Abstract: A nipple assembly with an alarm buzzer and a body temperature indicator. The assembly comprises a nipple base in which is accommodated a main case and an inner case as well as a ring-shaped thermometer attached thereto. In the main case are provided an inner case, an IC board, a heat sensitive resistor and a buzzer. A heat conductive liquid is filled in the sealed space defined by the base, the main case, and the inner case. At the rear end of the base is attached a transparent convex housing to which is fastened a handle with a battery. When a baby sucks the nipple of the assembly, the heat in the baby's mouth can be transferred through the liquid to the thermometer so that it can indicate the baby's body temperature. Moreover, when the baby's body temperature reaches a predetermined warning value, a signal from a heat sensitive resistor will be sent to the buzzer so that the latter can issue an alarming sound.

Abstract: An infant's pacifier is constructed in a manner to confine and administer a beneficial liquid composition. The pacifier has a hollow nipple which threadably joins with a base that may serve as a funnel for expediting entrance of liquid into the nipple. The base is in turn threadably attached to a cap which has provision for admitting air to the nipple. A handle may be attached to the cap. The base, which is generally perpendicular to the nipple, may have indentations to accommodate an infant's nose.

Abstract: The oral hygiene device of the present invention combines a tooth brush with a teething ring so that cognitive factors relating to oral hygiene education for caring for baby teeth are maximized.

Abstract: A teething brush for an infant or child is disclosed which has a body in the shape of closed ring. The body ring has a forward curved portion which is dimensioned to fit within a child's opened mouth and a rearward curved portion which is wider than a child's opened mouth so as to prevent the body from being inserted fully into a child's mouth. The rearward curved portion forms a handle for gripping by a child and has a plurality of protrusions which extend from the upper and lower surfaces of the rearward portion to form teething bumps for biting engagement with a child's teeth and gums. The teething brush has a brush head formed of a plurality of upstanding bristles which extend from the forward curved portion of the body. The brush head is curved to conform to the curve of the forward body portion. The teething brush has smooth sides and rounded edges and is dimensioned to avoid trauma to a child's throat and mouth to permit unsupervised use by infants and small children.

Abstract: A nipple assembly which monitors the body temperature of a baby through an IC board, a heat sensitive resistor and a heat conductive liquid to activate a battery operated buzzer when the temperature of the liquid reaches a warning level. A heat sensing plate having plural heat reaction areas thereon provide a visual indication of the liquid temperature through a transparent magnifying cover.

Abstract: A nipple assembly which monitors the body temperature of a baby through an IC board, a heat sensitive resistor and a heat conductive liquid to activate a battery operated buzzer when the temperature of the liquid reaches a warning level. A thermocouple winding operates a pointer for providing visual indication of the liquid temperature on a temperature scale plate.

Abstract: A sinusoidal plastic cord having a ring-like member at its proximate end which can be engaged by the ring or handle of an infant's mouth toy. This cord has distal end that engages a clip member which can be clipped to the clothes of an infant to anchor said combination of clip, cord and mouth toy, so that the mouth toy is retained from loss and from separation from the infant.

Abstract: A teething rail which can be snapped on and off of the handle of a shopping cart and can be chewed safely by a teething baby when riding in the seat of the shopping cart. The teething rail is a split tube which preferably has a center portion with raised elements on which the baby can chew pleasantly.

Abstract: A tethering strap for a baby's pacifier, bottle or the like includes an elongated strap having an elastic button at one end for detachable attachment to a pacifier and a clamp and a slit at the other end for detachable attachment to the clothing of an infant.

Abstract: A face mask assembly comprises a face mask and a pacifier constructed to be easily attached to the face mask. The pacifier is provided with a novel construction for use with either the face mask for pre-operative and operative procedures, or a shield for pre- and post-operative care.
