技术领域
本发明涉及具有可包括用于清洁使用者口中的软组织表面的清洁器,牙齿清洁或牙齿处理元件,活动清洁零件,振动机械装置,和/或手柄握紧零件的各种零件的口腔护理器具。
背景技术
存在具有固定和/或机械驱动的可动清洁元件的各种牙刷结构。这些常规牙刷用于牙齿清洁/抛光操作并且典型地包括用于清洁/抛光操作的头部,和手柄部。头部典型地具有清洁元件连接其上,或用于清洁元件的机械驱动可动载体连接其上的平坦或微小起伏的表面。
刮舌板作为用于清除使用者舌头上的微小碎屑的设备而存在。常规刮舌板是用于刮使用者舌头的单一目的的单独设备。这些常规设备典型地包括不包括其他清洁元件的手柄和刮板部。
使用者通过握紧它们的手柄部操纵常规牙刷和刮舌板。手柄相对硬材料是典型的简单直线型杆,其对于使用者既不舒服也不容易操纵。由于这些设备一般在潮湿的条件下使用,在使用中它们的手柄经常是滑的。
许多人使用复合口腔护理器具,例如牙刷和刮舌板,在日常基础上完成多重口腔护理任务。例如,使用者可使用牙刷清洁他的牙齿并且然后使用刮舌板清除他舌头上的碎屑。使用者可再使用牙刷进一步清洁他的舌头。这样使用者可在潮湿环境中的单个时段中在各种口腔护理器具之间转换。
常规牙刷具有从坚硬头部延伸的清洁元件。牙齿和牙龈生来具有复杂错综的轮廓。由于牙刷头部的清洁元件的连接物的坚硬特性,清洁元件的方向不变化并且这样常规牙刷不能提供最佳的牙齿和牙龈清洁。常规牙刷因此在位于与头部有更大距离的牙齿接触区域,包括牙齿之间的邻接近端间的空间中具有加大困难。
发明内容
本发明涉及提供几种优势并且能用于复合功能的口腔护理器具。在本发明一实施例中,口腔护理器具具有多个从头部延伸的清洁元件,其连接在柔性连接在头部的支撑件上。清洁元件可包括向前倾斜清洁元件和/或向后倾斜清洁元件。清洁元件可进一步包括在支撑件中部的中间支撑件。
本发明实施例可是多功能的并且包括结合优势的各种特性的结合。一些实施例包括与牙齿清洁零件结合和/或与改善使用者握紧和操纵的手柄上的握紧零件结合的软组织清洁器。实施例可为手动的或机械驱动的设备,或它们的结合。

具体实施方式
下面的实施例以提供各种特征和功能的各种口腔护理器具结构的形式描述本发明的各方面。虽然这些方面在特定示例性实施例的文章中公开,但本发明提供包括这里描述的一个或更多特征的口腔护理器具。口腔护理器具可包括这里的一示例结构中描述的第一特征,和这里的另一示例结构中描述的第二特征。
换句话说,本发明打算以多种结合方法混合并匹配所公开实施例的特征以形成单个的口腔护理器具。这样,本发明使选择清洁元件结构、组织清洁器结构、手柄特征,夹紧特征,机械驱动特征,材料和方向等的结合以获得想要的结果,并带来例如增强清洁,牙面抛光,牙齿美白,舌头清洁,牙龈按摩等的额外的口腔健康益处成为可能。
名词“清洁元件”确定用在包括用于清洁、处理、抛光、美白、刮削、擦洗等的元件的一般意义中。清洁元件可包括,但不限于,尼龙或纤维刷毛,按摩元件和以环形剖面形状或包括直的部分或正弦曲线部分的任何所需类型形状设置的弹性指或壁。以刷毛的形式,清洁元件可经模内技术紧固在柔性膜或网上,通过延伸它们穿过柔性膜中的适当开口安装毛束块或片,或其他机械装置。
在这里公开各种口腔护理器具结构。一种结构为具有多组清洁元件的口腔护理器具,该清洁元件唯一安装到口腔护理器具头部上以方便一些分组相对被清洁的牙齿和牙龈的灵活定位。例如,头部的分组可协作以“环绕”单个牙齿导致在牙齿之间清洁/处理元件更深的穿透。这种结构能提供有效的全面清洁,例如,通过清洁元件组相对头部和彼此独立的运动。该结构和其他结构在下面描述。
图1-4示出与本发明一实施例一致的牙刷610。如图所示,牙刷610包括具有与手柄连接并从手柄延伸的头部614的细长手柄612。头部614分为彼此隔开的多个隔离清洁区域。如示出的,清洁区域包括设置在头部614的远端且从头的主体部930(图4)向外伸出的基体616。基体616包括至少一个且优选为多个的清洁元件618。头部614进一步包括在头部614的近端的基体或支撑件620。清洁元件618也从基体620向外延伸。
安装在合并基体616和620的清洁区域之间的是一对荚豆体622,624。每个荚豆体具有至少一个且优选为多个清洁元件。如后面的描述,荚豆体622,624具有比基体616,620更大的自由度。在本发明优选的实例中,荚豆体622,624为弹性元件以便荚豆体清洁元件增大运动范围而超过大致静止的或不可动的清洁元件618。由于各种清洁元件例如通过横向基本越过头部614延伸的沟槽728彼此分离,并且由于荚豆体622,624的弹性性质,清洁元件626能绕每个单独荚豆体的纵轴360度旋转。弯曲角度可由材料的弯曲能力确定。
牙刷610提供头部614,其中前(远端)和后(近端)区域处于相对固定的位置并且其中清洁/处理元件,例如刷毛束,618不具有任何额外的运动度。头部614的中间部,但是,具有能360度旋转的清洁元件626的两区域。
如图4所示,头部614包括支撑基体和荚豆体的主体部930。主体部930和基体616和620优选地由常规的硬塑料材料制成,例如聚丙烯,通常用于制造牙刷手柄和头部。荚豆体622,624,但是,被制成弹性的。在本发明优选例子中,荚豆体622,624的弹性通过提供从牙刷头部的主体部930延伸的薄径梁板932获得。梁板932连接到提供清洁元件626附加其上的支撑区域的薄垫片或板934的底部。将清洁元件626安装到支撑板934的方式利用各种清洁元件,例如刷毛和其他清洁材料,用公知的连接方法获得。
荚豆体622,624所需的柔韧性或弹性通过在多点注塑成型工序中用弹性材料936包围薄梁板932而提高。弹性材料936是弹性的以便梁板932恢复它们的原始形状或初始位置。该返回作用在梁板弯曲的相反方向引起主动运动,其通过引入额外的擦刷冲击帮助牙齿的清洁。
如图1,2和4最优示出的,荚豆体622,624包括朝向主体930设置的加宽部。支撑垫片934也被加宽。在每个荚豆体长度的中间每个荚豆体具有变窄的或纵向减小直径的中心部938。这样,每个荚豆体大致为蘑菇形。
梁板932可为任意合适的形状,例如具有向梁板提供薄尺寸或薄直径以方便梁板的可弯性的环形,正方形或任何其他几何形状的剖面。弹性体936可考虑作为任何合适厚度的连续层,如示出的其覆盖头部614的全部中心区域以便荚豆体622,624作为相同弹性材料的部分而合并。包括荚豆体622,624的头部614的部分可作为与参考图5和6在后面描述的组件相似的单独的组件成型。
虽然本发明用单个基体和单个荚豆体举例并且能用具有一定,但比荚豆体小的柔韧度的基体举例,但本发明优选的例子为其中基体大致为静止的或不可活动的。另外,本发明优选地举例其中存在多个这种基体和多个荚豆体。图示出本发明的结构,其中存在总共四个隔离的具有设置在头部614的中心部中的荚豆体的清洁区域。本发明可举例为其中清洁元件包括在每个基体和每个荚豆体上的多个刷毛或线束的结构。
如图3和4所示,每个基体616和620及每个荚豆体622和624可具有大致椭圆形的外表面。基体和荚豆体纵向对齐,但通过形成沟槽728的凹坑或开口区域彼此隔离。如也在图3中所示,荚豆体可具有比基体具有的更大的外表面或承载表面的清洁元件。
如图2所示,清洁元件618和626的端面是逐渐变细的,以便清洁元件618的端面在朝向头部614的中心方向上向外逐渐变细而清洁元件626的端面在远离头部614中心的方向上向外逐渐变细。这样,每组清洁元件618的最高点和它的相邻组清洁元件626大致彼此向每对基体和荚豆体616,622和620,624设置。
清洁元件的任意合适形式可作为本发明广泛示例的清洁元件618和626使用。名词“清洁元件”确定用于如上所述的一般定义。使用不同清洁材料作为牙刷的清洁元件可获得不同的影响。为了提供更好的去污,类似橡胶的材料或弹性体能与常规刷毛一起使用或使用它自己来“变亮/变白”牙齿。
可以理解清洁元件的特定示例仅用于示例性目的。本发明可将相同或不同清洁元件构造(例如短纤维,无锚定簇生(AFT)刷毛或模内技术(IMT)刷毛,等等)和/或相同刷毛或清洁元件材料(例如尼龙刷毛,螺旋刷毛,橡胶刷毛等)的各种结合为实例。相似地,当图2示出大致与头部614的外表面垂直的清洁元件时,清洁元件的一些或全部可与头部614的外表面以各种角度倾斜。因此选择清洁元件结构、材料和定向的结合以取得特定所需结果来产生另外的口腔健康益处,如增加清洁牙齿抛光,牙齿美白和/或牙龈按摩是可能的。
图5-6示出本发明另一实施例。牙刷1110A能够在指定区域对刷毛1026A,1126A提供柔性支撑。柔韧性通过将毛簇保持区域1034A,1134A设计成平板来获得,其与茎部1038A,1138A一起形成蘑菇形荚豆体。蘑菇形茎部1038A,1138A制成可弯曲的以在刷牙时允许植入刷毛的板1034A,1134A或清洁元件1026A,1126A在不同方向上运动,如关于图1-4的弹性荚豆体的描述。
图5-6示出牙刷1110A和特别地头部1114A的清洁元件或刷毛承载部1023,1123。如图5所示,刷毛或清洁元件承载部1023形成初始组件。该组件通过将清洁元件1026A引入塑料材料注入的注塑腔制成。随着注入材料变凉,它永久地将刷毛或清洁元件1026A陷入以形成毛刷或组件1023。
为获得功能性的柔韧性和合适的毛簇保持力,包括板1034A,茎部1038A和相互连接支撑件1025的刷毛保持部或组件1023的部分优选的为聚丙烯(PP)和软TPE的混合。一旦PP/TPE混合物与刷毛1026A结合,组件1023形成。组件1023然后在第二注塑循环中二次注塑整个牙刷手柄1112A和头部1114A以成型图6所示的完成的牙刷1110A。如果缺少期望的或需要的整个手柄1112A和头部1114A,组件1123被首先制成并且组件或刷毛保持部1123第二步制成。由于IMT工序已经描述,组件也能用AFT工序成型,其中清洁元件能熔合在一起并且被保存在板中,例如。
可以理解图5-6中描述的本发明可以示例为其中头部1114A的所有部分包括不具有较小弹性基体部,例如图1-4的基体616和620,的弹性蘑菇形部分。相似的,图5-6的组件的两注塑技术可在图1-4的实施例中用于成型作为初始制成的与头部1114A其他部分分离的单个组件的两个或更多中间荚豆体。最后的牙刷在第二注塑成型工序中制成,其中具有相互连接的荚豆体622,624的组件将注塑为由更大刚性材料制成的手柄612和头部614。
如所述的,图2示出以上下或锯齿形方式逐渐变细的清洁元件618和626的端面。图5-6示出可代替的锥形,其中端面形成平滑的,平缓的,凹面形。如果需要,其他的形状也可以使用,例如用于端面的平面形或凸起形和图2所示的锯齿形或上下形。相似地,图1-4实施例中的清洁元件的末端,和图5-6的末端,可具有各种形状例如锯齿形,凸起形,凹面形或平面形。
图7-25E示出本发明另外实施例,其进一步示出这里公开的各种样式,特征和功能结合进单个口腔护理器具结构中。图7-25E公开提供具有分离的清洁元件组的牙齿清洁器的口腔护理器具结构,清洁元件组可每个安装在固定基体或弹性荚豆体上,并且除牙齿清洁器外还能提供软组织清洁器。该结构可以是提供动力的或手动的设备,且手柄可包括抓握特性。同样,图7-25E公开的口腔护理器具大致包括与图1-6一起论述的适合可包括弹性荚豆体的清洁元件组的样式。可以理解其他特性可与这些结构一起使用,例如在共同未决申请11/122,224和10/768,363中论述的机械驱动特性(即,这里描述的各种实施例的头部可为振动头部)和贯穿说明书论述的牙齿清洁特性。
图7-9示出口腔护理器具9910,例如牙刷,与本发明另一实施例一致。如那里所示,牙刷9910包括头部9914和手柄8103。手柄8103根据2004年7月30日的美国申请10/902,257教导结合此处参考而成型,虽然可以使用其他手柄结构,例如图1-6中示出的手柄612,1112A。头部9914大致和与图1-6一起论述的头部614相同,除清洁元件9918和设置在清洁元件头部相对侧的轮廓面9940。头部9914大致包括在基本固定结构中分别支撑清洁元件9942和9944的基体616和620。头部9914也包括设置在基体之间用于分别支撑清洁元件9946和9948的荚豆体622和624。如与图1-6共同论述的,荚豆体622和624能为连接其上的清洁元件9946和9948提供弹性装配,并允许清洁元件9946和9948的旋转和/或振动。
图7示出设置在清洁元件头部相对侧的轮廓面9940。轮廓面9940包括用于在头部后面上提供起伏或波纹表面的高出部9950和凹部9952。表面9940可相对光滑用于按摩口腔组织并且,如图10和12-18示出,该表面可包括用于接合软口腔组织的软组织清洁元件并且另外产生清洁益处。
图9是头部9914的上视图,其示出用于头部9914的牙齿清洁元件9918的结构。清洁元件9918由弹性壁元件,伸长刷毛簇或其他类型的清洁元件形成,其是独立可变形的。这样,清洁元件能对牙膏产生有限的且可控制的流动,也保持充分的柔韧性以通过清洁元件改善使用者牙齿的清洁和使用者牙龈的刺激。
清洁元件9918在大致确定的大致与头部9914的表面垂直的应用方向A(见图8)上朝向需清洁的啮合面。清洁元件9918,但是,包括相对方向A对准(无角度)和倾斜(成一定角度)的清洁元件的混合。有角度和无角度的清洁元件的设置提供有效的接合和口腔表面的清洁,其通过可动荚豆体结构得到进一步提高。安装在荚豆体622和624上的清洁元件9946和9948利用它们的弹性支撑结构以各种方式适于啮合使用者的牙齿,牙龈和其他表面。同样,清洁元件9946和9948包括向头部的顶端倾斜的前向元件9950,和向手柄倾斜的后向元件9952。如示出的,前向和后向元件9950,9952优选地设置在它们各自荚豆体的前后侧,并且更优选地,设置在荚豆体拐角区域中。这种位置和方向增加了元件9950和9952在接合各自荚豆体上其他清洁元件之前先接合需清洁表面的可能性,其在保持其上清洁元件接合表面时促使各自荚豆体弯曲。
例如,当口腔护理器具9910向前移动以便头部9914引导牙刷时,前向元件9950在后向元件9950或设置在元件9950和9952之间的清洁元件之前初始接合需清洁表面。当牙刷向前运动而前向元件接触需清洗表面时,元件9950的前进角使荚豆体622和624向后弯曲。荚豆体向后弯曲,和相应弯曲的它们的向前回弹作用,提高设置在荚豆体上的清洁元件9946和9948的清洁效力。元件9950和9952的倾斜结构与其中清洁元件与牙刷表面9954垂直设置并且既不向前也不向后倾斜的替代实施例相比,改善了荚豆体的弯曲。
荚豆体清洁元件9946和9948也包括不倾斜的清洁元件9954,其有益于清洁尖锐的表面。另外,清洁元件9946和9948包括在荚豆体中心部的一对弯曲直立壁9956。该壁通过IMT或AFT工序形成浓密充满的刷毛簇,或该壁能包括弹性元件。其他结构是可设计的。对9956中的每一壁具有与对中另一壁的凹入侧相对的凹入侧。直立壁9956的弯曲结构和相对的凸起侧在口腔护理器具的使用中改善其中牙膏的保持。另外,弯曲结构提供一对刚性壁,其在他们荚豆体的中心定位中支撑荚豆体以防止清洁元件9946,9948的过度弯曲。
设置在固定基体616和620上的清洁元件9942和9944设置成与可动荚豆体上的清洁元件9946和9948合作来有效地清洁口腔表面。每个基体包括刷毛9960,一系列直立壁9962,和倾斜的清洁元件9964,9966。刷毛9960大致为在口腔结构之间(例如牙齿)有效地插入缝隙和凹进部中的不倾斜柱状体。
系列直立壁9962设置为大致形成指向剩余清洁元件9918的凹面壁。这样,前基体616的凹面壁9962具有向后指向手柄的凹侧面,并且后基体620上的凹面壁具有向前指向刷毛9918的剩余物的凹侧面。在这种结构中,相对凹面壁一起作用以通过它们盛装牙膏的凹槽形状,并通过形成凹面壁的直立壁之间的降低其中牙膏流动的小缝隙将牙膏保持在刷毛9918范围中。另外,形成凹面壁的直立壁是不倾斜清洁元件,其在使用中为头部9914提供支撑并且当使用者施加过度的向下压力时抵抗清洁元件的过度弯曲。
倾斜的清洁元件9962和9964向可动荚豆体622和624倾斜以与其上连接的清洁元件9946和9948协作用来有效地清洁口腔表面。同样,后基体620包括向前倾斜元件9964,且前基体616包括向后倾斜元件9966。倾斜的清洁元件9962和9964与另一对彼此向内的可动荚豆体的倾斜清洁元件9950和9952接近设置。这样,当荚豆体向后和向前弯曲时,倾斜清洁元件9962和9964插入到相应的倾斜清洁元件9964和9966之间。这提供了类似剪切的作用,其提高清洁效力并且避免限制荚豆体运动的相对清洁元件9944,9966和9962,9964之间的干扰。
与图7-9的实施例和下面实施例相关的所述清洁元件优选地使用AFT技术成型,如本领域公知的。该技术方便远离传统短纤维垂直毛簇的清洁元件结构的设置。利用AFT技术,清洁元件的锚定端熔化在一起以形成一块清洁元件,其能以各种尺寸、角度和方向设置在头部板上。这样,该块清洁元件大致吸收在荚豆体结构中,而不嵌入在支撑介质中。
现在参考图10-13,示出根据本发明进一步实施例的口腔护理器具10210。如那里示出,口腔护理器具10210包括手柄8103,具有连接在头部第一侧的清洁元件10218的头部10214,和设置在与第一侧相对的头部第二侧上的软组织清洁器10280。口腔护理器具10210大致包括口腔护理器具9910的样式和特征,除了关于清洁元件的结构和软组织清洁特征。清洁元件10218主要包括直立壁,其可包括弹性元件,或可通过IMT或AFT工序成型为密集包裹的刷毛簇。其他结构是可预期的。直立壁除提供清洁益处,还对牙齿擦刷和抛光有好处。清洁元件10218也包括中心柱状清洁元件10270,其可为刷毛,用于穿透口腔表面。如图10所示,每个中心清洁元件10270延伸超过同一荚豆体上最近的其他清洁元件。另外,中心清洁元件具有凸出顶角。同样,中心清洁元件10270有效地穿透并接合口腔表面和表面之间的缝隙。
与图4和7的结构相似,且如图11所示,清洁元件10218的尖端或终端是逐渐变细的,这样当接合需清洁表面时,荚豆体分别向它们的邻接静止基体接合。这样,在使用中,清洁元件9948大致偏向与后基体620上的清洁元件9944接合处,并且清洁元件9946大致偏向前基体616上的与清洁元件9942接合处。当该设备移动时,这种偏置与经倾斜清洁元件和清洁表面的接合产生的荚豆体移动共同起作用。增加基体622和624的运动和弯曲进一步提高了口腔清洁器具的清洁效力。
软组织清洁器10280包括多个从头部10214第二侧上的表面10284延伸的伸出部10281,其与牙齿清洁元件10218的延伸方向大致相反。软组织清洁器10280设置在轮廓面上,如图7中示出的轮廓面9940,其包括高出部9950和凹部9952以在头部第二面上提供起伏的或波浪的表面。伸出部10281可分别成型并胶合到轮廓面或连接其上的其他结构上面。另外,它们可与头部10214整体成型。伸出部每个可由与其他伸出部不同和/或与其他部分不同的材料制成。软材料,例如TPE或类似物,能固定到头部10214上以形成伸出部。但是,更硬的材料或用于制造口腔护理器具的实质上任何已知材料都适合伸出部。
伸出部10281包括多个凸起10282,其从在使用者口中接合软组织的轮廓面9940伸出。伸出部10281可具有各种形状、样式、剖面、结构等,并且软组织清洁器可具有用于伸出部的各种结构。
如图13所示,凸起10282大致覆盖清洁器区域10288的后表面10284,其在头部的较低部分从后基体620相对区域延伸到在头部顶部区域的前基体616相对区域。凸起以充分连续的模式分散在清洁器区域上。清洁器区域包括靠近表面10284边缘部的高出部10290,和设置在高出部和表面中心部之间的凹部。高出部和凹部的结构通过在最初接触使用者软组织过程中将作用力集中在高出部来提高软组织清洁器的效力,其相对平坦的结构增加了对软组织的穿透。当使用者施加额外的力时,凹部接触软组织以帮助清洁软组织。如果应用过大的力,凹部有助于限制过度穿透。当凹部区域的凸起接合软组织时,它们对清除由高出部上的凸起更深穿透松动的碎屑提供另外的益处。这样,高出部和凹部上的伸出部一起作用来先松动然后清除使用者软组织中的碎屑。
图14和15示出根据本发明的口腔护理器具的另一实施例10610。口腔护理器具10610大致包括口腔护理器具10210的相同样式和特征,除了关于软组织清洁器10680上伸出部的结构。不是具有横过清洁器区域的凸起,软组织清洁器10680仅包括高出部10288上的凸起10282。作为代替,多脊部10294设置在包括表面10284中心部的凹部区域10290中的一些之中。脊部可以由与凸起相同或不同的材料制成。例如,凸起和脊部可由相同类型的弹性体制成,但是用于脊部的弹性体比用于凸起的弹性体更坚硬。
脊部10294具有在使用中提供可变程度的软组织接合的可变长度。同样,当不同长度的脊部成功接合软组织部分时,更长或更短的脊部共同起作用以松动并清除碎屑。脊部10294从邻近表面10284设置的宽基体区域向更窄的顶部10696逐渐变细。这样根据使用者应用力的数量增加软组织接合的程度。
图16示出根据本发明实施例的口腔护理器具的另一实施例10810。口腔护理器具10810大致包括口腔护理器具10610的相同样式和特征,除了关于软组织清洁器10880上的伸出部结构。由于它不包括脊部10294,软组织清洁器10880不同于软组织清洁器10680。这样,软组织清洁器包括沿表面10284侧部的仅设置在高出部10288上的凸起10282。同样,平稳清洁是经设置在高出部的凸块提供的。平稳清洁对于口腔清洁器具的同步功能是有好处的,例如当使用者清洁他的牙齿时,同时经软组织清洁器10880同步接合他面颊内部的软组织。平稳接合能与软组织平稳清洁一起提供舒适的感觉刺激。
图17和18示出根据本发明的口腔护理器具的另一实施例10910。口腔护理器具10910大致包括口腔护理器具10610相同的样式和特征,除了关于软组织清洁器10980上的伸出部结构。由于脊部10994不设置在表面10284的中心部,但设置在设置于邻接成对高出部10288之间的凹部10290中,软组织清洁器10980不同于软组织清洁器10680。另外,脊部10994大致小于脊部10294。同样,提供平稳清洁,其与口腔护理器具10810相似,在设备的同步功能过程中是有好处的。
现在参见图19-20示出与本发明进一步实施例一致的口腔护理器具12000。如其中所示,口腔护理器具12000包括手柄8130,具有框架12004的头部12002,头部前侧上的基体或荚豆体12010,12020,12032和12034,从荚豆体延伸的清洁元件12218,和设置在与前侧相对的头部后侧上的软组织清洁元件12280。口腔护理器具12000大致包括图10-13中示出的口腔护理器具的样式和特征,除了以后所述的。软组织清洁元件12280与软组织清洁器10280大致相同。但是,可使用各种软组织清洁器结构,例如,图14-18的软组织清洁器。
图19和20所示的口腔护理器具12000示出具有四个荚豆体:近端荚豆体12010,远端荚豆体12020和两个中间荚豆体12032和12034。近端荚豆体和远端荚豆体从在头部后部上的框架12004延伸。图19和20示出的实施例不同于图1-18示出的实施例,因为中间荚豆体12032和12034不直接连接在后部,头部12002的框架部,但是悬垂在近端荚豆体12010和远端荚豆体12020之间。近端荚豆体和远端荚豆体连接在框架上,但是中间荚豆体悬垂在框架上。同样,中间荚豆体隔开框架,这样空隙12050设置在它们之间。
中间荚豆体12032和12034通过桥式支架12060悬垂,其可包括一对由空隙12065分离的基本平行的支撑件12067。第一桥式支架在近端荚豆体12010和中间荚豆体12034之间纵向延伸,并且一第二对桥式支架在远端荚豆体12020和中间荚豆体12034之间纵向延伸。另外,桥式支架在中间荚豆体12032和12034之间纵向延伸。这样每个中间荚豆体由一对相对的桥式支架支撑。
虽然图示实施例示出在每个中间荚豆体的每侧上的成对支撑件12067,其他结构是可行的。例如,代替一对支撑件12067,单个桥式元件可设置在近端或远端荚豆体和邻接中间荚豆体之间,和两中间荚豆体之间。这种单个桥体比每个单独成对支撑件12067更宽,以便单个桥式支架的宽度大致与成对支撑件加其中空隙12065的宽度相等。
中间荚豆体12032和12034大致具有比近端和远端荚豆体更大的自由度。在一结构中,桥式支架12060和12070是基本刚性的。虽然如此,悬垂设置可向中间荚豆体提供适中的弹性。优选地,更大弹性结构,桥式支架12060和12070是允许弹性元件从中间荚豆体12032和12034延伸的可弯曲特性,以具有比从近端和远端荚豆体12010和12020分别延伸的清洁元件更大的运动范围,其是大致固定的或不可移动的。弹性桥式支架可由弹性材料,例如热塑性弹性材料制成。其他类似橡胶的材料是可用的,例如其他热塑性材料或热塑性氨基甲酸乙酯,或塑性高分子物质,或任何它的混合物。
在弹性结构中,桥式支架12060和12070是弹性的并且允许中间荚豆体绕它们的支撑轴扭转和/或向框架12004移动,当在器具使用中向下的力被施加向中间荚豆体时。进一步地,桥式支架的弹性特性允许中间荚豆体返回它们的初始形式或初始位置,当该力减少时。另外,当口腔护理器具在与手柄8103平行的纵向方向上运动时,中间荚豆体在它们接合需清洁表面时纵向偏转。中间荚豆体在纵向方向上的偏转也是由于桥式支架12060和12070的弹性特性。这种恢复作用可在运动方向相反的方向上引起主动运动,其通过引入擦刷过程帮助牙齿清洁。
近端荚豆体12010和远端荚豆体12020之间的距离比每个中间荚豆体12032和12034的宽度更大,并且在图19示出的实施例中为中间荚豆体之一宽度的两倍。进一步的,在所示实施例中,中间荚豆体12032和12034是以略小于中间荚豆体12032和12034厚度的距离远离框架悬垂的。桥式支架12060和12070的长度显著的小于中间荚豆体12032和12034的长度,并且,在图19和20所示的结构中,是几乎中间荚豆体1/5的长度。结果,由于图19和20示出的结构的两中间荚豆体,桥式支架12060和12070跨度分别小于远端和近端荚豆体12010和12020之间总距离的25%。
另外,图19和20示出的结构包括形成近端荚豆体12010的上部,远端荚豆体12020的上部,桥式支架12060和12070和中间荚豆体12032和12034的整体组件12500(附图标记未示出)。整个组件12500可由弹性材料,例如软热塑性弹性材料(TPE)制成。再次,可使用其他类似橡胶的材料,例如其他热塑性材料,或热塑性氨基甲酸乙酯,或塑性高分子物质,或任何它的混合物。近端和远端荚豆体的上部12033和12035能连接到从下层头部12002延伸的伸出部(未示出),从而提供足够的支撑和强度给远端和近端荚豆体12032和12034。上部也可作为整体特征与头部框架一起成型,例如从整体的塑料模具。当作为分化特征成型,与框架,桥式支架和/或中间荚豆体相比,远端和近端荚豆体能由相同或不同材料成型。例如,桥式支架和中间荚豆体可由第一热塑性材料制成,并且远端和近端荚豆体能分别地由第二热塑性材料,例如聚丙烯成型。在这种结构中,桥式支架和中间荚豆体能作为焊接或胶粘到近端和远端荚豆体的整体构造制造。进一步地,桥式支架,中间荚豆体,和远端和近端荚豆体的上部能作为连接到框架上的整个元件成型。
如参考图7和8所示实施例论述,安装在中间荚豆体上的清洁元件12218适于以利用它们弹性制成结构的各种方式接合使用者的牙齿、牙龈和其他表面。例如,如在图19中所示,设置在中间荚豆体上的清洁元件能包括向头部顶端倾斜的向前元件12090,和向手柄端倾斜的向后元件12092。这些向前和向后元件的位置和方向能增加该元件在各自荚豆体上的其他清洁元件之前最初接合需清洁表面的可能性,因此当保持其上的清洁元件接合表面时促使各自荚豆体弯曲。
如图19进一步所示,清洁元件12218可包括直立壁12094,如上所述其可是弹性的或刷毛基体的。除了清洁益处,直立壁能提供有益的牙齿擦拭和抛光。清洁元件12218可进一步包括中间柱形清洁元件12270,其可包括一个或更多用于穿透口腔表面的刷毛。柱形清洁元件可超过相同荚豆体上的其他邻接清洁元件而伸出,并且它们可具有大致尖角顶端。同样,中间清洁元件12270能有效地穿透和接合口腔表面和表面之间的空隙。
清洁元件12218的顶端或终端是逐渐变细的,这样悬垂荚豆体分别被促进向它们邻接的远端或近端荚豆体12020和12010,分别地,当接合需清洁表面时。这样,在使用中,从中间荚豆体12032延伸的清洁元件可大致地偏向与从近端荚豆体12010延伸的清洁元件的接合,然而从中间荚豆体12034延伸的清洁元件大致地偏向与从远端荚豆体12020延伸的清洁元件的接合。当设备移动时,该偏向经倾斜清洁元件与清洁表面接合,与确定的荚豆体的移动协作。增加悬垂中间荚豆体12032和12034的运动和弯曲进一步增强口腔护理器具的清洁效力。
现在参考图21,示出的牙刷13000与图19和20示出实施例相似并且大致具有相同样式和特征,除了关于它的中间荚豆体和清洁元件13218的结构及缺少软组织清洁器。牙刷13000包括手柄8103和具有固定和悬垂清洁元件结合的头部13002。头部13002包括框架13004,近端和远端荚豆体13010和13020,和悬垂在近端和远端荚豆体之间的单个中间荚豆体13050。手柄8103,头部13002及远端和近端荚豆体13010和13020可作为整体构造由热塑性材料,例如聚丙烯成型。
单个中间荚豆体13050具有设置在中间荚豆体中间部分的弹性部分13055。该弹性部分优选地由弹性材料制成,例如热塑性弹性材料(TPE),而中间荚豆体优选地由更加坚硬的材料制成,如聚丙烯。中间荚豆体13050通过连接近端和远端荚豆体13010和13020以形成桥式支架13060的模制TPE隔膜13070而保持在位置中。隔膜13070可形成包围成对固定的近端和远端荚豆体13010和13020并且连接到中间荚豆体13050相对侧上的环形。近端和远端荚豆体的侧部中的凹槽(未示出),和中间荚豆体,可接收隔膜13070。另外,隔膜13070可经胶粘和/或熔化结合连接到荚豆体上。
隔膜13070允许中间荚豆体13050向框架13004移动,当在清洁操作中应用足够的力时。当该力应用到中间荚豆体时,中间荚豆体的相对半体13051和13053也将关于弹性部13055弯曲。结果,从中间荚豆体13050的任一端延伸的两组清洁元件13218能向另一旋转。中间荚豆体13050能弯曲回它的初始位置,当中间荚豆体上将它向头部13002移动的力减小时。
从中间荚豆体13050延伸的清洁元件13218大致地中间逐渐变细,其是图10和11和图19和20示出的清洁元件结构的大致相反方向。当应用适中力给牙刷13000作用在他们的牙齿时,中间逐渐变细促使清洁元件13218穿透使用者牙齿的邻接近端间的空间。当使用者对牙刷应用更大力时,中间荚豆体10350移动接触框架13004并且引起中间荚豆体关于弹性部13055弯曲并且进一步接合应用清洁元件的邻接近端间的空间。
现在参见图22A和22B,示出的牙刷13010与图21示出的实施例相似并且大致具有与牙刷13000相同的样式和特征,除了关于它的框架。如示出的,框架13007包括设置在框架中部内并且穿过它的宽度的弹性铰链元件13080。铰链元件可由比框架其他部分更有弹性的TPE或其他弹性材料形成。铰链元件也可包括设置TPE或其他弹性材料的框架的减少厚度区域。例如,框架的近端部13082和框架的远端部13084可由相对刚性材料,例如聚丙烯制成,并且可包括设置在其中的薄颈部区域(未示出)。颈部区域允许框架的近端和远端部相对彼此旋转。弹性材料13081可环绕颈部来阻尼关于颈部的旋转。弹性材料可经胶粘剂连接、熔化连接或其他连接机械装置,例如适于颈部的压紧与框架粘合。
铰链元件13080允许在使用中框架13004的近端和远端部分13082和13084分别相对彼此旋转。这样,头部13010能大致地绕需清洁表面,例如使用者的牙齿,卷曲或弯曲,如图22B所示。另外,铰链元件13080简单地改善了用于适应各种清洁特征、使用方向和作用力的头部的整体可弯曲性。例如,如图22B所示,铰链元件13080允许框架13007像弓一样弯曲。在另一例子中(未示出),铰链元件13080能允许头部的顶端部分向后弯曲,其在桥式支架被拉伸拉紧时将促使中间荚豆体13050远离框架移动。
现在参见图23A和23B,示出的口腔护理器具13020与图21中示出的实施例相似,并且大致地具有与牙刷13000相同的样式和特征,除了关于它的中间荚豆体,清洁元件13218的设置,和设置在与前侧相对的它的头部后侧上的软组织清洁元件13280的存在。软组织清洁器13280大致与图10-13和19-20的软组织清洁器10280和12280分别相同。但是,可使用各种软组织清洁器结构,例如图14-18的软组织清洁器。牙刷13020包括基本单个的中间荚豆体13058和缺少弹性的牙刷13000的弹性部。这样,中间荚豆体经更大刚度中间荚豆体提供需清洁的口腔特征的固定接合,而由它的悬垂结构提供保持益处。同样,中间荚豆体通过相对框架向前,向后,侧面和/向下移动适合作用在头部上的清洁力。但是,它的相对大的,刚性尺寸可向许多连接其上的清洁元件13218提供一致的方向。
从中间荚豆体延伸的清洁元件13218与牙刷12000的清洁元件12218相似,并且大致包括与图19示出的清洁元件12218相同的结构、样式和特征。但是,如中间荚豆体13058是跨越与图19的牙刷12000的中间荚豆体12032和12034相同的距离的单个荚豆体,中间荚豆体13058包括在它的中间区域内的额外清洁元件。如图23A所示,中间柱状清洁元件13096设置在中间荚豆体的中间部分,其与牙刷12000的柱状清洁元件12270相似。柱状清洁元件13096与柱状清洁元件12270协作以有效地穿透和接合口腔表面和表面之间的空隙并且向中间荚豆体传递向下作用力,当过多清洁力作用在清洁元件上时。另外,几个径向清洁元件13098以大致类似轮辐结构在中间荚豆体的中间区域从中间柱状清洁元件13096延伸。径向清洁元件通过荚豆体中间部分接合需清洁的特征,其在中间荚豆体的侧部提供圆周结构。圆周结构提高了需清洁的口腔特征的接合并且能在使用中帮助保持中间荚豆体清洁元件中的牙膏。
现在参见图24A和24B,所示牙刷14000与图21示出的实施例相似并且包括手柄8103和具有固定和悬垂清洁元件的结合的头部14002。头部14002包括框架14004,具有清洁元件14018的远端和近端荚豆体14010和14020,并且单个中间荚豆体14050悬垂在远端和近端荚豆体之间。手柄8103,头部14002和远端和近端荚豆体14010和14020可作为整体构造由热塑性材料,例如聚丙烯成型。软组织清洁器14280与图10-13和19-20的软组织清洁器10280和12280大致分别相同。但是,可用各种软组织清洁器结构,例如图14-18的软组织清洁器。
中间荚豆体14050具有设置在中间荚豆体中部,或更特别地在一对荚豆体部之间的弹性部14055。弹性部优选地由弹性材料,例如热塑性弹性材料(TPE)制成,而中间荚豆体优选地由更坚硬的材料,例如聚丙烯制成。中间荚豆体14050通过连接近端和远端荚豆体14010和14020以形成桥式支架14060的模制TPE隔膜14070保持在位置中。隔膜14070可形成围绕成对固定的近端和远端荚豆体14010和14020并且连接到中间荚豆体14050相对侧上的环。远端和近端荚豆体侧部,和中间荚豆体中的凹槽(未示出)可接收隔膜14070。另外,隔膜14070可经胶粘和/或熔化连接而连接到荚豆体上,例如。
中间荚豆体14050上的清洁元件14218与图19和20示出的清洁元件结构相似,除了多个从框架14004延伸并穿过中间荚豆体14050中一个或更多开口(未示出)伸出的中间、弹性清洁元件14270。清洁元件14270进一步包括在它的上表面上的按摩和/或抛光元件14272。当两清洁元件14270示出时,意识到作为要求可使用仅一个,或多于两个清洁元件14270。清洁元件14270可连接在框架14004上,或从头部14002的相对侧上的软组织清洁器14280穿过框架14004延伸。如果后者,清洁元件14270可与软组织清洁器14280同时塑模成型。在任一情形中,由具有荚豆体14010,14020和14050的隔膜14070确定的整个结构,能在清洁元件14270上装配成基体14004。其他构造方法是可预期的。
隔膜14070允许中间荚豆体14050和清洁元件14218向框架14004运动,通过清洁元件14270的引导,当在清洁操作中应用充分作用力时。这种运动提供前面未表述的额外功能。一功能是在由固定和移动的清洁元件14018,14218分别围绕的头部的中间牙齿抛光。另外,清洁元件14270包括相对头部14004位于固定高度,由在擦刷压力下向头部14004后退的清洁元件14218围绕的按摩和/或抛光元件14272,使清洁元件14272在擦刷期间更加有效。
当擦刷压力作用在中间荚豆体14050时,中间荚豆体的部分14051和14053,及清洁元件14270将关于弹性部14055弯曲。结果,从中间荚豆体14050任一端部延伸的清洁元件14218和清洁元件14270,能向另一个旋转。当在中间荚豆体上将它向头部14002移动的力减小时,中间荚豆体14050能弯回它的初始位置。
现在参见图25A-25E,所示牙刷15000A-C与图23A和23B示出的实施例相似并且包括手柄8103和具有固定和悬垂清洁元件的结合的头部15002。头部15002包括框架15004,具有清洁元件15018的近端和远端荚豆体15010和15020,和由悬垂在近端和远端荚豆体之间的荚豆体部15051-15054(图25A至25D的实施例)或荚豆体部15055至15058(图25E的实施例)确定的中间荚豆体15050。手柄8103,头部15002和近端和远端荚豆体15010和15020作为整个结构由热塑性材料,如聚丙烯成型。
中间荚豆体段15051-15058通过成型连接近端和远端荚豆体15010和15020以形成桥式支架15060的TPE隔膜15070保持在位置中。隔膜15070可形成围绕固定近端和远端荚豆体15010和15020对和中间荚豆体段15051-15058的环,其部分可由沿头部15002的纵轴(图25A和25B的实施例)或横轴(图25C和25D的实施例)的弹性间隙15062隔离。可替代的,图25E的实施例的段15055-15058可由沿头部纵轴和横轴的弹性间隙15062分离。荚豆体中的凹槽(未示出)可接收隔膜15070。另外,隔膜15070可经胶粘和/或熔化连接而连接到荚豆体上,例如。
中间荚豆体段上的清洁元件15218与图23A和23B示出的清洁元件的结构相似,除了具有沿穿过在隔膜15070中开口(未示出)伸出的它的上表面的抛光脊部15272的中间清洁元件15270。该清洁元件15270以与图24A和24B的清洁元件14270,相对图25A和25B的隔膜15070和中间荚豆体段15051,15053相似的方式其作用。但是,因为中间荚豆体段15051,15053沿头部15002的纵轴通过间隙15062隔离,该段15051,15053在擦刷压力下倾向远离伸出清洁元件15270旋转,或绕清洁元件15270旋转,因此激励鸟翅膀运动,导致效力的增加和邻接近端间的穿透。相似的运动沿图24C和24D的段15052,15054的横轴进行,并且更多的运动沿图25E的段15055-15058的纵轴和横轴进行。这样,清洁元件15270提供荚豆体段15051-15058能绕其运动的中间枢轴。
清洁元件15270可与框架15004连接,或穿过从头部15002相对侧的软组织清洁器(未示出)的框架15004延伸。如果后者,清洁元件15270可与软组织清洁器同时成型。在任一情况中,由具有荚豆体15010,15020和中间荚豆体15050段15051-15058的隔膜15070确定的整个构造能装配为清洁元件15270上的基体15004。其他构造方法是可预期的。
