An improved pacifier assembly including a pacifier having at least one dissolving flavor packet to provide a tasty incentive for babies to use whereby a developing infant determines flavor differences thereby providing flavor variance for a child to recognize, stimulates brain function and encourages further cognitive growth.

An improved pacifier comprising interchangeable dissolving flavor packets that provide a tasty incentive for babies to use whereby a developing infant determines flavor differences thereby providing flavor variance for a child to recognize, stimulates brain function and encourages further cognitive growth.

A pacifier ball comprising a hollow sphere comprising a pair of identical hemispherical members having circular hemispherical rims separably joined together to form the hollow sphere. A first pair of hollow pliable nipples being mounted on and projecting radially outward, from one of the hemispherical members. The nipples of the first pair of hollow pliable nipples having centerlines projecting through the center of said sphere and defining therewith a first common plane. A second pair of hollow pliable nipples being mounted on and projecting radially outward from the other hemispherical member. The nipples of the second pair of hollow pliable nipples having centerlines projecting through the center of said sphere and defining therewith a second common plane. The centerlines of the nipples of each pair of hollow pliable nipples creating an angle of separation between the nipples and equal angles of projection for each of the nipples such that each of the nipples is equally spaced from its respective hemispherical rim. The first and second common planes being perpendicular to each other, and therefore each pair of hollow pliable nibbles are oriented perpendicular to each other on their respective hemispherical member. The size, weight, number and placement of the nipples facilitate the ease of use of the pacifier ball by an infant. The pacifier ball can also be taken apart for cleaning.

A pacifier comprising a reusable suction part and at least one exchangeable housing part which are releasably connectable to each other, wherein said suction part comprises a nipple and a shield connected to each other, wherein said suction part comprises a passageway through which a fluid can pass from outside a mouth of a user of the pacifier to inside the mouth of the user of the pacifier, and wherein said suction part comprises at least one first connection device, and wherein said housing part comprises a housing and at least one second connection device which is releasably connectable to the at least one first connection device, wherein said housing comprises at least one heat and moisture exchanger (HME) device and/or at least one filter device.

A pacifier comprising a suction part comprising a nipple and a shield connected to each other; and a housing part connected to said suction part, wherein said suction part defines a passageway through which a fluid can pass from outside the pacifier to inside a mouth of a user of the pacifier such that the pacifier is configured as a breath-through pacifier, wherein said housing part comprises a housing, wherein said housing comprises, in an interior space of the housing, at least one heat and moisture exchanger (HME) device and/or at least one filter device, and wherein the housing defines at least one air opening through which air can pass such that the air passing between the at least one air opening of the housing and the passageway of the suction part has to pass through the at least one HME device and/or the at least one filter device.

A compressible pacifier is described having a flexible neck portion connecting a nipple to a base portion. The flexible neck portion allows for the nipple to be extended for use as needed, and compressed within the planar surface of the base portion when the pacifier is not in use or is being transported.

An infant food chewing device includes a net bag, a cover, and a fixing hoop. The net bag includes a bag body having a receiving cavity. A cavity wall of the receiving cavity is provided with several through holes. A first fixing ring extends from one side of an open end of the bag body. The cover includes a cover body having a mounting side surface. An enclosing wall and a blocking block are disposed on the mounting side surface. The blocking block is located in an annular area of the enclosing wall. The blocking block has a blocking side face abutting an end face of the open end and blocking the open end. The fixing hoop is sleeved on the outer periphery of the blocking block and the first fixing ring. The enclosing wall at least partially shields the outer side surface of the fixing hoop.

A pacifier comprises a male member, a shield having a shield opening having a width (W.sub.1), and a nipple extending through the shield opening and having a nipple opening provided in a proximal end portion. A male member extends through the nipple opening and through the shield opening. The pacifier comprises an intermediate member extending through shield opening. The intermediate member comprises a channel through which the male portion extends and engages with the intermediate member, hereby lockingly attaching the nipple to the shield. The width (W.sub.2) of the intermediate member is larger than the width (W.sub.1) of the shield opening.

A pacifier includes a shield with opposite front and rear surfaces, an opening substantially centered within the shield, and an annular sleeve extending from the rear surface. The annular sleeve is circumferentially aligned with a perimeter of the opening and comprises an inner surface with a notch. A nipple member includes an annular base, a nipple extending outwardly from a first end of the base, and a flange at an opposite second end. The nipple member is inserted through the shield opening with the nipple extending outward from the shield front surface. The annular base has an outwardly extending rib that mates with the notch to limit relative rotation. The flange abuts the distal free end of the shield annular sleeve. A cap is removably secured to the shield annular sleeve to maintain engagement of the nipple member and shield.

Molding method of manufacturing for soft-shield and orthodontic pacifiers, and for pacifiers having snap-in caps that prevent exposing baglet to molten plastic during molding process.
