Abstract

A device having a pair of wings separated by a center bite section is disclosed. Each wing may be an elongated member and may have a cap at a distal end and a fillet or ramp at a proximate end sloping towards the center bite section. The wings may include various shapes and geometries.

Claims

1. A biting device comprising:

a first section having a first end and a second end, said first end including a first cap;

a middle section having a third end and a fourth end, said third end connected to said second end of said first section; and

a second section having fifth end and a sixth end, said fifth end connected to said fourth end of said middle section, and said sixth end including a second cap;

wherein a cross-section of said middle section along a first plane is smaller than a cross-section of said first and second sections along said first plane, and a cross-section of said middle section along a second plane that is perpendicular to said first plane is the same as a cross-section of said first and second sections along said second plane.

2. The device of claim 1, wherein said first section and said second section are fabricated from a first material having a first density and said middle section is fabricated from a second material having a second density that is different from the first density of the first material.

3. The device of claim 1, wherein at least one of said first section and said second section includes a bore extending therethrough, said bore operable to receive one or both of a novelty attachment and a lanyard for attaching to said device.

4. The device of claim 1, wherein at least one of said first section and said second section includes an attachment feature.

5. The device of claim 1, wherein at least one of said first section and said second section includes a tear-drop shape.

6. The device of claim 1, wherein at least one of said first section and said second section includes a bite notch operable to receive a user'"'"'s teeth.

7. The device of claim 1, wherein at least one of said first cap and said second cap includes a shape of a flower stem and the other of said at least one of said first cap and said second cap includes a shape of a flower bulb.

8. The device of claim 1, wherein at least one of said first cap and said second cap includes a shape of a dog'"'"'s tail and the other of said at least one of said first cap and said second cap includes a shape of a dog'"'"'s head.

9. The device of claim 1, wherein at least one of said first end cap and said second end cap includes an eraser and the other of said at least one of said first end cap and said second end cap includes a writing instrument.

10. The device of claim 1, wherein said middle section includes a material that allows the middle section to be formed to fit a particular user'"'"'s teeth.

11. The device of claim 1, wherein said middle section includes a mouth guard that at least partially surrounds a user'"'"'s teeth during use.

12. The device of claim 1, wherein said middle section includes an over-molded portion.

13. The device of claim 1, further comprising a timing device operable to measure the time the device is in a user'"'"'s mouth.

14. The device of claim 1, further comprising a communication module associated with one of the first section, the second section, and the third section, said communication module in communication with a mobile application.
