Description

Toothbrush bristle and toothbrush with tapering part with this bristle
The present invention relates to have the toothbrush bristle and the toothbrush that comprises this bristle of tapering part.
The common bristle that is applicable to toothbrush shows cylindrical cross section.Because these bristles have not enough clean-up performance in interdental space, and tend to injure gum, thus last century the nineties begin in some cases to provide and have most advanced and sophisticated bristle, (seeing for example EP-A-0596633).Because the diameter that reduces at the place, tip is so clean-up performance is improved in interdental space; Simultaneously, it is more soft that bristle becomes therefrom, reduced the danger of injury like this.On the other hand, the clean-up performance variation on dental surface.
In Korean Patent KR 261658 (corresponding to US-A-6090488), the toothbrush bristle with tapered end has been described, it is 0.04-0.08mm that bristle has diameter at the place, end of its tapering part.Therefore the tapering part of this bristle is not " point " now on above-mentioned meaning.Yet; Among the patent EP-A-1234525 of same afterwards applicant's application; Bristle with tapering part has been described, wherein diameter is merely 0.02mm or littler (therefore this bristle also is similar to the bristle of the point of relevant EP-A-0596633) now at the place, end of tapering part.As the reason that reduces diameter at the place, end of bristle again, the inventor thinks, from oral pocket, removes very difficulty of calculus with the bristle of KR 261658.
The present invention manages to provide improved bristle with tapering part.
Above-mentioned purpose reaches through the bristle that is used for toothbrush according to the present invention, and this bristle comprises:
A) cylindrical part, this cylindrical part have maximum constant cylinder diameter D Zyl
B) first tapering part adjacent with cylindrical part, this first tapering part have bristle ends and the end face that limits bristle ends, thereby first tapering part forms taper towards the bristle ends direction; With
C) central axis of the imagination, this central axis runs through the cylindrical part and first tapering part, and pierces through end face at the puncture site place; Therefore to have length L be the littler and 3mm at least of 10mm to first tapering part, like what begin to record at central axis from puncture site;
It is characterized in that it is 95-140 μ m that first tapering part has diameter D, as equaling cylinder diameter D ZylThe distance X place start from from puncture site that central axis records.
Preferred embodiment can obtain from relevant claim.
Be surprisingly found out that; Bristle of the present invention is compared with the prior art tip bristles; Have the higher effective life-span: according to applicant's discovery, crooked under the effect of the compression stress that tapered end produces during brushing teeth, this bending causes the fatigue fracture of bristle tips at any time; This is to be avoided through only bristle ends of the present invention being formed taper (not pointing).Find that simultaneously bristle of the present invention mechanically is so stable, so that they have clean-up performance on the cheek flank of tooth, this clean-up performance is similar to or even is superior to the clean-up performance of cylindrical bristle.In addition, bristle of the present invention is suitable for cleaning interdental space and contiguous facing better than the filament end with non-taper, because bristle of the present invention can better arrive contiguous facing.
Preferably, D is in the 100-130 mu m range, more preferably is in the 100-125 mu m range.In addition preferably, it is 120-165 μ m that first tapering part of bristle has diameter, and central axis records as beginning from puncture site being in apart from 1mm, and is 90-135 μ m in distance for the diameter at 0.1mm place, like what record with same procedure.
Bristle of the present invention (or in feasible technically scope) basically has the shape around the rotary symmetry of central axis.
The outline line of the tapering part of bristle (that is along with the diameter from the ever-reduced variation tapering part of puncture site to end face distance of central axis) is preferably by extending towards the dull mode that tilts of end face.Term " dull inclination " has common mathematical meaning in the application's text.More preferably, the outline line of tapering part strictly is the dullness inclination on the mathematical meaning.
The length of tapering part (perhaps curve U-shaped and have under the situation of two tapering parts at bristle of the present invention, the two length of two tapering parts) is preferably in the 6-10mm scope.
The end face of the end of first tapering part has a surface at above-mentioned puncture site place, and this normal to a surface preferably tilts to be not more than 30 ° with respect to central axis.If end face most advanced and sophisticated through repairing (seeing below this paper) forms, then this generally is automatically to accomplish; It also can carry out (seeing below this paper) through the suitable different round edge of handling the outer surface of end face and contiguous tapering part thereof.
Three kinds of preferred especially bristle types of the present invention are following:
I) have the bristle of cylindrical part, be adjacent just in time be one basically the length of rotary symmetry be 10mm or shorter tapering part (that is this bristle is similar to only at one end goes up the bristle that forms taper);
Ii) have cylindrical part and two bristles of the tapering part of rotary symmetry basically just in time; These two tapering parts are contiguous cylindrical part on opposite side; Each tapering part length be 10mm or shorter (that is; This bristle is similar to the bristle that two ends are points), especially therefore two tapering parts have substantially the same profile and
It is 10mm or shorter tapering part and the tip of rotary symmetry basically that the bristle that iii) has cylindrical part, this bristle have the length of rotary symmetry basically, thus tapering part with most advanced and sophisticated on opposite side contiguous cylindrical part.
In all embodiment of bristle of the present invention, the edge that possibly between end face and tapering part, produce can be removed through rounding, like what cylindrical bristle was used always.Rounding can be through common well-known method, for example through using sand paper to implement.
The preferred especially outline line of first tapering part is according to following facial contour table 1-4 approx.These profile tables show the diameter (mean value has 6 standard deviations that sample obtains of every kind of bristle from these bristles) that the puncture site of accompanying or follow central axis is different to the distance of end face and become.In the right side of each table outermost one row, show the maximum gauge (D of the cylindrical part of bristle Zyl).Consistent with the measured deviation of the diameter of first tapering part of the present invention, each table is further illustrated in distance X=D ZylThe diameter value that the place is corresponding.Profile table 1-4 is further illustrated in apart from the diameter value of the distance of end face 0.1mm in addition, so that illustrate near the preferred profile of first tapering part end face.
Figure G2008800247577D00041
Possibly take place occasionally, in some embodiment of bristle of the present invention, can not reasonably measure again in the end with apart from the diameter at end face small distance place.When the bristle ends of tapering part has stood rounding when handling subsequently, situation just like this.Thisly round processing and can produce irregular and zigzag shape and uneven surfaces in some cases at place, the end of bristle, this makes that directly to measure near the diameter of end face impossible.Bristle of the present invention is found now also pleasantly surprisedly; In these cases, near end face or the diameter of end can be approx confirm through the parabola extrapolation, thereby be taken at apart from end face 1; 2 and the diameter of the distance bristle of 3mm as the supporting-point of metaphor (parable).These supporting-points show with the black matrix numeral in above-mentioned table.In order to prove this work, above-mentioned table be illustrated in diameter that distance apart from end face is the zero originally actual bristle that records in place (like them after the finishing of end but before rounding processing) and below parenthetic through the definite diameter of above-mentioned extrapolation the two.Actual diameter and minimum through the deviation between the definite diameter of extrapolation.This simple extrapolation can be used for bristle of the present invention, and is not too remarkable because the curvature of tapered end is compared with the prior art bristle.
Bristle of the present invention is made up of the plastics that are applicable to toothbrush bristle.On the one hand, they preferably can be polyester, especially from (C2-C4)-1, and ω-alkylene dihydroxylic alcohols ((C 2-C 4)-1, ω-alkyleneglycol) and the available polyester of terephthalic acids (terephthalic acid).More preferably, polyester is PET (PET) (polyethylene terephthalate (PET)) or polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) (PBT) (polybutylene terephthalate (PBT)), and particularly preferably is PBT.On the other hand, they can be polyamide, especially from (C 2-C 8)-1, ω-diamines ((C 2-C 8)-1, ω-diamine) and (C 2-C 8)-1, alpha, omega-dicarboxylic acid ((C 2-C 8)-1, ω-dicar-boxylic acid) available polyamide; Especially preferred here is polyamide-6,6 (polyamide-6,6), for example nylon.
In order to produce bristle of the present invention, can from an end be point or two ends are commercially available bristles of point, perhaps begin from cylindrical bristle.When proposing to use immediately, the producer of these bristles is for example Pragma, Shinyoung, Wessen, Hylon, Sogo, Best Whasung or Cheil Jedang.
Bristle of the present invention has just what a first tapering part, and this bristle can for example obtain from commercially available bristle, and said commercially available bristle is sharp on an end only through repairing the tip, and forms tapered end and end face simultaneously.In order to make all bristles all have the length that is suitable for toothbrush bristle, another cylinder-shaped end of bristle can cut to certain size suitably.
Bristle of the present invention also has the part of second tapering part or point except first tapering part, the shape that this bristle generally can be through etching into end portion chemical suitable taper or point is by the cylindrical bristle preparation of commercially available appropriate length.This etching method is long-time well-known in pointing the field of bristle.Here tapered end also can randomly be repaired, so that reach the useful total length of bristle.
On the other hand, the bristle at two tips can have been bought on market, and it only need be repaired on two ends suitably, has two tapering parts and has the length (seeing example 1) that is suitable for toothbrush so that reach bristle of the present invention.
In chemical method for etching, bristle can at first be trimmed to the length of homogeneous.They can be etched through they vertically being inserted normally in 80-150 ℃ the etching solution then.The example of etching solution is inorganic solution such as concentrated base etching solution (for example the NaOH of 25-50% or the KOH aqueous solution) by weight or concentrated acid etching solution (for example the aqueous sulfuric acid of 60-98%) by weight.The example that is used for etching solution also can be the mixture of organic solvent such as m-cresol purple (m-cresol), trifluoroacetic acid (trifluoroacetic acid), o-chlorphenol (o-chlorophenol), trichlorophenol, 2,4,6,-T (trichlorophenol), DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO)), DMF (dimethyl formamide) and phenol (phenol) and tetrachloroethanes (tetrachloroethane).The normally 10-20 minute duration of immersing; Therefore during this period bristle can be randomly with selected arbitrarily constant speed or in time and the speed that changes little by little withdraws from from etching solution, therefore maybe be influenced through the profile (that is unicity of outline line) of overetched end.After etching, the end can be looked etching solution and decide water, diluted alkaline (dilute base), diluted acid (diluteacid) or suitable normally rinsing at room temperature of solvent, and dry.
Etching condition (duration of the type of etching solution and temperature, immersion) can be selected on the one hand like this so that the diameter D of tapering part after etching within the scope of the invention, that is 100-140 μ m.For this reason, the time of the bristle of the time ratio etching prior art point that carries out of etching is short.On the other hand, etched condition can be selected like this, so that at first taper off to a point, then it is repaired and obtains end face and tapering part.
If desired, the end of bristle can be in alkalescence or acid solution after the etching, and this is external with repairing before the end rounded.Whether the end need repair can be after taking out the end, simply through confirming with lens examination from solution.
The object of the invention also is a kind of toothbrush with bristle of the present invention.Bristle of the present invention can use a kind of mode to insert in the brush carrier of toothbrush, and this mode is similar to the mode that prior art is used single or two tip bristles.Here, the bristle that has two tapering parts or have a tapering part and a tip portion of the present invention preferably curves in the brush carrier of U-shaped with the fixed head insertion.On the other hand, of the present invention have only the bristle of a tapering part preferably to insert in the brush carrier with a kind of method with unbent shape, and this method is commonly referred to as " AFT method " (no anchor cluster method (anchor free tufting)) in this technology.
Further specify the present invention referring now to example and accompanying drawing, therefore in the accompanying drawings:
