Pacifier retention system

Abstract

A pacifier retention system includes a clip mechanism, a beaded tether, a stringing wire coupling a first end of the beaded tether to the clip mechanism, and a retention loop formed in the second end of the beaded tether.

1 . A pacifier retention system comprising: 
 a clip mechanism;    a beaded tether;    a stringing wire coupling a first end of said beaded tether to said clip mechanism; and    a retention loop formed in said second end of said beaded tether.    
   
   
       2 . The pacifier retention system of  claim 1 , wherein said clip mechanism further comprises: 
 a curved jaw body forming a concave overhang with a flat face surface;    a coupling orifice formed in a base of said curved jaw body; and    a spring arm rotatably coupled to said base of said curved jaw body;    wherein said spring arm is resistively coupled to said flat face surface of said curved jaw body.    
   
   
       3 . The pacifier retention system of  claim 2 , wherein said first end of said beaded tether is coupled to said coupling orifice.  
   
   
       4 . The pacifier retention system of  claim 3 , further comprising a first and a second ring clamp; 
 wherein said first ring clamp is configured to compressibly secure said stringing wire against itself on a first end to form a loop around said coupling orifice; and    wherein said second ring claims is configured to compressibly secure said stringing wire against itself on a second end to form said retention loop.    
   
   
       5 . The pacifier retention system of  claim 1 , wherein said stringing wire comprises a metal.  
   
   
       6 . The pacifier retention system of  claim 5 , wherein said metal comprises a stainless steel.  
   
   
       7 . The pacifier retention system of  claim 6 , wherein said stainless steel stringing wire is coated by a polymer.  
   
   
       8 . The pacifier retention system of  claim 7 , wherein said polymer comprises a nylon.  
   
   
       9 . The pacifier retention system of  claim 6 , wherein said stringing wire comprises approximately 49 strands of stainless steel coated in nylon.  
   
   
       10 . A pacifier retention system comprising: 
 a clip mechanism including a curved jaw body forming a concave overhang with a flat face surface, a coupling orifice formed in a base of said curved jaw body, and a spring arm rotatably coupled to said base of said curved jaw body, wherein said spring arm is resistively coupled to said flat face surface of said curved jaw body;    a beaded tether having a first end and a second end;    a stringing wire coupling a first end of said beaded tether to said coupling orifice of said clip mechanism;    a retention loop formed in said second end of said beaded tether; and    a first and a second ring clamp, wherein said first ring clamp is configured to compressibly secure said stringing wire against itself on a first end to form a loop around said coupling orifice, and wherein said second ring claims is configured to compressibly secure said stringing wire against itself on a second end to form said retention loop.    
   
   
       11 . The pacifier retention system of  claim 10 , wherein said stringing wire comprises a metal.  
   
   
       12 . The pacifier retention system of  claim 11 , wherein said metal comprises a stainless steel.  
   
   
       13 . The pacifier retention system of  claim 12 , wherein said stainless steel stringing wire is coated by a polymer.  
   
   
       14 . The pacifier retention system of  claim 13 , wherein said polymer comprises a nylon.  
   
   
       15 . The pacifier retention system of  claim 12 , wherein said stringing wire comprises approximately 49 strands of stainless steel coated in nylon.  
   
   
       16 . A method of forming a pacifier retention system comprising: 
 presenting a clip mechanism including a curved jaw body forming a concave overhang with a flat face surface, a coupling orifice formed in a base of said curved jaw body, and a spring arm rotatably coupled to said base of said curved jaw body, wherein said spring arm is resistively coupled to said flat face surface of said curved jaw body; and    coupling a first end of a beaded tether including a metal stringing wire to said coupling orifice.    
   
   
       17 . The method of  claim 16 , wherein said coupling a first end of said beaded tether to said coupling orifice comprises: 
 passing a first end of said metal stringing wire through said coupling orifice; and    coupling said first end of said metal stringing wire to itself to form a retention loop.    
   
   
       18 . The method of  claim 17 , further comprising forming a retention loop on a second end of said beaded tether.  
   
   
       19 . The method of  claim 18 , wherein said forming a retention loop on a second end of said beaded tether comprises: 
 doubling a second end of said metal stringing wire back upon said metal stringing wire; and    coupling said second end of said metal stringing wire to said metal stringing wire.    
   
   
       20 . The method of  claim 19 , further comprising disposing a plurality of beads on said retention loop by passing said metal stringing wire through a lumen in said beads.
