Definitions

  • the invention relates to a toothbrush comprising improved means for fixing the friction elements.
  • the invention relates more particularly to a toothbrush of the type in which a brush head is provided with flexible friction elements of general shape elongated such as for example brushing filaments, which have a lower anchoring foot by which they are fixed on a main body of the head.
  • the friction elements can for example be grouped by bouquets or tufts, folded in half and blocked in receptacles arranged in the upper face of the main body using metal or material inserts plastic.
  • This reliable technique is however relatively complex to implement. She is getting worse suitable for friction elements which have a diameter relatively large, such as for example massage the gums, making it difficult to fold in of them.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to propose a new design of the attachment of friction elements to the body main of the head which allows an easy implementation and materials and while ensuring good performance of the fixation over time.
  • the invention provides a toothbrush of type described above, characterized in that the foot anchoring at least part of the friction elements is received in an anchor hole through the main body of so that the upper and lower ends of the foot anchors are arranged respectively above and in underside of upper and lower faces of the main body, in that the upper end of an anchoring foot is connected at its lower end by a material bridge which extends outside the anchor hole, and in that, at the lower and upper ends of the anchor foot, the bridge of material is supported against the undersides and main body to secure the the friction element on the head.
  • the head 10 of a brush is shown in the figures with teeth which is arranged at a longitudinal end before 12 of a handle 14 of the brush.
  • the head 10 comprises a main body 16, for example made of a thermoplastic material such as a polyamide.
  • the main body 16 has substantially a plate shape extending in a longitudinal plane and carrying a bouquet of parallel filaments 18 which extend perpendicular to the main body plan.
  • These filaments can be by example made of a thermoplastic material of the type polyamide or polyethylene but they can also be made of natural bristles.
  • the filaments 18 all have the same height, i.e. they extend all the same distance above the upper face of the main body 16.
  • Main body 16 has edges lateral lateral 30 whose outline can be substantially assimilated to that of a racket, and it has two sides upper and lower substantially parallel.
  • the body main 16 here having a relatively elongated shape, the side edges 30 of head 10 have only a curvature relatively small, except of course at their front end, which is substantially in the shape of an arc of a circle
  • the filaments 18 are grouped substantially at the center of the face upper part of the head, the edges thereof being occupied by rods 20 of elastomeric material which extend parallel to the filaments 18.
  • the rods 20, evenly distributed along the side edges of the face upper part of main body 16, for example are produced in the form of cylinders of substantially understood diameter between 1 and 2.5 mm and they have an upper end rounded in the shape of a spherical cap.
  • the rods 20 are of preferably made of elastomeric silicone but we can also make them from a vulcanized rubber material or using of a thermoplastic elastomeric material.
  • the stems 20 therefore form, on each side of the bouquet central filaments 18, two longitudinal rows arranged closest to the corresponding edge of the head 10.
  • the end front of the head 10 also carries rods 20.
  • the filaments 18 and the rods 20 form elements of soft friction which are intended to come respectively to the contact of teeth and gums.
  • the rods 20 do not all have the same height and, in particular, they have a variable height relative to at the height of the adjacent filaments 18.
  • the head 10 comprises, in each of the two rows which longitudinally frame the filaments 18, three rods 20a whose height is significantly greater than that adjacent filaments 18.
  • the rods 20a which are the highest are arranged longitudinally at the center of each row and their height does not exceed that filaments over 25%.
  • this group of three rods 20a is framed on each side of rods 20b whose height is between that of the filaments 18 and that of the rods of greatest height 20a.
  • the rods 20b are themselves surrounded by rods 20c whose height is substantially equal to that of the filaments 18.
  • the assembly formed by the rods 20a, 20b, 20c is itself framed by 20d rods whose height is lower than that of adjacent filaments 18.
  • the upper ends of rods 20 arranged on the same side longitudinal of the head 10 are arranged on a curve substantially symmetrical with the curvature turned towards the low.
  • the toothbrush illustrated in the figures has a 20th rod arranged at the front end of the head 10, in the longitudinal plane of symmetry of the brush, and of which the length is less than that of the rods 20d.
  • the length of the 20 most bass will preferably be more than 10% lower than that adjacent filaments 18.
  • the total number of rods 20 can be lower or higher than that of the exemplary embodiment illustrated in the figures and, similarly, the curve joining the vertices of the ends of the stems may have a curvature more or less important, this curve being however at above the upper end of the filaments 18 in the center of the head and below at the longitudinal ends of the head.
  • the tallest rods 20a, 20b are are arranged on either side of the teeth and do not therefore do not disturb the action of the filaments 18 which can thus clean the surface of the teeth and get inside the inter-dental interstices.
  • the rods 20 comprise an anchoring foot 22 which extends to the interior of a cylindrical anchor hole 24 passing through the main body 16.
  • Each anchoring hole 24 opens at the same time into the upper and lower sides of the main body so that the lower end of the anchor foot 22 of the rod extends below the underside 26 of the main body 16.
  • the lower end of the anchoring foot 22 which protrudes below the lower face 26 has a section greater than that of the anchor hole 24 so as to prevent any withdrawal of the rod 20 upwards.
  • the rods 20 are produced by molding and it is provided that, integrally with each rod 20, a bridge of material 28 joins the lower and upper ends of the anchor foot 22 of rod 20 bypassing from the outside the external lateral edge 30 of the main body 16.
  • the material bridge 28 is in support, at its junctions with the ends of the anchoring foot 22, against the upper and lower faces of the main body 16. Thus, forming an integral part of the rod 20, the material bridge ensures perfect fixation of the rod 20 in its hole anchor 24.
  • all of the rods 20 are made simultaneously by molding and they are produced from material in one piece, interconnected by their bridges 28 respectively.
  • All of the connecting bridges 28 then form a continuous bead 32 of elastomeric material which surrounds completely the outer lateral edge 30 of the main body 16 and which aims to absorb shocks between the main body 16 and either the teeth or the gum.
  • the bead 32 thus formed extends into intaglio prints formed in the upper and lower faces as well as in the edges side 30 of main body 16 so that the outer surface of the bead 32 either in alignment with the outer faces of main body 16 and handle 14.
  • This new conception of the fixing of an element of friction is therefore particularly advantageous in terms of cost of implementation and reliability. It allows more realize, without significant additional cost, a coating of the edges 30 of the head with flexible material.
  • the invention has been described above for fixing relatively large diameter elastomer rods. However, it is also likely to be implemented for fixing all types of friction elements on the head a toothbrush.
