  • Patent number: 6066161
    Abstract: A baby pacifier apparatus designed and integrated with a locator device that will illuminate and or sound with a musical tone when activated by a remote transmitter device in order to aid caretakers in locating the pacifier if it is misplaced. The baby pacifier comprises a nipple securely attached to a pacifier flange. The pacifier flange is removably attached to a plastic case. The plastic case houses the locator device which includes a locator device receiver, musical or chime module, light emitting diode and power source. The plastic case is detachably secured to the exterior face of the pacifier flange to allow for sterilization and replacement of worn parts. The locator device receiver is designed to respond to a signal sent from a remote transmitter device. When activated by the remote transmitter device, the locator device receiver will respond by selectively activating the light emitting diode thereby illuminating the unit and or activating the musical or chime module making a sound.
