Description

Description A MULTIFUNCTIONAL TOOTHBRUSH
Technical Field
[I] The present invention relates to a multifunction toothbrush, and more particularly to a toothbrush having a structure where a toothbrush for cleanness of a mouth, an interdental brush, a tongue cleaner, a toothpick, etc. are integrally assembled with each other, thereby increasing convenience.
Background Art
[2] In order to secure cleanness of a mouth, use of a toothbrush has been encouraged.
[3] Hereinafter, a typical toothbrush is described with reference to FIG. 19. FIG. 19 is a perspective view of a typical toothbrush. [4] As shown in FIG. 19, the typical toothbrush 10 has bristles 14 coupled to an upper part of a body 12. After tooth paste is strained on the bristles 14, the bristles 14 are brushed against teeth so as to remove alien substances, bacteria, etc. adhered to the surface of the teeth. [5] However, the bristles 14 of such toothbrush 10 are coupled to a large area of the toothbrush so as to clean the surface of teeth. Therefore, there is a problem in that alien substances and tartar (plaque) adhered between teeth can not be removed. [6] In order to resolve such a problem, an interdental toothbrush shown in FIG. 20 is suggested.
[7] FIG. 20 is a perspective view of a typical interdental toothbrush.
[8] As shown in FIG. 20, the interdental toothbrush 20 has interdental bristles 24 coupled to an upper part of a body 22. [9] The interdental bristles 24 have a small coupling area in comparison with the bristles
14 coupled to a typical toothbrush 10, so that the interdental bristles 24 can be moved between teeth. [10] Therefore, as the toothbrush 10 and the interdental brush 20 are used, it is possible to effectively remove alien substance and bacteria positioned in gaps between teeth.
[I I] However, since the toothbrush 10 and the interdental brush 20 are provided as separate products, the user has to buy two products and carry these separately during trips, etc. Therefore, there is inconvenience in using them.
