Description

口腔护理器具
发明领域
本发明涉及一种口腔护理器具，其具有多种特征，可包括用于清洁使用者口中的软组织表面的清洁器、牙齿清洁或牙齿处理元件、可移动的清洁特征、振动机构、和/或手柄握持特征。
发明背景
现有的多种牙刷构造具有固定的和/或机械驱动的可移动清洁元件。这些传统的牙刷专注于牙齿清洁/抛光操作，并一般包括进行清洁/抛光操作的头部部分，以及手柄部分。头部一般具有平坦或轻微变化的表面，清洁元件附接于其上，或用于清洁元件的机械驱动可移动载体附接于其上。这些牙刷的清洁元件构造用于清洁和/或用于抛光使用者的牙齿，但没有构造为用于使用者口中软组织，例如使用者舌头的有效清洁。
现有的用于移除微碎屑的舌头刮擦器置于使用者的舌头上。传统的舌头刮擦器是独立的装置，只为刮擦使用者舌头这一个目的。这些传统的装置一般包括手柄和刮擦器部分，不包括其它清洁元件。
使用者通过握住手柄部分操作传统的牙刷和舌头刮擦器。手柄一般是相对硬材料的单个直棒，使用者既不舒适，也不容易操作。当这些装置一般地在湿润情况下使用时，它们的手柄在使用期间通常是滑的。
许多人日常使用多个口腔护理器具，例如牙刷和舌头刮擦器，来完成多个口腔护理任务。例如，使用者可使用牙刷来清洁牙齿，然后使用舌头刮擦器来从他的舌头中移除碎屑。然后使用者可重新使用牙刷来进一步清洁他的舌头。因此，使用者在湿润环境的单次操作期间可在多种口腔护理器具之间转换。
发明概述
本发明涉及口腔护理器具，其提供数个优点并可用于多个功能。在本发明的一个实施例中，提供了一种口腔护理器具，其具有软组织清洁器，所述软组织清洁器带有突出部的环，用于从使用者口腔的软组织上去除细菌和其它碎屑。所述突出部的环可包括凸块和脊体，用于与软组织相接合。该环可与口腔护理器具的一个面上的中心部分接界，所述中心部分具有与突出部的高度相比较的深度。
本发明实施例可为多功能的且包括有益组合的特征的多种组合。某些实施例包括软组织清洁器，其结合有牙齿清洁特征和/或在手柄上的握持特征，在手柄上的握持特征改进了使用者的握持及其操作。实施例可为手动驱动装置或机械驱动装置或它们的组合。这些和其它方面将结合附图进行讨论。

发明详述
以下实施例以多种口腔护理器具构造的形式介绍本发明的方面，口腔护理器具构造提供多种特征和功能。尽管这些方面已公开在具体示例性实施例的上下文中，但是本发明提供包括本文介绍的特征中的一个或多个的口腔护理器具。口腔护理器具可包括本文一个示例构造中所介绍的第一特征，还包括本文另一个示例构造中所介绍的第二特征。
换句话说，本发明构思出从所公开的多种组合形式的实施例到单个口腔护理器具的混合和匹配特征。因此本发明可能选择清洁/处理元件构造、组织清洁器构造、手柄特征、握持特征、机械驱动特征、材料和方向等等的组合，来达到预期的结果，并带来另外的口腔健康益处，例如改善清洁、牙齿抛光、牙齿变白、舌头清洁、齿龈按摩等等。
所提供的多种构造的口腔护理器具大体上包括手柄以及一个或多个清洁特征。手柄可包括机械驱动特征，例如旋转、振动和/或移动清洁元件。在一种构造中，牙刷设有机械振动元件、具有多个不同类型清洁/处理元件的头部、以及提供改善的清洁和/或处理效果的清洁区域。清洁/处理元件由机械振动装置移动，和/或独立于机械振动装置。因此，此牙刷在牙齿和齿龈上提供增效的和增强的清洁、擦洗和按摩体验。
在一种电动构造中，牙刷具有电源。电源可为至少一个电池，例如，1个、2个或更多个电池。电池可移除或固定、可再充电、不可再充电或从外部电源可再充电。进一步地，电池可为任意尺寸，例如AA、AAA、9V和C。或者，电源可来自外部电源，例如经由交流适配器。
参见附图，示于图1中的牙刷和根据图2和3的牙刷各具有手柄1、前刚毛承载头部3和颈部4，颈部4连接头部3到手柄1。组合形成刚毛束6的刚毛锚定在刚毛承载体5上，并与它们的自由端形成异形的(profiled)刷洗表面。在所示的实施例中，带刚毛束6的刚毛承载体5以本身已知的方式定位，因此不再详细介绍，其定位在头部3的保持部分2，使其可进行更换。同样如上所述，本说明书所公开的牙齿清洁元件的任何设置都可代替所示的刚毛式样而使用。
颈部4设有颈部区7，其优选由弹性的相对柔顺的材料成分制成，并提供或另外增加颈部4的弹性，因此在使用牙刷时，刚毛承载头部3可在沿刷洗表面施加力的情况下向后回弹。可选地，颈部区7设计为凹口，其在部分颈圆周上延伸，并填充弹性柔顺材料(例如，热塑性弹性体)。应理解，颈部区的形式和数量可以是不同的。还可构思出具有不使用弹性材料成分的柔性颈区，例如通过提供收缩，或为类似于波纹管(bellow)的形式。
机械振动装置50结合到前头部3或与头部3相邻的颈部4区域，通过机械振动装置50来影响或提高牙齿清洁作用施加到刚毛承载头部3上的振动。振动装置50可经由在颈部4中穿行的电连接而连接到手柄1中的电源，如本文中后面所介绍的那样。在一个实施例中，颈部区7由弹性柔顺材料制成，该材料衰减振动头部3和手柄1之间的振动，因此振动作用具体产生在头部，并稍微传递到手柄1。这意味着在牙齿清洁操作期间轻微的振动可在手柄1上感知，因此牙刷对手柄很舒适。在另一实施例中，所产生的振动不由手柄1衰减，并在头部3产生全部的影响。但作为颈部区7具有弹性柔顺材料的代替，也可以使用其它减振元件。而且，衰减也可通过以下方式实现，例如通过使用基础材料，通过将颈部构造成特定的形式，例如使用波纹管/手风琴(accordion)部分等等。或者，颈可以减小的厚度而形成，和/或由美国专利申请No.11/053589所公开的双重材料形成。
手柄1中容纳有鞘或套60，其以所述手柄的纵向方向延伸，并由导电材料制成。手柄1和套60都向后敞开，这形成腔21，腔21可由罩壳部分52从后面关闭，在其中可插入电池55，在所示的优选实施例中，可在市场上获得的、不可再充电的圆柱形电池，以限定的能量(例如1.5V)作为用于振动装置50的电源。但也可能以钮扣电池或可再充电蓄电池来作为电源。
用于电池55正极30(见图2)的弹簧触点59装配在套60内，在横向壁58上，并经由电线61、开关32以及在颈部4内穿行的电线33而连接到振动装置50，其中，开关32安装在套60内并可在手柄1外部触动。电连接可通过开关32而断开。
罩壳部分52设有由导电材料制成的螺纹短轴52a，并可通过所述螺纹短轴螺旋进入手柄1和/或进入套60。螺纹短轴52a设有接触表面22b，其螺旋拧入罩壳部分52，邻接贴靠在插入套60内的电池55的负极35上。负极35经由螺纹短轴52a、套60自身和线34电连接到振动装置50，线34将套60连接到振动装置50，并在颈部4中延伸穿过。
除经由导电套60传递外，也可能以一些其它方式传递电能，例如使用电线或导电塑料。
在图1所示的实施例中，振动装置50包括振动元件11′，其优选地以振动电枢的方式运行，其可经由线33、34直接电连接到电源，并以连接的电源使其振动。
在图2和图3所示的牙刷的变型的情形下，振动装置50包括偏心轮形式的振动元件11，其产生机械振动，并可绕位于牙刷纵向方向的轴线旋转，且还包括驱动器，其直接邻近设置并设计为微型电机15。振动元件11连接到微型电机15的轴15a，其可经由线33、34电连接到电源。微型电机15和偏心轮可提供作为壳体62内的结构单元。
除了旋转式驱动的偏心轮外，也可能具有以平移方式驱动的振动元件11。在根据本发明牙刷的情况下，可能设置刚毛承载头部3，使得其可以相对于颈部4进行移动，用于在通过振动装置50产生振动的情况下，以平移方式驱动的振动元件11相对于牙刷的其它部分移动。
电线61、33、34也可通过导电塑料轨道而实现。连接或断开电线61、33的开关32也可为例如磁性开关。但开关32的优选构造是具有设置在印刷电路板上的脉冲开关，并具有进一步存储开关状态的电元件。
但也可能的是，在电池55和振动元件11′(图1)或驱动器15(图2和图3)之间的电连接不由开关32产生或断开，而由罩壳部分52旋转实现(即在此构造情况下省去开关32)，其可螺旋拧入手柄和/或拧入套60或以卡口接合的方式连接。
除了后罩壳部分52螺旋拧入手柄1外，当然也可有其它形式的可松开连接(例如，插入连接、卡口连接等等)以及与负极35相互作用的接触部分相应的构造。
罩壳部分52也可为完全不同于附图所示出的形式。例如，罩壳部分可设有放置表面或脚部分，并因此用作牙刷可以靠其放置的元件。
图4中所示出的牙刷基本与图2和图3中的一致。根据图4，振动装置50直接设置在前头部3中。在此示例性实施例中，套60省去；电池55经由线33、34直接连接到振动装置50。使用的此牙刷还可优选地由可交换的刚毛承载体5制成，刚毛承载体5可固定在头部3的保持部分2上，例如，以咬接(snap-in)的连接方式。改变设有刚毛束6的刚毛承载体5的容量特别有利，这是由于设有振动装置50的牙刷可不考虑刚毛的使用寿命而使用，刚毛的使用寿命通常比电池55的使用寿命更短。
如图5所示，代替刚毛承载体5或5a，可能形成部分传统的刷头并设有各自的刚毛束6或6a，以便在保持部分2上定位其它可选的不同刚毛承载体或适配器5b至5d，在其上设有不同的齿间刷6b、6c或齿间处理部分6d，用于牙齿之间间隙的有效清洁。齿间刷6b可设计为，例如由扭入塑料细丝的被复线制成的螺旋状刷。齿间刷6c包括刚毛，其一起形成束顶。处理部分6d可设计为例如塑料元件，其具有顶端并可优选地设有磨料涂层，用于从牙齿之间的间隙移除齿菌斑和牙垢。当然，也可能使用任何其它的所希望的处理头部。还可能根据图4和图5的变形，刚毛承载体5可构造为使得可能产生相对于保持部分2引起振动的运动。
由于振动装置50、连接线33、34以及电元件的引入，对根据本发明的牙刷，或其中的壳体，可能以两部分生产，并在上述部件定位于其中后，对两部分以防水方式焊接。但也可能，对于根据本发明的牙刷以优选地包括两个或多个组分的注塑成型方式生产。上述部件方便地定位为由第一材料组分注塑成型，然后通过注塑成型封装在第二材料组分内(或封装在更多的材料成分内)的单元。此处不必完全封装，某些部分可以暴露，因此可能实现某些美学效果。
但也可能，上述电元件插入准备模制的手柄1。在优选的实施例中，由于不仅是振动元件11、11′自身而且驱动器，即微型电机15，也设置在前头部3，或在颈部4的直接相邻的前区域，因此机械驱动器元件不必引导穿过柔性颈部4以便于将微型电机连接到振动元件11。在此实施例中，电线33、34(例如，线、电缆或导电塑料轨道)穿行于颈部4中。
根据本发明的一个实施例，机械振动装置50直径小于约15mm，优选地小于约6mm，且长度小于约35mm，优选地小于约20mm。这确保牙刷可为人机工程构造并容易操作。根据本发明的牙刷在尺寸上或多或少地符合传统的手动牙刷，这使它们与市场上可获得的相当大的电动牙刷相比，能更直接地去操作。当机械振动装置接合而使用时，许多头部构造可产生改善的清洁效果。
图6显示了根据牙刷所讨论的本发明另外的实施例。然而，本发明也可用于其它的口腔护理器具，可简单地包括组织清洁器具。它们也可作为电动刷。
如图6所示，牙刷5000包括多个凸块或其它突出部5002，其从头部5006的后侧5004突出作为口中的软组织清洁器5008。牙齿清洁元件5016优选地从头部5006的前侧5005延伸。突出部5002优选地沿至少一个窄基体或垫逐一设置，窄基体或垫以固定于头部5006的带5010的形式存在。在示出的示例中，多个大体上平行带5010a、5010b、5010c、5010d固定在远离手柄朝向的大体上的凹面形状上。在此一构造中，带沿着头部5006的后侧5004和各侧壁5011延伸，而沿着侧壁的延伸不是必须的。可包括任何数量的带。所述的带基本上可限定为在头部上的任意形状或方向。例如，带5010可具有所公开的用于在审美国专利申请10/989267中的脊体的任意形状。在示出的构造中，带5010由轴向杆5012而相互连接，轴向杆5012延伸进入手柄中并形成使用者握持部的一部分。进一步地，此手柄延伸部或甚至杆当然不是必须的。
在一种构造中，各突出部5002为大体上柱形并形成宽度W约为1.1mm和高度H约为1.7mm(图7)。突出部沿带5010相互间隔开约1.0mm的距离。但这些高度、宽度和间隔尺寸可能大范围地变化。在示出的实施例中，突出部5002各包括从基体5010向外突出的外周壁5013，以及倾斜的末端表面5014，对头部5006的侧表面5004呈约50度的角度。倾斜的末端表面5014沿外周壁5013的一部分限定窄的顶部边缘5016，其利于清洁舌头和其它软组织。尽管末端表面5014显示为以相同的方向倾斜，它们也可能以不同的方向倾斜。
在一种可选构造中(图11)，头部5006另外地形成至少一个细长的脊体5025。以此设置，为使用者提供了清洁器，通过越过舌头或其它组织移动离散的突出部5002和脊体5025，可获得有用的双重清洁效果。在示出的示例中，脊体5025是弯曲、细长的突出部，其大体上沿头部远端5027的外边缘向外突出。但也可采用其它的设置、位置和形状。也可能提供另外的脊体。在一个优选的构造中，脊体5025与头部模制为单一件，并由相对硬的塑料形成，例如聚丙烯。但脊体可与头部分开形成，和/或由适用于口腔护理器具的其它材料组成。
在一种构造中，脊体5025如上所述由相对硬的材料(例如聚丙烯)形成，而突出部5002由相对软的材料(例如热塑性弹性体)形成。双重材料的这种使用使得能够获取两种材料的优点。清洁器包括脊体5025里相对硬的刮擦器刮片与相对软的离散突出部的紧密结合，相对软的离散突出部在它们挖进舌头或其它组织时弯曲或转向。
如在图11和12中所示，脊体5025由一对相对的侧壁5033、5034限定，其相交形成刮擦器边缘5035。虽然边缘5035在此构造中相对较窄，但也可能大致加宽。在一个实施例中，侧壁5033、5034相对于头部5006的侧5004形成不同的斜度，但它们也可能具有相同的斜度。在一个优选的构造中，侧壁5033形成比侧壁5034更陡峭的斜面，以便当头部由使用者拉过舌头时，形成更强烈的刮擦动作。侧壁5034的较浅的斜面大体朝向远离手柄的方向，使得当脊体向后朝喉咙推时，脊体较少地倾向于将舌头生物膜进一步向后推入喉咙。在优选的实施例中，侧壁5033以相对于侧5004为62度的角度定向，而侧壁5034以角度β为43度定向。其它角度也可用于这两个侧壁。
在另一可选的构造中(图8)，各突出部5002a设有具有两个倾斜的端面部分5015a、5017a和顶部边缘5016a的末端表面5014a。由于脊体5025、端面部分5015a大体上朝向手柄，其优选地以相对于侧5004a比端面部分5017a更陡的角度倾斜，尽管可使用包括具有相同倾斜的端面部分的其它设置。如一个示例中，端面部分5015a以相对于侧5004a角度α为62度而导向，且端面部分5017a以角度β为43度而导向。端面部分5015a的更陡的角度在头部拖离口腔时提供更强烈的刮擦动作。端面5017a较浅的角度使突出部较少地倾向于将舌头生物膜向后进一步推入喉咙。
当然，也可使用其它的突出部。例如，各突出部可包括不倾斜的末端或逐渐变尖到尖顶的端部。突出部可具有除如图6所示的圆柱形状外大范围变化的形状。例如，突出部可具有圆锥形、不规则截面、或对后侧5004倾斜。此外，突出部也可成形为沿带5010的长度完全或部分延伸出的脊体。
在一种优选的构造中，突出部5002和带5010成形为单件模制构件或另外紧固到头部5006上。突出部和带优选成形为单件的弹性热塑性弹性体构件，例如由GLS公司制造的苯乙烯-乙烯/丁烯-苯乙烯嵌段共聚物(SEBS)，但可能由其它弹性材料、硬材料、或例如公开在美国专利申请序列号No.11/011605中的材料组合组成，该专利申请通过引用结合于本文中。突出部和带也可由与头部5006相同的物质(例如聚丙烯)形成，但具有不同的颜色或类似特征以限定其与头部为不同的材，并因此产生至少在视觉上具有吸引力的刷子。
在一种构造中，带5010模制到置于头部5006的大体上平坦的表面5004上(图7)。但可在侧5004内形成沟槽5007，以便在其中接收带5010，使得侧5004和具有突出部5002的带5010的外表面5012大体上在同一平面(图9)。此外，弹性材料的带可形成为头部构造的整体部分(图10)。更具体地说，在此可选构造中，头部包括多个第一构件5020，其由用作活动铰链(living hinge)的弹性的第二构件5022接合在一起，以允许在牙刷使用过程中第一构件彼此相对移动。第二构件也形成设有突出部5002的软组织清洁器5006的基体5010c。此外，如对牙刷5000所讨论的，突出部5002或5002a可以与以相反方向从头部延伸的弹性体牙齿清洁元件整体形成为单件的构件。
现参见图13，根据本发明的口腔护理器具以包括头部12和手柄14的牙刷10的形式进一步示出。尽管按照牙刷进行讨论，但应理解装置可能为简单地包括组织清洁器具的其它口腔护理器具的形式。
根据本发明的口腔护理器具以包括头部12和手柄14的牙刷10的形式示出。虽然图13仅示出了手柄到头部的连接，但是，手柄优选为被使用者抓握的细长构件。手柄14可具有适于清洁使用者牙齿和/或舌头所需要的操作的任何已知的形状。
带有一对相对侧16、17的头部12以大体上伸长的形状显示，尽管也可以使用其它已知的形状。多个牙齿清洁元件20从头部12的一个侧16延伸。牙齿清洁元件可为刚毛和/或各种形状和尺寸的弹性体构件。可使用适合清洁使用者牙齿的元件20的任何形式或组合。
头部12的另一侧17包括至少一个脊体并优选地包括多个细长的脊体22，以清洁舌头和口腔中其它软组织(例如面颊的内表面)。虽然脊体优选地形成在也设有牙齿清洁元件的头部上，但它们也可形成在其它器具或牙刷的其它部分上。器具的头部简单地指器具的工作部分，其插入口中用于舌头的清洁，并不指头部的具体形状或结构。
在本发明的一个构造中，各脊体22从头部的后表面17a垂直地突出，并具有大体上类似方形的截面构造(图17)。脊体包括远离表面17a的末端29，其形成适于接触和清洁舌头或口中其它软组织的接触区域29a。在此实施例中，接触区域29a包括突出的角或边缘25、27，并限定在它们之间。应理解，接触区域29a具有横向于脊体跨过表面17a的伸长而延伸的宽度W。脊体22的宽度W至少与脊体的高度H一样大(即，脊体从表面17a延伸的距离)。以此宽度对高度的关系，脊体切割或伤害舌头或口中其它部分的软组织的风险降低。从头部12向外延伸的距离大于其宽度的窄脊体，与从头部向外延伸的距离小于脊体宽度的类似窄脊体(即一个具有相同宽度的窄脊体)相比，增加了切割或另外伤害使用者的风险；此脊体不会切割或伤害使用者。舌头和口中其它软组织将绕脊体给出和弯曲一段距离，只要脊体对于与组织接合的脊体的宽度不是太高。在一个示例性实施例中，脊体22具有优选约0.8mm的宽度W以及约0.6mm的高度H。但也可采用大范围的相对尺寸。
此外，脊体22还包括基体28，脊体在基体28处固定于表面17a。在优选的构造中，基体28限定了宽度W1，其至少与脊体的高度H一样大。以此方法，当脊体在舌头上拖动时，它们不会经历不适当的弯曲。而且，脊体22被稳固地支持以便它们能大体上保持在突出的方向。因此，边缘25、27被稳定地支撑，以挖入舌头中的凹处而有效地移除细菌和碎屑。
可选的是，脊体可具有其它的形状。例如，图18示出宽度大于高度的脊体22′，即基体28′和接触区域29a′各具有远远大于脊体高度H2的宽度W2。在一个示例中，宽度约是高度的两倍。脊体22′增加的宽度对高度的比值提供更硬、更小的脊体，以有效清洁舌头。此脊体是有益的，在于它们减小头部尺寸，这被一些使用者所优选。更短、更宽的脊体还进一步减小使用者伤害他们自己的可能。而且，此脊体可由更软的材料制成，而不丧失所希望的稳定性。
在另一示例中(图19A)，脊体22″具有圆化的末端。因此，接触区域29a″具有弓形的、凸面，以与舌头或其它软组织接合。在此示例中，接触区域29a″(即适于与舌头接合的表面)的宽度W3至少与脊体的高度H3一样大。在此实施例中，脊体22″的基体28″的宽度W4还至少与高度H一样大，以提供稳定的脊体。当然，大量的变化可形成在脊体形状中，而保持本发明的优点。
另外，脊体可成形为仅获得本发明的某些优点。例如，脊体22可成形为渐缩至变窄的末端29(图3b)。在此例子中，接触区域29a的宽度W5小于高度H5。但脊体22的基体28的宽度W6至少与高度一样大，以形成稳定的脊体构造。
尽管所示出的脊体全部显示为大体上从表面17a垂直延伸，它们相对于表面17a可以是倾斜的。垂直的延伸优选地提供有效的清洁，而不管舌头清洁器是在舌头上推或者是拉。侧24、26还可是倾斜的、弯曲的、角形的、不规则或另外成形的。另外，脊体可从非平面的表面突出。作为一个示例，表面17a和脊体22可具有波浪形构造。
不管脊体的截面形状如何，各脊体22优选地弯曲，以限定朝向手柄14的凹侧24和朝向反方向的凸侧26。尽管脊体连续地弯曲是优选的(图14)，此凹形脊体可由不连续的脊体(图15)或角形的脊体(图16)所限定。进一步地，在一个优选的构造中，当脊体22更远地远离手柄14成形时，它们逐渐较少地弯曲。在一个示出的构造中(图13和14)，脊体大体上相互同心地大体上绕接近手柄14与头部12的连接的共同点弯曲。
在使用中，使用者握持手柄并典型地在舌头上从后到前重复拉舌头清洁器，以便凹侧24贴着舌头刮擦，来有效地收集并移除舌头上的细菌和碎屑。或者，使用者也可在舌头上一般地向前和向后移动舌头清洁器。在任一情况下，脊体的不同曲率使脊体的排列好的段(即沿大体上平行于纵轴线30的线)能够以不同的角度与舌头表面接合，从而有效地清洁舌头。但舌头清洁脊体可在舌头上以多种方式移动来清洁舌头。
进一步地，可以使用其它脊体构造。例如，口腔护理器具可包括反向的脊体22a，使得凹侧朝向远离手柄方向(例如图20)，脊体22b、22g、22i、22j、22s带有不同的弯曲形状(例如图21、26-28和36)，脊体22c、22d、22k和22r为线性的(例如图22、23、29和35)，脊体22e、22l、22m、22n和22o包括弯曲和线性脊体的混合(例如图24和31-33)，或一个连续的脊体构件22f、22g形成连贯的脊体22f、22g′，(例如图25和26)。脊体在所有相同的弯曲半径处可为不同心的或弯曲的。虽然脊体优选地大致越过头部12的整个侧17延伸，它们也可仅部分地越过头部延伸。例如，脊体22p、22r、22t、22v可仅沿表面17a的边而提供(图34-35和37-38)。沿头部12的边的脊体也可与中心脊体一起使用；即，边脊体22p、22t、22v也与一个或多个中心脊体一起使用，中心脊体例如卵形的或部分卵形的脊体22q、22u、22w(图34、37和38)、在图14-16和20-33中示出的任何脊体图案、或另一脊体图案。任何的脊体也可与多种突出部一起使用，例如，圆锥形突出部31(参见例如图32和34-38)。不管是否脊体22各越过头部形成连续的段(例如图14)或由间距23分开的排列好的脊体段22h所限定(例如图15)，它们在本申请中各被认为是一个脊体。也不管是否连贯的脊体22是分离的(例如图14)或相互连接以限定单一的脊体构件22f(例如图25)，横向地越过手柄延伸的连贯段各被认为是一个脊体。本发明的原理可用在沿表面17a具有基本上任何形状或方向的脊体上。
如图13和17所示，头部12、手柄14和脊体22可模制为相同材料例如聚丙烯的一体式构件。虽然如此，也可能使用其它的设置。例如，头部12可能从手柄14分离。进一步地，脊体22可单独地模制、粘接或以其它方式附接到头部12的侧17。脊体以及头部和手柄可各由不同于其它部分的材料制成。柔软材料，例如TPE或类似物，可固定于头部12，以形成脊体(参见例如图34-38)。脊体可由基本上任何已知的用于制作口腔护理器具的材料制成。
图39-48C显示了本发明另外的实施例，进一步示出本文所公开的多个方面、特征和功能组合为单个口腔护理器具构造。图39-48C公开了提供舌头清洁器功能并包括手柄握持特征的口腔护理器具构造。同样地，图39-48C的口腔护理器具大体上包括与关于软组织清洁器(例如舌头清洁器)的图6-38一起讨论的方面。进一步地，应理解其它特征可与这些构造一起使用。
作为基于本文所公开特征的组合的可能实施例的一个示例，随图1-5所讨论的机械驱动器特征和/或在整篇说明书中所讨论的牙齿清洁特征可与图39-48C的软组织清洁器组合。因此，如图48A-C所示出的那样，本发明的实施例包括头部9014、9214、9414、9614和9514中的任何一个，其随后结合如图1-4所示的手柄1和颈部4而不是如图1-5所示的刚毛承载头部3进行讨论。这些实施例提供电动的口腔护理器具构造，可提供改良的清洁优点。例如，此组合装置可在单个装置中提供两个装置的功能。进一步地，这些装置可同时提供双重清洁功能。例如，牙刷特征可用于清洁使用者的牙齿，而软组织清洁器特征同时清洁软组织，例如使用者面颊的内侧。
图39和40公开了口腔护理器具9010，其包括用于从使用者口中的软组织中，例如使用者的舌头以及它们的面颊和嘴唇内侧，移除细菌和其它碎屑的软组织清洁器。如图所示，器具9010大体上包括附接到头部9014的手柄8103。头部和手柄可模制在一起作为相同材料，例如聚丙烯或另一热塑性弹性体的单件构件。另外，头部可从手柄分离。
一般而言，头部9014包括绕头部的中心部分9016布置的多个组织接合元件9012。元件9012包括以脊体9018和凸块9020形式存在的突出部，其从头部延伸与使用者口中的软组织接合。脊体和凸块可单独地模制、粘接或以其它方式附接到头部9014上。另外，它们可以整体地一起成形。脊体和凸块可以各自由相互不同和/或与其它部分不同的材料制成。柔软材料，例如TPE或类似物，可固定于头部9014上，以形成脊体。然而，更硬的材料或基本上任何已知的用于制作口腔护理器具的材料，可能适用于脊体和凸块。脊体9018和凸块9020可具有多种形状、图案、截面、构造等等，如结合图6-38所讨论的那样。
中心部分9016显示为在头部9014面上的大体上椭圆形状的区域，清洁元件9012绕该区域布置，其具有大体上布置在脊体和凸块的顶端之下的底部表面9017。但应理解，中心部分可具有多种形状、尺寸和深度。在所显示的构造中，中心部分9016为相对较浅的凹陷处，其延伸进入头部大约10％至大约30％的头部厚度。在另一构造中，中心部分可较浅并可以不延伸进入头部。例如，中心部分可由头部的表面9017形成，清洁元件沿限制中心部分的清洁元件9012的环布置于其上。在此种构造中，相对于绕中心部分布置的突出的清洁元件而言，中心部分会为凹陷的区域，但不会另外延伸进入头部。在其它的构造中，中心部分可为凹陷进入头部大约0至10％的头部厚度，或可为凹陷大约30％至50％或更多的头部厚度。
如图所示，表面9017可以是连续的，以便为中心部分9016提供不间断的边界，并且表面9017可相对光滑。在可选的构造中，表面9017可包括间断的或波浪形的特征，例如一个或多个凹口、轮廓特征，或允许从中穿过的材料部分流动的特征，例如网孔或筛网。另外，表面9017可包括不规则特征，例如清洁元件、突出部等等。
中心部分9016和突出的清洁元件9012的环协作，将由使用者施加的向下力转化为在清洁元件处集中的力。因此，与提供相对一致的接触表面或一致的清洁元件区域时相比，清洁元件更深地穿透使用者的软组织。这使脊体9018和凸块9020更有效地穿透软组织。在可选构造中，头部包括在其中的相对侧上的牙刷特征(见图48B-C)，突出的清洁元件构造的环可有效地接合使用者面颊和嘴唇内侧的软组织，而使用者不用在环的方向施加较大的力，当使用者经由牙刷特征清洁它们的牙齿时可能出现这种情况。如进一步显示的，中心部分9016包括底部表面9017，用于在使用过程中接触软组织。底部表面可作为引导，以便当使用者施加过度向下的力时限制凸块和脊体的穿透深度。另外，底部表面可提供收集器，用于在口腔护理器具使用过程中收集刮掉的微碎屑。
可使用多种脊体、凸块、或其它清洁元件构造。在所显示的用于口腔护理器具9010的构造中，脊体9018大体上定向为以放射状方式远离中心部分9012的中心。中心部分9016为椭圆状地定形，并与手柄8103的纵轴线成直线排列。同样地，脊体9018大体上定向为垂直于手柄的纵轴线，其为大多数使用者提供横向于刮擦方向定向的刮片。当使用者以大致平行于手柄8103的纵轴线的方向向前或向后刮擦口腔护理器具9010时，脊体9018用作小刮片，以刮擦软组织的微碎屑。还如图39和40所示，脊体可以朝使用中与软组织的接合处向上成角度。因此，当使用者施加轻微的向下压力时，脊体9018的内部分9022与软组织接合，当施加另外的压力时，脊体更充分地与软组织接合。同样地，经由使用者向下力的选择提供使用者所希望的可变的清洁和刮擦功能。
进一步如图39和40所示，凸块9020沿布置在手柄8103和头部9014末端之间的一部分中心部分9016而提供。凸块提供在使用过程中进入使用者软组织的集中的穿透。另外，如图40所示在沿中心部分9016的它们的位置，它们可驱使除去的微碎屑进入中心部分9016，以在其中获取并由使用者移除。应理解，多种凸块构造、位置和方向，以及脊体和中心部分构造、位置和方向，可提供多种优点和功能。
图41和42示出在示例性口腔护理器具9210中清洁元件的另一可能的构造。口腔护理器具9210大体上包括口腔护理器具9010的相同的方面和特征，除了其另外包括绕中心部分9216的周界直立的窄突出部9224外。窄突出部可为半柔性的刮片状的结构，帮助刮擦使用者的舌头或其它软组织。在可选构造中，其可以为硬结构或相对柔性的结构。窄突出部9224可由柔性或半柔性热塑性弹性体、硬塑料结构或其它的硬材料例如金属制成。如图42和43所示，刮片状的突出部9224可为在中心部分布置的连续的结构。在其它构造中，其可为部分结构，例如弧。也可以远离中心部分或没有中心部分而存在，而且可以包括截短的一种或多种形状。刮片状的突出部提供有效的刮片，用于从使用者的软组织刮擦微碎屑。在连续的构造中，可进一步促进微碎屑从使用者的软组织刮擦下来而保留在中心部分9216内。
图43和44示出示例口腔护理器具9410中清洁元件的另一可能的构造。口腔护理器具9410大体上包括口腔护理器具9210的相同的方面和特征，除了清洁元件9412仅包括布置在中心部分9416附近的凸块9420之外。凸块提供进入使用者软组织的集中的穿透，管可用作去除微碎屑，并因此帮助刮片状的突出部9416来从使用者的软组织中刮擦微碎屑。
图45和46示出示例口腔护理器具9610中清洁元件的另一可能的构造。口腔护理器具9610大体上包括口腔护理器具9010的相同的方面和特征，除了关于清洁元件9612和刮片状的结构9624之外。如图所示，清洁元件9612包括大致放射状从中心部分9616的中心延伸的刮片9618，以及大致垂直于刮片9618导向的刮片9630的组合。交互方向的刮片的混合可提高口腔护理器具的刮擦效率。另外，刮片状的结构9624包括在其刮片附近间隔开的凹口9632，其可进一步提高口腔护理器具的刮擦效率。
图47示出口腔护理器具进一步可能的构造。口腔护理器具9510大体上包括口腔护理器具9210的相同的方面和特征，除了关于清洁元件9512和刮片状的结构9524之外。如图所示，清洁元件9512包括介于较长的刮片9518对之间的短刮片9534，其可以进一步提高刮片的刮擦效率。另外，刮片状的结构9524是截短的，使得其仅绕中心部分9516的末端部分延伸，当从使用者口中取出，口腔护理器具9510越过软组织进行刮擦时，结构9524可以促进除去的微碎屑保留在中心部分9516内。口腔护理器具9510进一步包括牙齿清洁元件9536，其从清洁元件9512的头部相对侧延伸。因此，使用者可使用单个的口腔护理器具9510来有效清洁他们的牙齿并刮擦他们的舌头，对此，器具的操作经由手柄8103的握持特征而改善。另外，使用者可同时经由清洁元件9536清洁他们的牙齿并经由9512接合他们面颊和嘴唇的内侧。
图48A-C显示了口腔清洁器具9810，其包括双重功能的头部4900或9514，和电动手柄1。手柄一般与结合图1-5所述的电动手柄1相同，其可用于移动或振动头部的牙齿清洁特征，和/或头部的软组织清洁器特征。尽管头部显示为头部4900或头部9514中的任一个，但是，头部可包括头部9014，9214，9414，9614和9514或其它双重功能头部的其中任何一个。如上所述，这些实施例通过同时接合最近的口腔表面例如清洁使用者的牙齿，和清洁或刺激他们的面颊和嘴唇的内侧，可提供改进的清洁的益处。此外，此组合装置可在单个装置中提供两个装置的功能。另外，这种组合装置可在单个装置中提供两个装置的功能。
由于上述方法、成分和结构可作出各种变化而不脱离本发明的范围，因此包含在本申请中的所有内容包括所有上述介绍的机构和/或相互作用模式，应解释为仅仅是说明性的，而不以任何方式限制所附权利要求的范围。此外，如上所述，根据本发明的口腔护理器具和相关的方法可采用在本申请内所论述的方面、特征和构造的各种不同的组合。
