Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to a tooth cleaning product, in particular to a three-in-one tooth cleaning rod with a toothpick, an interdental brush and a dental floss rod structure, which is expected to be carried by a wide range of users no matter which group is in favor or habit of tooth cleaning, and can carry out diversified, thorough and effective cleaning work on dental calculus, food residue or dental plaque on the surfaces of teeth and/or between teeth in a mouth cavity by using the toothpick, the interdental brush or dental floss according to personal requirements, taste or habit at any time and any place, and can ensure that the surfaces of the teeth, the gingiva and the gingival papilla of the users cannot be damaged when the tooth cleaning work is carried out, so as to effectively avoid deriving oral diseases such as interdental decaying teeth, periodontal diseases and gingivitis (such as gingival swelling, gingival bleeding and the like), and greatly help to prevent the decaying teeth (especially the interdental decaying teeth) and the periodontal disease, thereby effectively preventing the risk and the probability of suffering coronary artery or other cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases (such as heart disease, vessel blockage, various strokes, senile dementia, amnesia and the like) caused by various oral diseases.
Background
At present, in nearly two to thirty years, along with the vigorous development of economy in all countries in the world, most of people living in urban areas are free from the poverty state of shortage of living matters, and people live a modern life which is extremely rich, convenient and comfortable in eating, clothes, living and walking, not only pay attention to the eating enjoyment, but also pay attention to the health condition of the oral cavity of the individual, in particular, after three meals every day are full, in order to avoid food residues to stay between the tooth surfaces and the tooth gaps, the food residues ferment and decay in the oral cavity, so that bacteria are bred, odor is emitted in the oral cavity, dental plaque is formed on the tooth surfaces or the dental caries is caused, and the teeth surfaces and the tooth gaps are cleaned by selecting tooth cleaning articles such as toothpicks, interdental brushes, dental floss or dental floss bars according to the individual requirements, preferences or habits; in response to the wide and urgent need, various cleaning products made of different materials and having different shapes are available in the market, which provides consumers with diversified choices, and is expected to be favored by consumers, so that the consumers can effectively remove food residues, tartar or dental plaque on the tooth surfaces or between the teeth, and the oral cavity of the consumers is ensured to be clean and sanitary, thereby gaining business opportunities for technicians in the field and gaining profits.
Referring to fig. 1, a conventional floss pick 10 is illustrated, wherein the conventional floss pick 10 includes a floss fixing body 101 and a holding body 102, the floss fixing body 101 is U-shaped, two opposite ends of the floss fixing body 101 are respectively fixed to two ends of a floss 103, and the holding body 102 is fixed to the floss fixing body 101 for a user to hold; thus, the user can grasp the holding body 102 of the conventional dental floss stick 10 with two fingers (e.g., thumb and forefinger) after meals and put the dental floss fixing body 101 into the mouth, so that the dental floss 103 on the dental floss fixing body 101 can be used to scrape off tartar or food residues on the surfaces of teeth and in the crevices of teeth.
Although referring to fig. 1 again, the floss 103 of the conventional floss pick 10 can be used for the user to remove food residue and tartar on the surface and between teeth, although the floss 103 is tightly stretched on the conventional floss pick 10, the user must first apply pressure to the floss fixing body 101 to make the floss 103 extend into between teeth, and then move the conventional floss pick 10 back and forth to remove the food residue and tartar between teeth by the floss 103, however, when the floss 103 is too small, the floss 103 is not easy to enter between teeth, or when the floss fixing body 101 is deformed to make the floss 103 no longer tightly stretched, the food residue and tartar between teeth and/or between teeth adjacent to the gum are not easy to be removed, therefore, most users often apply too much force to the conventional floss pick 10 to make the floss 103 extend into between teeth, the floss fixing body 101 is twisted and deformed, so that the tight and tough floss 103 or the hard floss fixing body 101 rubs or hits the gum and the gingival papilla of the user, thereby causing bleeding of the gum and the gingival papilla and bacterial infection.
In view of the above, referring to fig. 2, a person skilled in the art designs and manufactures a prior art interdental brush 11, wherein the prior art interdental brush 11 is composed of a supporting body 110 and an elastic bristle body 113, wherein the supporting body 110 is made of a first plastic material, a handle portion 111 is formed adjacent to one end thereof, the handle portion 111 is flat so that a user can hold the handle portion with two fingers (e.g., thumb and forefinger), and the other end thereof linearly extends away from the handle portion 111 to form a bristle support portion 112, and the bristle support portion 112 is in the shape of an elongated rod.
In the interdental brush 11 of the prior art, referring back to fig. 2, the elastic bristle body 113 is made of a second plasticized material, and is coated on the surface of the portion of the bristle support 112 adjacent to the free end 112f thereof, and a plurality of bristles 1130 are formed on the surface thereof in a vertical direction; since the hardness of the first plasticized material is greater than that of the second plasticized material in the interdental brush 11 of the prior art, the supporting body 110 of the interdental brush 11 of the prior art has sufficient structural strength to be held and applied by a user, and can simultaneously support the elastic bristle body 113 and the bristles 1130 thereon, so that the supporting body has sufficient structural strength and sufficient softness, and after the elastic bristle body 113 and the bristles 1130 thereon smoothly extend into the interdental spaces of the user, the bristles 1130 can be moved back and forth to easily brush food residues and dental debris between the interdental spaces of the user. Generally speaking, since the gaps between the teeth of the user are large near the gum, when the user touches the gaps too small, the user can take the handle 111 of the prior art interdental brush 11, put the free end 112f of the prior art interdental brush 11 into the oral cavity of the user, and after the teeth are aligned with the gaps between the teeth near the gum, the user can pass through the gaps one by one, so as to easily brush away the food residue and tartar remaining in the gaps between the teeth and bring the gaps between the teeth out for cleaning by the elastic brush body 113 and the brush bristles 1130 thereon. Meanwhile, the soft and elastic bristles 113 and the bristles 1130 thereon can be used to massage the gums corresponding to the slits of teeth in a reciprocating manner. Therefore, on the premise of effectively avoiding bleeding caused by gum injury, food residues and dental debris remained in the tooth gaps adjacent to the gum can be completely removed, and the gum can be massaged repeatedly to effectively promote the blood circulation of the gum, thereby achieving the double-effect health care purpose of maintaining the health of the teeth and the gum.
Although the conventional dental floss stick 10 and the prior art interdental brush 11 have specific users based on their characteristics and functions, for a huge population of meat or vegetarian foods, since the conventional dental floss stick 10 and the prior art interdental brush 11 do not provide a mechanism for users to easily remove animal or plant fibers firmly stuck between the teeth, the population of meat or vegetarian foods still tends to use the conventional bamboo toothpick to make the tip thereof easily pass through the gaps between the teeth (or slits between teeth, slits) of users by using the sharp configuration and the tough material characteristics of the bamboo toothpick, and to accurately and surely perform effective removal and cleaning work on the animal or plant fibers firmly stuck in the gaps between the teeth, unfortunately, in the process of using the bamboo toothpick, the rod body part adjacent to the tip of the bamboo toothpick is unconsciously pressed into the papillary area between teeth, so that gaps which do not exist originally are formed in the papillary area between teeth, and therefore, under the condition of using the bamboo toothpick for tooth picking for a long time, the gaps naturally become bigger and bigger, and further the problem that the gaps between teeth become bigger and bigger is caused, even under the condition that force is not applied properly when a user picks teeth, enamel on the surface of teeth, papilla of gum or soft tissue of gum are injured due to the sharp configuration and tough material of the front end of the bamboo toothpick, gum injury bleeding is caused, and local bacterial infection is caused, which is the main reason why most dentists call for patients to use the bamboo toothpick absolutely, and which strongly suggests the patients, no matter what kind of toothpick is made of material, in addition to the fact that the toothpick is required to be soft and hard to use, the toothpick is only suitable for users who suffer from gingival papilla atrophy and increased gaps between teeth.
As described above, in view of the special needs and love of toothpick by a specific group, the art develops and designs a special structure of the toothpick brush 1, please refer to fig. 3 and 4, the toothpick brush 1 is made of a hard plasticized material containing fibers by integral molding, and comprises a handle section 12, a cleaning section 13, a bristle section 15 and a toothpick section 17, wherein a holding groove 121 is respectively recessed on two corresponding sides of the handle section 12, when a user holds the handle section 12 with two fingers (such as a thumb and a forefinger), a part of the skin of the user's fingers will sink into the holding groove 121 to increase the friction force of the fingers holding the toothpick brush 1, so that the user can firmly hold the handle section 12 when cleaning teeth with the toothpick brush 1, so as to stably and precisely apply force to the toothpick brush 1, thereby preventing the fingers of the user from slipping off the handle section 12 to cause inconvenience in use, even more, the problem that the gum nipple and gum are injured and bleed due to improper force application to the toothpick brush 1 caused by the slipping of the fingers of the user can be prevented.
Referring to fig. 3 and 4 again, in the toothpick brush 1, one end of the cleaning section 13 is connected to one end of the handle section 12, and the width of the cleaning section 13 is gradually reduced from one end to the other end thereof to form a cone, so that the other end of the cleaning section 13 is easily inserted into the gaps between the teeth of the adjacent teeth, thereby pushing and pulling out food residues and tartar remained between the gaps. In addition, a plurality of first scraping units 131 are respectively disposed on two corresponding side surfaces of the cleaning section 13, when the cleaning section 13 extends into the gaps between the teeth and moves back and forth, the first scraping units 131 can scrape off food residues, tartar and dental plaque located between the gaps between the teeth, so as to achieve the effect of effectively cleaning the teeth, and as shown in fig. 3 and 4, the first scraping units 131 can be manufactured into a concave or other shape according to the production or market requirements on the toothpick brush 1, such as: bumps, waves, etc.
Further, referring to fig. 3 and 4, the bristle section 15 includes a rod 151 and a plurality of bristles 153, wherein one end of the rod 151 is connected to the other end of the cleaning section 13, the diameter of the rod 151 is gradually reduced from one end to the other end of the rod 1, the minimum diameter of the rod 151 is preferably 0.35 to 0.45 millimeters (mm), and the maximum diameter of the rod 151 is preferably 0.55 to 0.65 mm, so that when a user cleans teeth using the bristle section 15, the other end of the rod 151 can be easily inserted into the crevices, and the first scraping unit 131 can effectively clean the teeth after the other end of the cleaning section 13 is inserted into the crevices.
Referring to fig. 3 and 4 again, the bristles 153 are spaced apart from each other at two opposite side edges of the rod 151, and the lengths of the bristles 153 are gradually reduced from the middle region of the rod 151 to two ends of the rod 151, so that food residues and tartar can be taken out from gaps between teeth by a plurality of rows of bristles 153 and their length changes, wherein the distance between the bristles 153 located on the same side is preferably 0.4 to 0.6 mm, the length of the longest bristle 153A is preferably 1.4 to 1.8 mm, the length of the shortest bristle 153B is preferably 0.5 to 0.7 mm, and the number of the bristles 153 located on the same side is preferably 8 to 10.
Referring to fig. 3 and 4 again, one end of the toothpick section 17 is connected to the other end of the handle section 12, the width of the toothpick section 17 gradually decreases from one end to the other end thereof to form a blade shape (as shown in fig. 3), and a plurality of second scraping units 171 are respectively disposed on two corresponding sides of the toothpick section 17, so that when the toothpick section 17 extends into the gaps between teeth, the second scraping units 171 can scrape off food residues, dental calculus and dental plaque located between the gaps between teeth, thereby achieving the effect of cleaning the teeth and the gaps between teeth, and further, on the toothpick brush 1, the second scraping units 171 can also be manufactured into a concave shape or other shapes according to the requirements of production or market, such as: the thickness of the thinnest portion of the toothpick section 17 is preferably 0.3-0.4 mm, and the thickness of the thickest portion of the toothpick section 17 is preferably 0.55-0.65 mm, so that the other end of the toothpick section 17 can be easily inserted into the crevice between teeth, and the second scraping unit 171 can be attached to the periphery of the teeth through the thickness change, thereby effectively removing tartar and dental plaque on the surface of the teeth. In addition, in order to enable the toothpick section 17 to clean the teeth and enable the user to scrape the tongue coating on the tongue surface, the toothpick section 17 can be made into a knife body shape and has a wider area.
In summary, since the toothpick brush 1 has the structural features of the cleaning section 13, the bristle section 15 and the toothpick section 17, theoretically, it seems to have the efficacy of both the toothpick in the prior art and the interdental brush in the prior art, so that the user can select the appropriate cleaning section 13, bristle section 15 or toothpick section 17 to clean the teeth and interdental spaces according to his/her needs, and can scrape off the residues, tartar and dental plaque between the interdental spaces on the teeth by the design of the scraping units 131 and 171, thereby having better practicability. However, when the user actually uses the toothpick brush 1, since the whole toothpick brush is integrally formed by the hard plasticized material containing fibers, the function and effect of the toothpick brush are still different from those of the traditional bamboo toothpick, and a gap which does not exist originally is still easily formed in the papillary area between teeth in the using process, so that the gap naturally becomes bigger and bigger as a result of long-term use of the toothpick brush 1, and the problem that teeth become bigger and bigger is further caused, even the gingival or gum bleeding is caused by the sharp configuration and the tough material characteristics of the front ends of the cleaning sections 13, the bristle sections 15 or the toothpick sections 17, which are caused by improper force application when the user picks teeth, and further the local bacterial infection is caused. In addition, no matter the toothpick brush 1, the conventional dental floss stick 10 or the interdental brush 11 of the prior art is used, the user has to open the mouth for the teeth (such as molar teeth) located at the back of the oral cavity, and the user can press the mouth corner with the toothpick brush 1, the conventional dental floss stick 10 or the interdental brush 11 of the prior art with great force, so that the dental floss 103 on the bristle section 15 or the conventional dental floss stick 10 and the bristles 1130 on the interdental brush 11 of the prior art can extend into the interdental spaces of the teeth at the back, which not only causes great inconvenience to the user in use, but also is very unattractive, therefore, how to fully improve the toothpick brush 1, the conventional dental floss stick 10 and the interdental brush 11 of the prior art, so as to not only make the use of the toothpick brush more convenient and beautiful, but also effectively protect the surfaces of the teeth of the user, Under the premise of the gingival papilla and gingiva, the present invention provides users with diversified options of toothpicks, interdental brushes, floss pick, etc., which is an important issue for the research and development of the industry.
