Abstract

In contrast to the customary electric toothbrushes having a brush head vibrating about the longitudinal axis, the invention provides a brush head which rotates continuously about the longitudinal axis and whose direction of rotation can in each case be adjusted by means of a switch in such a way that brushing is effected in a direction away from the gums. In a spiral arrangement of the bristles of the brush head, the vertical and horizontal conveyance is additionally accompanied by a sagittal conveyance of the dirt particles.

Description

Titel: -ZahnbürsteTitle: -Toothbrush

Anwendungsgebiet: Die Erfindung betrifft die Verbesserung der Zahnpflege, soweit diese durch Bürsten erfolgt, Zweck: Verbesserung der Reinigung der Zähne unter besonderer Berücksichtigung der Interdentalräume ( soweit der Bürste zugänglich), und der Zahnfleischmassage.Field of application: The invention relates to the improvement of dental care, as far as this is done by brushing, purpose: to improve the cleaning of teeth with special consideration of the interdental spaces (as far as the brush is accessible), and the gum massage.

Kritisch des Standes der Technik: Jede Bewegung beim Zähneputzen, die den Schmutz entfernen soll, muß sowohl bei herkömmlichen, als auch bei elektrisch betriebenen Zahnbürsten manuell ausgeführt werden; d. h. eine gründliche Zahnreinigung ist vom Geschick und der Ausdauer des Putzenden abhängig. Es werden hierbei oft durch Unwisserheit gesundheitsschädigende Fehler gemacht, wie z. B. daß Schmutzpartikel ins Saumepithel (Sulcus Gingivae) hineingerieben werden oder Fehler wie das horinzotale Putzen, mit schädlichen Folgen für marginales Parodont und Zahnhals.Critical of the state of the art: Every movement when brushing your teeth, which is supposed to remove the dirt, must be with conventional, as well as with electrical operated toothbrushes are run manually; d.

Lösung: Die Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß der Bürstenkopf im Halteapparat um die Bürstenlängsachse rotiert, wobei durch einen Schalter für Links- und Rechtslauf der Bürstenkopf immer so laufen kann, daß vom Zahnfleisch zum Zahn geputzt werden kann. (Abb. 3) Weitere Ausgestaltung der Erfindung: Um ein leichtes Ersetzen der verbrauchten Zahnbürsten zu ermöglichen ist der Apparat so konzipiert, daß neue Bürstenköpfe ohne weitere technische Hilfsmittel eingesetzt werden können, (Abb. 4, 5, 6) u. (Abb. 1+2) Hierzu sind vorerst drei unterschiedliche Bürstenköpfe vorgesehen: a) Walzenkopfbürste (Abb. 4) b) Spiralkopfbürste (Abb. 5) c) Borstenreihenkopf (Abb. 6) (Bei der Spiralkopfbürste kommt zu der Vertikal-und Horizontal- noch eine Sagitalbeförderung der Schmutzpartikel hinzu).Solution: The object is achieved according to the invention in that the brush head rotates around the longitudinal axis of the brush in the holding device, with a switch for Left and right rotation of the brush head can always run so that from the gums can be brushed to the tooth. (Fig. 3) Further embodiment of the invention: To a The apparatus is designed to enable easy replacement of used toothbrushes designed that new brush heads can be used without any further technical aids can be, (Fig. 4, 5, 6) and (Fig. 1 + 2) To do this, for the time being three different brush heads are provided: a) cylinder head brush (Fig. 4) b) spiral head brush (Fig. 5) c) Row of bristles head (Fig. 6) (With the spiral head brush comes the vertical and Horizontal, a sagittal transport of the dirt particles is added).

Erzielbare Vorteile: Die mit der Erfindung erzielten Vorteile bestehen insbesondere darin, daß eine gleichmäßig gute Zahnpflege besonders auch in den Approximalräumen gewährleistet ist, soweit diese einer Bürste zugänglich sind. Mit dieser rotierenden Bürste ist es möglich, immer in der korrekten Richtung (Zahnfleisch - Zähne) zu putzen, ohne daß mit der Hand komplizierte Bewegungsabläufe vollführt werden müßten. Zusätzlich wird die Zahnfleischmassage wesentlich verbessert.Achievable Advantages: The advantages achieved with the invention exist especially in the fact that a consistently good dental care, especially in the approximal spaces is guaranteed as long as they are accessible to a brush. With this rotating It is possible to brush always in the correct direction (gums - teeth) too clean without having to perform complicated movements by hand. In addition, the massage of the gums is significantly improved.
