Деформируемая защитная оболочка детской соски-пустышки, предназначенная для защиты соска от загрязнения

Номер: RU0000195386U1

Полезная модель относится к медицинской технике, а именно к соскам-пустышкам, предназначенным для детей грудного и ясельного возраста. Сущность полезной модели состоит в том, что деформируемая защитная оболочка (1) детской соски-пустышки (2), предназначенная для защиты соска (3) от загрязнения, выполненная из эластичного материала и прикрепленная к нагубнику (4), содержащая отверстие (8) для введения соска (3) и имеющая два рабочих положения: первое (9), в котором оболочка (1) закрывает сосок (3) и второе (10), в котором сосок (3) открыт и соска (2) может быть вставлена в рот ребенка, имеет форму кольца с диаметром, превышающим длину соска (3), и выполнена съемной, закрепляемой на стволовой части (5) соска (3) путем поворота кольца вокруг своей центральной оси, в стенке кольца с противоположных сторон выполнено два продолговатых отверстия: первое (7), служащее для крепления кольца на стволовой части (5) соска (3) и второе (8) - для введения соска (3) при изменении рабочего положения один (9) на рабочее положение два (10), при этом первое отверстие (7) получено путем слияния центрального отверстия округлой формы с двумя продолговатыми отверстиями, лежащими с ним на одной оси и расположенными по разные стороны от него, причем диаметр центрального отверстия больше, чем ширина соска (3), а продолговатые отверстия имеют разную ширину, равную ширине стволовой части (5) соска (3) разных типоразмеров; второе отверстие (8) по ширине больше, чем ширина соска (3), а длина и расположение позволяют соску (3) свободно проходить через него при изменении рабочего положения один (9) на положение два (10).

Сущность полезной модели состоит в том, что защитная оболочка детской соски-пустышки, предназначенная для защиты соски от загрязнения, снабжена сменной накладкой, выполненной в виде многослойной структуры, тонкие, эластичные слои которой соединены между собой и с защитной оболочкой клеевым слоем, при этом соединение слоев многослойной структуры выполнено клеем для временного приклеивания, а прочность склеивания позволяет многослойной структуре сохранять единство в процессе использования, но не препятствует отделению слоев. Слои накладки выполнены из резины, латекса или силикона разной длины, при этом наиболее удаленный от оболочки слой имеет наименьшую, а непосредственно примыкающий к ней - наибольшую длину, таким образом, края слоев накладки образуют ступени.

СЪЁМНАЯ ЗАЩИТНАЯ ОБОЛОЧКА ДЕТСКОЙ СОСКИ-ПУСТЫШКИ

Номер: RU0000201854U1

Полезная модель относится к медицинской технике, а именно к соскам-пустышкам, предназначенным для детей грудного и ясельного возраста. Поставленная задача решается за счет того, что в съемной защитной оболочке детской соски-пустышки, выполненной в форме кольца из упругоэластичного материала с диаметром, превышающим длину соска, в стенке которого с противоположных сторон имеются два соосно расположенных отверстия, первое из которых служит для крепления кольца на стволовой части соски, а второе - для свободного пропуска соска в деформированном и распрямленном положениях оболочки. При этом первое из отверстий выполнено в виде сквозной линейной прорези стенки кольца, равноудаленной от его торцов, которые, в свою очередь, снабжены лепестками-захватами, выступающими за боковые габариты кольца, длина которых обеспечивает их надежную фиксацию руками при раскрытии прорези. Кроме того, посредине прорези выполнено отверстие округлой формы для взаимодействия со стволовой частью соска, расположенное соосно отверстию для свободного пропуска соска в деформированном и распрямленном положениях оболочки. Технический результат полезной модели состоит в том, что замена формы отверстий, выполненных в оболочке прототипа, на прорезь и округлое отверстие с размером, несколько превышающим ширину соска, позволяет упростить технологию изготовления оболочки за счет использования инструментов с более простой конфигурацией режущей части. Эти же особенности ведут к повышению степени универсальности использования оболочки, расширяя диапазон использования сосок с различным размером стволовой части. 3 ил.

Автор: Caputo Caroline E.
Принадлежит:

The present invention contemplates a variety of apparatuses for a teething and gum soothing device. The teething and gum soothing device relieves gum and mouth soreness for infants, toddlers, elementary school children, orthodontic patients, etc. The teething/gum soothing device is filled with water and partially or completely frozen depending on preference. Some freezing and in-mouth melting allows for a pliable device, which molds to an individual's mouth and may be fitted around orthodontic devices such as braces.

An infant medicine dispenser may have a pacifier and a cover. The pacifier may be formed with an opening at a distal tip of a nipple of the pacifier. The nipple of the pacifier may also be hollow to store liquid medicine to be administered to an infant. The opening at the distal tip of the nipple may form a generally liquid tight seal which holds the liquid medicine within the interior reservoir of the nipple, but allows the liquid medicine to flow there through upon sucking. The back side of the pacifier may have an opening through which the liquid medicine is poured into the interior reservoir. The opening may be sealed with a cover to prevent spills if the infant medicine dispenser is inadvertently knocked out of the infant's mouth.

PACIFIER

Uni-molded pacifier includes nipple, stem, shield and typically a handle. The stem includes a round surface, as in classically designed pacifiers, or may be orthodontically shaped, extending proximally and longitudinally into a base which in turn is blended into a shield. Change in the base to stem contact angle lowers the applied force to the stem as compared to traditional pacifier stems and bases. The decrease in applied force to the stem equates to less pressure needed to compress the stem thru sucking activity. The shield, in this uni-molded pacifier, also has an increase in the area and mass of the center surface. This decreases diameter of the posterior mouth of the shield opening to a lumen of the base and stem which has an added benefit to make it more difficult for debris to enter the lumen. If desired there is no posterior mouth. 1. A pacifier comprising:a shield, a base, and a nipple,the nipple comprising a stem for insertion into an infant's mouth and a closed distal end, the stem having longitudinal sidewalls,the shield, the base, and the nipple being longitudinally aligned,the base extending longitudinally from the shield,the nipple extending longitudinally from the base;the base having a top wall, the top wall of the base having a slope line which intersects a longitudinal axis of the stem at an angle β (beta) of 55 to 120 degrees,wherein the nipple, base, and shield define a hollow lumen comprising a nipple portion of the lumen, a base portion of the lumen, and a shield portion of the lumen.2.
