Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
53 words
An infant''s pacifier comprising: a resilient, flexible, generally elongated member intertwined in a plurality of loops defining a loose overhand knot, the free ends of said member being connected smoothly together so that said member is endless, said loops being biased toward each other so that they tend to lie adjacent each other.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
53 words
An infant''s pacifier comprising: a resilient, flexible, generally elongated member intertwined in a plurality of loops defining a loose overhand knot, the free ends of said member being connected smoothly together so that said member is endless, said loops being biased toward each other so that they tend to lie adjacent each other.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
42 words
An infant''s pacifier as defined in claim 1 further comprising: said member comprising a tube; and a noise generating material disposed within and along said tube, said material being adapted to generate an audible noise in response to flexure of said tube.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
43 words
A device as defined in claim 2 wherein said noise generating material comprises thin plastic sheet material bunched within said tube and adapted to flex in response to flexure of said tube, said sheet material being adapted to generate said noise when flexed.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
80 words
An infant''s pacifier comprising: a resilient, flexible tube intertwined in a plurality of loOps defining a loose overhand knot, the free ends of said tube being connected smoothly together so that said tube is endless; and a noise generating material comprising a thin plastic sheet of material bunched within said tube and adapted to generate an audible noise when flexed, said bunched sheet material being arranged within said tube as to be flexible in response to flexure of said tube.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
80 words
An infant''s pacifier comprising: a resilient, flexible tube intertwined in a plurality of loOps defining a loose overhand knot, the free ends of said tube being connected smoothly together so that said tube is endless; and a noise generating material comprising a thin plastic sheet of material bunched within said tube and adapted to generate an audible noise when flexed, said bunched sheet material being arranged within said tube as to be flexible in response to flexure of said tube.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
69 words
An infant''s pacifier comprising: a resilient, flexible, generally elongated member intertwined in a plurality of loops defining a loose overhand knot, the free ends of said member being connected smoothly together so that said member is endless, said elongated member being between approximately 1/4 to 1/2 inch in cross sectional dimension; said plurality of loops being of sufficiently large dimensions as to preclude an infant from swallowing the pacifier.
