Abstract

The toothbrush consists of a handle (1), containing the water or electric drive rotating the drive shaft (6). A replaceable brush (2) on a spindle (3) can be attached to this drive shaft (6), the bristles of which are vertical to the drive shaft. Both the brush (2) and the spindle (3) are surrounded by a protective casing (4), shaped to allow a third of the bristles on the brush to be exposed. This protective casing (4) also surrounds a part of the handle (1) and is fixed by a snap fastener. A switch (5) for switching the toothbrush brush on and off, as well as for reversing direction is on the handle. The toothbrush is safe to use without harming the inside of the cheek or mouth.

Description

Rotierende ZahnbürsteRotating toothbrush

Bisher sind sowohl einfache Bürsten, die von Hand geführt werden, wie auch vibrierende Bürsten mit entsprechendem Antrieb in Gebrauch. In beiden Fällen läßt sich die von Arztseite empfohlene Putzbewegung - vom Zahnfleisch weg, an den Zahnfugen entlang - nur höchst unvollkommen erzielen. Besonders die vibrierende Bürste hat in dieser Hinsicht keinen oder nur minimaler Räumeffekt.So far, both simple brushes that are operated by hand, as well as vibrating brushes with a corresponding drive in use. In both cases the cleaning movement recommended by the doctor can be used - away from the gums and towards the Along tooth joints - only achieve extremely imperfectly. Especially the vibrating one In this regard, brush has little or no spatial effect.

Der Zahnarzt verwendet bewußt rotierende Bürsten, um den gewünschten Räumeffekt zu erzielen. Allerdings benötigt er ein zusätzliches Werkzeug, um die Weichteile von der rotierenden Bürste fernzuhalten.The dentist deliberately uses rotating brushes to get the desired To achieve spatial effect. However, he needs an additional tool to do the Keep soft tissue away from the rotating brush.

Zweck der Erfindung ist es, eine motorisch getriebene Zahnborste mit wesentlich verbesserter Putzwirkung zu schaffen.The purpose of the invention is to use a motor-driven tooth bristle to create a significantly improved cleaning effect.

Dies geschieht mit Hilfe einer scheibenförmigen, rotierenden Bürste, die so abgedeckt ist, daß sie gefahrlos in die Mundhöhle eingeführt werden kann.This is done with the help of a disc-shaped, rotating brush, which is covered so that it can be safely inserted into the oral cavity.

Eine rotierende Bürste gemäß der Erfindung hat folgende wesentliche Vorteile: - die Bürste ist zu ca. 2/3 ihres Umfanges von einer Schutzschale umschlossen, die ein gefahrloses Einführen in Mund- und Backenraum sichert; - die lange Achse der Bürste ist bevorzugt auswechselbar in der Antriebswelle fixiert und außerdem in der vorgenannten Schutzschale zusätzlich gelagert; - die Schutzschale umschließt nicht nur die Bürste, sie umfaßt auch den Handgriff mit dem Antriebselement; - die Drehrichtung der Bürste kann jederzeit umgekehrt werden, um die gewünschte Räumwirkung, vom Zahnfleisch weg, an jeder Stelle des Gebisses zu erreichen.A rotating brush according to the invention has the following essentials Advantages: - the brush is about 2/3 of its circumference enclosed in a protective shell, which ensures safe insertion into the mouth and cheekbones; - the long axis of the brush is preferably fixed interchangeably in the drive shaft and also stored in the aforementioned protective shell; - the protective shell not only encloses the brush, it also includes the handle with the drive element; - The direction of rotation of the brush can be reversed at any time to the desired one Clearance effect, away from the gums, to be achieved at every point on the dentition.

In der Zeichnung ist eine teilweise geschnittene Ansicht einer Zahnbürste gemäß der Erfindung dargestellt. Sie weist einen Handgriff 1 mit einem nicht gezeigten Antrieb für eine Antriebswelle 6 auf. Mit dieser Welle ist auswechselbar eine Bürstenachse 3 mit einer Bürste 2 verbunden. Die Börstender Bürste verlaufen senkrecht zur Antriebswelle und Bürstenachse. Die Bürste und Bürstenachse sind so von einer Schutzschale 4 umgeben, daß etwa das untere Drittel der Bürste mit den Borsten aus der Schutzschale herausragt. Die Schutzschale umfaßt auch einen Teil des Handgriffes und ist dort z.B. in Art eines Schappverschlusses (nicht gezeigt) fixiert. In der Schutzschale ist außerdem noch die Bürstenachse 3 an der Bürste 2 gelagert.In the drawing is a partially sectioned view of a toothbrush shown according to the invention. It has a handle 1 with a not shown Drive for a drive shaft 6. A brush shaft can be exchanged with this shaft 3 connected to a brush 2. The Börstender brushes run perpendicular to the drive shaft and brush axis. The brush and brush axis are surrounded by a protective shell 4, that about the lower third of the brush with the bristles protrudes from the protective shell. The protective shell also includes part of the handle and is there e.g. in Art a snap fastener (not shown) fixed. In the protective shell is also the brush shaft 3 is still mounted on the brush 2.

Am Handgriff 1 ist noch ein Schalter 5 zum Ein- und Ausschalten sowie zur Drehrichtungsumkehr der Bürste vorgesehen.On the handle 1 there is also a switch 5 for switching on and off as well intended to reverse the direction of rotation of the brush.

Die Zahnbürste wird entweder elektristchr sie kann aber auch durch Wasserdruck über Turbinenrädchen angetrieben werden; für jede Drehrichtung ist dann ein Turbinenrädchen vorgesehen.The toothbrush is either electric, but it can also be through Water pressure are driven by turbine wheels; for each direction of rotation is then a turbine wheel is provided.

Das Wasser kann außerdem etwa über einen Schlauch zur Bürste geleitet werden, um die Reinigung noch durch Spülung zu unterstützen.The water can also be directed to the brush via a hose to aid cleaning with rinsing.

Mit einer solchen Zahnbürste wird erreicht, daß das Reinigen der Zähne, insbesondere der Zahnfugen, in technisch wirksamer und gefahrloser Weise so geschieht, daß die Reinigungsbewegung vom Zahnfleischweg erfolgt, wie es von zahnärztlicher Seite gefordert wird.With such a toothbrush it is achieved that the cleaning of the teeth, especially the tooth joints, in technically more effective and safer Way so that the cleaning movement takes place from the gum path, as it does is required by the dentist.
