Definitions

  • This invention relates to an improved toothbrush for which Patent No. 17574 was issued to me by the Philippine Patent Office October 1, 1984.
  • This toothbrush deals with the positioning of two toothbrush heads, the longer one with a concave-shaped bristle surface made longer than the other, which has a convex shaped bristle surface.
  • One embodiment of this invention permits the two brush heads to be integrally and perpendicularly connected at their mid-section to each end of their common handle made either firm or foldable.
  • the other embodiment permits the longer brush head to be slidably attached to the brush head holder integrally and perpendicularly attached to the end of its handle.
  • the shorter brush head is attached to the bent end of said handle, this time, it is attached to the straight end of the same common handle, to permit a more convenient and more efficient brushing of the lingual surface of and the chewing surfaces of the teeth.
  • the toothbrushes being used today have their single toothbrush head permanently disposed in line with their handle, so that, their users have the tendency to brush the labial surfaces of their teeth, specially the left and right posterior teeth horizontally or, often times, not in the manner specifically prescribed by dentists. Because of their design or configuration, the cleansing of the lingual surfaces of the teeth is done minimally, if not out-right neglected, specially so, when users are in a hurry. This manner of cleansing their teeth, which has been formed as a habit, is very common to working parents as well as, to school children or students.
  • the general object of this invention is to provide its prospective end-users a new kind of toothbrush that will always make them conveniently and effectively brush up or down, the labial surfaces of the teeth, particularly, the left and right posterior teeth and effectively sweep off tiny food particles that cling to the lingual surfaces of the teeth and those left in-between them, as well as those that cling to their chewing surfaces.
  • Another object of this invention is to provide its end-users with a less expensive and yet more convenient and effective toothbrush thru the use of the slidable and economically replaceable toothbrush heads.
  • Another object of this invention is to provide cigarette smokers with a toothbrush that could conveniently and effectively sweep off the accumulation of blackish nicotine from the lingual surface of their teeth and forthwith prevent its further accumulation thereon thru the use of the shorter brush head.
  • Still another object of this invention is to provide those wearing full-dentured false teeth a more functional and, therefore more practical toothbrush they need while holding and cleansing their false teeth.
  • a toothbrush 10 having a handle 11 and brush heads 12 and 13 perpendicularly and integrally connected on opposite ends 14 and 15, respectively.
  • Handle 11 is provided with a bend 16 to which the longer brush head 12 is perpendicularly connected while the other end 15 is made somewhat straight to which the other toothbrush head 13, which is shorter, is integrally and perpendicularly connected to form T-shaped configuration 17.
  • this longer brush head 12 or 1 8 in another embodiment is provided with concave shaped bristle surface 32 purposely adapted to have the same or more or less the same configuration of labial (outer) surface of the teeth.
  • the shorter brush head 13 or 19 made short enough to permit effective and convenient cleansing of the lingual surfaces of the teeth by sweep method, is provided with convex-shaped bristle surface 33 purposedly adapted to conform with the curvature of the lingual (inner) surfaces of the teeth and thereby making it conveniently and effectively sweep off the tiny food particles from said lingual surfaces of and in-between the teeth, as well as those from their chewing surfaces.
  • each toothbrush head 18 and 19 could be detachably or slidably connected to toothbrush head holders 20 and 21 respectively.
  • Each toothbrush head 18 and 19 is provided with a pair of channels 22 and 23, respectively, with a groove 24 disposed along the length at the center and a slot 25 at the mid-section thereof.
  • each toothbrush head holder 20 and 21 which is integrally connected to the the handle 26 is provided with a pair of tongues 27 and 28, respectively, with studs 29 and 30, protruding at its centermost section designed to ride along the groove 24 on top of the brush head 18 when said brush holder 20 is inserted into and pushed forward into said brush head 18 thru its pair of channels 22 so that the stud 29 may go over a hump 31 and forthwith drop into the slot 25 to firmly position itself therein.
  • FIG 3 is the perspective view of the entire toothbrush assembly as described in Figure 4 ready for use in the brushing the teeth.
  • the toothbrush 34 having separate handles 35 and 36 with their ends 37 and 38 connected pivotally is purposely adapted to make the toothbrush less bulky when stored or not being used.
