Definitions

  • the present invention refers to a dental floss brush, whose objective is to unify the comfort of use and manageability of a traditional toothbrush with the efficacy of another cleaning means such as It is the dental floss.
  • This invention has its application within the pharmaceutical industry, and more specifically in that of utensils and products intended for oral and dental hygiene.
  • Dental floss is usually distributed in the market in reels provided with a small concave blade to facilitate the cutting of the section that is going to use .
  • the thread must be used with the hands, winding one end in the fingers of one hand and the other in those of the other to ensure a correct tension of the same, having to introduce practically the entire fist inside the mouth very open to access all the interdental spaces.
  • dental floss applicators are described and claimed that incorporate in one or another end a housing for the spool or bobbin of thread and in the other an arc-shaped or "U" hook, for fixing the floss between their branches for direct application in the interdental space, incorporating thread tensioning systems and cutting blades for the disposal of the used piece of thread, as well as that they are made of plastic materials, but none are It resembles the characteristics of the invention described below.
  • the invention that has been devised, consists of a tool that adopts the morphology of a toothbrush because of its handling and application inside the mouth, which has incorporated various elements that collaborate in the location of the spool of dental floss as well as its tension in an area in the form of a hook provided for this purpose in the upper part of said brush, so that it can be introduced into the mouth and easily applied in any of the interdental spaces by moving it in a forward and backward movement to perform a correct cleaning, without effort or difficulty and with total hygiene.
  • the dental floss brush that advocates the invention, consists of a central body of approximately rectangular elongated shape, preferably made of a rigid and resistant plastic material such as polycarbonate or the like, which adopts a hook shape at one of its ends and it houses in the other a spool of thread housed in a screw that holds it, externally presenting a longitudinal groove on the side opposite to the aforementioned hook through which the thread to which it serves as a guide runs.
  • An intermediate piece presses the thread thanks to a hand located on the opposite side, linked to a screw and a spring, keeping it tensioned in the recess provided by the hook-shaped end of said central piece and which will constitute the section of thread a Use for interdental cleaning.
  • Two guide pins channel the thread and hold it in place by pulling it on each new use, preventing the already used thread from coming into contact with the clean thread.
  • the central body as well as the elements linked to it, are inserted inside a sheath or casing that will preferably be made of a transparent plastic material, such as for example polycarbonate, thus allowing to control the amount of thread consumed, which It is divided into two parts, an upper one that acts as a protective cover and a removable lower one to allow the thread spool to be changed.
  • a transparent plastic material such as for example polycarbonate
  • the final end of the thread already used comes out of a hole located in the lower end of the housing, which near that point has a small concave blade designed to facilitate cutting it.
  • the clean thread coming from the spool is wound on a first guide bolt, passes under the aforementioned presser piece, and runs through the external groove to surround the center piece and pass through the gap that forms the end in the form of hook, being again pressed by the presser piece and rolled to the other guide bolt, to subsequently exit through the rear hole of the sheath.
  • the invention has the advantage of having an extremely long service life compared to traditional toothbrushes (these must often be replaced due to the deformation of the bristles), being only necessary the replacement of the spool of thread .
  • the flossing brush of the invention evidently greatly improves the use of traditional dental floss, which, as already mentioned, is inconvenient to use in addition to being unhygienic.
  • the new dental floss brush therefore represents an innovative structure with structural and constitutive characteristics unknown until now for this purpose, reasons that, together with its practical utility, provide it with sufficient grounds to obtain the privilege of exclusivity that is requested.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un système à fil dentaire comprenant un corps (1) allongé dont une extrémité adopte la forme d'un crochet (2) et dont l'autre extrémité présente un rebord (3), une bobine (4) de fil (5) fixée par une vis (6), le corps présentant une rainure (7) sur le côté opposé au crochet (2) par laquelle défile le fil (5). Une pièce de compression (8) placée dans la zone centrale du corps (1) exerce sur une pression sur le fil (5) sous l'effet d'une manivelle (9) placée sur le côté opposé et tournant autour d'une vis (10). Un ressort (11) maintient le fil (5) tendu dans le creux (12) formé par le crochet (2) du corps (1). Deux chevilles guides (13) du corps (1) guident le fil (5) et évitent ainsi le contact du segment de fil (5) propre avec le fil du segment déjà utilisé.
