Figures 7 to 10 are illustrations for illustrating the engagement of the multi-angle fingertip toothbrush according to Figure 1 with the holder portion.

Referring to FIGS. 7 and 8, the multi-angle finger toothbrush 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention may further include a holder unit 150. Here, since the basic configuration of the multi-angle fingertip toothbrush 100 is the same as that shown in Fig. 1, a duplicate description will be omitted. At one end of the support 110, a ball bearing 115 is formed. The ball bearing is designed to allow a free angle adjustment in a spherical shape. The ball bearing 115 can be rotated in association with the holder portion 150. [ The holder part 150 is connected to the support part 110 to control the rotation angle of the support part 110.

Specifically, the holder portion 150 includes a body 151, a pressing piece 152, and a spring 153. The body 151 of the holder part 150 is formed in a longitudinal direction with a U-shaped cross section. The body 151 is made up of a pair of two. In this case, the pair of bodies 151 are connected by the connecting pin 151-1. The pressing piece 152 may be curved to accommodate the ball bearing 115 formed at one end of the body 151. Friction grooves are formed on the inner side of the pressing piece 152 to increase frictional force with the ball bearings 115. The pressing piece 152 is formed on each of the pair of bodies 151, and a pair of pressing pieces 152 are formed facing each other. The friction force of the ball bearing 115 is lowered to allow movement of the pair of pressing pieces 152, and the angle of the support part 110 can be variously adjusted. When the pair of pressing pieces 152 are narrowed to each other, the frictional force of the ball bearing 115 is increased and the movement is restricted. This is for fixing the support 110 at a certain angle. The spring 153 is formed inside the pair of bodies 151 together with the connecting pin 151-1. The spring 153 exerts an elastic force in a direction in which the pair of pressing pieces 152 are narrowed to each other. When the user applies an external force to the pair of bodies 151, the pressing piece 152 is opened, and when the external force is released, the pressing piece 152 is narrowed by the elastic force of the spring 153. Accordingly, the user can rotate the support unit 110 at an angle desired by the user.

Referring to Fig. 9, a modified embodiment of the holder portion 150 of Figs. 7 and 8 is shown. The holder portion 150 includes a body 151, a pressing piece 152, a spring 153, and a pressure cover 154. The body 151 is formed by cutting a side surface in a cylindrical shape. The pressing piece 152 extends to the body 151 and is formed into a curved shape to receive the ball bearing 115. [ In this case, the pressing piece 152 is formed corresponding to the end portion of the cut body 151. 8 shows that two pressing pieces 152 are formed by using two cut surfaces. The spring 153 is formed on the outside of the body 151. The pressure cover 154 is formed in a cylindrical shape along the outer circumferential surface of the body 151. The pressurizing cover 154 is formed with a latching portion (not shown) on its inner side and contacts one side of the spring 153. It is preferable that the inner peripheral surface of the pressure cover 154 is formed to have a size capable of pressing the pressing piece 152. For example, when the pressure cover 154 is moved along the longitudinal direction of the body 151 in the direction in which the incision piece is exposed, the inner spring 153 is compressed and the pressure piece 152 is released from the external force, ) Can be rotated. When the external force is released to the pressing cover 154, the spring 153 applies an elastic force to the discrete side along the longitudinal direction of the body 151, thereby narrowing the space between the pressing pieces 152. Accordingly, the frictional force of the pressing piece 152 is applied to the ball bearing 115, so that the movement can be restricted at a certain angle.

Referring to FIG. 10, it is shown that the holder portion 150 is used in combination with the polygonal finger toothbrush 100. In this case, the user can hold the holder part 150 with the palm of his hand, and insert one of the fingers into the polygonal finger toothbrush 100. The user can clean the teeth using various angles and various fingers according to his convenience. In this case, the holder 150 can be extended by the holder 150 and can be easily grasped by the user, and can be rotated and used at various angles.

While the present invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to exemplary embodiments thereof, Therefore, the present invention should be construed as a description of the claims which are intended to cover obvious variations that can be derived from the described embodiments.
