As curved surface 123 and curved surface 133 are advanced respectively along the length direction of handle portion 130, cutting in lateral plan Line changes with the angle of the crossing continuity for planting hair side 111, but on the cross part of curved surface 123 and curved surface 133, between tangent line The angle of the crossing be non-zero or 180 degree angle, θ 1 intersect.Therefore, in the cross part of curved surface 123 and curved surface 133, it is formed with crest line 131。
About curved surface 124 and curved surface 134, also respectively with advancing on the length direction of handle portion 130, lateral plan In tangent line change with the angle of the crossing continuity for planting hair side 111, but in the cross part of curved surface 124 and curved surface 134, each other with tangent line Between the angle of the crossing be non-zero or 180 degree angle, θ 2 intersect.Therefore, in the cross part of curved surface 124 and curved surface 134, it is formed with rib Line 132.Therefore, neck 120 and handle portion 130, by clip crest line 131,132 length direction side in lateral plan It is middle to plant the other side of 111 side of hair side in the curved surface 133,134 of the arc profile of protrusion and the length direction for clipping crest line 131,132 111 side of hair side is planted in lateral plan in the curved surface 123,124 of the arc profile of recess to be connected, and is thus formed in lateral plan Approximate S shape.
The boundary of the rear end side of neck 120 is defined by crest line 131,132.Therefore, than 131,132 more rear end of crest line Side is equipped with the range 130A of handle portion 130, in the range 110A configured with head 110 and the model configured with handle portion 130 It encloses and is configured with neck 120 in the range 120A between 130A.
The end (side of more rear end than crest line 131) of 111 side of plant hair side in the front end side of handle portion 130 connects for finger Contact portion.User's thumb contact finger contact portion holds handle portion 130, as a result, stably operable toothbrush 11.In addition, handle Side of the position of crest line 132 on the length direction in portion 130 in the more rear end than crest line 131.Therefore, with the position of crest line 132 It is compared in the case where side of more front end than crest line 131, finger contact portion thickens, and the operation of toothbrush 11 can be made more stable.
The length of handlebody 12, is not particularly limited, and may be, for example, 100~200mm.
The width on head 110, that is, and the width in direction that with the length direction of handle portion 130 intersects vertically parallel with hair side 111 is planted Degree (hereinafter simply referred to as width) is not particularly limited, for example, it is preferable to 5~16mm, more preferable 8~12mm.If above-mentioned lower limiting value When above, the area of implantation pieces 114 is can be sufficiently ensured, if when below above-mentioned upper limit value, can further improve in oral cavity and grasp The property made.
The length on head 110 is not particularly limited, for example, it is preferable to 10~33mm, more preferable 12~28mm.If above-mentioned lower limiting value When above, the area of implantation pieces 114 is can be sufficiently ensured, if when below above-mentioned upper limit value, can further improve in oral cavity and grasp The property made.
Material Deng Lai Decision, which can be considered, in the thickness on head 110 determines, for example, it is preferable to 2.0~4.0mm.If more than above-mentioned lower limiting value When, the intensity on head 110 is can further improve, if when below above-mentioned upper limit value, the attainability for reaching molar can be improved, simultaneously It can further improve operational in oral cavity.
In order to allow neck 120 to contact lip, the length preferably such as 25 of neck 120 when by 110 insert port intracavitary of head ~70mm.
The width of neck 120 is formed as:It is constant or become larger towards rear end side direction from the position of minimum value.Neck 120 Width from the position of minimum value towards rear end side direction it is constant in the case of, the position of minimum value is defined as front end side Position.Neck 120 in present embodiment is formed as:Its width with from the position of minimum value 121 towards rear end side To and become larger.Material Deng Lai Decision, which can be considered, in the width of neck 120 determines, for example, the minimum widith of neck 120 is preferred 3.5mm or more, 4.5mm are hereinafter, more preferable 3.7mm or more, 4.3mm or less.If when more than above-mentioned lower limiting value, can further carry The intensity of high neck 120, if when below above-mentioned upper limit value, lip is easy to be closed, in addition, the arrival for reaching molar can be improved Property, while can further improve operational in oral cavity.
In addition, setting from the width in neck 120 as the position 121 of minimum value, with plant hair side 111 parallelly towards rear end Width at position 122 of the lateral deviation from 10mm is W1The thickness on direction that plant hair side 111 at mm, with position 122 intersects vertically Degree is D1When mm, by D1/W1The value acquired preferably 0.7 or more, 2.5 are hereinafter, further preferred 0.8 or more, 2.0 hereinafter, especially excellent Select 0.8 or more, 1.5 or less.
In the case of the minimum widith of neck 120 is 3.5mm or more, 4.5mm or less, by D1/W1The value found out is less than upper There is the possibility that neck 120 is easy flexure, operability reduces in the case of stating lower limiting value, when brushing teeth, meanwhile, have in neck 120 Broaden, on the basis of operability is impaired, the thickness of appearance head portion 110 also not significantly, the possibility that the impression of commodity is also damaged.
On the other hand, by D1/W1In the case that the value found out is more than above-mentioned upper limit value, there is thickness D1Become larger, brush mouth when sweeping occlusal surface Lip is difficult to the possibility being closed.In addition, there is the possibility for the impaired performance that operability improves as obtained from keeping head 110 thinning Property.Therefore, by D1/W1When the value found out is if 0.7 or more, 2.5 or less, it is easy to maintain to obtain by keeping head 110 thinning on one side The operability arrived improves, and closure lip brush and swept on one side.
Furthermore it is known that generally identical in material, the deflection of rigid body by " section second moment " larger shadow It rings.Since 3 powers of 1 power of deflection and width W, thickness D are proportional, so in order to reduce deflection, preferably one Side keeps thickness D, and it is bottom line to make width on one side.
For example, setting bending coefficient M (mm4)=W × D3When, by the width W in the position of neck 120 1210, thickness D0It calculates Bending coefficient M0It is preferred that 165mm4Above, 625mm4Hereinafter, further preferred 180mm4Above, 525mm4Hereinafter, particularly preferably 200mm4Above, 330mm4Below.In addition, the wide W of the position 122 by neck 1201, thickness D1Calculated bending coefficient M1 For 165mm4Above, 625mm4Hereinafter, more preferable 180mm4Above, 525mm4Hereinafter, further preferred 200mm4Above, 330mm4 Hereinafter, further preferred 270mm4Above, 310mm4Below.By from position 121, and hair side 111 is planted parallelly towards rear end At position of the lateral deviation from 20mm, the width W in neck 1202, thickness D2Calculated bending coefficient M2It is preferred that 350mm4Above, 550mm4Below.By parallelly deviateing towards rear end side at the position of 30mm with plant hair side 111 from position 121, neck 120 In wide W3, thickness D3Calculated bending coefficient M3It is preferred that 600mm4Above, 1500mm4Below.
If the bending coefficient M at position 122 is in 165mm4Above, 625mm4When following, it can help to brush when lip is closed and sweep Property improve, while operability deterioration can be prevented caused by excessive deflection.
As the change rate of bending coefficient M, between position 121 and position 122, preferably 1.0 or more, 1.3 or less.This Outside, as position 122 and from position 121 towards rear end side deviate 20mm position between bending coefficient M change rate, It is preferred that 1.3 or more, 1.8 or less.As from position 121 towards rear end side deviate 20mm position with from position 121 to Rear end side deviate 30mm position between bending coefficient M change rate, preferably 1.7 or more, 3.0 hereinafter, more preferable 1.8 with Above, 3.0 or less.In addition, the change rate is the flexure at the position of the bending coefficient divided by front end side at the position of rear end side The obtained value of coefficient, for example, between position 121 and position 122, based on the bending coefficient M at position 1210With position 122 The bending coefficient M at place1, as M1/M0Calculated value.
If bending coefficient M and its change rate within the above range when, operational reduction will not be caused, be easy when lip is closed Brush is carried out to sweep.
114 beam of pieces has more bristles.From plant hair side 111 to the length (staple length) of the front end of pieces 114, it is contemplated that pieces Bristle rigidity Deng Lai Decision needed for 114 are fixed, may be, for example, 6~13mm.Whole pieces 114 can be identical staple length, can also phase It is mutually different.

Boundary P1 in toothbrush 21 is:Two of the corner cut since neck 24 are formed in the plan view shape on head 22 The terminal of the curve of edge, that is, form the changed position of bending direction of the curve of corner cut.In Fig. 5 A, head and neck Boundary P1 is:The curve R1 to narrow since the width of two edge of formation corner cut on the head 22 in plan view, change as shape At the position of the straight line of two edge of same size.In addition, in plan view neck towards handle portion direction and what width broadened In the case of toothbrush, position consistencies of the boundary P1 in plan view with the width minimum in head and neck.
But the position for having such as head and neck the boundary P1 as the toothbrush that same widths are formed sometimes is difficult to Determining situation.At this point, will relative to length L21, with the front end 29 of handlebody 210 at a distance of 17.5% position (for example, length When L21 is 180mm, with the front end 29 of handlebody 210 at a distance of the position of 31.5mm) it is used as boundary P1.
For example, in plan view the part since head of neck it is of same size in the case of, in the neck Since the part head, measure width while slowly changing position towards head, by part of same size and Width starts the position at the variation of the part to become larger as boundary P1.In addition, in plan view neck since head Part width with narrowing close to head in the case of, in neck since the part head, on one side towards head Portion slowly changes position and measures width on one side, using the position of width minimum as boundary P1.
The deflection A on head 22, measures in accordance with the following methods.
As shown in Figure 6A, by make plant hair side 220 towards the top of vertical direction in a manner of, on the position (boundary of neck most thin portion P1 at position) toothbrush 21 is fixed with jig 2100.At this point, the height H on the basis of the height of the front end of handlebody 210 290
Then, as shown in Figure 6B, by the hammer of 200g 2102, it is suspended in the position of S, 210 front end 29 of handlebody after measuring 10 seconds Height, using its height as H1.The S is:Long axis direction length L24 (Fig. 5 A) in head 22 relative to plant hair portion, With plant hair portion front end at a distance of 10 ± 3% position.For example, in the case where it is 19mm to plant hair portion, S is and plants hair portion front end apart The position of 2.0mm.
Next, by H1And H0Absolute value of the difference found out as a (unit is mm).The a can use the survey such as altimeter It is fixed.It measures and is carried out at 25 ± 3 DEG C of room temperature.
