Zahnbürste -2-Toothbrush -2-
BeschreibungDescription
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Zahnbürste mit einem Bürstenkapf, einer sphärisch ausgeformten Auflage für den Finger oder den Daumen (benannt "Fingerlager"), einem flexiblen Mittelteil und einem Handgriff.The invention relates to a toothbrush with a brush head, a spherically shaped support for the finger or thumb (called "finger support"), a flexible middle part and a handle.
Das Gebiss hat Zonen, die beim Reinigen nur schwierig zu erreichen sind und deshalb oft nur unzureichend gesäubert werden. Dies gilt besonders für die Lingualflachen der Eck- und Schneidezähne. Für die Reinigung dieser Problemzonen werden unterschiedliche Lösungen angeboten.There are areas of the teeth that are difficult to reach when cleaning and are therefore often not cleaned properly. This is especially true for the lingual surfaces of the canines and incisors. Different solutions are available for cleaning these problem areas.
Die Offenlegungsschrift DE 38 33 895 A1 beschreibt eine Zahnbürste mit einem angewinkelten (geknickten) Bürstenkopf, degenüber einer Zahnbürste mit flachem geraden Bürstenkapf ist die Reinigung der Lingualflachen der Zähne mit der beschriebenen Zahnbürste verbessert, aber noch immer schwierig.The published patent application DE 38 33 895 A1 describes a toothbrush with an angled (bent) brush head. Compared to a toothbrush with a flat, straight brush head, cleaning of the lingual surfaces of the teeth with the described toothbrush is improved, but still difficult.
Die Patentschrift DE 36 40 898 C1 beschreibt eine Zahnbürste, deren Bürstenkopf bei Belastung in jeder Ebene flexibel ausweicht. Die Reinigung der Lingualflachen der Zähne, besonders die der Eck- und Schneidezähne ist auch mit dieser Ausführung einer Zahnbürste nur schwierig zu bewerkstelligen.The patent document DE 36 40 898 C1 describes a toothbrush, the brush head of which flexibly deviates in every plane when subjected to pressure. Cleaning the lingual surfaces of the teeth, especially the canines and incisors, is difficult to accomplish even with this type of toothbrush.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Zahnbürste zu schaffen, die eine gründliche Reinigung der Zähne, besonders der schwer zu erreichenden Lingualflachen der Eck- und Schneidezähne gewährleistet .The invention is based on the object of creating a toothbrush that ensures thorough cleaning of the teeth, especially the hard-to-reach lingual surfaces of the canines and incisors.
Die Aufgabe ist dadurch gelöst, daß der Bürstenkopf durch Druck auf das Fingerlager in die für das Putzen im Bukkai- und Lingualbereich jeweils optimale Position abwinkelbar ist.The task is solved by the fact that the brush head can be angled into the optimal position for brushing in the buccal and lingual areas by applying pressure to the finger rest.
Die Zahnbürste besteht aus einem Bürstenkopf (1), einem Fingerlager (2), einem flexiblen Mittelteil (3) und einem Handgriff (U). Das Fingerlager (2) ist zwischen dem Bürstenkopf (1) und dem flexiblen Mittelteil (3) angeordnet. Bürstenkopf (1) und Fingerlager (2) bilden ein Bauteil und sind mit dem flexiblen Mittelteil (3) in einem Winkel (5) van ca 15 Grad verbunden. Das Fingerlager (2) ist eine sphärisch ausgeformte Vertiefung im Zahnbürstenrücken, mit kleinen Noppen versehen (nicht dargestellt) und soweit von der Bürstenkapfspitze entfernt angeordnet, daß es beim Reinigen der Zähne stets außerhalb der Mundhöhle bleibt. Das flexible Mittelteil (3) ist so elastisch ausgelegt, daß der Bürstenkapf (1) durch Druck auf das Fingerlager (2) bis zu einem Winkel (6) von ca 35 Grad, bezogen auf den Handgriff (4), abgewinkelt werden kann. Der Handgriff (.U) hat eine schlanke Tropfenform, gerundete Kanten und ist an seiner Oberfläche mit kleinen Moppen versehen (nicht dargestellt).The toothbrush consists of a brush head (1), a finger bearing (2), a flexible middle part (3) and a handle (U). The finger bearing (2) is arranged between the brush head (1) and the flexible middle part (3). The brush head (1) and finger bearing (2) form one component and are connected to the flexible middle part (3) at an angle (5) of approximately 15 degrees. The finger bearing (2) is a spherically shaped depression in the back of the toothbrush, provided with small knobs (not shown) and arranged far enough away from the tip of the brush head that it always remains outside the oral cavity when cleaning the teeth. The flexible middle part (3) is designed to be so elastic that the brush head (1) can be bent by pressing on the finger bearing (2) up to an angle (6) of approximately 35 degrees in relation to the handle (4). The handle (U) has a slim teardrop shape, rounded edges and is provided with small knobs on its surface (not shown).

Zur Reinigung der bukkalen Flächen der linken Backenzähne, der bukkalen Flächen der Eck- und Schneidezähne, der lingualen Flächen der rechten Backenzähne und der lingualen Flächen der unteren Eck- und Schneidezähne ujird der Handgriff (4) van Daumen, Mittel-, Ring- und kleinem Finger umfaßt, der Zeigefinger ruht auf dem Fingerlager (2). Zur Reinigung der genannten Zahnflächen wird der Bürstenkapf (1) durch Druck auf das Fingerlager (2) in die jeweils optimale Position abgewinkelt.To clean the buccal surfaces of the left molars, the buccal surfaces of the canines and incisors, the lingual surfaces of the right molars and the lingual surfaces of the lower canines and incisors, the handle (4) is grasped by the thumb, middle, ring and little fingers, the index finger rests on the finger rest (2). To clean the tooth surfaces mentioned, the brush head (1) is angled into the optimal position by pressing on the finger rest (2).
Zur Reinigung der bukkalen Flächen der rechten Backenzähne, der lingualen Flächen der linken Backenzähne und der lingualen Flächen der oberen Eck- und Schneidezähne wird der Handgriff (^) von Zeige-, Mittel-, Ring- und kleinem Finger umfaßt, der Daumen ruht auf dem Fingerlager (2). Durch Druck auf das Fingerlager (2) winkelt der Bürstenkopf (1) in die für die Reinigung optimale Posi t ion .To clean the buccal surfaces of the right molars, the lingual surfaces of the left molars and the lingual surfaces of the upper canines and incisors, grasp the handle (^) between the index, middle, ring and little fingers, with the thumb resting on the finger rest (2). By pressing on the finger rest (2), the brush head (1) is angled into the optimal position for cleaning.
Die beschriebenen Handhabungen beziehen sich auf einen Benutzer, der Rechtshänder ist, für Linkshänder gilt die spiegelbildliche Anwendung.The described handling procedures refer to a right-handed user; for left-handed users the mirror image application applies.
Die Zahnbürste hat den Vorteil, daß mit der Möglichkeit der stufenlosen Abwinkelung des Bürstenkopfes alle Zonen der Zähne, besonders die kritischen Lingualflachen der Eck- und Schneidezähne gut erreichbar zu reinigen sind.The toothbrush has the advantage that the possibility of continuously bending the brush head means that all areas of the teeth, especially the critical lingual surfaces of the canines and incisors, can be easily reached and cleaned.
