ABSTRACT:
A teething ring comprising a teething member and a mechanism for causing vibrations in the teething member. The teething member has a portion thereof of a size sufficient to allow an infant to place the portion between its gums. The portion is constructed of a resilient material and preferably includes a first surface having a plurality of protrusions extending therefrom, and more preferably includes a first and second surface each having a plurality of protrusions extending therefrom. The protrusions preferably included a rounded end section at the end of each protrusion located farthest from either the first or second surface. The vibrating mechanism may be any mechanism which will cause the portion of the teething member placeable between the gums of the infant to vibrate. The vibrating mechanism preferably causes the portion to vibrate at between 0.5 and 100 cycles per second; and more preferably includes a mechanism for allowing the frequency of vibration to be adjusted to a frequency which best mollifies the infant using the teething ring.
