Abstract
The invention is directed broadly to a pacifier comprising a resilient body protruding distally from a shield to which the resilient body is attached at a proximal portion of the resilient body wherein a distal portion of the resilient body is substantially closed, the resilient body being configured to be received in an infant's mouth; wherein an upper surface of the resilient body intermediate of the proximal and distal portions is provided with a curved portion configured to conform to an infant's palate; and a lower surface of the resilient body provides a recessed pocket intermediate of the proximal and distal portions, the recessed pocket being configured to receive an infant's tongue.
Claims (20)
- CLAIMS:1 . A pacifier comprising a, resilient body protruding distally from a shield to which the resilient body is attached at a proximal portion of the resilient body wherein a distal portion of the resilient body is substantially closed, the resilient body being configured to be received in an infantâ s mouth; wherein an upper surface of the resilient body intermediate of the proximal and distal portions is provided with a curved portion configured to conform to an infantâ s palate; and a lower surface of the resilient body provides a recessed pocket intermediate of the proximal and distal portions, the recessed pocket being configured to receive an infantâ s tongue.
- 2. The pacifier of claim 1 , wherein an upper surface of the resilient body intermediate of the proximal and distal portions is provided with an indent configured to receive an infantâ s upper jaw.
- 3. The pacifier of claim 1 or claim 2, wherein the proximal portion of the resilient body narrows in breadth to form a neck of the resilient body.
- 4. The pacifier of any one of claims 1 -3, wherein the proximal portion of the resilient body remains substantial constant in depth.
- 5. The pacifier of any one of claims 1 -4, wherein the recessed pocket of the lower surface is bounded by a proximal ridge.
- 6. The pacifier of claim 5, wherein the recessed pocket of the lower surface is bounded by a distal ridge .
- 7. The pacifier of claim 6, wherein the proximal and distal ridges are separated by a distal wall and a proximal wall, that together define an anchor to locate the infantâ s tongue, in use.
- 8. The pacifier of claim 7, wherein the distal wall and the proximal wall are inclined to one another to form the recessed pocket in the lower surface of the body.
- 9. The pacifier of claim 7 or claim 8, wherein the proximal wall is oriented parallel to the shield and provides an engagement surface to the infantâ s tongue.
- 10. The pacifier of claim 7 or claim 8, wherein the distal wall protrudes outwardly from the lower surface of the body and provides an anchor to be received in the median of an infantâ s tongue.
- 1 1 . The pacifier of any one of claims 6-10, wherein the distal ridge defines a protruding apex across the lower surface of the body.
- 12. The pacifier of claim 1 1 , wherein the apex of the lower surface has a v-shaped profile when viewed in at least one of a side view and a rear view.
- 13. The pacifier of any one of claims 1 -12, wherein the body further comprises a rounded tip having a breadth substantially similar to a breadth of the teat proximate the shield.
- 14. The pacifier of any one of any one of claims 1 -13, further comprising a lower gum support on the lower surface of the body between the proximal ridge and the shield.
- 15. The pacifier of any one of any one of claims 1 -14, further comprising an upper gum support on the upper surface of the body between the curved portion and the shield.
- 16. The pacifier of any one of any one of claims 1 -15, wherein the upper surface of the resilient body intermediate of the proximal and distal ends further comprises a curved indent configured to receive the infantâ s upper jaw.
- 17. The pacifier of any one of any one of claims 1 -16, wherein the resilient body is hollow.
- 18. A drinking teat comprising a resilient body protruding distally from a shield to which the resilient body is attached at a proximal portion of the resilient body wherein a distal portion of the resilient body is substantially closed, the resilient body being configured to be received in an infantâ s mouth; wherein an upper surface of the resilient body intermediate of the proximal and distal portions is provided with a curved portion configured to conform to an infantâ s palate; and a lower surface of the resilient body provides a recessed pocket intermediate of the proximal and distal portions, the recessed pocket being configured to receive an infantâ s tongue.
- 19. The drinking teat of claims 18, wherein the resilient body is hollow .
- 20. A pacifier, comprising; a resilient body having an upper surface and a lower surface, the upper and lower surfaces spaced apart to urge an infantâ s mouth towards an open position, in use, the resilient body having a distal portion, an intermediate portion and a proximal portion; and a shield engaged with the proximal portion of the body, wherein an upper surface of the resilient body intermediate of the proximal and distal portions is provided with a curved profile configured to conform to an infantâ s palate; and a lower surface is provided with a recessed pocket intermediate of the proximal and distal portions the recessed pocket configured to receive an infantâ s tongue.
