Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Behälter zur Aufnahme eines fluiden, gelartigen oder pastösen Mediums nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a container for holding a fluid, gel-like or pasty medium according to the preamble of claim 1.

Derartige Behälter sind bekannt zur Aufnahme von Wimperntusche, in die ein Mascara-Bürstchen eingesetzt wird, wie beispielsweise in DE 80 26 372 beschrieben.Such containers are known for holding mascara in the one Mascara brush is used, as described for example in DE 80 26 372.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, den Einsatzbereich derartiger Behälter zu erweitern. The object of the present invention is the field of use of such containers to expand.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch die Merkmale des kennzeichnenden Teils des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.This task is characterized by the characteristics of the characteristic part of the Claim 1 solved.

Hierdurch wird ein Behälter der genannten Art geschaffen, der zur Reinigung von Zahnzwischenräumen ein mit einem Mundhygienemittel getränktes Interdentalbürstohen zur Verfügung stellt, das im Gegensatz zu einem bisher üblichen Zahnstocher oder einer Zahnseide wiederholt einsetzbar ist, da eine Aufbewahrung in dem Behälter oder zumindest ein kurzweiliges Einsetzen in den Behälter das Interdentalbürstchen für einen erneuten Einsatz vorbereitet. Ferner wird über das Interdentalbürstchen Mundhygienemittel aus dem Behälter mitgeführt und in die zu reinigenden Zahnzwischenräume eingebracht. Ein solcher kombinierter Effekt aus mechanischem und chemischem Reinigen war bisher nicht erzielbar.This creates a container of the type mentioned, which for cleaning Interdental brush an interdental brush soaked with an oral hygiene agent provides, in contrast to a previously common Toothpicks or a dental floss can be used repeatedly because of a storage in the container or at least a short insertion in the Container the interdental brush is prepared for a new use. Further Oral hygiene agent is removed from the container using the interdental brush carried and introduced into the interdental spaces to be cleaned. Such a The combined effect of mechanical and chemical cleaning has not yet been used achievable.

Weiterhin vorteilhaft ist, daß der Behälter unauffällig in einer Tasche getragen werden kann und dadurch immer zur Hand ist, beispielsweise nach dem Essen, auf Reisen usw.It is also advantageous that the container is inconspicuously carried in a pocket can always be at hand, for example after a meal, when traveling, etc.

Der Behälter kann auch in eine Zahnbürste integriert werden, wozu der Zahnbürstengriff als Hohlgriff ausführbar ist zur Ausbildung eines Behälters, der an einem einem Zahnbürstenkopf abgewandten Ende den Behälterkopf aufweist, der das Interdentalbürstchen trägt.The container can also be integrated into a toothbrush, which is why Toothbrush handle can be designed as a hollow handle to form a container that has the container head at an end facing away from a toothbrush head, who carries the interdental brush.

Weitere Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind der nachfolgenden Beschreibung und den Unteransprüchen zu entnehmen.Further embodiments of the invention are the following description and can be found in the subclaims.

Die Erfindung wird nachstehend anhand des in der beigefügten Abbildung dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiels näher erläutert.

  • Fig. 1 zeigt schematisch eine Seitenansicht eines an einer Zahnbürste ausgebildeten Behälters gemäß der Erfindung,
    • The invention is explained below with reference to the embodiment shown in the accompanying figure.
  • 1 schematically shows a side view of a container formed on a toothbrush according to the invention,

    • Die Erfindung betrifft einen Behälter 1, in dem ein Behälterraum 2 ausgebildet ist, der zur Aufnahme eines fluiden, gelartigen oder pastösen Mediums vorgesehen ist. Zur Befüllung des Behälterraums 2 weist dieser eine Entnahmeöffnung 3 auf, die verschließbar ist mittels eines zapfenartig in den Behälterraum 2 sich verjüngenden Verschlußstopfens 4. Der Verschlußstopfen 4 besitzt einen Durchgang 5 zum Einführen eines Dentalbürstohens 6 mit einem Stil 7 und einem Bürstenkopf 8 in den Behälter 1, wodurch das Dentalbürstchen 6 in das Medium des Behälterraums 2 eingetaucht wird. An einem dem Bürstenkopf 8 gegenüberliegenden Ende ist der Stil 7 an einem Behälterkopf 9 befestigt, der auf die Entnahmeöffnung 3 aufsetzbar ist, so daß der Behälterraum 2 luftdicht verschließbar ist, damit das in den Behälterraum 2 eingefüllte Medium nicht austrocknet.The invention relates to a container 1, in which a container space 2 is formed, which is intended to hold a fluid, gel-like or pasty medium is. To fill the container space 2, it has a removal opening 3, which can be locked into the container space 2 by means of a pin tapered plug 4. The plug 4 has a passage 5 for inserting a dental brush 6 with a style 7 and a Brush head 8 in the container 1, whereby the dental brush 6 in the medium of the container space 2 is immersed. On a brush head 8 opposite End of the style 7 is attached to a container head 9, which on the Removal opening 3 can be placed so that the container space 2 can be closed airtight is so that the medium filled into the container space 2 is not dries up.

    Durch ein Abnehmen des Behälterkopfes 9 von dem Behälter 2 wird das Interdentalbürstchen 6 aus dem Behälter 1 herausgezogen, wobei der Bürstenkopf 8 sich an dem Verschlußstopfen 4 abstreift, um nur eine geringe Menge an Medium aus dem Behälterraum 2 auszutragen.By removing the container head 9 from the container 2, the interdental brush 6 pulled out of the container 1, the brush head 8 wipes itself off on the sealing plug 4 to remove only a small amount of medium to be discharged from the container space 2.

    Das durch ein Eintauchen in das Medium in dem Behälterraum 2 und Abstreifen an dem Verschlußstopfen 4 mit einer noch hinreichenden Menge an Medium benetzte Interdentalbürstchen 6 kann zur Reinigung von Zahnzwischenräumen verwendet werden. Nach einem Gebrauch wird das Interdentalbürstchen 6 gegebenenfalls nach einem Ausspülen über den Verschlußstopfen 4 wieder in den Behälter 2 eingeführt, wobei der Durchmesser des Durchgangs 5 vorzugsweise so bemessen ist, daß der Stil 7 des Interdentalbürstchens 6 den Durchgang 5 verschließt. Dabei wird das Interdentalbürstchen 6 durch den am Stil 7 sitzenden Behälterkopf 9 geführt. Es kann jedoch vorgesehen sein, daß der Stil 7 lösbar in dem Behälterkopf 9 sitzt, um beim Gebrauch des Interdentalbürstchens 6 nicht gegebenenfalls durch den Behälterkopf 9 behindert zu sein. This by immersing in the medium in the container space 2 and stripping on the plug 4 with a still sufficient amount of medium wetted interdental brushes 6 can be used to clean interdental spaces be used. After use, the interdental brush 6 may become after rinsing through the plug 4 back into the Container 2 inserted, the diameter of the passage 5 preferably so is dimensioned that the style 7 of the interdental brush 6 closes the passage 5. Here, the interdental brush 6 by the person sitting on style 7 Container head 9 out. However, it can be provided that the style 7 is detachable in the container head 9 does not sit around when using the interdental brush 6 if necessary to be hindered by the container head 9.

    Zur längerfristigen Verwahrung des Interdentalbürstchens 6 in dem Behälterraum 2 kann der Behälterkopf 9 an dem Behälter 2 gasdicht aufsetzbar sein, beispielsweise durch einen Schraubverschluß oder einen Schnappverschluß.For long-term storage of the interdental brush 6 in the container space 2, the container head 9 can be placed gas-tight on the container 2, for example by a screw cap or a snap lock.

    Das fluide, gelartige oder pastöse Medium wird von einem atemerfrischenden Medium zur Mundhygiene gebildet, das vorzugsweise auch zur Abtötung von Bakterien geeignet ist. Beliebige Aromen sind wählbar.The fluid, gel-like or pasty medium is breath-freshening Oral hygiene medium is formed, which is also preferably used to kill bacteria suitable is.
