Definitions
- the present invention relates to a musical toothbrush device of wind instrument style.
- Dental hygiene is a crucial routine but difficult to establish constantly in children.
- Several systems have been developed to make brushing more attractive and increase its enthusiasm, but the complexity of their realization and their high cost were a barrier to their elaboration and development.
- the few systems developed until then as musical toothbrushes have the particularity of producing, mechanically or electronically, specific sounds or pre-recorded melodies which, due to their repetitive aspect, end up generating a form of weariness and brush abandonment, and brushing.
- the device according to the invention makes it possible to remedy the lack of attendance in terms of brushing teeth by making the brushing period fun and attractive, mainly for children, but also for adults.
- Figure 1 shows the external appearance of the brush.
- Figure 2 shows in section the brush as a whole.
- Figure 3 shows the main parts of the brush.
- Figure 4 shows an exploded view of the mobile device.
- Figures 5 and 6 show two sectional views of the mobile device.
- the device having, in addition to a traditional toothbrush head (1), is characterized by the association of a hollow handle (2) within which a movable element (3) slides, in the manner of a piston, producing sounds like a reed for wind instrument.
- the movements and orientation of the brush influence the mobile device, according to the laws of gravity, which descends and rises inside the handle.
- the size of the mobile device (3a) is very slightly smaller than the internal dimension of the handle (2) in order to allow the mobile device to slide easily along it, but to limit the air circulating between the walls. Acting like a real mobile and independent piston, the device acts on the air pressure during back and forth movements, with suction and expiration phenomena.
- the air is concentrated and then passes through the orifice located in the central axis of the mobile device (3b).
- This orifice is itself the support of a rigid concave spout (3c) and a vibrating tongue (3d) facing it with very slight spacing.
- These last elements (3b, 3 ⁇ , 3d) constitute a real reed for wind instrument.
- the pressurized air passing through the middle of the mobile device vibrates the tongue and allows this reed to emit sounds.
- the inside of the handle (2) then acts as a sounding board and the nature of the sounds, with rising or falling tones, varies depending on the position and direction of the mobile device inside the handle.
- a partially open patch (4) seals the lower end of the handle.
- the addition of a mouthpiece (5) in the lower extension of the handle allows the sound to be amplified slightly and the brush to be placed vertically. Above all, this position effectively drains and dries the moisture or water inside the handle, which can alter or make it impossible to emit sounds.
- the brush can be improved by adding a device to neutralize or attenuate the production of sounds.
- a protective device for the toothbrush head can be added in order to take the instrument brush everywhere and facilitate its transport.
- the external appearance of the brush may vary, from an ergonomic point of view to respond to better functionality; as well as from an aesthetic point of view with the use of various shapes, designs, logos, figurines, lettering or manufacturing materials.
