PACIFIER WITH COUPLING MECHANISM

Abstract: the present invention relates to a pacifier with integrated coupling mechanism designed to securely attach to various objects, providing ease of use for caregivers and comfort for infants. the pacifier features a shield with ventilation holes and, in one embodiment, a stretchable ring coupled to actuating arms and knobs that draw together in a closed position when not in use. in an alternate configuration, the coupling mechanism comprises first and second shield halves joined by an elastic region, with the knobs biased to close. the central nipple extends from the shield and includes a flexion region, shaft, and tip designed for comfort. the knobs incorporate contoured surfaces and recessed areas to improve grip on fabrics, while a nose recess along the shield edge reduces contact pressure around the infant's nose. this design enhances accessibility and reduces the risk of contamination, providing a convenient, secure, and comfortable pacifier for infants.
