Abstract

The present patent concerns an object to be used for the cleaning of teeth and gums, of a different form from those generally used at present, which are in the form of a toothbrush, with a different method of use from that of a toothbrush. The invention is constituted by a tool which at one end has a haired structure (1) for a cleaning action (rubbing) on the teeth and, at the opposite end, a profile of the toothpick type (3) to remove food debris from the teeth. The haired section (1) or brush, is protected by a cap (4) which can contain a certain quantity of product suitable for the cleaning and treatment of teeth. The object is profiled in such a way that the action of the brush (1) and of the toothpick (3) can be applied either to the outside surfaces or to the inside surfaces of the teeth. <IMAGE>

Description

Le présent brevet concerne un objet à employer pour la propreté des dents et des gencives de forme différente de ceux aujourd'hui généralement employés, qui sont en forme de brosse ou brosse à dent, avec une méthodologie d'utilisation differente de celle de la brosse à dent.The present patent relates to an object to be used for the cleaning of teeth and gums of a shape different from those currently generally employed, which are in the form of a brush or toothbrush, with a methodology of use different from that of the brush. with tooth.

L'invention est constituée d'un ensemble de poils (1) en plastique, à une extrémité d'un support (2) lui même en plastique, qui rend l'ensemble similaire à un pinceau a utiliser pour la propreté interne et externe des dents; l'autre extrémité du support à la forme d'un cure-dent (3) avec des dimensions et profils tels qu'il puisse être introduit dans l'espace interdentaire pour enlever les déchets de nourriture.The invention consists of a set of bristles (1) made of plastic, at one end of a support (2) itself made of plastic, which makes the set similar to a brush to be used for the internal and external cleaning of teeth; the other end of the support in the form of a toothpick (3) with dimensions and profiles such that it can be introduced into the interdental space to remove food waste.

En DE - U 8509811 ,il y a la description d'une brosse avec un manche pointu qui est destiné au nettoyage des prothèses. Le tout peut être comme une brosse à dent avec cure-dent; mais l'ensemble est produit avec plusieurs différentes opérations.In DE - U 8509811, there is the description of a brush with a pointed handle which is intended for cleaning prostheses. It can all be like a toothbrush with toothpick; but the set is produced with several different operations.

L'ensemble de poils en plastique, soie ou autre peut être fixé au support en plastique, métal ou autre, mais pour réduire les coûts de fabrication et, pour obtenir(puisque c'est l'objectif) un prix extrêmement réduit, l'ensemble poilu (1) constitue un tout avec le support (2) et avec le cure-dent (3), préférablement le tout est produit avec un matériau approprié et avec une unique opération de moulage.The set of plastic, silk or other bristles can be attached to the plastic, metal or other support, but to reduce manufacturing costs and, to obtain (since this is the objective) an extremely reduced price, the hairy set (1) constitutes a whole with the support (2) and with the toothpick (3), preferably the whole is produced with an appropriate material and with a single molding operation.

La partie avec les poils est couverte (contenue) d' (dans) un capuchon (4) en plastique ou autre matériau qui a la fonction de protection contre des agents externes et peut être un réservoir des produits pour la propreté des dents.The part with the bristles is covered (contained) with (in) a cap (4) of plastic or other material which has the function of protection against external agents and can be a reservoir of products for the cleaning of the teeth.

Dans ce cas là, en levant le capuchon, le pinceau est par conséquent imbibé (impregné) de produit.In this case, by lifting the cap, the brush is therefore soaked (impregnated) with product.

L'objet doit être opportunément profilé (5), afin que l'action du pinceau et du cure-dent s'applique soit sur la partie externe soit sur la partie interne dents.The object must be suitably profiled (5), so that the action of the brush and the toothpick is applied either on the external part or on the internal part teeth.

Pour son utilisation, soit par la partie interne, soit par la partie externe des dents le cure-dent peut avoir des formes différentes à condition qu'il n'endommage pas les gencives ; la forme en demi-lune est appropriée.For its use, either by the internal part, or by the external part of the teeth the toothpick can have different forms provided that it does not damage the gums; the half-moon shape is appropriate.

La forme de l'ensemble des poils peut être de types differents comme celles représentées dans le dessin F1, F2, F3, et autres encore et aussi les profils P1, P2, P3, et autres encore.The shape of the set of bristles can be of different types such as those represented in the drawing F1, F2, F3, and the like, and also the profiles P1, P2, P3, and the like.

La méthodologie pour l'utilisation de l'objet pour les opérations de propreté des dents peut être différente de celle de la brosse à dent normalement utilisée.The methodology for using the object for teeth cleaning operations may be different from that of the toothbrush normally used.

Avec le pinceau on peut agir soit perpendiculairement aux dents pour une action de simple brossage, soit parallélement au vestibule des dents cela sur la partie interne ou la partie externe des dents.With the brush you can act either perpendicularly to the teeth for a simple brushing action, or parallel to the vestibule of the teeth on the internal part or the external part of the teeth.

Etant bien entendu que l'objet a une extremité poilue et celle opposée a la forme de cure dent, une variante est constituée du support qui, inséré entre la pinceau et le cure-dent peut être en partie rigide et en partie en gomme avec le tuyau interne (6) qui contient le produit. En pressant la partie flexible rend possible l'éjection du produit par un canal (7). Aussi dans ce cas-là un capuchon protége la partie des poils, et afin qu'il n'y ait pas l'éjection du produit le trou ou éventuellement les trous sont fermés d'un appendice (8) situé à l'intérieur du capuchon même, figure C.It being understood that the object has a hairy end and that opposite to the shape of a toothpick, a variant consists of the support which, inserted between the brush and the toothpick can be partly rigid and partly rubber with the internal pipe (6) which contains the product. By pressing the flexible part makes it possible to eject the product through a channel (7). Also in this case a cap protects the part of the hairs, and so that there is no ejection of the product the hole or possibly the holes are closed with an appendix (8) located inside the hood itself, Figure C.

Les opérations de propreté des dents avec le pinceau avec cure-dent peuvent être différentes de celles aujourd'hui utilisées, mais elles permettent et invitent l'éxécuteur, sans aucune difficulté par rapport aux méthodes actuelles, à contourner les gencives en intervenant sur les parties des dents et des gencives qui normalement sont négligées.The teeth cleaning operations with the brush with toothpick can be different from those used today, but they allow and invite the executor, without any difficulty compared to current methods, to bypass the gums by intervening on the parts teeth and gums that are normally overlooked.

Le résultat concret d'un tel objet se traduit, aussi si ne sont pas tous nouveaux les precédés et chaque élément dont on s'est servi pour le concevoir, en un objet de realisation nouvelle et originale capable de satisfaire les intérêts commerciaux et industriels non satisfaits, ou satisfaits de différentes manières en obtenant par conséquent des nouveaux résultats dans le domaine de produits industriels.The concrete result of such an object is translated, also if not all the previous ones and each element which we used to design it, into a new and original object of realization capable of satisfying the commercial and industrial interests not satisfied, or satisfied in different ways, thereby obtaining new results in the field of industrial products.

Claims (3)
