Definitions

  • the invention relates to a toothbrush consisting of a brush body made of plastic with a head, a neck and a handle as well as bundles of bristles attached to the head.
  • Toothbrushes are primarily used to clean the teeth and the interdental spaces, but in many cases are also said to have a massage effect on the gingiva or its marginal area. These two desired effects of a toothbrush contradict each other. While cleaning the teeth requires a strong brushing effect, in particular in order to remove plaque or to remove food residues from the interdental spaces, the gingiva massage must be carried out with caution to avoid injuries (lesions).
  • Gingiva particularly sensitive in the interdental space.
  • Toothbrushes with V-shaped bundles and bundles are known in which the free ends of the bristles lie on a conical surface (DE 37 44 630). This promotes in particular the penetration of the bundle tips into the interdental spaces, but at the same time increases the abrasion on the tooth and tooth neck and the risk of injury to the gingiva (lesions). Recognizing this disadvantage, only a centrally arranged bundle of bristles is conical in the known toothbrush and is also supported by a spring in a bore in the head of the brush body. Such a design does not in any way meet today's hygienic requirements, since residues of dentifrices and other dirt are deposited in the bore.
  • the invention is based on the object of designing a toothbrush in such a way that, with a perfect cleaning effect on all tooth surfaces and in the interdental spaces, a reticent massage of the gingiva is possible and abrasion on the tooth and tooth neck as well as lesions on the gingiva are avoided .
  • the longer bristles of the conical bristle bundle diverge into the interdental spaces and clean the tooth surfaces facing each other, while the shorter bristles ensure adequate cleaning of the outer and inner surfaces of the tooth. If the pressure is increased, the bundles dodge.
  • the bristles in engagement with the tooth surfaces then have a more scraping effect with their outer surface, while the deformed bristles continue to be effective in the interdental spaces.
  • the neck of the toothbrush yields resiliently, so that the pressure on the teeth or the gingiva cannot be increased any further. This protects the teeth from abrasion and the gingiva from injury.
  • the spring force of the neck is selected as a function of the desired cone angle of the bristle bundle so that the larger the cone angle, the more the neck evades. The cone angle and the pressure force are therefore in an approximately inversely proportional relationship.
  • the bristle bundles preferably have a cone angle between 50 ° and 70 ° and the neck is designed so that it evades with a pressing force between 700 and 900 g.
  • the pressing force can be set in various ways, for example by appropriately designing the cross section of the neck and thus its moment of inertia. Furthermore, the bending strength of the neck can be influenced by the type of plastic. Furthermore, a spring can be arranged on the neck, for example inserted or integrated. Of course, these measures can also be combined with one another. It is also possible to apply the pressure to the physiological peculiarities of the user to set, for example, the pressure force will be lower for children's toothbrushes than for adults. The same applies to users with sensitive or less sensitive tooth necks or gums.
  • the free ends of the bristles should preferably be spherically rounded.
  • the effect of the bundles can also be influenced by their cross-section.
  • the bundles can have a circular, oval or polygonal cross section.
  • the cleaning effect can be influenced by different stiffness or degrees of hardness of the bristles of an individual bundle or individual bundles compared to other bundles.
  • Carrier are arranged, which is fixed interchangeably on the head, so that only the carrier with the bundles has to be replaced when worn, thus creating an environmentally friendly design.
  • a further preferred embodiment is characterized in that the head tapers conically or in a wedge shape towards its free end, whereby narrow or poorly accessible areas in the oral cavity in particular can be reached.
  • FIG. 1 shows a longitudinal section of a toothbrush.
  • FIG. 2 shows a top view of the toothbrush according to FIG. 1;
  • Fig. 3 is an enlarged view of the neck of the toothbrush in area III of Fig. 1;
  • FIG. 5 shows a schematic detail from the front tooth area during cleaning of the front of the tooth
  • FIG. 6 corresponding to one of FIG. 5
  • FIGS. 7, 8 each show a representation corresponding to FIGS. 5 and 6 when the permissible pressing force is exceeded;
  • FIG. 9 shows a detail from the molar area when cleaning the occlusal surfaces and 10 shows a representation corresponding to FIG. 9 when the permissible pressing force is exceeded.
  • the toothbrush according to Figure 1 consists of a head 1 and an elongated handle 2, which are connected to each other via a slim neck 3.
  • a spring part 4 is embedded in the region of the neck 3.
  • the toothbrush can be produced, for example, by injection molding and the spring part 4 can be overmolded in the process.
  • the spring is therefore surrounded on all sides by plastic.
  • FIG. 3 shows, it has a flat, leaf-shaped main part 5, which is provided in the region of its ends with projections 6, 7 running transversely to its extension. These projections can be used to anchor the spring part in the overmolded plastic. They preferably protrude up to the surface of the neck 3 and can additionally serve as information carriers on their surface.
  • the leaf-shaped design of the main part 5 ensures that the neck can essentially only spring out in the plane which corresponds to the intermediate plane and not transversely thereto.
  • the handle 2 has handle elements 10, 11 embedded in the plastic in its thickened central region, the upper handle element 10 having a relatively large handle surface 12, the lower handle element 11 having a somewhat smaller handle surface 13.
  • the grip elements are preferably made of an elastomer and can also be provided on their free surface with a friction-increasing profile, for example in the form of grooves 14, which are preferably in closed, concentric ovals run and are therefore adapted to the shape of the fingertip.
  • Bristle bundles 15 are attached to the head 1 of the brush body made of plastic, e.g. welded, injected or anchored in some other way.
  • the bundles of bristles are arranged in a plurality of parallel rows in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the brush body and transversely thereto, possibly also offset from one another.
  • Bristle bundles can have different lengths and can also have any cross sections - round, oval, polygonal. Individual bristles within a bundle or the bundles with one another can have a different hardness or bending stiffness, for example they can have different diameters, or they can be made of plastic with different bending stiffness.
  • the bristles of some bundles 15, but preferably all bundles, are of different lengths within the bundle, so that their free ends lie on a conical envelope surface 16.
  • the cone angle c * can be in the range from 30 to 90 °, preferably in the range from 50 ° to 70 °.
  • the head 1 receiving the bristle bundles 15 is wedge-shaped in the plane of the drawing in FIG.
  • the top 17 and the bottom 18 thus run towards one another in a wedge shape towards the head end.
  • the head tapers conically, as can be seen from the side surfaces 19, 20.
  • the spring action is set so that the head 1 with a contact pressure K between 500 and 1200 g, depending on the size of the cone angle c ⁇ , resiliently.
  • the smaller the cone angle CK the higher the contact pressure K can be selected.
  • CK 50 ° to 70 °, for example, it is between 700 and 900 g.
  • FIGS. 5 to 8 show the toothbrush in a use phase in the front tooth area of the bit.
  • the tooth positions 1/2/3/4 are shown with the reference number 22.
  • FIG. 5 shows the cleaning process when cleaning the outside of teeth 22
  • FIG. 6 shows a cleaning process when cleaning the inside. From this it is first clear that during the cleaning process and largely independently of the brush guide, the tapered bristle bundles are pushed into the interdental spaces and develop their cleaning effect there, but when the toothbrush is slightly raised, they work on the tooth surfaces.
  • the tapered bristle bundles are pushed into the interdental spaces and develop their cleaning effect there, but when the toothbrush is slightly raised, they work on the tooth surfaces.
  • FIGS. 9 and 10 show a cleaning phase when cleaning the occlusal surfaces of the molars 23.
  • the conical bristle bundles penetrate into the depressions of the occlusal surface and into the interdental space.
  • the angle of the bristles changes constantly during the cleaning process, so that the entire occlusal surface is effectively cleaned.
  • the bristle bundle 15 bends under pressure (FIG. 10) and finally the neck resiliently yields as soon as a contact force which is matched to the cone angle of the bristle bundle is exceeded.
