Abstract
A pacifier including a shield having a slot therein for accepting the lips at the end of a nipple which extends outwardly from the shield. The side of the shield opposite the nipple has a circular flange having two spaced slots, each having an entry section and an elongated section extending substantially perpendicular to the entry section and an interior guide borehole between the slots. A U-shaped handle includes a bar across its open end. The bar is inserted into the slots and moved to the internal end of the slots. A cap of a dimension to fit within the circular flange includes two depending fingers which mate with the vertical sections of the slots, a pin which mates with the interior guide borehole, and a depending barb which mates with and passes through the slot in the shield and into the shank of the nipple. The shield and cap are then ultrasonically welded.
