Abstract
A simulated nipple which is integrally formed and having a special precision configuration in a hollowed manner forming a central cavity with a selectively positioned and configured throat portion in medical grade silicon rubber and including the manner of manufacture to provide precision created interior and exterior surfaces having a skin-like consistency and feel.
Claims9
A simulated hollow nipple structure having an integral hollow tip portion, an integral hollow connecting throat portion and an integral expanded based portion characterized in that said tip portion is relatively bulbous, defining a terminal reservoir which opens rearwardly into said throat portion, said throat portion defining a throat passage with a cross section defined by a relatively flat upper surface and a concavo-convex undersurface externally arched forming an elongate inverted trench extending longitudinally of said nipple structure and in depression of said throat passage.
A simulated hollow nipple structure having an integral enlarged tip portion, a throat portion and an expanded base portion characterized in that:
- the throat portion defines a thin walled cavity between said tip and said base portions, said throat portion having a precision sized and surfaced interior and a concave-convex arched elongated trench-like undersurface and a substantially planar upper surface.
A simulated hollow nipple structure having an integral enlarged tip portion and a precision formed thin walled throat portion, an undersurface of said throat portion having an elongate convavo-convex trench-like depression and an expanded base portion integral with said tip portion and said throat portion and fabricated from medical grade silicone rubber by injection molding against a precision outer surface and against a precision-formed and located interior surface and said nipple structure removable by stripping.
