CEPILLO DE DIENTES TODO-EN-UNO QUE INCLUYE ELEMENTOS DE ALL-IN-ONE TEETH BRUSH INCLUDING ELEMENTS OF
LIMPIEZA ADICIONALES RECARGABLES CLEANING ADDITIONAL RECHARGEABLE
CAMPO TÉCNICO TECHNICAL FIELD
La presente invención se relaciona con un kit de limpieza oral que corresponde a una estructura externa de cepillo de dientes que cuenta dentro de un único dispositivo un cepillo de dientes, una crema dental y una porción de seda dental, brindando al usuario comodidad funcional y protección, al tiempo que permite que el transporte de estos tres elementos sea de forma higiénica y adecuada. Así las cosas, el cepillo de la invención es adecuado para viajes o para ser usado en la oficina y hasta en el hogar, en donde dicho cepillo cuenta con un mango en el cual contiene dos depósitos recargables, uno dispuesto para la crema dental y el otro para la seda, donde estos depósitos pueden ser recargados por el usuario y no se requiere la compra de un cepillo cada vez que alguno de estos dos elementos se acaba. The present invention relates to an oral cleaning kit that corresponds to an external toothbrush structure that includes within a single device a toothbrush, a toothpaste and a portion of dental floss, providing the user with functional comfort and protection , while allowing the transport of these three elements in a hygienic and adequate way. Thus, the brush of the invention is suitable for travel or for use in the office and even at home, where said brush has a handle in which it contains two rechargeable tanks, one arranged for toothpaste and another for silk, where these deposits can be recharged by the user and the purchase of a brush is not required every time one of these two elements is finished.
ANTECEDENTES DE LA INVENCION En la actualidad, el transporte de los dispositivos para la higiene oral es de vital importancia, razón por la cual se requiere que los mismos se puedan llevar de forma adecuada, higiénica y fácil. No obstante, a menudo se presenta el
inconveniente que alguno de los elementos de limpieza oral se agote en un momento específico y se requiera entonces que el usuario adquiera un elemento adicional que va a necesitar de un transporte adicional. Así las cosas, en el estado del arte existe una pluralidad de divulgaciones relacionadas con este tipo de elementos de limpieza oral, dentro de los que se encuentra el documento FR 2691341 que describe un kit de limpieza de dientes de un único uso que comprende un cepillo hecho de un tubo plástico redondo, hueco y de plástico rígido el cual es maleable cuando está caliente. Un extremo del tubo se dobla en un ángulo y se ajusta con cerdas de nylon en su extremo abierto, mientras que su otro extremo se corta en un ángulo para formar un raspador dental, donde el extremo que contiene el raspador se puede ajustar con ranuras para un mejor agarre. El cepillo se empaca en un contenedor con dos compartimientos, uno para el cepillo y otro para la crema dental, que se separan por un sello. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION At present, the transport of oral hygiene devices is of vital importance, which is why it is required that they can be carried in an adequate, hygienic and easy way. However, the inconvenient that any of the oral cleaning elements is exhausted at a specific time and then the user is required to acquire an additional element that will need additional transport. Thus, in the state of the art there is a plurality of disclosures related to this type of oral cleaning elements, among which is document FR 2691341 which describes a single-use tooth cleaning kit comprising a brush Made of a round, hollow and rigid plastic tube which is malleable when hot. One end of the tube bends at an angle and fits with nylon bristles at its open end, while its other end is cut at an angle to form a dental scraper, where the end containing the scraper can be adjusted with slots for a better grip The brush is packed in a container with two compartments, one for the brush and one for toothpaste, which are separated by a seal.
No obstante lo anterior, este documento presenta la desventaja que contiene únicamente un cepillo y la respectiva crema dental, pero no incluye ningún elemento adicional para la limpieza interdental, tal como un compartimiento que permita la inclusión de seda dental. Adicionalmente, presenta el problema que es de uso único, es decir, es desechable y cuyos compartimientos no son
recargables, hecho que requiere que el usuario deba transportar una pluralidad de estos dispositivos para varios días, lo cual es incómodo e indeseable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this document has the disadvantage that it contains only a brush and the respective toothpaste, but does not include any additional elements for interdental cleaning, such as a compartment that allows the inclusion of dental floss. Additionally, it presents the problem that is single use, that is, it is disposable and whose compartments are not rechargeable, a fact that requires the user to transport a plurality of these devices for several days, which is inconvenient and undesirable.
De otra parte, se encuentra el documento JP 2004097485 el cual divulga un conjunto antibacterial para la limpieza dental el cual se ve bien y aloja un cepillo de dientes, un tubo de crema dental y una seda dental y cuyo contenedor como tal se puede cambiar para ser un cepillo de dientes, es decir, para conformar la estructura de éste. Así, el conjunto consiste entonces de tres partes que incluyen una parte superior del mango del cepillo, una parte de tapa superior antibacterial que la cubre y una parte de tapa inferior antibacterial para alojar el tubo de crema de dientes y la seda dental. De este modo, cuando la tapa superior es removida y se inserta en la tapa inferior, el conjunto se cambia para ser un cepillo de dientes. Sin embargo, aunque el cepillo descrito en esta anterioridad incluye seda dental y crema de dientes, al tiempo que es de fácil transporte para uso inmediato por parte del usuario, el mismo presenta el problema que no cuenta con la crema de dientes incluida en el cepillo sino que tiene un compartimiento para guardar un tubo de crema como se consigue comercialmente, hecho que requiere de la compra de un elemento adicional, donde dicha crema no es dispensable sino que se remueve y se utiliza, es decir, simplemente se almacena en el cepillo sin dispensar directamente en las cerdas del cepillo.
Ahora bien, en el estado del arte también se encuentra el documento US 20051 11905 que enseña un conjunto de cepillo y agente limpiador en una combinación tal como un cepillo de dientes, crema dental y dispensador de seda dental, en donde el cepillo dispensador comprende una cabeza hueca que forma un agujero, un cuello hueco fijado a la cabeza hueca y en comunicación abierta con la misma, un mango de reservorio unido al cuello hueco que contiene un material que fluye (crema dental), un pistón movible dentro del mango de reservorio, un tapón de succión conectado y en comunicación con el mango del reservorio y el cuello hueco, y un botón de tapón el cual se oprime para que la crema pueda ser dispensada y entregada directamente en el cepillo para uso por parte del usuario. On the other hand, is JP 2004097485 which discloses an antibacterial set for dental cleaning which looks good and houses a toothbrush, a tube of toothpaste and a dental floss and whose container as such can be changed to be a toothbrush, that is, to shape its structure. Thus, the assembly then consists of three parts that include an upper part of the brush handle, an antibacterial upper cover part that covers it and an antibacterial lower cover part for housing the toothpaste tube and dental floss. Thus, when the top cover is removed and inserted into the bottom cover, the assembly is changed to be a toothbrush. However, although the brush described in the foregoing includes dental floss and toothpaste, while it is easy to transport for immediate use by the user, it presents the problem that does not have the toothpaste included in the brush but it has a compartment to store a tube of cream as commercially available, a fact that requires the purchase of an additional element, where said cream is not dispensable but is removed and used, that is, it is simply stored in the brush without dispensing directly on the bristles of the brush. However, in the state of the art there is also document US 20051 11905 which teaches a brush and cleaning agent assembly in a combination such as a toothbrush, toothpaste and dental floss dispenser, wherein the dispensing brush comprises a hollow head that forms a hole, a hollow neck fixed to the hollow head and in open communication with it, a reservoir handle attached to the hollow neck that contains a flowing material (toothpaste), a movable piston inside the reservoir handle , a suction plug connected and in communication with the handle of the reservoir and the hollow neck, and a cap button which is pressed so that the cream can be dispensed and delivered directly to the brush for use by the user.
No obstante, el conjunto de cepillo dental y elementos adicionales definido en esta anterioridad presenta la desventaja que la crema dental o el fluido se dispensa mediante el uso de presión hecha por parte del usuario, hecho que es indeseado ya que se requiere que el usuario realice una fuerza que puede llegar a no ser suficiente y se crea un gran desperdicio de la crema dental. Así mismo, este documento no especifica que el reservorio para la crema sea recargable, lo cual es indeseable porque requiere que el usuario adquiera la crema dental de forma separada y la transporte de esta misma manera.
Finalmente, dentro del arte previo se encuentra el documento US 7011467 el cual enseña un kit de higiene oral que comprende un ensamble de cepillo de dientes dispensador de crema y un ensamble de seda dental, donde el ensamble de cepillo de dientes comprende un cepillo dispensador de crema, un ensamble de bombeo de crema, un pistón, y un reservorio de crema, donde el ensamble de bombeo es operable para empujar el pistón dentro del reservorio de crema para forzar la crema desde el reservorio. Así, el ensamble de seda dental está asociado con el ensamble de cepillo de dientes y comprende una tapa que soporta el carrete, un carrete de seda, y una tapa de seda dental. However, the set of toothbrush and additional elements defined in this above has the disadvantage that the toothpaste or the fluid is dispensed by the use of pressure made by the user, a fact that is undesired since the user is required to perform a force that may not be enough and creates a great waste of toothpaste. Likewise, this document does not specify that the reservoir for the cream be rechargeable, which is undesirable because it requires the user to acquire the toothpaste separately and transport it in the same way. Finally, within the prior art is document US 7011467 which teaches an oral hygiene kit comprising a toothbrush dispenser assembly and a dental floss assembly, where the toothbrush assembly comprises a dispensing brush cream, a cream pump assembly, a piston, and a cream reservoir, where the pump assembly is operable to push the piston into the cream reservoir to force the cream from the reservoir. Thus, the dental floss assembly is associated with the toothbrush assembly and comprises a lid that supports the reel, a silk reel, and a dental floss cover.
Sin embargo, al igual que con los documentos mencionados previamente, esta anterioridad no menciona ni especifica que el reservorio de la crema dental sea recargable, lo cual es indeseable para el usuario y requiere del transporte de crema dental adicional. Así mismo, el elemento de seda dental se ubica en la parte del cuerpo del cepillo, hecho que es indeseable ya que ocupa mayor espacio y se obtiene un dispositivo final con mayor tamaño que no es fácil de transportar. However, as with the documents mentioned above, this foregoing does not mention or specify that the toothpaste reservoir is rechargeable, which is undesirable for the user and requires the transport of additional toothpaste. Likewise, the dental floss element is located in the body part of the brush, which is undesirable since it occupies more space and a larger end device is obtained that is not easy to transport.
A partir de la información anterior, se puede ver claramente que en el estado del arte existe una necesidad por diseñar e implementar un dispositivo para el cuidado oral, el cual incluya todos los elementos de limpieza oral, tal como cepillo, crema y seda dental, en un único dispositivo, donde estos elementos
adicionales se puedan ubicar en un compartimiento que se pueda recargar de forma fácil y adecuada, con el fin de permitir que el transporte de todo el kit o conjunto sea fácil para el usuario y no se requiera el almacenamiento o el transporte de algún tipo de elemento adicional. Adicionalmente, se requiere que tanto el compartimiento de la crema dental como el de la seda dental, tenga un tamaño adecuado para poder hacer uso del cepillo una pluralidad de veces, lo que permita tener autonomía en un viaje de varios días sin necesidad de recarga. Así las cosas, un experto en la materia puede ver de forma clara y evidente que en la actualidad existe un problema relacionado con el transporte de un cepillo de dientes y el uso de una crema de dientes externa, junto con la seda dental externa, lo que requiere que el usuario siempre cargue o transporte tres elementos separados y la asepsia e higiene se vean comprometidas, ya que estos elementos siempre son guardados en un bolsillo o en una maleta externa pero están expuestos a bacterias del medio ambiente. Del mismo modo, las cremas de dientes comerciales que son adecuadas para ser transportadas de forma cómoda son muy pequeñas y la cantidad de crema dental no es la adecuada, lo que requiere el transporte de varias cremas o la compra de cremas dentales separadas, hecho que es indeseado por los usuarios.
From the above information, it can be clearly seen that in the state of the art there is a need to design and implement a device for oral care, which includes all the elements of oral cleaning, such as toothbrush, cream and dental floss, in a single device, where these elements Additional items can be placed in a compartment that can be easily and properly recharged, in order to allow the transport of the entire kit or assembly to be easy for the user and the storage or transport of some type of element is not required additional. Additionally, it is required that both the toothpaste and dental floss compartment have an adequate size to be able to make use of the brush a plurality of times, allowing for autonomy on a multi-day trip without recharging. Thus, an expert in the field can clearly and clearly see that there is currently a problem related to the transport of a toothbrush and the use of an external toothpaste, together with external dental floss, which requires that the user always load or transport three separate elements and the aseptic and hygiene are compromised, since these elements are always stored in a pocket or in an external suitcase but are exposed to environmental bacteria. Similarly, commercial tooth creams that are suitable for convenient transport are very small and the amount of toothpaste is not adequate, which requires the transport of several creams or the purchase of separate toothpastes, a fact that It is unwanted by users.
De acuerdo con lo anterior, la presente invención resuelve el problema de una forma más eficiente, ya que corresponde a un cepillo de dientes que cuenta con dos partes, una cabeza y un mango, donde el mango cuenta con dos compartimientos, uno de los cuales es para la crema de dientes y el otro para la seda dental, donde estos compartimientos son recargables y el usuario puede rellenarlos con la crema o la seda deseada las veces que sea necesario, sin necesidad de comprar varias cremas de tamaño reducido.
In accordance with the foregoing, the present invention solves the problem in a more efficient way, since it corresponds to a toothbrush that has two parts, a head and a handle, where the handle has two compartments, one of which It is for toothpaste and the other for dental floss, where these compartments are rechargeable and the user can fill them with the desired cream or floss as many times as necessary, without buying several creams of reduced size.
