Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for the mouth and teeth hygiene. It .comprises in combination an interchangeable tooth brush and a case in which a dentifrice - to which disinfectant substances may be added - is contained, said case being provided with a fluidtight cover; the container and cover being intended, as their main function, for keeping the toothbrush in an aseptic environment, a further purpose being that of rendering the toothbrush and the dentifrice holder as a whole more compact and in a single piece when the toohbrush is stored into said holder.
  • teeth hygiene that is a toothpaste tube or a liquid dentifrice bottle; a toothbrush and related case, and a personal mouth rinsing cup. All such items being separate from one another are cumbersome and liable to be mislaid and above all they do not ensure a total aseptic condition of the toothbrush.
  • a toothbrush recently put on the market by the Swiss firm TRISA under the trade name of RAPIDENT is provided a replaceable cartridge inserted in the toothbrush handle.
  • the dentifrice which is in the. liquid form, flows from the cartridge to the toothbrush head through a channel along the stem which connects the brush head to that portion of the handle where the cartridge is inserted.
  • the liquid dentifrice outflows from small holes which are provided over the brush head at the base of the bristles.
  • the toothbrush as above outlined is in fact a compact single-piece appliance. However it suffers from many deficiencies and, above all, it does not solve the object of maintaining the toothbrush constantly immersed into the dentifrice, that is in an aseptic medium, which is a major object of this invention. In fact any germs collected by the brush during a tooth cleaning operation are liable to grow if the brush is left in the open air with the simple protection of a cover. Furthermore there is no cuplike part for mouth rinsing in the above Swiss device.
  • a second purpose of the present invention is that of combining in a single device all the equipment which is required for keeping the teeth aseptically clean, in a compact selfcontai- ned kit.
  • a reservoir or container for a dentifrice which may be medicated or added with disinfectant substances
  • wich container is provided with a removable cover and adapted for receiving a toothbrush thereinto - when not making use of it - in such a position that the brush is sunk into the dentifrice.
  • this is withdrawn from the container and firmly attached on top thereof by means of a screw or a snap fitting.
  • the brush stem which connects the brush head to the container, being shorter than usual, the container itself functions as an handle for the brush.
  • a wiping element is provided inside of the container neck around the outlet thereof, for metering the amount of dentifrice entrained by the brush when withdrawing it from the container, for preventing any amount of dentifrice from leaking from the container, while cleaning the teeth and for wiping any dentifrice from the brush stem.
  • Such wiping element may have the form of a funnellike elastic membrane with a central hole through which the stem of the brush and the brush head are forced to slide when the toothbrush is withdrawn from the container or inserted thereinto.
  • a cuplike cover is provided for closing the container, which serves as a personal glass for rinsing the mouth.
  • the device of this invention comprises a cylindrical elongated container or reservoir 4 which in the illustrated embodiment has a larger transverse cross-section at the lower section both for better gripping the container and for readly fitting a cover 6 threon.
  • the inner surface of the rim of cover 6 tightly engages the outer surface of container 4 at the beginning of the portion thereof with larger cross-section.
  • Container 4 is filled with dentifrice of proper fluidity in which the brush head 8, that is the brush portion which carries the bristles, is immersed along with a portion of the brush stem 12.
  • the brush as a whole is indicated by reference number 10.
  • the brush stem 12 at its end opposite to the brush head 8 is provided with a base 14 which may be integral with stem 12 or bonded thereto. Base 14 projects from the container mouth when the brush is stored into the container and is provided with means for grasping it when the brush is to be withdrawn therefrom.
  • such means comprises a cavity 14' in which the user can insert the finger tips and apply an upward force for pulling the brush out of the container.
  • Base 14 is further provided with means such as peripheral grooves 14" adapted for co-operating with corresponding circular ridges 14'" of which the inner surface of the container neck is provided.
  • the engagement of grooves 14" with ridges 14"' ensures a fluidtight snap fitting which prevents any leakage of dentifrice from the container and of air thereinto.
  • a funnellike wiping element 18 is fitted into the mouth of container 4.
  • Element 18 comprises a membrane of elastomeric material which may be provided as shown in the drawings with inner circular fins 20 directed downwards; it may also comprise an outer funnellike sheath for backing the membrane and thus preventing it from being reversed upwards when the brush is withdrawn from container 4.
  • Element 18 is mounted on the mouth rim of container 4 and fastened thereto by clamping ring 22.
  • Each fin 20 defines a center hole having a size less than the toothbrush stem.
  • the brush 10 For using the brush 10, this is pulled out of the container by grasping the base 14 which is free from toothpaste and then not slippery. The brush is them overturned and its base 14 is fitted into the container neck. The container can thus be used as a handle for the brush as shown in fig. 2
  • a main feature of the invention is that the cuplike cover of the container can be used as a personal glass for mouth rinsing.
  • the toothbrush when not making use of it, is stored in an aseptic environment and that all the equipment required for properly cleaning the teeth and rinsing the mounth are assembled together in a single self-contained compact kit.
  • the reservoir can be refilled when needed with toothpaste and that all the kit components, the brush excluded, are not subject to wear and thus only the brush is to be replaced from time to time.
