Abstract

The toothbrush head is a multi-section holder (1), the individual sections being joined by hinges (2). The end section carries inside several cylindrical brushes (3), arranged horizontally and parallel to the axis of the brush. These can be rotated by a small motor contained in the other end section (6), the transmission being by flexible shafts (5). ADVANTAGE - Allows simultaneous cleaning of both tooth sides in direction recommended by dentists.

Description

Bei derzeitig verwendeten Bürstenköpfen von elektrischen Zahnbürsten ist die Bewegung des Bürstenkopfes entweder durch ein Schwingen des gesamten Bürstenkopfes einschließ­ lich der starren Borsten gekennzeichnet oder mehrere im Bürstenkopf gelagerte Borstenbündel werden in eine Drehbewe­ gung versetzt.With currently used brush heads of electrical Toothbrushing is the movement of the brush head either by swinging the entire brush head marked the rigid bristles or several im Brush head-mounted bristle bundles are turned in a rotating motion offset.

Alle mir bekannten Funktionsweisen bzw. Ausführungen von Bürstenköpfen können die zahnärztlich empfohlene Zahnputz­ weise (vom Zahnfleisch in Richtung Zahn) nicht ermöglichen, da bei allen Ausführungen der Bürstenköpfe bzw. Antriebsar­ ten der Borsten diese auch in die Gegenrichtung (gem. o. g. Zahnputzweise) bewegt werden.All of the functions and designs known to me from Brush heads can be the dentist's recommended toothbrush wise (from the gum towards the tooth), because in all versions of the brush heads or drive arm ten of the bristles also in the opposite direction (according to the above Teeth brushing method).

Außerdem ist es mit keiner mir bekannten Ausführung eines Bürstenkopfes für elektrische Zahnbürsten möglich alle drei Zahnseiten (Innenseite, Außenseite, Kaufläche) gleichzeitig in o. g. Zahnputzweise zu reinigen. Der im Anspruch 1 angege­ benen Erfindung liegt das Problem zugrunde, die zahnärztlich empfohlene Zahnputzweise mit einem Bürstenkopf für elektri­ sche Zahnbürsten zu ermöglichen.In addition, it is not with any execution I know of Brush head for electric toothbrushes possible all three Tooth sides (inside, outside, occlusal surface) at the same time in the above To clean teeth brushing. The specified in claim 1 benen invention addresses the problem that dentistically Recommended brushing method with a brush head for electri enable toothbrushes.

Die mit dieser Erfindung erzielbaren Vorteile bestehen insbesondere darin, daß die o. g. Zahnputzweise durch die in Anspruch 2 genannten Merkmale und die Drehrichtung der Bürsten eingehalten wird.The advantages that can be achieved with this invention are especially in that the o. g. Tooth brushing method by the in Claim 2 mentioned features and the direction of rotation Brushing is observed.

Durch die in Anspruch 1 angegebenen Merkmale paßt sich der Bürstenkopf der Zahn- und Gebißstruktur an, wodurch das Reinigen aller drei Zahnflächen (Innenseite, Außenseite, Kaufläche) gleichzeitig möglich ist.Due to the features specified in claim 1, the Brush head of the tooth and denture structure, which means that Clean all three tooth surfaces (inside, outside, Purchase area) is possible at the same time.

Der Antrieb der Bürsten erfolgt nach den in Anspruch 3 genannten Merkmalen, die sich aus den Eigenschaften gem. Anspruch 1 ergeben.The brushes are driven in accordance with claim 3 mentioned features, which result from the properties acc. Claim 1 result.

Die Drehrichtung der Bürsten ist in der Zeichnung mit Dreh­ pfeilen angegeben.The direction of rotation of the brushes is in the drawing with rotation arrows indicated.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung ist in der Zeichnung dargestellt und wird im folgenden näher beschrieben. An embodiment of the invention is in the drawing shown and is described in more detail below.  

Der in Fig. 1 dargestellte Bürstenkopf besteht aus einer mehrteiligen Halterung (1), die durch Scharniere (2) flexibel miteinander verbunden sind.The brush head shown in Fig. 1 consists of a multi-part holder ( 1 ) which are flexibly connected to one another by hinges ( 2 ).

Mehrere zylindrische Bürsten (3) sind an den Innenseiten der Halterung drehbar gelagert eingebaut.Several cylindrical brushes ( 3 ) are rotatably mounted on the inside of the holder.

Dieser Teil der Halterung wird durch Spiralfedern (4), die in rohrförmigen Führungen (siehe Zeichnung Detail A) unter­ gebracht sind, zusammengehalten, wodurch die Anpassung an den Zahn gegeben ist.This part of the bracket is held together by spiral springs ( 4 ), which are placed in tubular guides (see drawing detail A), whereby the adaptation to the tooth is given.

Der Antrieb der Bürsten (3) erfolgt über mehrere biegsame Wellen (5). Die Drehpfeile für Drehrichtung der Bürsten sind zu beachten, um die zahnärztlich empfohlene Zahnputzweise einzuhalten.The brushes ( 3 ) are driven by several flexible shafts ( 5 ). The rotation arrows for the direction of rotation of the brushes must be observed in order to comply with the dentist's recommended method of brushing.

Das Getriebegehäuse (6) mit Zahnradgetriebe ist durch Schar­ niere (2) mit dem Bürstenkopf verbunden und dient der Ver­ bindung von elektrischer Zahnbürste (7) und Bürstenkopf.The gear housing ( 6 ) with gear transmission is connected by hinge kidney ( 2 ) to the brush head and is used to connect the electric toothbrush ( 7 ) and brush head.
