Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of infant and toddler products technology, specifically to an elastic pacifier. Background Technology

[0002] Pacifiers are mostly used by infants and young children. The inventor discovered that current pacifiers have defects in use. For example, when the nipple is bitten or pulled, the entire nipple is in a relatively tight state. If the infant bites too hard, it may cause tooth / gum deformation. Therefore, there is an urgent need to design a new pacifier to address the above defects. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To address the problem of weak overall deformation ability of current pacifiers, this invention provides an elastic pacifier.

[0004] The technical solution of this invention is as follows:

[0005] On one hand, the present invention provides an elastic pacifier, characterized in that: it includes...

[0006] Milk shield component, including the open end;

[0007] A base ring assembly is disposed on one side of the open end;

[0008] An annular bending elastic element connects the open end to the base ring assembly;

[0009] The base ring assembly includes a support ring and an outer ring that surrounds the support ring; the outer ring is connected to the annular bending elastic element; the hardness of the support ring is greater than the hardness of the outer ring.

[0010] Furthermore, the milk shield component, the annular bending elastic component, and the outer ring are integrally formed and connected.

[0011] Furthermore, the milk shield component, the annular bending elastic component, and the outer ring are all made of the same material;

[0012] And / or, the material of the milk shield, the annular bending elastic element, and the outer ring is one or more of silicone, latex, and rubber.

[0013] Furthermore, the support ring is made of plastic, while the milk shield, the annular bending elastic element, and the outer ring are made of silicone.

[0014] Furthermore, the annular bending elastic element includes at least one elastic ring with a C-shaped cross-section, the top end of the elastic ring being connected to the open end, and the bottom end of the elastic ring being connected to the base ring assembly.

[0015] Furthermore, the milk shield includes an interconnected mouthpiece and an arc-shaped cover.

[0016] Furthermore, the arc-shaped cover is provided with several through holes;

[0017] And / or, a gripper is connected to the base ring assembly, the extension direction of the gripper being opposite to the extension direction of the milk shield.

[0018] Furthermore, the mouthpiece has an annular cross-section, and the annular shape has front and back sides and left and right sides, with the thickness of the front and back sides being greater than the thickness of the left and right sides.

[0019] Furthermore, the milk shield component has front and rear arcuate surfaces and left and right arcuate surfaces, and the maximum length of the left and right arcuate surfaces is greater than the maximum length of the front and rear arcuate surfaces.

[0020] Furthermore, the cross-section of the mouthpiece is elliptical, with the major axis of the ellipse forming the left and right sides, and the minor axis forming the front and back sides.

[0021] The beneficial effects achieved by this invention are as follows:

[0022] The elastic pacifier of the present invention includes a milk shield, the milk shield includes an open end, a base ring assembly is provided on one side of the open end, and the open end and the base ring assembly are connected by an annular bending elastic element; wherein, the base ring assembly includes a support ring and an outer ring that wraps around the support ring, the outer ring is connected to the annular bending elastic element, and the hardness of the support ring is greater than the hardness of the outer ring.

[0023] The milk shield includes an open end to ensure good deformability. One side of the open end is connected to the base ring assembly via a ring-shaped bending elastic element. For example, when the base ring assembly is held and the milk shield is subjected to a pulling force, the milk shield deforms, and the ring-shaped bending elastic element also deforms along with it, thereby improving the deformation effect and providing elastic cushioning. The base ring assembly includes a support ring and an outer ring that surrounds the support ring. The support ring is harder than the outer ring, thus providing greater support force through the support ring, while the outer ring is used to achieve soft contact with the child, improving its comfort.

Detailed Implementation

[0034] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0035] The following disclosure provides numerous different embodiments or examples for implementing various structures of this application. To simplify the disclosure, specific examples of components and arrangements are described below. These are merely examples and are not intended to limit the scope of this application. Furthermore, reference numerals and / or letters may be repeated in different examples. Such repetition is for simplification and clarity and does not in itself indicate a relationship between the various embodiments and / or arrangements discussed.

[0036] For ease of description, spatial relative terms may be used in this text to describe the relative position or movement of one element or feature relative to another element or feature, as shown in the figure. These relative terms include, for example, "inside," "outside," "middle," "outer," "below," "below," "above," "front," "back," etc. Such spatial relative terms are intended to include different orientations of the device in use or operation, other than those depicted in the figure. For example, if the device in the figure undergoes a positional flip, orientation change, or change of motion, these directional indications will change accordingly. For instance, an element described as "below other elements or features" or "below other elements or features" will subsequently be oriented "above other elements or features" or "above other elements or features." Therefore, the example term "below" can include both upper and lower orientations. The device may be otherwise oriented (rotated 90 degrees or in other directions), and the spatial relative descriptors used in this text will be interpreted accordingly.

[0037] This application discloses an elastic pacifier, including a milk shield 100. The milk shield 100 includes an open end 110, and a base ring assembly 200 is disposed on one side of the open end 110. The open end 110 and the base ring assembly 200 are connected by an annular bending elastic member 300. The base ring assembly 200 includes a support ring 210 and an outer ring 220 that surrounds the support ring 210. The outer ring 220 is connected to the annular bending elastic member 300. The hardness of the support ring 210 is greater than the hardness of the outer ring 220.

[0038] In this embodiment, the milk shield 100 can be understood as having the same shape as a milk shield and being used by infants for sucking or chewing. The milk shield 100 includes an open end 110 to ensure good deformability. One side of the open end 110 is connected to the base ring assembly 200 via an annular bending elastic element 300. For example, when the base ring assembly 200 is held and the milk shield 100 is subjected to a pulling force, the milk shield 100 deforms, and the annular bending elastic element 300 also deforms along with it, thereby improving the deformation effect and playing an elastic buffering role. The base ring assembly 200 includes a support ring 210 and an outer ring 220 that surrounds the support ring 210. The hardness of the support ring 210 is greater than that of the outer ring 220, thereby providing greater support force through the support ring 210, while the outer ring 220 is used to achieve soft contact with the infant, improving its comfort.

[0039] It is important to emphasize that a support ring 210 is required to provide greater support for use and facilitate gripping. However, when the nipple shield 100 is subjected to tensile force, it only has the deformation capacity of the nipple shield 100 itself, which is relatively weak. This can lead to excessive tightness and cause the teeth to deform easily. By setting an annular bending elastic element 300, better elastic cushioning is provided, thereby preventing tooth deformation that may occur during nipple use.

[0040] Optionally, the outer ring 220 wrapping the support ring 210 can be understood as fully wrapping, semi-wrapping, or partially wrapping; preferably, it is fully wrapping to provide better connection stability and improve service life.

[0041] In an optional or preferred embodiment, the milk shield 100, the annular bending elastic element 300, and the outer ring 220 are integrally formed and connected, which simplifies the manufacturing process and helps to achieve good connection stability.

[0042] In an optional or preferred embodiment, the milk shield 100, the annular bending elastic element 300, and the outer ring 220 are made of the same material, which facilitates one-piece molding, such as direct one-piece overmolding or one-piece injection molding; optionally, the milk shield 100, the annular bending elastic element 300, and the outer ring 220 are made of one or more of silicone, latex, and rubber to ensure that the material is suitable for use by young children; preferably, the milk shield 100, the annular bending elastic element 300, and the outer ring 220 are made of silicone.

[0043] In an optional or preferred embodiment, the support ring 210 is made of plastic to provide good support and facilitate overall weight reduction. Meanwhile, the nipple shield 100, the annular bending elastic element 300, and the outer ring 220 are made of silicone, which is beneficial to their connection stability. Optionally, the support ring 210 can also be made of other materials with certain support, while ensuring that the nipple meets the requirements of national standard testing.

[0044] In an optional or preferred embodiment, the annular bending elastic element 300 has at least one elastic ring with a C-shaped cross-section. The top end of the elastic ring is connected to the open end 110, and the bottom end of the elastic ring is connected to the base ring assembly 200. The C-shaped bending structure provides the annular bending elastic element 300 with good elasticity. Preferably, as shown... Figure 3 , Figure 5 As shown, the C-shaped annular bending elastic element 300 is connected to the open end 110 and the base ring assembly 200 by an arc-shaped transition. Preferably, as shown... Figure 3 , Figure 5As shown, its C-shaped opening is flat, which can reduce the axial length and provide better elastic deformation capability; at the same time, the C-shape here can be understood as approximating the C-shape, and similar structures that can enhance elasticity based on its deformation, such as S-shape, transverse U-shape, V-shape, W-shape, etc., should also be within the scope of protection.

[0045] In an optional or preferred embodiment, the milk shield 100 includes a mouthpiece 120 and an arc-shaped shield 130 connected to each other, wherein the mouthpiece 120 is used to enter the mouth and the arc-shaped shield 130 is used to contact the face; the outer end of the arc-shaped shield 130 is also the opening end 110.

[0046] In an optional or preferred embodiment, the arc-shaped cover 130 is provided with a plurality of through holes 131, which can be used for ventilation and weight reduction.

[0047] In an optional or preferred embodiment, a gripper 230 is connected to the base ring assembly 200, and the extension direction of the gripper 230 is opposite to the extension direction of the milk shield 100, so as to facilitate gripping.

[0048] In an optional or preferred embodiment, the mouthpiece 120 has an annular cross-section, and the annular shape has front and back sides 121 and left and right sides 122. The thickness of the front and back sides 121 is greater than the thickness of the left and right sides 122, thereby making the sucking feel fleshy, with little front and back elasticity, and without hindering the eruption of deciduous teeth.

[0049] In an optional or preferred embodiment, the milk shield 100 has a front and rear arcuate surface 140 and a left and right arcuate surface 150, wherein the maximum length of the left and right arcuate surface 150 is greater than the maximum length of the front and rear arcuate surface 140.

[0050] In this embodiment, the maximum length of the left and right arc surfaces 150 is longer than the maximum length of the front and rear arc surfaces 140. This matches the fact that the thickness of the front and rear sides 121 of the mouth 120 cross section is greater than the thickness of the left and right sides 122, making the thinner parts of the mouth 120 easier to deform, which is beneficial for sucking and biting actions. As shown in the figure, the arc length can also be understood as the axial extension length.

[0051] In a preferred embodiment, the through hole 131 is formed on the left and right arc-shaped surfaces 150, making it easier to deform.

[0052] In an optional or preferred embodiment, the mouthpiece 120 has an elliptical cross-section, with the two ends of the major axis of the ellipse being the left and right sides 122 and the two ends of the minor axis of the ellipse being the front and back sides 121. This shape is adapted to the shape of the mouth, further facilitating sucking, biting, and other actions, and helps to ensure a certain level of support in thin areas.

[0053] In an optional or preferred embodiment, the mouthpiece 120 has an elliptical cross-section, with the two ends of the short axis of the ellipse being the left and right sides 122 and the two ends of the long axis of the ellipse being the front and back sides 121. This adapts to the shape of the mouth, further facilitating sucking, biting, and other actions, and helps to further improve the ability of thin areas to deform more easily.

[0054] In an optional or preferred embodiment, the mouthpiece 120 has a circular cross-section.
