The present invention relates to a novel pacifier which minimizes the risk of negative bite development of babies and small children, and the need for regulating teeth at a later stage during the growth period of the child. The invented pacifier affords technical advantages from the aspect of manufacture and provides an extremely positive connection between all component parts of the pacifier. The pacifier is characterized in that the shield is made up of two halves (3, 4) which are of substantially the same size and which have snap-lock means (5, 6) extending around the peripheral edge of each half, wherewith the upper half (3) is provided with a central hole (7) for accomodating the teat part (1) and a ring flange (8) which is located concentrically around the hole and which fits the edge bead (2) of the teat part. The lower part (4) is provided with an inwardly directed peg (9) fitting into the open end of the teat part, and with support shoulders (10) projecting outwardly from the peg. When assembling the shield halves (3,4) they are pressed together until the snap-lock means (5, 6) locks the two halves together in an inseparable manner. At the same time the peg (9) is pressed into the open end of the teat part of the pacifier, so that the edge bead (2) of the teat is locked in its position formed by the ring flange (8). |
