The specific embodiment

Specifically being proved for example of whole invention (000) at Fig. 1.It is made up of two main parts: the brush holder (100) of brush (200) and elongation.According to the demonstration of Fig. 2 a and Fig. 2 b, the handle of brush holder (102) is configured in brush holder (100) first ends (101), also and at the handle head (110) of second end (104) neck (103) by brush holder links together.It below is the shape (103) of neck-part of the handle.Neck-part of the handle (103) similarly is " S " font that has extended, when toothbrush viewed from the side, just as the shape of people's vertebra or cube spline shaft.According to the demonstration of Fig. 2 a, when watching from top and end (202) bristle, the neck of brush holder (103) tapers to a minimum section, handle head (110) is extended from the handle (101) of brush holder is past when it, widens slightly again.But this does not represent the cross section of neck-part of the handle (103) littler than the width of the handle head (110) of handle.The size of the section of neck-part of the handle (103) is relevant with the width of handle head (110).

First end (111) of handle head (110) is wideer than the adjacent part (103 ') of the neck (103) of brush holder.When first end (111) of handle head (110), second end (113) toward handle head (110) extends, second end (113) of mid portion (112) and handle head (110) has the same width.Second end (113) of handle head (110) is connected to mid portion (112), has become streamlined so that can easily insert brush (200) to handle head (110), and this can be proved subsequently for example.When watching from the next door of whole brush (100), it is the plane preferably, and just as the demonstration according to Fig. 2 b, except being the place that spud pile is arranged, this will be described later on.

According to the demonstration of Fig. 3 a and Fig. 3 b, brush holder has specific implementation method two, and according to the demonstration of Fig. 3 a, when watching from above, neck-part of the handle (103a) is molded into tendency on one side, and shape is (105) at an angle.According to the demonstration of Fig. 4 a and Fig. 4 b, the 3rd concrete, the neck-part of the handle of inclination (103b) can have littler curvature to the curve (106) near the elongation " S " of handle head (110).As a result, according to the demonstration of Fig. 4 b, from the next door of toothbrush, " S " of elongation before can not being equally elongation but can be toward the end face bending of toothbrush.(103,103a 103b) has the gradient of various types to meet user's various brush method demands to the neck of brush holder.Clearly, and the example of the brush holder of these elongations (Fig. 2 a, 2b, 3a, 3b, 4a 4b) must not be detailed one by one.In addition, difform handle head (110) can merge with the neck-part of the handle that different gradients are arranged and obtains other concrete grammars.

Simultaneously, Fig. 8 shows the general manufacturing of brush (200), and the top (201a) that is configured in bristle pad (201) by shell (203) is formed.Use insert formula molded (insert molding), multimode molded (over molding) or other existing production methods can reach this effect.Bristle pad (201) is rigidity preferably, used material for example, polypropylene or other resin or be not flexible but toughness and hard a little repacking cross and suitable for implanting the artificial or synthetic plastic of bristle (202).Bristle (202) is the bottom (201b) that is implanted in bristle pad (201).Any material, highly, the bristle (202) of design and form all is implanted on the bristle pad.Part or whole shell (203) are the flexible material manufacturings with elasticity, for example soft and the resilient artificial or synthetic plastic to user's gum.The various specific embodiment of brush (200) will further be illustrated subsequently.

Fig. 5 shows the specific embodiment one of brush (200), and its basic structure comprises the brush shell (203) that has bristle pad (201), and (205a is 205b) with a bottom (204) in relative wall portion.(205a is molded along the relative both sides of bristle pad (201) 205b), and that bottom (204) is that (205a 205b) connects and forms passage (206) with relative wall portion in relative wall portion.In this specific embodiment, bottom (204) are made by flexible flexible material basically.From the specific embodiment two that specific embodiment one is reequiped, (205a also is to be made by identical flexible material 205b) in relative wall portion.Fig. 6 shows the specific embodiment three of being reequiped from specific embodiment two, and second end (207) of brush (200) can be by second end wall (207a) capping, second end wall (207a) can be flexible material or not flexible material make.In any case the most handy flexible material of second end wall (207a) is because this invention is useful to gum.According to the demonstration of Fig. 6, in specific embodiment one and two, as long as the inlet (210a) of handle head (110) by first end (210) just can admission passage (206), that brush (200) just can and handle head (110) linking.

Fig. 7 shows the specific embodiment four of brush (200), and first end (210) of brush (200) can be had first end wall (209) capping of opening (209a), and first end wall (209) uses identical flexible material to make.This opening (209a) preferably can match with the cross section of the adjacent part (103 ') of neck-part of the handle (103), because when handle head (110) is placed into brush (200), this adjacent part (103 ') will enter that opening (209a).In any case this invention (000) can match with the opening (209a) of different sizes or enter the mouth (210a) and operate.

As example before, except second end (104) of handle head (110), the bigger part of handle head (110) is and the identical or wide neck (103) of crossing brush holder of the neck (103) of brush holder.The height of handle head (110) is bigger or identical than passage (206), is necessary so use resilient flexible material to come fabrication portion or whole brush shell (203).Give an example, Fig. 7 shows brush in the specific embodiment four (200), can be repacked into to have only first end wall (209) and bottom (204) be to make with resilient material; Or (205a is to make with resilient material 205b), and other part is but used the material of rigidity with relative wall portion with second end wall (207a) to have only first end wall (209).Brush in specific embodiment four (200) as shown in Figure 7, this is flexible can to allow bigger handle head (110) be pushed into the opening (209a) of less or identical size with the combination of rigid material, when handle head (110) during in lining, the hole, inside of brush shell (203) (203a), handle head (110) just can have been comprised by brush shell (203).When handle head (110) was pushed into opening (209a), first end wall (209) will be stretched so that opening (209a) broadens.Based on the elasticity of wall portion, so fully put into brush (200) when entire handle head (110), opening (209a) will recover size originally.

Bristle pad (201) can be hard fully or extremely not a half hard, so that bristle (202) can be implanted on the bristle pad.According to its principle, the present invention can insert handle head (110) in the shell (203) of perfect elasticity or the flexible brush of part (200), that brush (200) just can and the handle head (110) of brush holder (100) be engaged togather.The present invention also must allow brush (200) change from brush holder (100).Just can reach this purpose as long as the shape in the hole (203a) of brush meets handle head (100) or hole (203a) is smaller a little.Smaller a little hole (203a) is that the elastic portion branch is formed, rather than hard or rigid material makes, so fully enter in the hole (203a) when handle head (110), this elastic part will be stretched a little.In such event, handle head (110) will held in the hole (203a) of that brush (200).

Brush in all specific embodiments (200), the height of the interior skin (203b) of that hole (203a) are can be than the shape of handle head (110) less or be not less.In other words, the hole (203a) that constituted of the interior skin (203b) of brush shell (203) is the shape of handle head (110).Water is used as lubricated effect, and handle head (110) just can easily be placed in the brush (200) so.The elastomeric material of brush (200) can be extruded the water and air between the interior skin (203b) of the top layer of handle head (110) (114) and hole (203a).When not having air, suction can be caught two top layers tightly, cans be compared to two the same wet plastic cups that are difficult to separately stack.These characteristics make brush (200) and handle head (110) be connected tightlyer.Thicker handle head (110) can make flexible bottom (204) produce and hold tension force, so more can catch the interior skin (203b) of hole (203a).

The mode of the padlock that the present invention also comprises, so that instrument that need not be any, brush (200) also can be locked in handle head (110) safely, and can unexpectedly not drop out when brushing teeth.In addition, padlock can allow the instrument that the user need not be any take brush at any time apart.Next described all padlocks can be used in the specific embodiment of before illustrated perfect elasticity or part elasticity brush (200).

Fig. 9 shows the specific embodiment one of padlock (300), and that is the hole (302) of a pair of spud pile (301) that is placed at handle head (110) and the correspondence that is seated in brush (200).The position in corresponding hole (302) can be at any old place of brush (200), as long as do not hinder.The spud pile (301) of handle head (110) must be positioned at suitable position, when being placed into the lining, hole (203a) of brush shell (203) with convenient entire handle head (110), spud pile (301) can be pushed into corresponding lining, hole (302).Spud pile (301) preferably is placed at first end (210) of handle head (110), and near adjoining partly (103 ') of neck-part of the handle (103), the material of spud pile (301) is the same with brush holder (100).Simultaneously, corresponding hole (302) also can be placed on the bristle pad, and that corresponding hole (302) can be than second end (207) near brush (200).In the specific embodiment one of padlock, spud pile (301) and the corresponding holes (302) of crossing a pair of can be arranged more.

Next be how to be connected and to take brush (200) apart.Fairshaped handle head (110) is put into the inlet (210a) or the opening (209a) of brush (200), so just can be engaged on brush holder (100) to brush (110).When handle head (110) is placed into brush (200), shake brush holder (100) gently, so that handle head (110) can fully slide into.Press down the spud pile that sequences (301) with in the hole (302) of the correspondence of bristle pad (201), (302) that handle head (110) will be lockable.Just can unclamp the brush holder (100) of brush (200) with opposite program from elongation.

Figure 10 shows the specific embodiment two of padlock (400), and (401a, 401b 401c) are placed at the top (201a) of bristle pad (201) to one or more spud piles, and that is exactly (203a) the inside in the hole.In Figure 10, bristle (202) and brush shell (203) are removed, and only see bristle pad (201).(402a, 402b 402c) are placed at handle head (110) in corresponding hole.In the hole of the correspondence of handle head (110) (402a, 402b, 402c) can be hidden or penetrate but preferably penetrate.The linking of the padlock of the embodiment of the invention two (400) and disassembly procedure are with specific embodiment one is identical before.Second kind of padlock (400) arranged, and brush (200) and brush holder (100) be when being connected, and bristle (202) can make progress or mutually down, because handle head (110) is being the two ends symmetries.

The present invention also can work as gum massager, because the brush shell (203) of part is with soft material.If allow toothbrush of the present invention (000) improve the effect of massaging gum, and bottom (204), first end wall (209), (205a preferably also is with soft material 205b) to second end wall (207a) with the upward relative wall of brush shell (203) portion.In addition, the external surface layer (203c) of brush shell (203) can be textured, and that is exactly that uneven decorative pattern is used to do massage.Permanent picture can be printed on the external surface layer (203c) of brush shell (203), the more attractive that allows toothbrush become.
