Abstract
Description
Zahnbürste mit Süßfaren-Kopfteil Toothbrush with a sweetfar head
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Zahnbürste, deren Kopfteil ganz oder teilweise von einer Süßwaren (z.B. Bonbon- oder Dauerlutscher)masse umgeben ist.The invention relates to a toothbrush, the head part of which is wholly or partially is surrounded by a mass of sweets (e.g. candy or permanent lollipops).
Bekanntlich ist die Karies inzwischen zu einem erheblichen Problem für die Volksgesundheit geworden und verursacht den Krankenkassen jedes Jahr Kosten in Millionenhöhe. Es steht auch fest, daß die Karies hauptsächlich durch den erheblich gestiegenen Verbrauch an Süßwaren (insbesondere solchen, die gelutscht werden und dadurch länger in der Mundhöhle verweilen) so stark zugenommen hat. Die Sü.ßwarenindustrie hat deshalb bereits versucht, dieses Problem dadurch anzugehen, daß in derartigen Süßwaren die hauptsächlich für die Karies verantwortliche Saccharose durch andere Stoffe (z.B. Zuckeralkohole, wie Sorbit, Mannit, Xylit) ersetzt wird. Derartige Süßwaren haben jedoch einen veränderten Geschmackston und werden insbesondere von Kindern nur ungern angenommen.It is well known that tooth decay has now become a significant problem for public health and causes costs to the health insurance companies every year in the millions. It is also clear that the tooth decay is mainly caused by the significant increased consumption of confectionery (especially those that are sucked and thus linger longer in the oral cavity) has increased so much. The confectionery industry has therefore already tried to address this problem in that in such Confectionery the sucrose mainly responsible for tooth decay by others Substances (e.g. sugar alcohols such as sorbitol, mannitol, xylitol) are replaced. Such Confectionery, however, has a different flavor tone and is particularly popular with Children are reluctant to accept.
Demnach muß nach wie vor der einzige Weg zur erfolgreichen Kariesbekampfune im regelmäßigen Zähneputzen gesehen werden. Wie statistische Untersuchungen zeigen, ist es jedoch außerordentlich schwierig, eine breitere Bevölkerungsmehrheit, vor allem auch die besonders kariesgefährdeten Ki*der, hierfür zu gewinnen.Accordingly, the only way to successfully fight tooth decay must still be seen in regular tooth brushing. As statistical studies show However, it is extraordinarily difficult to reach a broader majority of the population especially the children who are particularly at risk of caries to be won over.
Der Erfindung liegt somit die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine zur Benutzung anreizende Zahnbürste zu schaffen.The invention is therefore based on the object of using one To create stimulating toothbrush.
Gemäß der Erfindung wird nunmehr vorgeschlagen, das Kopfstück einer Zahnbürste ganz oder auch nur teilweise (z.B. nur die Borsten) mit einer Süßwarenmasse zu überziehen. Hierfür infrage kommen hauptsächlich lutschfähige Massen wie Bonbon- oder Dauerlutschmasse.According to the invention it is now proposed that the head piece a Toothbrush in whole or in part (e.g. only the bristles) with a confectionery mass to cover. For this purpose, there are mainly suckable masses such as candy or permanent air mass.
Vorteilhaft werden die Größenverhältnisse der Zahnbürste sowie die Dicke und Form des Überzugs so abgestimmt, daß ein einem handelsüblichen Dauerlutscher vergleichbarer Gegenstand entsteht. Es ist überdies möglich, die Zahnbürste als sog. Einweg-Zahnbürste auszubilden, d.h. in der Herstellung so billig zu machen, daß bereits die einmalige Benutzung der Zahnbürste mit anschließendem Wegwerfen für den Käufer attraktiv ist.The proportions of the toothbrush and the Thickness and shape of the coating matched so that a standard long-term lollipop comparable object is created. It is also possible to use the toothbrush as a to train so-called disposable toothbrushes, i.e. to make them so cheap to manufacture, that already the single use of the toothbrush with subsequent throwing away is attractive to the buyer.
Dies kann beispielsweise so geschehen, daß die gesamte Zahnbürste, (d.h. auch die Borsten) in einem Stück aus Weichplastik gepreßt wird.This can be done, for example, so that the entire toothbrush, (i.e. also the bristles) is pressed in one piece from soft plastic.
Gemäß einer besonders vorteilhaften Ausführungsform der Erfindung kann der Stiel der Zahnbürste (z.B. in der Nähe des Kopfteils) einen allseits verschlossenen Hohlraum enthalten, in welchem eine für eine einmalige Zahnreinigung ausreichende Menge Zahnpasta, Zahnpulver oder Mundwasser enthalten ist. Dieser Hohlraum ist zweckmäßig so gekennzeichnet (z.B. durch eine Markierung an der Stieloberflnche), daß er von außen leicht bemerkt und geöffnet werden kann. Gegebenenfalls ist er an einer der Stieloberflächen (z.B. an der Innenseite des Stiels) auch nur durch eine transparente Folie versiegelt, so daß man seinen Inhalt ohne weiteres von außen wahrnimmt.According to a particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention the handle of the toothbrush (e.g. near the head part) can be closed on all sides Contain cavity in which one is sufficient for a single tooth cleaning Amount of toothpaste, tooth powder or mouthwash is contained. This cavity is useful so marked (e.g. by a mark on the Handle surface), that it can easily be noticed and opened from the outside. If necessary, he is on one of the handle surfaces (e.g. on the inside of the handle) a transparent film is sealed so that one can easily see its contents from the outside perceives.
Die Benutzungder neuen Zahnbürste erfolgt in der (eise, daß zunächst das Kopfteil, insbesondere die Borsten, durch Ablutschen der Süßwarenmasse freigelegt wird. Sodann wird entweder in üblicher Weise Zahnreinigungsmittel auf die Borsten gebracht oder der oben erwähnte Hohlraum geöffnet (z.B. durch Aufbeißen oder durch Abziehen der Folie) und das Zahnreinigungsmittel - z.B. durch Pressen des aus Weichplastik hergestellten Stiels - entnommen.The new toothbrush is used as follows: the head part, in particular the bristles, exposed by sucking off the confectionery mass will. Then either dentifrice is applied to the bristles in the usual way brought or the cavity mentioned above opened (e.g. by biting open or through Peeling off the foil) and the tooth cleaning agent - e.g. by pressing the soft plastic manufactured stem - taken.
Die anschließende Zahnreinigung erfolgt wie allgemein üblich.The teeth are then cleaned as usual.
Das neue Gerät hat den Vorteil, daß der Verbraucher zunächst den enninschten Genuß einer Süßware hat, danach aber der Gefahr, seine Zähne durch Karies zu gefährden, durch unmittelbar anschließendes Reinigen der Zähne mittels einer sofort greifbaren und voll einsatzfähigen Zahnbürste entgehen kann.The new device has the advantage that the consumer is initially interested Enjoy a confectionery, but then run the risk of endangering his teeth with tooth decay, by cleaning the teeth immediately afterwards using an immediately graspable and fully operational toothbrush can escape.
