Background art The use of simple means mostly made up of laces or little chains, in order to suspend pacifiers at babies'neck, is widespread.

Babies, however, never keep still in erect position, they bend down or sit inclining forward so that pacifiers may often touch the floor, with serious risks for the hygiene of pacifiers and for the babies'health.

The object and the important characteristics of the invention A system capable of preventing this or, at least, making it less probable to happen, would therefore be welcome.

The aim of this invention is to achieve a system to suspend the pacifier at a baby's clothes which is easy and comfortable to be handled by the baby himself and which is shaped in such a way as to be used as a custody for the pacifier itself or as a toy.

Another aim of this invention is to achieve a system capable of enclosing the pacifier and of filling it by natural suction with a liquid which can be tasty and/or nourishing for the baby.

Another aim of this invention, in compliance with those previously listed, is to achieve a device with pacifiers for babies which might possibly be used comfortably and simply and which is capable of giving the highest warrants of reliability and safety when used and that proves to be extremely practical and versatile.

The aims and advantages previously listed and others which will be made clear by the description which follows, are reached by a gravity driven positioning and return in position device for babies' pacifiers characterized by a semi-rigid but extremely flexible element capable of bending and easily returning in the rectilinear position which, in collaboration with a counterbalance fixed to a lower end and with a ring fixed to the upper end, allows the pacifier either to remain in the chosen position or to slide through a ring fixed to a hooking system, applied to the babies'clothes next to their chest, so that the babies can, in any moment, easily bring the pacifier to their mouths and drop it preventing it from falling down or from touching the floor even if the babies bend or lower much.

Description of the drawing and mode for carrying out the invention Further characteristics and advantages of this invention will best result from the description of the preferred executing forms which are illustrated as an indicative but not limiting example in the enclosed drawing: Picture 1 shows, schematically, a general view of the device according to this invention.

The device illustrated in the drawing, in a first form of realization, includes: a pacifier (1) like those commonly sold which is hooked to a ring (2) of polymeric materials provided with a specific opening (3)

and eventually also with a closing system; this ring is fixed to a pole (4) of proper materials shaped in a thread or a tube at whose opposite end a body (5) is linked. In one preferred form of realization the ring (2) is not directly fixed to the end of the pole (4) but it is linked by stitch or other system to a tube made of a biocompatible cloth which covers it.

In another preferred form of this invention, the pacifier is directly linked to the tubular pole (4). In this case the body (5) is empty and is equipped with an inlet valve for liquids. The baby will therefore be able to suck this liquid which, by natural suction through the tubular pole (4), reaches the pacifier and then the baby's mouth.

In another form of realization, the body (5) is empty as well but, in this case, it acts as a container for the pacifier when the latter is not used.

A hooking system, which in the drawing is represented as a tong (7) but which can also be of a different kind but suitable for the aims of this invention, is linked to a ring (8) made of polymeric materials.

The whole pole (4) slides in this ring (8), while the tong (7) is hooked to the baby's clothes next to his/her chest. The whole pole (4) forms a rigid but very flexible element capable of bending and easily returning to the rectilinear position and, in collaboration with the body (5) which primarily acts as a counterbalance and with the upper ring (2) or other preferred hooking form, allows the pacifier (1) to remain in a chosen position once the tong (7) is hooked to the baby's clothes next to his/her chest.

As it may be clearly understood, the baby may, in any moment, easily bring the pacifier to his/her mouth and drop it preventing it from falling.

In fact the element (7) allows to choose a hooking position which is determined by the pole's (4) length, according to this invention, so that the pacifier can easily be brought to the mouth and once dropped it may have few possibilities to touch the floor even if the baby bends or lowers much. The element (8), instead, allows to determine a fixed point of sliding of the whole pole (4) through the ring with the help of the body's (5) counterbalance.

In this way an effective and simple system of gravity driven positioning and return in position of the pacifier is reached.

In another form of preferred realization of this invention the body (5) has any form or size provided it is suitable to the main aim to supply a proper counterbalance, so that it may have pleasant forms, for example a flower, with which the baby may play.

The device described in its preferred variations, according to this invention, is simple and effective, safe in its result and very cheap to be realized.

To this idea of solution formal or structural variations may be brought in the sense that all the details, particularly the elements for the hooking to the baby's clothes, the counterbalancing body (4) and the hooking system of the pacifier (2) may be substituted by other elements technically equivalent (for example, a preferred form might be a little plaque in technopolymer folded as a book and closed or open by a screw system). Practically all the materials, the sizes and the forms may be of any kind, according to the needs of the moment, without getting out of the dominions of the invention which remains summarized in the claims that follow.
