Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a storage box, and more particularly to a pacifier storage box. Background Technology

[0002] Pacifiers are effective in soothing infants and young children and are indispensable comfort devices for raising toddlers. However, pacifiers provide a soothing effect by being sucked in the mouth and will enter the mouth. Therefore, they need to be stored properly to avoid contamination with bacteria or viruses. Ensuring the safety and hygiene of pacifiers and preventing diseases from entering through the mouth is a very important issue.

[0003] For example, Taiwan Patent Publication No. M519961, "Improved Structure of Pacifier Clip Storage Box", Taiwan Patent Publication No. M585072, "Pacifier Clip Storage Box (I)", and Taiwan Patent Publication No. M595412, "Pacifier Storage Box", disclose various pacifier storage boxes that can be used to store pacifiers.

[0004] However, as mentioned above, conventional pacifier storage boxes cannot completely store pacifiers. The non-sucking parts of the pacifier will be exposed, still at risk of contamination with bacteria or viruses. For infants and young children who lack hygiene awareness, there is still a risk of indirect contact and infection through the mouth.

[0005] Therefore, as disclosed in Taiwan Patent Publication No. M540541, a "pacifier storage box," a fully enclosed storage design with a base and lid can completely store pacifiers without contact with the outside. However, to prevent pacifiers from falling out during use, a pacifier chain is often used. While this fully enclosed storage structure can store the pacifier chain as well, the chain is often not cleaned frequently enough, which could lead to the chain being contaminated with bacteria or viruses. Storing the pacifier chain together with the pacifier poses an additional risk.

[0006] This means that the pacifier chain needs to be removed and reattached before and after each use to prevent the unclean chain from contaminating the pacifier and causing hygiene concerns. However, removing and reattaching the pacifier chain each time is not only quite troublesome, but the pacifier or pacifier chain is also prone to being lost, causing inconvenience in use. Utility Model Content

[0007] The main purpose of this utility model is to disclose a pacifier storage box that does not require disassembly or reassembly of the pacifier chain before and after use, and can store the pacifier in stages according to the usage situation.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a pacifier storage box for storing a pacifier. The pacifier has a sucking part and a stop part connecting to the sucking part. The pacifier storage box includes a receiving box and a lid. The receiving box has a box body, a receiving space, and an opening. The receiving space is located inside the box body, and the opening is located on the surface of the box body and connected to the receiving space. The box body has at least one flange and a retaining flange near the opening. The at least one flange extends inward toward the receiving space, and the retaining flange surrounds the receiving space on the outer side near the opening. The stop part of the pacifier is pressed through the at least one flange and locked in place by the at least one flange, thereby placing and fixing the sucking part of the pacifier into the receiving space. The lid extends into a cap that surrounds the lid and is secured to the edge of the cap, further allowing the lid and the container to cover the pacifier together. The cap of the lid has at least one recessed notch at the edge of the container adjacent to the cap, through which a pacifier chain passes. The lid also has at least one opening for threading a lanyard. The circumferential side of the cap protrudes outward to form at least one protrusion. The at least one opening is formed adjacent to the at least one protrusion and the lid, and is adjacent to the at least one recessed notch. Attached Figure Description

[0016] The detailed description and technical content of this utility model are as follows, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings:

[0017] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, this utility model is a pacifier storage box for storing a pacifier 10. The pacifier 10 has a sucking part 11 and a stop part 12, and the stop part 12 is connected to the sucking part 11. Furthermore, the end of the stop part 12 away from the sucking part 11 can be designed in various ways according to requirements, such as... Figure 2 The lanyard 13 shown can also be of other types, such as a pull ring (not shown), a raised plate (not shown), etc. Furthermore, the pacifier 10 can have at least one vent 14, which serves as an airflow channel to address the risk of choking in case of accidental ingestion.

[0018] The pacifier storage box includes a receiving box 20 and a lid 30. The shapes of the receiving box 20 and the lid 30 correspond to the shape of the pacifier 10, reducing its size for easy storage. The receiving box 20 has a body 21, a receiving space 22, and an opening 23. The receiving space 22 is located inside the receiving box 21, and the opening 23 is located on the surface of the receiving box 21 and connected to the receiving space 22. Near the opening 23, the receiving box 21 extends at least one flange 211 from its inner side toward the receiving space 22. When the pacifier 10 is to be placed in the receiving space 22 of the receiving box 20, the stop portion 12 of the pacifier 10 will be squeezed through the at least one flange 211 and locked in place by the at least one flange 211, thereby inserting and fixing the sucking portion 11 of the pacifier 10 into the receiving space 22 (e.g., Figure 3 (As shown). In one embodiment, there are four flanges 211, which are arranged around the inner side of the housing 21 and are evenly distributed within the housing 21. In this way, the stop portion 12 of the pacifier 10 can be squeezed through the at least one flange 211 and positioned within the receiving space 22 without applying too much pressure, thus ensuring that it does not fall off.

[0019] The box body 21 has a retaining edge 212 on its outer side near the opening 23, and the retaining edge 212 surrounds the receiving space 22; in one embodiment, the retaining edge 212 extends away from the receiving space 22. Preferably, the box lid 30 is cap-shaped, with a cap body 31 extending from the box lid 30, the cap body 31 surrounding the box lid 30, and the diameter of the cap body 31 being slightly larger than that of the box lid 30 and protruding outward. An inner surface 311 of the cap body 31 has at least one inwardly protruding rib 312. In one embodiment, there are four ribs 312. Preferably, the at least one rib 312 is distributed at equal angles on the inner surface 311. At least one protruding rib 312 presses through the retaining edge 212, causing the cap 31 to be correspondingly secured to the retaining edge 212, thereby combining and fixing the receiving box 20 and the box lid 30, so that the box lid 30 and the receiving box 20 together cover the pacifier 10 (e.g., Figure 3 (As shown).

[0020] Please see Figure 4 The diagram illustrates a usage scenario of this invention. In this scenario, the pacifier 10 has a pacifier chain 40 wrapped around its lug 13. The pacifier chain 40 can be connected to a clamp 60, which is used to secure the pacifier to the infant's clothing. This usage scenario assumes the pacifier 10 will be used for a short period. Therefore, only the housing 20 is needed to cover the sucking portion 11 of the pacifier 10 for quick removal or storage, allowing for multiple uses within a short time. Operationally, the stop portion 12 of the pacifier 10 is pressed through the at least one flange 211, and the stop portion 12 is locked in place by the flange 211. In this way, the sucking part 11 of the pacifier 10 will be inserted into the receiving space 22 and covered by the receiving box 20, completing the first stage of storage, which can prevent the sucking part 11 from being exposed and thus avoid getting contaminated with germs.

[0021] Additionally, such as Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the lid 30 can be provided with at least one opening 32. In practice, the ring side of the cap 31 partially protrudes outward to form at least one protrusion 313. The at least one opening 32 is formed at the junction of the at least one protrusion 313 and the lid 30. The at least one opening 32 can accommodate a hanging cord 50 (e.g., Figure 5 As shown, the lanyard 50 can be connected to a clip 61 to secure the pacifier to a stroller or backpack (not shown), preventing the lid 30 from falling off. This not only prevents the lid 30 from being lost but also reduces the likelihood of it becoming dirty from a fall, thus avoiding indirect contamination of the pacifier 10 and keeping it clean. Furthermore, the at least one opening 32 can also be used to hang name tags with personal information, easily identifiable or easily graspable decorations, etc., according to the user's needs, allowing the user to quickly locate the lid 30.

[0022] Please see Figure 6 The diagram shows another usage scenario of this utility model. In this scenario, the pacifier 10 is not expected to be used for a short period of time. The cap 31 of the box cover 30 has at least one recessed notch 314 at the edge 212 of the adjacent box body 21 for the pacifier chain 40 to pass through (see reference). Figure 2 (As shown). Thus, the nipple chain 40 can pass through the at least one recessed notch 314, so the pacifier 10 does not need to remove the nipple chain 40 to close the lid 30, allowing the lid 30 and the container 20 to cover the pacifier 10 together, completing the second stage of storage.

[0023] Please see Figure 7The diagram shown is an exploded view of another embodiment of the present invention, illustrating a pacifier 10A shaped like a heart. This pacifier 10A also includes the sucking portion 11 and the stop portion 12. In this embodiment, the pacifier storage box includes a receiving box 20A corresponding to the shape of the pacifier 10A and a box lid 30A.

[0024] The container 20A also has the same structure as the container body 21, the accommodating space 22, and the opening 23. Furthermore, the container 20A has at least one vent 24, and the pacifier 10A also has at least one vent 14. The at least one vent 14 is positioned corresponding to the vent 24 and penetrates the stop portion 12, while the at least one vent 24 penetrates the container body 21. Thus, the at least one vent 14 and the at least one vent 24 form an airflow channel, which can prevent the risk of suffocation in case of accidental swallowing, thereby increasing safety during use.

[0025] The housing 21 also extends at least one flange 211 from its inner side toward the receiving space 22. In this embodiment, there are four flanges 211. Therefore, the stop portion 12 of the pacifier 10A will be squeezed through the at least one flange 211 and locked in place by the at least one flange 211, so that the sucking portion 11 of the pacifier 10A is inserted and fixed in the receiving space 22, completing the first stage of storage.

[0026] Additionally, the lid 30A also has a cap 31, and the cap 31 has at least one protruding rib 312. In this embodiment, the number of the at least one protruding rib 312 is four. The box body 21 also has a retaining edge 212 on the outer side near the opening 23. Therefore, the at least one protruding rib 312 is pressed through the retaining edge 212, so that the cap 31 is correspondingly locked to the retaining edge 212, thereby combining and fixing the accommodating box 20A and the lid 30A, so that the lid 30A and the accommodating box 20A together cover the pacifier 10A, completing the second stage of storage.

[0027] Therefore, this invention can minimize the pacifier 10's contact with external contamination, thereby reducing the likelihood of the pacifier 10 being contaminated by external germs. Similarly, the lid 30 has at least one opening 32 for the hanging cord 50 to pass through. Furthermore, the at least one opening 32 is adjacent to the at least one recessed notch 314, which increases the convenience of use.

[0028] In summary, this utility model has the following characteristics:

[0029] 1. The stop portion of the pacifier can be squeezed through the at least one flange, allowing the stop portion to be locked and fixed by the at least one flange. In this way, the sucking part of the pacifier will extend into the receiving space and be covered by the receiving box, completing the first stage of storage, which can prevent the sucking part from being exposed and thus avoid contamination with germs.

[0030] Second, the design with at least one recessed notch allows the pacifier to be closed without removing the pacifier chain, increasing ease of use.

[0031] Third, the lid and the container can cover the pacifier together to complete the second stage of storage, which can minimize the pacifier's contact with external contamination and reduce the possibility of the pacifier being contaminated by external germs.

[0032] Fourth, the lid has at least one opening, through which the hanging rope can pass, which can prevent the lid from being lost and reduce the chance of the lid getting dirty due to falling.

[0033] 5. When the container and the lid are used together, at least one opening on the cap body allows the hanging rope to pass through, ensuring that the lid will not fall off and thus avoid indirectly contaminating the pacifier, allowing the pacifier to remain clean.

[0034] 6. The shape of the container and the lid can correspond to the shape of the pacifier, so it can be used for pacifiers of various shapes and can reduce the size for easy storage.

[0035] 7. The container and the pacifier are designed with at least one vent hole and at least one air hole respectively, which can form an airflow channel to avoid the risk of suffocation in case of accidental swallowing.

[0036] Of course, there may be other embodiments of this utility model. Without departing from the spirit and essence of this utility model, those skilled in the art can make various corresponding changes and modifications based on this utility model, but these corresponding changes and modifications should all fall within the protection scope of the appended claims of this utility model.
