Description

Elektrisches Gerät für die MundpflegeElectrical device for oral care
Die Erfindung betrifft ein elektrisches Gerät für die Mundpflege mit einem bewegbar gelagerten Teil.The invention relates to an electrical device for oral care with a movably mounted part.
Derartige Geräte wurden bisher nur als elektrische Zahnbürsten benutzt.Such devices have so far only been used as electric toothbrushes.
Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, den Anwendungsbereich dieser Geräte zu erweitern.The object of the present invention is to expand the field of application of these devices.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß das Teil einen Massagekopf für das Zahnfleisch aufweist, dessen massierende Bereiche aus Gummi oder gummiartigem Material bestehen und eine unre¬ gelmäßige Oberfläche besitzen. Vorzugsweise weist die Oberfläche des Massagekopfes Noppen, Rillen oder Wülste auf.This object is achieved according to the invention in that the part has a massage head for the gums, the massaging areas of which consist of rubber or rubber-like material and have an irregular surface. The surface of the massage head preferably has knobs, grooves or beads.
Die Erfindung wird im folgenden anhand von in den Figuren dargestellten Anführungsbeispielen näher erläutert. Es zeigen: Fig. 1 ein elektrisches; Gerät in Schnitt¬ darstellung mit einem Massagekopf in der Ansicht,The invention is explained in more detail below with reference to exemplary embodiments shown in the figures. Show it: Fig. 1 is an electrical; Device in sectional view with a massage head in the view,
Fig. 2 das Gerät nach Fig. 1 mit einem anderen Massagekopf,2 shows the device according to FIG. 1 with a different massage head,
Fig. 3 das Gerät nach Fig 1 mit einem weiteren Massagekopf undFig. 3 shows the device of FIG 1 with a further massage head and
Fig. 4 ein mit Massage- und Borstenbereichen versehenes Teil.Fig. 4 is a part provided with massage and bristle areas.
In Fig. 1 zeigt 1 das gesamte elektrische Gerät. 2 zeigt den Motor, welcher den Massagekopf 3 antreibt. Der Motor kann dem Massagekopf eine drehende- oder eine lineare hin- und hergehende Bewegung erteilen. 4 zeigt wiederaufladbare Akkus. 5 zeigt ein Wasserrohr, durch welches Wasser in den Ma∑sagekopf fließen kann, das bei 6 austritt.In Fig. 1, 1 shows the entire electrical device. 2 shows the motor which drives the massage head 3. The motor can give the massage head a rotating or a linear reciprocating motion. 4 shows rechargeable batteries. 5 shows a water pipe through which water can flow into the massage head, which emerges at 6.
Der Massagekopf 3 ist vorzugsweise auf das Gerät 1 aufsteckbar. 7 zeigt einen Schalter zum Ein- und Ausschalten des Wasserstromes. 8 zeigt einen Schalter zum Einschalten des Motors. 9 zeigt ein Getriebe zwischen dem Motor 2 und dem Massage- kopf 3. 10 zeigt den Anschluß zum Aufladen der Akkus.The massage head 3 can preferably be plugged onto the device 1. 7 shows a switch for switching the water flow on and off. 8 shows a switch for turning on the motor. 9 shows a transmission between the motor 2 and the massage head 3. 10 shows the connection for charging the batteries.
Der Massagekopf besteht aus Gummi oder einem gummiähnlichen Material, vorzugsweise Kunst¬ stoff, und gewährleistet durch seine Form eine intensive Massage des Zahnfleisches. Diese wird dadurch erreicht, daß der Massagekopf 3 vorste¬ hende stachelartige Wülste oder Noppen aufweist.The massage head consists of rubber or a rubber-like material, preferably plastic, and its shape ensures an intensive massage of the gums. This is achieved in that the massage head 3 has protruding spike-like beads or knobs.
Fig. 2 zeigt einen Massagekopf 11, der wellen- artige vorstehende Massageflächen aufweist. Diese verlaufen in Axialrichtung des zylin¬ drischen Massagekopfes.Fig. 2 shows a massage head 11, the wave has like protruding massage surfaces. These run in the axial direction of the cylindrical massage head.
In Fig. 3 sind die Massagebereiche des Massage¬ kopfes 12 mit in Umfangsrichtung verlaufenden wellenförmigen Wülsten versehen.In Fig. 3, the massage areas of the massage head 12 are provided with wavy beads extending in the circumferential direction.
In Fig. 4 ist der Massagekopf 13 in Axialrichtung aufgeteilt. Hierbei besteht der eine Teil 14 aus Gummi oder gummiartigem Material mit in Axial¬ richtung verlaufenden wellenförmigen Wülsten zur Massage des Zahnfleisches und der andere Teil 15 ist als Bürste ausgebildet, die zur Reinigung der Zähne dient. 4, the massage head 13 is divided in the axial direction. Here, one part 14 is made of rubber or rubber-like material with wavy beads in the axial direction for massaging the gums, and the other part 15 is designed as a brush, which is used to clean the teeth.
