Description

It is known that children are not very much like brushing teeth. And it is also known that the teeth are not always brushed thoroughly enough become. Proper control of the cleaning performance is also not always the case. Is also at Children watch that their teeth are not always clean properly.

The invention specified in protection claim 1 the underlying problems are that so far Teeth not thorough enough, not long enough, not regularly and not correctly and controllably be cleaned.

This problem is compounded by those listed in the patent Features resolved. The achieved with the invention Advantages are in particular that by connecting the toothbrushes to one Animation center, especially children to brush their teeth be stimulated. Through motion and pressure detectors, built into the brush head and brush holder you can control a game that you can Brings game console to the screen. Like with one Computer mouse. Preferably you should use games like the figure of the little tooth. Is not cleaned regularly and not thoroughly, the figure appears on the screen in bad Status. For example: The little tooth cries, because it’s in pain or it’s getting black. Children would brush their teeth voluntarily.

It can be moving games with sequels, etc. The device can save the cleaning performance. For regularity, duration and thoroughness.

With the help of built-in sensors, it is for parents possible to control children's teeth brushing. One can display when the brush head is changed must become. The calculator can do the cleaning save the brush heads and when not changing block the respective game. Would be conceivable proof of health insurance. (Bonus system) for regular brushing of teeth. All possibilities the computer can be exhausted with the invention become. With collectibles in toothpaste tubes would be another cleaning effect is achieved. E.g. small Milk tooth, small Molar teeth ect.  

An embodiment is explained with reference to FIG. 1 of my invention.

1, there is shown in FIG. Zahnputzanimations- and the control center with a liquid crystal monitor 7, interface connection 2 to the bracket 4 Module 3 with games equipped interface connection 6 to the electronic toothbrush with a brush head 8 7.

A module 3 is inserted into the console 4 . There is a game on the module. The toothbrush 7 with the brush head 8 is attached to the console. When the console is turned on, the corresponding game appears on screen 1 .

Built-in sensors in the brush head or in the brush holder 7 and in cooperation with the corresponding software of the game console, it is possible to influence the game on the screen. After the cleaning power calculated by the computer is sufficient, the software can stop the game so that children do not play with the device continuously and the stimulus is not lost. For adults, instead of games, for example horoscopes, you could offer cooking recipes ect. Or music. I imagined the adventures of little teeth for children. In picture and sound. The console is equipped with several memories. Everyone has their own. So that everyone can control their cleaning time and optimal cleaning performance. The insertion openings 5 of the console 4 are designed so that each has a differently designed insertion opening in order to avoid confusion. The connectors of the interfaces 6 are corresponding. With the software it is possible to control the cleaning times. So that, for example, children only clean at certain times, the device can be controlled so that it only switches on every few hours, and then switched off again for a certain time after cleaning. The ongoing stories each end with a child looking forward to brushing their teeth, for example. You can call up all tooth brushing data from any user for any period at any time.
