10 swallowed in the user's mouth can be quickly and reliably pulled out by putting a finger on the handle 50. For this reason, typically, the handle 50 protrudes from the base 30 with a certain length and is designed to be rotatable with respect to the base 30. However, the handle 50 that largely protrudes from the base 30 in this way may be deeply inserted into the mouth of the user and pierce the throat if the user swallows the pacifier 10 from the handle 50 side due to misuse.

On the other hand, according to the present embodiment, as described above, the flange portion 60 has three or more bulging

portions

62, 62, 63 bulging to the side opposite to the side where the nipple portion 20 is held. Contains. According to the pacifier 10 according to the present embodiment, when a user (such as an infant) misuses the pacifier 10 and holds the pacifier 10 from the handle 50 side, three or more bulging portions 62 are provided. , 62, and 63 can define a surface that comes into contact with the mouth of a user (such as an infant). This bulging portion bulges to the side opposite to the side where the

nipple portions

62, 62, 63 are held, that is, the side from which the handle 50 protrudes. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the length of the handle 50 entering the user's mouth during incorrect use, and to effectively prevent damage in the mouth due to the pacifier 10.

At the same time, the protruding length of the handle 50 from the base 30 is maintained. Therefore, when the user misuses the pacifier 10 and swallows the pacifier 10 from the nipple portion 20 side beyond the collar portion 60, the user can easily put his finger on the handle 50 having a sufficiently long protruding length. it can. Thereby, it is possible to quickly and reliably pull out the pacifier 10 from the mouth of the user during such misuse.

In the pacifier 10 according to the present embodiment, the thickness of the collar portion 60 as a whole is maintained. Therefore, the cost of the material used for the pacifier 10 is not increased.

In particular, in the present embodiment, when the pacifier 10 is observed from the side opposite to the side where the nipple portion 20 is held, on both sides of the virtual straight line extending on the rotation axis Lc of the handle 50, At least one or more bulging

portions

62 and 63 are respectively disposed. According to such a pacifier 10, when a user misuses the pacifier 10 and holds the pacifier 10 from the handle 50 side, the pacifier 10 comes into contact with the mouth of the user by a small number of

bulges

62 and 63. It becomes possible to define the surface to become. Thereby, the pacifier 10 can be maintained in a very simple configuration.

Further, the pacifier 10 is usually provided with a collar portion 60 extending outward from the base portion 30. However, when it is assumed that the nipple portion 20 of the pacifier 10 is held by the user (such as an infant) in the periphery of the base portion 30, the collar portion 60 is not provided on the user's head side. Alternatively, the protruding amount of the flange portion 60 from the base portion 30 as provided is very small. This is because if the collar portion 60 protrudes greatly on the user's head side, the collar portion 60 comes into contact with the user's nose. Therefore, when the pacifier 10 is used, when the handle 50 is rotated with respect to the base 30 and the handle 50 extends toward the user's head, the handle 50 is concealed by the collar portion 60. There is a possibility that the user's nose may be touched, and there is also a possibility that the user's nose may be struck.

On the other hand, according to the pacifier 10 according to the present embodiment, in a situation where an intended external force is not applied, the urging region A3 is exceeded from the first region A1 to the second region A2 or from the second region A2 to the first region A1. Thus, the rotation of the handle 50 with respect to the base 30 is restricted. Therefore, the handle 50 can be stably maintained in one of the first region A1 and the second region A2. Therefore, when the pacifier 10 is used, the rotation range of the handle 50 can be narrowed to a specific area so that the handle 50 does not extend in the direction toward the user's head. Thereby, when the pacifier 10 is used, it is possible to effectively suppress the handle 50 from coming into contact with the user's nose.

In particular, according to the present embodiment, the first area A1 includes a position where the handle 50 rotates with respect to the base 30 due to gravity when the pacifier 10 is held by the user, and the second area A2 Includes a position where the handle 50 extends from the base 30 in a direction toward the user's head when the pacifier 10 is assumed to be held by the user. According to such a pacifier 10, the handle 50 can be stably maintained in the first region A1 when the nipple portion 20 of the pacifier 10 is included in the mouth of the user. Thereby, it is possible to effectively prevent the handle 50 from unintentionally rotating from the first area A1 to the second area A2 and extending toward the user's head side. .

Further, in the present embodiment, a protruding portion 58 is provided on at least one of the shaft portions 56 of the handle 50. When the handle 50 rotates with respect to the base 30 and reaches the biasing area A3 from the first area A1 or the second area A2, the protrusion 58 contacts the base 30. It is biased toward either the first area A1 or the second area A2. According to such a pacifier 10, the urging region A3 including the dead point can be formed with a simple configuration. Further, the first region A1 and the second region A2 are formed on both sides of the formed biasing region A3.

Furthermore, the nipple part 20 of the pacifier 10 is usually formed in a hollow shape. In the conventional pacifier, the dust, liquid, and the like that have entered cannot be completely removed from the nipple portion 20. The nipple portion 20 is a portion included in the mouth of a user (such as an infant), and naturally needs to be kept clean. In addition, dust, liquid, and the like remaining inside the nipple portion 20 excessively worried the anxiety of a guardian (eg, an infant's parent) who protects a user (such as an infant).

On the other hand, in the pacifier 10 according to the present embodiment, an opening 35 is formed on the side of the base portion 30 opposite to the side that holds the nipple portion 20. And the opening 35 is arrange | positioned in the position which faces the hollow inside of the nipple part 20, and is connected to the said hollow inside. According to such a pacifier 10, by using the opening 35 as a cleaning opening for cleaning the inside of the nipple part 20, the inside of the nipple part 20 can be easily cleaned, and the nipple part 20 is cleaned. Can be maintained. In particular, when the opening 35 faces the hollow interior of the nipple portion 20 along the direction La in which the nipple portion 20 protrudes from the base 30, for example, a cotton swab is inserted into the nipple portion 20 through the opening 35. Thus, dirt and the like attached to the inside of the nipple portion 20 can be easily scraped off. Thereby, the pacifier 10 can be kept in an extremely clean state, which is very preferable for hygiene, and gives a sense of security to the guardian (for example, the parent of the infant) of the user (infant etc.) of the pacifier 10. Can do.

In particular, in the present embodiment, the base portion is movable between a closed position (see FIG. 1) for closing the opening 35 of the base portion 30 and an open position (see FIG. 2) for opening the opening 35 of the base portion 30. A lid 40 held by 30 is provided. According to such a pacifier 10, the inside of the nipple part 20 can be easily and carefully cleaned as described above by moving the lid 40 to the open position. In addition, when the pacifier 10 is not cleaned, it is possible to prevent liquid or dust from entering the nipple portion 20 by moving the lid 40 to the closed position.

It should be noted that such a lid 40 is expected to move unintentionally from the closed position. In this case, there is an increased possibility that liquid, dust or the like may enter the nipple portion 20 through the opening 35. In addition, the lid 40 protrudes from the base 30, and the lid 40 protruding from the base 30 may come into contact with the user. Further, the lid 40 protruding from the base 30 pokes the user. There is even a fear of end. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, when the handle 50 that can move in the first region A1 and the second region A2 is located in the first region A1, the lid 40 moves from the closed position. Are now regulated. According to such a pacifier 10, by arranging the handle 50 in the first region A1, it is possible to prevent the lid body 40 from unintentionally moving from the closed position. That is, the lid 40 can be kept in the closed position by arranging the handle 50 in the first region A1. Thereby, it can suppress that the cover body 40 rotates with respect to the base 30 unintentionally, and the cover body 40 will be in the state protruded from the base 30. FIG.

In the present embodiment, when the handle 50 is located in the biasing area A3 between the first area A1 and the second area A2, the handle 50 is either the first area A1 or the second area A2. It has come to be urged towards. According to such a pacifier 10, in a situation where an intended external force is not applied, the handle 50 moves from the first region A1 to the second region A2 or from the second region A2 to the first region A1 over the biasing region A3. Rotation with respect to the base 30 can be prevented very effectively. Thereby, the handle | steering-wheel 50 can be stably maintained in 1st area | region A1, and the movement from the closed position of the cover body 40 can be controlled effectively.

Further, as described above, in the present embodiment, the protruding portion 58 is provided on at least one of the shaft portions 56 of the handle 50. When the handle 50 rotates with respect to the base 30 and reaches the biasing area A3 from the first area A1 or the second area A2, the protrusion 58 contacts the base 30. It is biased toward either the first area A1 or the second area A2. According to such a pacifier 10, the urging region A3 including the dead point can be formed with a simple configuration. Further, the first region A1 and the second region A2 are formed on both sides of the formed biasing region A3.

Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the lid body 40 arranged at the closed position is positioned between both ends of the handle 50 in the direction along the rotation axis Lc of the handle 50. Further, the lid 40 is configured to slide with respect to the base 30 by rotating with respect to the base 30. When the handle 50 is located in the first region A1, at least a part of the handle 50 is located in the vicinity of at least a part of the lid 40 disposed in the closed position along the sliding direction of the lid 40. It is like that. According to such a pacifier 10, a mechanism for restricting the rotation of the lid 40 using the handle 50 can be realized with a simple configuration.

Further, in the present embodiment, the first area A1 includes a position where the handle 50 rotates with respect to the base 30 due to gravity when the pacifier 10 is held by the user, and the second area A2 includes When it is assumed that the pacifier 10 is held by the user, the handle 50 includes a position where the handle 50 extends from the base 30 in a direction toward the user's head. According to such a pacifier 10, the handle 50 can be stably maintained in the first region A1 when the nipple portion 20 of the pacifier 10 is contained in the mouth of the user. Thereby, the movement from the closed position of the cover body 40 can be controlled effectively.

Furthermore, according to the present embodiment, the convex portion 36 is provided on one of the base portion 30 and the lid body 40, and the concave portion 42 that can be engaged with the convex portion 36 is formed on the other side of the base portion 30 and the lid body 40. When the body 40 is located at the closed position, the convex portion 36 and the concave portion 42 are engaged with each other, and the lid body 40 is locked to the base portion 30. According to such a pacifier 10, it can suppress that the cover body 40 moves from a closed position unintentionally, and can hold | maintain the cover body 40 in a closed position. By combining with the configuration that restricts the rotation of the lid 40 using the handle 50 described above, the lid 40 can be securely held in the closed position.

Further, usually, a string-like member 70, for example, a pacifier holder used for preventing the pacifier from falling to the ground or losing the pacifier is often attached to the rotatable handle 50 of the pacifier 10. The string-like member 70 slides on the handle 50 and easily moves to the end of the handle 50 that is rotatably held by the base 30. When the string-like member 70 moves to the end of the handle 50, the string-like member 70 may restrict the rotation of the handle 50, or may cause the handle 50 to turn unintentionally.

On the other hand, according to the present embodiment, the groove portion 53 is formed in the handle 50 at a position separated from the end portion rotatably held by the base portion 30. When the string-like member 70 is attached to the groove portion 53 of the handle 50, the string-like member 70 can be prevented from moving on the handle 50. As a result, when the pacifier 10 is used or handled during cleaning, the string-like member 70 moves to the end of the handle 50 that is rotatably held by the base 30 and restricts the rotation of the handle 50. This problem can be effectively prevented.

In particular, in the present embodiment, a pair of protrusions 54 provided on the handle 50 form a groove 53 between the pair of protrusions 54. According to such a pacifier 10, the groove 53 can be formed with a simple configuration.

Note that various modifications can be made to the above-described embodiment. Hereinafter, an example of modification will be described.

For example, in the above-described embodiment, the lid 40 disposed in the closed position is positioned between the handles 50 in the direction along the rotation axis Lc of the handle 50, and the lid 40 slides with respect to the base 30. Although an example is possible, it is not limited to this. As an example, it can change as shown in FIG. 13 and FIG. In the example shown in FIGS. 13 and 14, the lid body 40 a arranged in the closed position is located between the handles 50 in the direction along the rotation axis Lc of the handle 50. The lid 40a is rotatable (swingable) with respect to the base 30 about an axis Lf substantially parallel to the rotation axis Lc of the handle 50 with respect to the base 30. In this example, the lid portion 41a of the lid body 40a is thick on both sides along the lateral direction. As a result, as shown in FIG. 13, when the handle 50 is located in the first area A1, at least a part of the handle 50 is disposed in the closed position along the rotational direction of the lid 40a. It comes to be located in the vicinity of at least a part of 40 (that is, a thick part on both sides of the lid 41a). Thereby, when the handle | steering-wheel 50 is located in 1st area | region A1, it becomes possible to control that the cover body 40a moves from a closed position. Further, since the thickness of the lid portion 41a at the center portion along the lateral direction is thin, the handle portion 50 is disposed between the handle body 50 and the lid body 40a projecting to the other side along the projecting direction La of the nipple portion 20. A sufficient gap for placing a finger on 50 can also be formed.

The example shown in FIGS. 13 and 14 is substantially the same as the above-described embodiment except for the configuration of the lid. In FIG. 13 and FIG. 14, the same reference numerals are given to the same parts as those in the above-described embodiment, and the detailed description thereof is omitted.

In the above-described embodiment, an example is shown in which the groove 53 is formed between the pair of protrusions 54 by the pair of protrusions 54 provided on the handle 50, but is not limited thereto. For example, the groove portion may be formed by making the thickness of a part of the main body 51 of the handle 50 thinner than the thickness of other parts.

Furthermore, although the example which forms the bulging

parts

62 and 63 by locally increasing the thickness of the collar part 60 was shown in embodiment mentioned above, it is not restricted to this, For example, the bulging

parts

62 and 63 are shown. A recess may be formed in the collar portion 60 from the side where the nipple portion 20 is held, and the thickness of the collar portion 60 may be made substantially constant.
