  • Patent number: 4604758
    Abstract: The invention comprises an article for engaging the ring of a pacifier and for holding the pacifier about the neck of an infant. A first flat panel or collar has a substantially rectangular shape and has a notch for engaging the infant's neck. The notch forms an arcuate portion in the first panel. The arcuate portion conforms to the infant's neck and forms right and left tabs for engaging the infant's neck. Interlocking means are attached to at least one of the tabs for engaging the other tab thereby permitting the notch to be closed about the infant's neck. A second flat panel is provided having upper and lower ends. The upper end has an arcuate edge and engages the arcuate portion of the first flat panel. The lower end of the second flat panel has a means for engaging the pacifier ring. The engagement between the arcuate edge and the arcuate portion causes the underside of the second flat panel to be positioned adjacent to the overside of the first flat panel.
