Problems solved by technology

In the structure of the teether which is designed as a molar ring, only the rear molars are disadvantageously reached slightly, thus failing to facilitate eruption in this area
In addition, the closed shape results in a relatively rigid, inflexible layout, which will reduce teething or chewing experiences in infants and young children

Embodiment Construction

[0028] exist Figure 1 to Figure 4 shows a teether 1 according to a particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, in which a curved teether element 3 forming two free end regions 2 and two further elements 4 is fixed on the fixed part 5 in the middle.

[0029] Curved molar elements 3 in figure 1is shown in its unloaded rest state, in which the free end regions 2 are spaced apart from one another by means of narrow gaps 6 with a clear width of approximately 8 mm. The opening angle α of the open gap 6, measured from the top of the inner wall of the molar element 3, is approximately 22°. The end region 2 of the molar element 3 has a relatively large curvature, and the approximately circular molar element 3 is therefore particularly suitable for stimulating the entire jaw, especially the rear molars.

[0030] As soon as the molar element, which essentially engages the jaw, is inserted into the mouth, the section connected to the free end area 2 is essentially arranged in ...

Abstract

Teething device (1) for an infant, with a substantially arc-shaped and elastically deformable teething element (3) having two free end areas (2) spaced apart from each other in an unloaded rest position, wherein the teething element (3) forms a free gap (6) between the end areas (2) in the rest position and is substantially circular, and the arc-shaped teething element (3) substantially simulates the shape of the jaw in such a way that, when it is inserted into the mouth and is substantially congruent with the jaw, the end areas (2) are arranged in the area of the molars in the rest position of the teething element (3), wherein the free gap (6) has an opening angle of between 15 DEG and 35 DEG , measured from the internal apex of the opening, and the arc-shaped teething element (3) is elastically deformable in such a way that the two end areas (2); can be arranged at least partially overlapping each other in a securing position.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a teething device for infants and young children, having an essentially arc-shaped, elastically deformable teething element with two free end regions arranged at a distance from one another in an unloaded rest state, wherein , the molar element is substantially ring-shaped in a rest state forming an open gap between the end regions. [0002] A large number of teething devices are commercially available, with which the teething, especially in infants, can be facilitated. In addition, teethers have a soothing effect on infants and young children and are therefore used to satisfy the normal urge to grind teeth at this age. Braces are designed to increase blood flow to the gums and speed up the eruption of teeth. Background technique [0003] From JP2006 026440A a teether is known which has a curved section made of elastic material. Detachable protrusions or indentations are arranged on the arc-shaped portion. The end regions o...
