The for sensitive people through the toothbrush in the area of Feeling of foreign bodies can be avoided will.
  • the finger toothbrush is especially suitable for gentle Tooth cleaning and gum massage, especially after paradentosis treatments.
  • Such a finger toothbrush is e.g. from DE 32 32 313 A1 known.
  • the dental finger described therein consists of essentially from a rubber-like finger covering with a Action area of certain shape and size, optionally with Bristles or rubber nubs is occupied and medicinal Allows loading.
  • the field of action extends from the fingertip starting from the nail link and middle link on the inside of the finger and covers the entire width of the Inside of the finger in this region and still pulls about 5 mm along the side surfaces.
  • the field of action can be 7 up to 9 mm long bristles or with 1 to 2 mm high rubber knobs or 4 to 5 mm high rubber cups. You can Teeth and gums with this thick dental finger be treated gently.
  • a finger toothbrush is known from DE 90 16 366 U1 essentially from a finger hood that can be placed on a finger is attached to the tooth cleaning bristles are.
  • the finger hood can be a full cap or a half-cap, the latter by holding means such as full Rings or open rings on which fingers are held.
  • the finger hood can be used as a backup Cord be attached, the length of which is such that it can be taken by the hand to make an unwanted one To prevent the finger toothbrush from sliding and swallowing. It is interesting that this well-known finger hood is not extends beyond the first bend of the finger and with natural or Plastic bristles is equipped. This well-known finger toothbrush has the disadvantages shown at the beginning, wherein adequate security through the cord only in very is inadequate. A security against rotation is not given by the cord.
  • a finger toothbrush which has a cap part with stiff bristles on the inside. At least one is relatively articulated on this cap part partially rigid, tongue-shaped inner support section arranged, which is also equipped with bristles. In its extension, in turn, is a narrower, longer one Web portion provided, at the outer end of a finger-gripping Ring or ring section is arranged.
  • This Known toothbrush also has the disadvantages of the cumbersome Handling on and also the requirement that a relatively precise sizing with regard to the finger of the User must be present, especially on thickness and length of the finger, since there is insufficient passport security optimal use is not possible.
  • a tooth cleaning device is described in DE, C, 510 572, which consists of a finger cot that holds the finger in its covered over its entire length and prick-like on its action side Has protrusions.
  • the finger cot points to his upper one insertion side a bead against tearing and on its lower side, which runs along the inside of the fingers a holding flap formed from the same finger cot material on that in a large, laterally protruding rag ends, which practically covers the entire palm of the hand covered. Due to the great length of the finger cot its application and stripping very difficult and also the Finger mobility is severely restricted.
  • the holding rag is extremely soft, so that it e.g. not to hold a similar but significantly shorter finger cot is.
  • US-A-2,075,681 is a tooth cleaning and massage device described in which a relatively long finger cot on his Action page is provided with nubs, in this part a chamber with openings to the outside for receiving and dispensing a tooth cleaning agent is provided. On the finger cot a holding strip is provided, which along the index finger up between thumb and forefinger, to be held by the Thumb, is led. Can cap part and holding strip be formed in one piece or in two pieces, the holding strip is brought up to the fingertip and at the same time represents the active part of the finger toothbrush.
  • FR, A, 711.954 (to be regarded as the closest prior art) describes a finger toothbrush which has a finger-like, elastic cap part with an oblique insertion opening, with a differently designed action area.
  • On the cap part there is an at least partially flexible holding handle which is guided along the inside of the finger and has a plurality of thickenings in the longitudinal direction which are intended to hold or slip.
  • a reinforcement is also provided along the insertion slope of the cap part, which is welded on, sewn on or otherwise attached to the soft finger cot so that it is also firmly connected to the holding handle.
  • the cap part is relatively long, so that it is pulled far over the third phalange in the applied state.
  • the holding handle is relatively long, extending far beyond the palm of the hand, whereby a bulky length is obtained. Due to the multiple thickening of the handle, its elasticity is very limited. A uniform adaptation to the course of the finger, which is strongly curved in action, into the palm of the hand cannot take place, since application only takes place in the upper thickening zones and the flexibility could only take place in the constriction zones between the thickenings.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a finger toothbrush of the type mentioned above, which enables simple and safe handling with action movements only over the finger carrying the finger cot, in particular ensures simple and safe putting on and taking off and a twist and slip-proof use.
  • the finger toothbrush according to the invention consists of a finger-like cap part that at least on its Inside an action area with essentially bristle-like Carries cleaning elements.
