 Teat patent invention
In practice, this has the consequence that particularly soft materials are used for producing the teat so as to compensate for the undesired stiffness, which in turn causes an insufficient strength of the teat in the remaining regions.
[0005] According to the present invention, the teat has surface structures which are formed by at least one rough surface zone having a surface roughness of 100.mu.m at the most, in particular of 50.mu.m at the most.
By this, the teat can comfortably be taken into the child's mouth only in two defined positions, and this also has the effect that in this case the rough surface zones can be provided at precisely defined sites on the teat.
