(57) This invention comes under the field of child-care articles made specially so that
babies can place it in their mouths themselves. In particular, it is an extremely
practical, simple device which, in any one of its various forms, if dropped, will
automatically return to the position that guarantees the maximum hygiene without ever
touching the ground in any way. An auto-stabilising baby's pacifier that is characterised
by a flat base (2) that functions as a counter weight and is attached on its upper
edge to a baby's pacifier teat (1) and which has a semicircular (4) rotating element
connected to its upper lateral border, which in turn is connected to a string and
a clip for attaching the pacifier to the baby's clothing. The aforesaid base (2) is, or contains, a counter weight, while on its upper border
the pivot ends (3) of a rotating semicircular element (4). The rotating axis realised
by the pivot of the ends (3) of the semicircular element (4) is situated above the
total barycentre of the device + pacifier teat, so that any rotation that occurs around
this axis tends to incline the pacifier teat into its original vertical position,
that is, with the teat (1) facing upward, and also by the fact that the base with
its counter weight (2) sets off a coupled reaction that returns the pacifier teat
to its original position
