DE202005004875U1 - Holder for two sections of dental floss, has central joining strip transitioning at ends into bows holding tensioned floss fiber, and orientated mutually at right angles - Google Patents

Abstract

The joining strip (10) has two ends, each transitioning into a bow (11, 12) on which a section of dental floss is tensioned, with the openings in the bows mutually at right angles. Minor variations of the bows are detailed.

Description

The The invention relates to a dental floss holder, in particular a dental floss holder, which has two dental floss holders and ergonomic requirements equivalent. Furthermore let her Convenient and easy to handle. Through the new construction The dental floss holder is still a free choice of a suitable Floss in adaptation to positions and angles of the tooth column possible.

• 1. Die Zahnseide d verläuft parallel zur Achse des Bedienungsgriffs a, wobei die Spalte zwischen den Backenzähnen innerhalb des Mundes fast senkrecht zu dem Mund angeordnet ist. Tritt dieser konventionelle Zahnseidenhalter von vorne nach hinten in den Mund ein, kann die Zahnseide d nur mit leicht sägenden Bewegungen in den Zwischenraum der Zähne einfädeln. Außerdem ist der Zahnseidenbügel b fast nicht in der Lage, die Zahnseide d hin und her zu ziehen, wodurch eine gründliche Reinigung des Zahnspalts nur mit großen Schwierigkeiten zu erreichen ist.
• 2. Da der Bedienungsgriff a des herkömmlichen Zahnseidenhalters als schmales Stäbchen ausgebildet ist, ergibt sich eine sehr geringe Fläche zum Halten des ganzen Zahnseidenhalters, was die Handhabung der Zahnseide in erheblichem Maße erschwert.

A conventional dental floss holder is made as is 6 can be seen from an operating handle a and a dental floss b. The operating handle a is designed as a narrow plastic rod whose end merges into the dental floss strap b. The dental floss strap b has a prong c projecting on the operating handle a. A floss d is stretched on the dental floss b. The dental floss strap b has an opening which is perpendicular to the operating handle a. However, the conventional dental floss holder has the following disadvantages:

• 1. The dental floss d runs parallel to the axis of the operating handle a, wherein the gap between the molars inside the mouth is arranged almost perpendicular to the mouth. If this conventional dental floss holder enters the mouth from the front to the rear, the dental floss d can only thread into the space between the teeth with slightly sawing movements. In addition, the dental floss b is almost unable to pull the dental floss d back and forth, whereby a thorough cleaning of the tooth gap can be achieved only with great difficulty.
• 2. Since the operating handle a of the conventional dental floss holder is designed as a narrow rod, results in a very small area for holding the whole dental floss holder, which makes the handling of the floss difficult to a considerable extent.

Out For this reason, in view of the disadvantages of the present inventor Solutions, based on longtime Experience in the field of dental care, after a long study, numerous Attempts and unavoidable improvements to the present invention developed.

By the invention provides a dental floss holder, the two having substantially perpendicular to each other dental floss holder, resulting in between the teeth make it easier to remove leftovers and dental plaque by having one of the floss holders in adjustment to locations and angles of the tooth gap is used.

In addition, will created by the invention, a dental floss holder, with the a larger holding area for disposal can be asked, what for easy handling and exercise.

Further is created by the invention, a dental floss holder, in of the two flosses available stand, whereby the cost of materials are kept as low as possible can.

The Invention has in particular the features specified in claim 1 on. Advantageous embodiments of the invention are specified in the subclaims.

in the Following are objects, features and operation of the invention based on the preferred embodiments and the accompanying drawings explained in more detail. It demonstrate:

1 a schematic representation of a first embodiment of a dental floss holder according to the invention;

2 a perspective drawing of the first embodiment of a dental floss holder according to the invention;

3 a schematic representation of a second embodiment of a dental floss holder according to the invention;

4 a schematic representation of an application example of a dental floss holder according to the invention;

5 a schematic representation of another application example of a dental floss holder according to the invention; and

6 a schematic representation of a dental floss holder according to the prior art.

Referring to 1 to 3 a dental floss holder according to the invention comprises a transition bar 10 and two dental floss holders 21 . 22 ,

The transition bar 10 has two ends, each in a hanger 11 . 12 go over to a floss thread 13 is curious. The temples 11 . 12 have respective openings that are perpendicular to each other [see 1 or 3 ].

The coat hanger 11 whose dental floss thread 13 is substantially parallel to the transition bar 10 runs, has a tilting outward support arm 111 on, with an easier removal of plaque in the area of the gum line of the tongue facing the upper and lower incisors the lower palate is ensured by the floss thread 13 of the dental floss holder 21 has greater freedom of movement. In addition, the temple has 12 whose floss thread 13 perpendicular to the transition bar 10 runs, an intermediate strip 121 on, over the two sides of the temple 12 interconnected, thereby significantly strengthening the construction of the bracket 12 is possible. In addition, the user thus has a larger gripping surface for handling the dental floss.

By the above-mentioned design are two dental floss holders 21 . 22 on a single transition bar 10 available, which ensures an effective reduction of material and manufacturing costs. The openings of the temples 11 . 12 the dental floss holder 21 . 22 Stand substantially perpendicular to each other, allowing the user to adapt to locations and angles of the teeth of one of the floss holders 21 . 22 which makes it easier to handle and to improve the cleaning result [see 5 ]. When using the dental floss holder according to the invention is the unused floss holder 21 . 22 held by hand. In addition, the temple runs 11 at right angles to the transition bar 10 and is substantially F-shaped, while the two side arms of the bracket 12 in the end of the transition bar 10 go over and thus forms a substantially Y-shape. The dental floss holder 21 . 22 Therefore, it has a substantially larger area than the transition bar 10 on, resulting in a significant facilitation of the application of force when moving the dental floss.

The Invention is not limited to the described embodiments, but rather arise for the person skilled in the main scope of the invention diverse Abwandlungs- and modification options. In particular, the scope of the invention is defined by the claims.
