Abstract: This invention relates to a pacifier that may properly interest an infant of eight months old or older to make a preferable stimulation, for leading the infant to the next developmental stage of ingesting activity, or that can be used in a way for adapting to more advanced ingesting activity. A pacifier is provided with a nipple (11) and a shield plate (12) disposed at the base portion (13) of the nipple which has a predetermined width.

Abstract: This invention provides an artificial nipple 210a. The artificial nipple comprises: a nipple portion 212a having a first curved surface, whose tip is provided with an opening portion 216a; a nipple body portion 211a formed on the nipple portion 212a, having a second curved surface, wherein the second curved surface of the nipple body portion 211a is continuously extended from the first curved surface of the nipple portion 212a, and wherein the second curved surface of the nipple body portion 211a is significantly expanded as a part of the second curved surface goes away from the nipple portion 212a; and a base portion 214a formed on the nipple body portion, wherein the base portion 214a is capable of being attached to a container to house a drink. According to the present invention, the nipple body portion 211a has a maximum outer diameter of 30 mm or more.

Abstract: A novel amino resin composition produced by reacting one of or a mixture of more than two triazine derivatives of Formula I: ##STR1## wherein, R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3, R.sup.4, R.sup.5 and R.sup.6 each represent an independent substituent, and one to five substituents thereof represent a C.sub.1 -.sub.20 alkyl group, a C.sub.2-20 alkenyl group (the alkyl group or alkenyl group may optionally have an alicyclic structure of phenyl group), or a phenyl group, and the remaining substituent or substituents represent a hydrogen atom with formaldehyde; a novel amino composition produced by reacting a mixture of one of or a mixture of more than two of said triazine derivatives and melamine or urea with formaldehyde; and an amino composition comprising a novel amino composition produced by reacting a mixture of one of or a mixture of more than two triazine derivatives with formaldehyde and a melamine-formaldehyde resin and a melamine/urea-formaldehyde resin or a urea-formaldehyde resin.

Abstract: A breast pump for sucking out mother's milk is provided, the breast pump including a sucking portion 11, 12, 13 to be fitted to one's breast, a negative pressure generating member 14 mounted in the sucking portion for generating negative pressures therein, a driving member 24 attached to the sucking portion, a driving power transmitting member 25 attached to the sucking portion for repeatedly generating negative pressures by transmitting a driving power of the driving member, and a reservoir 30 connected to the sucking portion for reserving mother's milk from the sucking portion.

Abstract: A breast pump for extracting milk from a human breast includes an extracting cup and has an engagement portion for engaging the breast. A container has a mouth portion connected to the extracting cup. A milk receiving bag is mounted to the mouth portion and suspended in the container. An air suction source is connected to the container in order to produce air suction inside the container. An air path connects the interior of the extracting cup and the inside of the container, wherein the air suction creates a negative air pressure condition to assist in the suction of milk. The milk flows by gravity through the extracting cup and into the milk receiving bag without contact with the air suction source or the inside of the container.

Abstract: A resinous substance obtained by reacting a rosin compound containing 1 to 10 equivalents of carboxylic groups per kilogram with triglycidyl isocyanurate. A process for producing it is also disclosed.

Abstract: A milking apparatus for extracting milk from a human breast has a funnel shaped receiver positionable over the breast attached to a conduit and receiver bottle for receiving extracted milk. An adaptor is provided such that different types of suction pumps may be used in conjunction with the apparatus in response to the needs of the user. A pressure adjusting mechanism is associated with the adaptor which is operated automatically or manually to relieve excess suction exerted by a selected suction pump on the breast.
