Nipple assembly with alarm buzzer and body temperature indicator (IV)

Claim 1

A nipple assembly comprising: a) a nipple base; b) a main case receivable within the nipple base, the main case including an open end, a closed end, a central hole formed in the closed end and defined by a hollow cylindrical member extending towards the open end and terminating in a circular flange, a plurality of glue pits circumferentially spaced around the periphery of the main case for receiving waterproof glue to secure the main case to the nipple base; c) a protection housing secured within the hollow cylindrical member; d) a heat sensitive resistor disposed within the protection housing, and a rubber sheet secured to the protection housing and the circular flange; e) an LCD, an IC boards and an alarm buzzer disposed within the main case; f) a decorative plate secured to the open end of the main case, the decorative plate being sufficiently acoustically transparent for permitting sound from the alarm buzzer to pass therethrough, and including a viewing window through which the LCD may be observed; g) a transparent convex housing secured to the decorative plate and including means for permitting the alarm sound to be transmitted therethrough; h) a handle provided with a battery therein for energizing the alarm buzzer; i) a heat conductive liquid within the main case; and j) wherein the temperature of a baby's mouth on the nipple base is transferred through the heat conductive liquid to the heat sensitive resistor for transmitting a signal from the resistor to the IC board for operating the LCD to provide a display corresponding to the temperature of the baby's body, and when the conductive liquid reaches a predetermined temperature, a signal from the heat sensitive resistor is transmitted through the IC board to energize the alarm buzzer and attract the attention of a person caring for the baby.
