Definitions

  • the invention relates to an oral hygiene article, in particular an interdental brush device for cleaning interdental spaces.
  • Interdental brushes or even toothbrushes are toothbrushes for cleaning interdental spaces and hard-to-reach areas in the oral cavity.
  • Interdental brushes are available in various shapes and thicknesses, with the strength of an interdental brush depending on the size of the interdental space.
  • Interdental brushes usually consist of a handle for gripping the interdental brush and a brush insert, which is used to clean a tooth space.
  • the brush insert is subject to high wear during use, which is why a brush insert must be replaced regularly.
  • the bristles of a brush insert are usually attached to a wire body, which can strongly deform in use. This is particularly important when the interdental brush needs to be packed and transported for travel purposes.
  • interdental brushes are usually considered as disposables and are made in a simple way and with the cheapest materials. There is thus a need to provide a concept of an interdental brush that is as efficient as possible, which, on the one hand, takes account of the rapid wear of the brush inserts and, on the other hand, enables reliable functionality with low production costs.
  • JPH07298924 A discloses an interdental brush having a compact structure. It comprises a pivotable arm of a rotatable base part and an arm body. The arm is pivotally mounted on a bracket. The interdental brush is arranged on the arm body so that it can be completely removed from the holder.
  • the publication DE20200501520 1 U 1 shows a carrying object that allows the function and use of an interdental brush. For this purpose, a cavity is created in the wear object, in which the interdental brush is arranged.
  • This carrying article may be, for example, a ballpoint pen.
  • the document US2003231918 A 1 discloses an interproximal brush with two brush units.
  • the brush units each consist of a handle with a rectangular Cross-section and attached to one end of the handle interproximal cleaning agents such as bristles or dental floss.
  • the interproximal brush also has a housing consisting of two receiving parts.
  • the receiving parts have a hollow box shape for receiving the brush units and contain there Gurgel- and disinfectant.
  • the document DE 2960 1661 U 1 shows an interdental cleaning device comprising a brush with a wire stem, which can be releasably secured to a holder, wherein the brush for storage or transport in a formed by the holder or associated with this sheath can be accommodated.
  • the known in the art portable or suitable for transport interdental brushes are usually expensive to manufacture and include many individual components. Due to the high number of individual components, there is a risk of loss of individual parts. In addition, the known transportable interdental brushes have very simple and imprecise joint mechanisms, which can easily break.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a device belonging to the technical field mentioned above, which overcomes the disadvantages of the prior art.
  • an efficient concept of an interdental brush device for cleaning interdental spaces is to be created, which is simple to manufacture and precise as well as easy to use.
  • the invention comprises a device for cleaning interdental spaces with a first holding element, wherein the first holding element has a first holder for receiving a brush insert and a first hinge element.
  • the first joint element comprises a first ring-shaped sliding surface.
  • the device comprises a second holding element, wherein the second holding element has a second holder for receiving a brush insert and a second hinge element.
  • the second joint member also includes a second annularly shaped sliding surface.
  • the device has a joint, which is arranged between the first holding element and the second holding element and comprises the first joint element and the second joint element.
  • the arrangement of two retaining elements allows two different or two identical brushes to be placed on the device.
  • a user of the device can select and apply the appropriate brush insert as needed.
  • the second brush insert may serve as a replacement for a worn first brush insert.
  • the functionality of the joint between the first holding element and the second holding element is essential, since two brush inserts could interfere with each other in a parallel orientation of the holding elements.
  • the arrangement of the joint between the first holding element and the second holding element thus enables, on the one hand, the fact that the specific positioning of the holding elements relative to one another can be adapted to the application in a user-specific manner. On the other hand can be achieved by parallel arrangement, a compact positioning of the device, whereby the transport and carrying capacity are particularly simplified.
  • the invention is based on the idea that the first annular sliding surface and the second annular sliding surface are arranged so that they are in direct contact with each other and a rotation of the first holding member relative to the second holding member a sliding movement between the first annular sliding surface and the second annular Sliding surface causes.
  • the technical advantage is achieved that the joint can be realized particularly stable and without play.
  • the hinge consists only of the first holding element and the second holding element. So it is not necessary joint axis or other rotational body to ensure the functionality of the joint. This is due to the fact that two annular sliding surfaces are directly in contact with each other and ensure a high degree of stability by this surface contact.
  • a movement of the joint ie a relative movement between the first holding element and the second holding element, thus causes a sliding movement between the first annular sliding surface and the second annular sliding surface in the opposite direction.

  • the snap means can already be integrated in the production in the first holding element.
  • the snap means may be formed in the form of radially formed lips. In addition to the function of connecting the first holding element to the second holding element, these radially formed lips can additionally serve as sliding guide means during a rotation between the first holding element and the second holding element.
