Abstract

A hygienic pacifier includes an annular folding structure formed on a substantially spherical shield that joins a nipple to a faceplate and that is movable between a recoiled storage position in which the shield substantially surrounds the nipple and an extended use position in which at least a portion of the nipple projects through the nipple access opening and is exposed for use. The annular folding structure may be used to bias the shield to remain in the extended use position when the shield is placed in the extended use position. Further, in some instances, the annular folding structure may be configured to provide a bias that may be overcome by a moderate impact to the pacifier such as an impact associated with dropping the pacifier.

Abstract

A hygienic nasal aspirator may include: a housing including an interior space; a movable diaphragm located in the interior space of the housing and partitioning the interior space into first and second chambers, where the movable diaphragm creates an impermeable barrier between the first and second chambers; a nose piece coupled to the housing and in fluid communication with the first chamber; an elongated member with a first end and a second end, where the first end is coupled to the housing and is in fluid communication with the second chamber; and a mouth piece coupled to the second end of the elongated member; where the diaphragm is configured to create a vacuum force for aspirating a nasal cavity through the nose piece in response to suction applied through the mouth piece.

Abstract

A hygienic pacifier includes a multi-durometer faceplate defining a nipple access opening and a substantially spherical shield joining a nipple to the faceplate and being movable between a recoiled storage position in which the shield substantially surrounds the nipple and an extended use position in which at least a portion of the nipple projects through the nipple access opening and is exposed for use. The nipple access opening is pliable to facilitate withdrawal of a bulbous core of a mold used to form an interior of the shield during a molding process.
