ABSTRACT:
A universal tether apparatus for releasably attaching juvenile articles, such as pacifiers, teething devices, rattles and toys, to the clothing of an infant. The apparatus includes releasably affixable attachment members capable of alternatively coupling to and releasing from, both male post-type and female loop-type elements of juvenile articles. A flexible strap attached to a post attachment end and a second attachemnt member facilitates universal securement of either end of the strap to an apparatus body, or to a juvenile article--depending on whether the juvenile article has a post-type or loop-type grasping/attachment element. The apparatus body includes a connection attachment region for operable secured acceptance of the post attachment end of the flexible strap when the second attachment end is alternatively secured to the juvenile article, as well as an alternative receiving member for attachment of the second attachment member of the flexible strap--when the post attachment end is itself alternatively secured to the juvenile article. A biased clip facilitates releasable securement of the apparatus body to the infant's clothing.
