Definitions

  • Pedicle-free, chewable dental care devices e.g. can be used instead of toothbrushes for daily tooth cleaning, e.g. known from Dutch specification 78 10061.
  • Such dental care devices do not have a stem, but are taken and chewed as a whole. This has the advantage, among other things, that tooth cleaning can be carried out inconspicuously, regardless of location and parallel to other activities, such as when traveling, at work, etc.
  • the hygienic problem here is that the device is inserted into and removed from the mouth by hand.
  • the device can be full of saliva, particularly when it is removed, so that the manual removal is perceived as annoying by many.
  • a carrier is provided according to the invention with a holding part for manual gripping of the carrier and an associated seat for the dental care device, the holding part being designed so that the dental care device can be removed from its seat without finger contact with the teeth and back there after use can be placed.
  • a dentifrice e.g. in the form of toothpaste, can also be applied to the dental care device in a corresponding manner before use.
  • a dental care wheel with a central opening is preferably used, which forms a receiving space for a dental care product in the form of a soluble body or a chewable capsule.
  • the carrier is provided with a seat which is designed that the body or the capsule can be inserted into the receiving space while the dental care wheel is held and can be inserted into the mouth with the dental care wheel.
  • the carrier can also have a container for a dentifrice in liquid or paste form, from which the dentifrice can be dispensed through openings in the area of the seat for the dental care device.
  • the dental care device shown in each of the exemplary embodiments in side view or in section is a dental care wheel 1 known per se, as is shown, for example, in Dutch patent publication No. 7810061.
  • Plate-shaped flanges are arranged on both sides of a hollow axis, which are provided with knobs on the inside.
  • the whole consists of an elastic plastic, which can be elastically deformed by chewing the teeth.
  • the bike is for use with the axis between the teeth, so that the two flanges lie on the inside and outside of both rows of teeth and move relative to it due to the chewing movement, which results in a cleaning and massage effect.
  • a carrier in the form of a container 2 with a removable cover 3 is provided according to FIGS. 1, 2 and 6.
  • the container 2 has a bottom 4 which, according to FIGS. 1 and 2, has an annular shoulder 5 with a tube piece 6 adjoining it as a seat for the dental care wheel 1.
  • the wheel 1 is supported on the shoulder 5 so that it is otherwise essentially exposed, so that it is surrounded by ambient air.
  • the container wall 7 serves as a handle for grasping the carrier and extends in height only to such an extent that the wheel 1 can be removed with the teeth directly from the carrier and placed on it again.
  • the cover 3 is designed such that it leaves an opening 8 with the wall 7 open which circulates the air even when the container is closed.
  • the cover 3 has a holding mandrel 9 which has a cross-shaped profile and forms 6 air channels with the tube piece which is open at the bottom, which can result in a chewing effect for ventilation of the container. This ensures that the dental care wheel 1 dries after use even when the container is closed.
  • FIG. 6 shows a modification of the carrier which allows the dental care wheel 1 to be provided with a dental care product in the form of a saliva-soluble tablet or a chewable capsule 10 before use.
  • the seat on the container bottom is formed by a number of webs 11, which support and hold the wheel 1 distributed over the circumference.
  • the tablet or capsule 10 can be pressed into the wheel 1 from above, as indicated by the arrow, and adheres to it, so that it remains in it during removal and is inserted into the mouth with the wheel 1. When the wheel is chewed, the dentifrices are released.
  • the carrier for the dental care wheel is designed like a handle.
  • a handle 12 which runs in the axis of the dental care wheel 1 (FIG. 3.5) or angled to it, serves as a holding part for the wearer, which has a seat for the wheel on its front side. This is formed, for example, by cross-shaped strips 14 which allow air to circulate. 5, a cavity is left between the strips 14 for a correspondingly shaped tablet 10 made of dentifrice. The tablet 10 can thus be inserted into the central recess of the wheel 1 and remains stuck with the teeth when it is removed.
  • the carrier designs described serve not only for manipulating the dental care wheel without finger contact, but also for storing it, as already noted with regard to FIGS. 1 and 2.
  • the style-like carrier 12 can be placed in a toothed glass or a perforated plate 15 (FIG. 4) in a manner similar to a toothbrush.
  • the carriers are made in different colors that, for example, the dental care wheels can be easily assigned within a family.
  • FIGS. 1 and 2 can also be provided with a closure cap (not shown).
  • FIGS. 7 to 10 show several designs of carriers which contain several portions of a solid, pasty or liquid dentifrice and which can be dispensed to the dental care wheel 1.
  • a container 17 with tablets can be placed on the dispenser 16 for tablets or capsules shown in FIG. 7.
  • a tablet 10 can be inserted into the recess of the dental care wheel from the inside by means of a spring-loaded piston 18, which seals the container 17 in a liquid-tight manner in its forward rest position. The tablet 10 then adheres to the dental care wheel when it is inserted into the mouth by the wearer.
  • 8 shows a carrier version 25 with a mountable container 18 with a dental care liquid. Using a balloon pump 19, a portion is guided into the mandrel-like seat 24 of the dental care wheel 1 and exits through channels 21 against the wheel. Channels 22 in the wheel axle facilitate the distribution of the liquid.
  • a corresponding 9 shows the embodiment for paste-like dental care products.
  • the carrier 30 is designed as an attachment for a tube 31, from which channels 32 lead into the mandrel-like seat 33 for the dental care wheel 1.
  • the dental care wheel 1 can thus be provided with toothpaste before being removed from the seat 33 in the mouth.
  • the carriers also serve to store the dental care wheel 1 when not in use.
  • the containers 18, 31 with the dentifrice are closed by valves or the wheel 1 itself, so that the paste etc. is prevented from drying out.
  • the holding part is partly formed by the containers 18, 31.
  • the carrier according to the invention in its various configurations permits the hygienic use and storage of the explained, pedicle-free dental care device with or without dental care products. This means that pedicle-free dental care devices can fully replace conventional toothbrushes.
