Definitions

  • the invention relates to a toothbrush which consists of a bristle part which can be replaced if necessary or accessory and a holder with special additional functions, and in which the bristle part or accessory part by means of a ball joint with respect to the holder a pivot angle is pivotable.
  • WO-A-95/12333 is a toothbrush with a double-angled handle and a bristle head known.
  • the bristle head which either forms a separate component or with the handle is integrally connected, can be tilted about an axis, which both on the longitudinal direction of the Handle and is perpendicular to the direction of extension of the bristles of the bristle head.
  • WO-A-95/01113 discloses a toothbrush with a handle and a movable bristle head.
  • the bristle head is locked by means of connecting means with the handle so that it both is freely rotatable clockwise and counterclockwise, and at the same time by one perpendicular to the handle extending axis can swing.
  • the connecting means comprise a pin attached to it End face has an annular approach, or a mushroom-shaped pin.
  • EP 0613636 A1 Some embodiments of EP 0613636 A1 have better ones due to the elastomer linkage Possibilities. A targeted investment is not possible. An environmentally friendly bristle head change is not shown here.
  • EP-A-0 173 150 describes an electric toothbrush with a circular motion drivable brush head.
  • the brush head is detachably fastened to the drive and mounted so that it can be tilted.
  • the brush head engages around a ball joint attached to the end of an axis of rotation.
  • a seal is provided on the underside of the brush head for resetting elastic material attached.
  • the toothbrush should also ensure a seal and allow suspension of the bristle part or accessory.
  • a labeling option a version as a travel toothbrush, the attachment of changeable Accessories in the holder and the bristle as a depot are shown.
  • the bristle is proposed as a depot carrier for solid substances, which fungi, Fight bacteria and germs, but can also be a carrier for minerals and trace elements, such as B. fluorides and calcium.
  • it is carried out like the bristle part after wear can be removed again without breaking a fingernail.
  • FIG. 1A shows a longitudinal section through a toothbrush with a ball joint 12 c.
  • Fig.1C, Fig.1D Between the exchangeable bristle part 12 and the holder 11 there is an O-ring in an annular recess 11a and 12a.
  • the distance of the ball joint 12 c in the longitudinal direction is preferably offset from the center of gravity of the bristle part 12 in the longitudinal direction in order to achieve a compensating movement for the deflection of the holder.
  • the swivel angle 14 is limited in the longitudinal direction and the swivel angle 15 in the transverse direction by a fixed stop.
  • cams 11b and 12b are attached in the transverse direction.
  • the customer can change the hardness at will.
  • the O-rings can be colored differently for this.
  • 1A by the front attachment 18 b serves to push out the used bristle part 12 from the holder 11.
  • the attachment 18 a serves as a stop to protect the holder 11 or 21.
  • the outer edge of the bristle part 12d fits spherically in the opening 11d, so that no toothpaste contamination can interfere with mobility during the tilting movement.
  • FIG. 2A, FIG. 2C , FIG. 2D, FIG. 2E in which an elastic shoe 27 simultaneously ensures the seal to the outside, is better protected against the problem of contamination.
  • Fig. 2B again shows the compensating effect for the plaster pressure.
  • cams 21b and cams 27b are attached in the transverse direction to the holder. If 27 different Shore hardnesses are included in the sales package, the customer can change the hardness at will.
  • the shoes can be colored differently.
  • the cams in the bristle part can also be dispensed with. Many variants are possible here and not all of them can be shown here.
  • 3A, 3D show a travel toothbrush ready for use when the handle part 32 is placed on the holder part 31 rotated by 180 degrees. A loop 39 prevents the brush from being lost.
  • the handle part 32 also serves as an ejector for the used bristle part 22 (or also version 12).
  • 3B, 3C show the hygienically stowed bristle part 22 in the travel state.
  • 4A shows a longitudinal section through a toothbrush with an elastic coherent, preferably in the longitudinal direction in the direction of the bristle part offset from the center of gravity of the bristle part to achieve a compensatory movement for the deflection of the holder.
  • Fig.4C The swivel angle 44 is limited in the longitudinal direction and the swivel angle 45 in the transverse direction by a fixed stop.
  • FIG. 5A shows a longitudinal section through a toothbrush with an elastic coherent bristle part connection as a variation of 4, preferably a fixed connection offset in the longitudinal direction in the direction of the bristle part from the center of gravity of the bristle part, in order to achieve a compensating movement for the deflection of the holder.
  • Fig. 5C Similar to 4C in the longitudinal direction of the swivel angle 54 and in the transverse direction of the swivel angle 55 limited by a fixed stop.
  • Fig. 6 Here the advantages of an elastically suspended accessory, in this case a space brush, are shown. The flexibility of course brings great cleaning success here.
  • Fig.7 In contrast, a scraper z. B. rigidly mounted for dental plaque.
  • Fig. 8 A very simple font representation with eleven-segment representation using the example of letters M and U from elements 11 f, etc. enables the customer to individually label at home by scraping off the corresponding character segments 11 e, etc. There are additional costs in production not if the manufacturer's name (here COBRA, no right to reg. trade mark) is printed simultaneously with the eleven segment.
  • the bristle becomes the carrier for the active ingredient in the form of a tube with holes. From these holes can be washed out according to a carrier substance to be selected active substance to z. B. kill fungi, bacteria, germs or bring minerals and trace elements into the tooth, gums or oral cavity.
  • Fig. 10 Bristle tuft with bristle as a carrier for active ingredient in the form of a tube with a longitudinal opening
  • Fig. 11 Bristle tufts with bristle as a carrier for active ingredient in small spherical caps
  • Fig. 12 Bristle tufts with bristle as a carrier for the active ingredient in the form of a stranding of fine active ingredient bristles and fine bristles
