Abstract:
1. A lightweight, portable device, for retaining baby teeth, comprising: a. a housing having a base with a bottom end, a circular plateau and a riser sidewall extending upwardly from the bottom end of the base to the circular plateau, the riser sidewall forming a part of the circular plateau, then extending downwardly towards the bottom end of the base and back up to an outer plateau to form twenty (20) interior hollow chambers and two (2) shallow faces along the perimeter of circular plateau, the riser having a rib extending horizontally around the exterior of the riser sidewall, the circular plateau having a center portion lying within an area ringed by the interior hollow chambers and the shallow faces and at a height just below that of the riser sidewall, the base of the interior hollow chambers being at different depths from the top of the circular plateau in relation to the size of a baby tooth to be placed within the chamber and do not extend beyond the plane created by the bottom surface of the base, and the shallow faces located approximately 180° from each other which separate the interior hollow chambers into two groups of ten (10) interior hollow chambers; b. an integrative surface on which said housing is incorporated, and being composed of materials to facilitate the inclusion of the integrative surface into a storage or display book; c. a transparent cover having at least one aperture with a downwardly projecting flange and covering the top and sidewalls of the device and held in place by shaping itself along the sidewalls by skimming vertically down the sidewall from the top, protruding out over the rib on the sidewall and skimming down the remainder of the sidewall; d. each interior hollow chamber sized to retain a respective one of twenty deciduous baby teeth so that each tooth can be simultaneously viewed through the transparent cover; e. a label affixed to the upper surface of the circular plateau at least depicting each of twenty deciduous baby teeth in relation to each tooth's location in the mouth from the point of an observer and aligned in a manner that each tooth depicted correlates to a specific interior hollow chamber; and f. a label affixed to the under-surface of the circular plateau with lines segregating the label into segments that align with and correlate to the underside bottom of each of the interior hollow chambers.
