Abstract

In embodiments of the present invention, improved capabilities are described for a pacifier accommodation device. The pacifier accommodation device may be comprised of a protrusion adapted to be placed inside an infants mouth; a platform wherein the protrusion is attached; a resilient side member, wherein the member is attached to the platform; and an earpiece attached to the side member, wherein the earpiece is adapted to secure the resilient side member to an infant'"'"'s ear.

Claims

1. A pacifier, comprising:

a protrusion adapted to be placed inside an infants mouth;

a platform wherein the protrusion is attached;

a resilient side member, wherein the member is attached to the platform; and

an earpiece attached to the side member, wherein the earpiece is adapted to secure the resilient side member to an infant'"'"'s ear.

2. The pacifier of claim 1, wherein the resilient side member attachment to the platform forms a flexible attachment.

3. The pacifier of claim 1, wherein the resilient side member attachment to the platform can be disconnected.

4. The pacifier of claim 1, wherein the resilient side member forms a flexible attachment to the platform.

5. The pacifier of claim 1, wherein the platform is substantially resilient.

6. The pacifier of claim 1, wherein the resilient side member and the platform are formed as a single assembly.

7. The pacifier of claim 6, wherein the single assembly is injection molded.

8. The pacifier of claim 1, wherein the earpiece and the resilient side member are formed as a single assembly.

9. The pacifier of claim 1, wherein the earpiece attachment to the side member can be disconnected.

10. The pacifier of claim 1, wherein the earpiece, the resilient side member, and the platform are formed as a single assembly.

11. The pacifier of claim 10, wherein the earpiece is resilient.

12. The pacifier of claim 10, wherein the earpiece is injected molded.

13. The pacifier of claim 10, wherein the earpiece is flexible.

14. The pacifier of claim 10, wherein the earpiece is insulator-coated wire.

15. The pacifier of claim 1, wherein the earpiece is adapted to secure around the outer ear.

16. The pacifier of claim 15, wherein the earpiece is adapted to secure around the top of the outer ear.

17. The pacifier of claim 15, wherein the earpiece is adapted to secure around the bottom of the outer ear.

18. The pacifier of claim 1, wherein the earpiece is adapted to secure in proximity of the ear canal.

19. The pacifier of claim 18, wherein the earpiece is adapted to secure directly outside the ear canal.

20. The pacifier of claim 18, wherein the earpiece is adapted to secure directly inside the ear canal.
