A cold and/or hot therapy device that utilizes insulation to maintain its temperature.

A pacifier cover system, a pacifier cover, a teether, and a pacifier cover and teether device capable of being attached to a pacifier are disclosed herein. The pacifier cover can attach to a pacifier handle to add a decorative flare to the pacifier, to increase the size of the pacifier such that the pacifier is easier to find when lost or when a child drops the pacifier, and to create a larger area to grip by both the parents and child. The pacifier cover can also include raised bumps or protrusions for teething and to assist in gripping the device. The pacifier cover includes a connecting mechanism having a connector ring with an outer sidewall connected to a back surface of the pacifier cover, an upper surface connected to the outer sidewall, an inner surface connected to the upper surface, and a curved portion with a radius of curvature interconnected to the inner surface and forming a lip. The connector ring further having a cavity formed by a cavity wall extending downward from the curved portion, the cavity at least partly surrounded by the connector ring, where the cavity receives a portion of the pacifier handle when the pacifier cover is connected to the pacifier.

The invention is directed to an anti-scratch and chew mitts that are designed to have a selectively exposed teething surface. The selectively exposed teething surface can have teething elements for an infant to chew while teething. The anti-scratch and chew mitt can have a reversible teething cap that can be reconfigured from a teething configuration to a protective configuration. The teething elements being exposed about an outer surface of the teething cap in the first teething configuration. The teething cap is reversible such that the teething cap can be folded inside-out and over itself in a second protective configuration. In the second protective configuration the first surface of the teething cap having the teething elements is inverted upon itself thereby containing the outer surface having the teething elements of the teething cap within an interior of the teething cap in the second configuration.

A system and method for fitting pacifiers and other implements to a particular child. One or more images of the child are used to determine anthropometric data that can be used to properly size a pacifier bulb and properly fit other implements.

The present invention is directed to a pacifier. The pacifier of the invention includes a baglet and a shield. The baglet has a tip, a shaft and base. The tip has a length and width that is greater than the length and width of the shaft. The base is adapted to connect the baglet to the shield and has creases configured to permit the baglet to move toward and away from the shield and rotate about a center point of the base.

A pacifier for an individual, the pacifier including a shield, a handle extending from a first side of the shield, and a nipple extending from a second side of the shield. The handle defines a longitudinal axis and the nipple is inclined downwardly with respect to the longitudinal axis. A shelf connects the nipple to the shield. In different configurations the shelf includes varying widths and in other configurations the shelf width is different than a width of the nipple. A core extends from the handle, through the shield and into the nipple.

Teething devices include a flexible teething member having a hollow interior and partially defining a cavity. A swallow shield coupled with the flexible teething member has a hollow interior and partially defines the cavity. The swallow shield is configured to prevent swallowing of the teething device. A reservoir coupled with the swallow shield has a hollow interior partially defining the cavity. In some implementations an opening in the reservoir provides access to the cavity for introduction and removal of a liquid/gel therefrom, and a closure member is configured to couple with the reservoir in a liquid-tight configuration. In other implementations the cavity is permanently sealed with liquid/gel therein—the teething device including no opening to access the cavity. In implementations the flexible teething member forms a nipple shape. In other implementations it is shaped and sized to simultaneously contact all twenty deciduous teeth of an infant.

Implementations of a teething device are provided. In some implementations, the teething device comprises a teething head and a telescoping arm.

In some implementations, a method of using the teething device comprises connecting or attaching the teething device to a bib or other suitable garment, putting the teething device in an expanded configuration for usage, and inserting the teething head of the teething device into the mouth of a teething baby wearing the bib or other garment.

The invention is directed to an anti-scratch and chew mitts that are designed to have a selectively exposed teething surface. The selectively exposed teething surface can have teething elements for an infant to chew while teething. The anti-scratch and chew mitt can have a reversible teething cap that can be reconfigured from a teething configuration to a protective configuration. The teething elements being exposed about an outer surface of the teething cap in the first teething configuration. The teething cap is reversible such that the teething cap can be folded inside-out and over itself in a second protective configuration. In the second protective configuration the first surface of the teething cap having the teething elements is inverted upon itself thereby containing the outer surface having the teething elements of the teething cap within an interior of the teething cap in the second configuration.

The present invention is directed to a teething device for children to alleviate the pain and discomfort associated with the emergence of teeth through their gums which typically occurs between month 4 and month 7 of a child's life. Various embodiments are described herein which surround the use of a mesh outer envelope filled with pellets contained therein.
