Abstract: A method for the at least partial connecting of walls of a hollow body of an elastic material with at least one opening, wherein a connecting material is introduced in viscous form into the opening of the pre-formed hollow body, the walls of which form a cavity, between two wall sections or surfaces of the wall sections facing each other are melted on for the purpose of the formation of a viscous connecting material, and then the connecting material is transferred into an elastic state with chemical or physical linking with the surfaces of the hollow body, so that the wall sections of the hollow body are at least partially connected with each other in the region of the connecting material, and a corresponding hollow body.

Abstract: A pacifier having a nipple, which can be fastened to the pacifier guard with a stem-shaped end, wherein on the pacifier guard a fastening part that is or can be connected to the pacifier is provided on a side provided for placing the lips thereon such that the pacifier is connected to the pacifier guard when the fastening part is fastened to the pacifier guard.

Abstract: A bottle, in particular a baby's bottle, having a bottle jacket that is open at both ends. A base cap that is equipped with an air intake valve is fixed in one base end region of the bottle jacket and a teat is fixed in the opposite teat end region. The teat has a shaft and a nipple connected to the shaft by a lip contact region. The bottle jacket has an essentially conical form that widens from the teat end region to the base end region and the wall thickness of the shaft of the teat is greater than the wall thickness of the teat in the lip contact region and of the nipple. The bottle jacket is injection-molded from a polyolefin, in particular polypropylene.

Abstract: A pacifier (1) for premature babies, comprising a shield (2, 2a) on which a nipple (3) as well as, preferably, a grip (4) is provided, and which has at least one recess for the nose, wherein the shield (2, 2a) includes severable portions (6, 6a, 6b) which can be severed at pre-determined severing sites (5, 5a, 5b, 5c) defined as weakened sites or markings.
