Abstract[English]
The human nipple functions for both nutritive and non-nutritive suckling with the only difference that in the first instance nutritive fluid is delivered. The present invention conflates these two suckling devices, A nipple device comprises a first reinforcing member provided at the exterior surface of a nipple portion, and surrounding an interior elastomeric core, A second reinforcing member, such as a mesh reinforcement, can be added to improve bite resistance without compromising stretchiness or compressibility. The nipple device is bite-resistant to guard against biting damage and stretch ing-to- failure by an infant; and compressible, so forces applied by an infant's tongue will be transmitted (in the case of an artificial feeding teat) through a solid nipple core to compress and shutoff central duct(s) to facilitate swallowing without gagging, or (in the case of a pacifier) to reshape the nipple portion so it conforms to the shape of the infant's oral cavity.[French]
Le mamelon humain fonctionne à la fois pour un allaitement nutritif et pour un allaitement non nutritif à la seule différence que dans le premier cas, un liquide nutritif est délivré. La présente invention confond ces deux dispositifs d'allaitement. Un dispositif de tétine comprend un premier élément de renforcement disposé au niveau de la surface extérieure d'une partie de mamelon, et entourant un noyau élastomère intérieur. Un second élément de renforcement, tel qu'un renforcement en treillis, peut être ajouté pour améliorer la résistance à la morsure sans compromettre la tension ou la compressibilité. Le dispositif de tétine est résistant aux morsures pour protéger contre les dommages de morsures et l'étirement jusqu'à la rupture par un nourrisson; et compressible, de telle sorte que les forces appliquées par la langue d'un nourrisson seront transmises (dans le cas d'une tétine d'alimentation artificielle) à travers un noyau de mamelon solide pour comprimer et arrêter le ou les conduits centraux pour faciliter la déglutition sans bâillonnement, ou (dans le cas d'une sucette) pour reformer la partie mamelon de sorte qu'elle se conforme à la forme de la cavité buccale du nourrisson.
