SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a hygienic and safe pacifier.

[0004]

According to a pacifier as claimed in the present invention, it comprises a pacifier body and a protective cover outside the pacifier body. The pacifier body has a nipple portion at one end and a stopper ring at the other end. A protective cover that covers the nipple portion is fitted on the outside of the stopper ring. The protective cover has a hollow tubular structure, and has holes penetrating both sides. Further, the protective cover has one or more compression parts fitted to the end portion on the stopper ring side, and has a fitting portion that is firmly joined to the pacifier body. Pacifier
When not in use, the compression part covers the nipple part of the pacifier. Therefore, when the pacifier falls, it does not touch the ground. Therefore, it is hygienic and safe.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a pacifier according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a pacifier body 1 and a protective cover 2 outside the pacifier body 1. The pacifier body 1 has a nipple portion 11 at one end,
The other end is the stopper ring 12. The stopper ring 12 has a knob portion 121. Stopper ring 1
A protective cover 2 for covering the pacifier body 1 is provided on the outer side of the pacifier body 2.
Are fitted.

The protective cover 2 has a hollow tubular structure that covers the outside of the pacifier body 1. The protective cover 2 has two or more stages of irregular jagged compression parts 21 joined together. The protective cover 2 has holes 22 penetrating both sides. Further, the protective cover 2 has a zigzag-shaped compression part 21 fitted to the end portion on the stopper ring 12 side, and a fitting portion 23 is formed so as to be firmly fitted into the stopper ring 12. Therefore, the protective cover 2 and the pacifier body 1 are firmly joined.

As shown in FIGS. 3, 4 and 9, when the infant sucks on the pacifier, the protective cover 2 is pushed and the nipple portion 11 of the pacifier is exposed from the hole 22. The compression part 21 of the protective cover 2 has a jagged structure with a large stance. Due to the long compression stance, the exposed nipple portion 11 is long. Therefore, the nipple portion 11 is easily sucked onto the infant.

As shown in FIG. 4, when the pacifier 1 is separated from the infant's mouth, the protective cover 2 is not pushed, so that the compression part 21 returns to its original state, and the nipple portion 1 of the pacifier 1 is pressed.
Coat 1. Therefore, even if the pacifier falls,
The nipple portion 11 does not touch the ground, which is hygienic.

As shown in FIG. 5, the pacifier of this embodiment is attached to a baby bottle. A stopper ring 12 for a pacifier is fitted on the inner edge A1 of the lid A of the feeding bottle, and the nipple portion 11 is exposed to the outside of the lid A of the feeding bottle. A protective cover 2 is attached to the outer edge A2 of the lid so that the protective cover 2 completely covers the nipple portion 11 of the pacifier.

As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, since the length of the nipple portion 11 of the pacifier is not constant, the length of expansion and contraction of the protective cover 2 needs to be adjusted. Therefore,
The protective cover 2 has a one-stage compression part 21.

As shown in FIG. 8, the protective cover 3 has a bellows-like structure for covering the outside of the pacifier 1. One end of the protective cover 3 is a fitting groove 31 having an annular inner recess, and the fitting groove 31 is a stopper ring 1 for a pacifier.
It is fitted on the outside of 2. The other end of the protective cover 3 has a hole 32 at a position corresponding to the nipple portion 11.

The pacifier of this embodiment is a novel product that completely eliminates the drawbacks of conventional pacifiers. Further, the pacifier of this embodiment does not touch the ground even if it falls down, so it is hygienic and the safety is improved.
