Gemäss Fig. 1 und 2 weist eine Handzahnbürste 1, deren
Längsachse in Fig. 1 mit L bezeichnet ist, einen vorderen
borstentragenden Kopfteil 2 und einen hinteren Handgriff 3
auf. Vom Kopfteil 2 ist in Fig. 1 und 2 lediglich ein
Borstenträger 4 ersichtlich, der mit einer Anzahl von
Vertiefungen 5 versehen ist, die zur an sich bekannten
Verankerung von Borstenbüscheln vorgesehen sind.1 and 2 has a manual toothbrush 1, the
Longitudinal axis in Fig. 1 is designated L, a front
bristle-bearing
Der Handgriff 3 ist über mindestens einen Teil seiner
Länge in zwei sich in Längsrichtung der Zahnbürste
erstreckende Teile 6, 7 unterteilt. Der untere Teil 6 des
Handgriffes 3 ist gegebenenfalls mit dem Kopfteil 2
verbunden bzw. einstückig mit dem Borstenträger 4
ausgebildet. Den zweiten Teil des Handgriffes 3 bildet ein
oberer Deckelteil 7. Allerdings könnte statt des unteren
Teiles 6 auch der obere Handgriff-Teil 7 einstückig mit
dem Borstenträger ausgestaltet sein.The
Der obere Deckelteil 7 ist vorzugsweise mit einer eine
Daumenauflage bildenden Vertiefung 9 versehen. Die beiden
in Fig. 3 einzeln dargestellten Handgriff-Teile 6, 7
werden miteinander verbunden, vorzugssweise verschweisst,
wobei die beiden Teile 6, 7 einen sich in Längsrichtung
der Zahnbürste 1 erstreckenden Hohlraum 8 umschliessen
(vgl. Fig. 4, 5 und 6). Zu diesem Zweck weist mindestens
einer der beiden Teile 6, 7 einen schalenförmigen
Querschnitt auf.The
In Fig. 1 bis 6 ist eine mögliche, ästhetisch wirkende
Ausgestaltung des Handgriffes 3 dargestellt, bei welcher
sich der Hohlraum 8 praktisch über die ganze
Handgrifflänge erstreckt. Eine andere Form wäre jedoch
durchaus möglich.1 to 6 is a possible, aesthetically pleasing
Shown embodiment of the
Der erfindungsgemässe, über mindestens einen Teil seiner
Länge in zwei einen Hohlraum 8 umschliessende Teile 6, 7
unterteilte Handgriff 3 kann relativ breit ausgestaltet
werden, was eine bessere Griffigkeit mit sich bringt, ohne
dass die Zahnbürste zu massiv wird. Die Griffigkeit kann
zusätzlich durch die Wahl eines geeigneten Materials für
die beiden Teile 6, 7 verbessert werden. Der untere Teil 6
und der Deckelteil 7 können auch aus verschiedenen
Materialien hergestellt werden. Beispielswese kann der
untere Teil 6 aus einem härteren Material sein als der
Deckelteil 7. Zur besseren Handhabung kann der Deckelteil
7 oder der untere Teil 6 ganz oder teilweise aus einem
elastisch nachgiebigen Material angefertigt sein. In
diesem Fall ist es auch möglich, den Hohlraum 8 mit einem
elastischen Material zu füllen.The invention, over at least part of it
Length in two
Eine weitere Möglichkeit besteht darin, die beiden
Handgriff-Teile 6, 7 aus einem sich optisch
unterscheidenden Material herzustellen (beispielsweise
verschiedene Farben beider Teile, wobei es sich um das
gleiche Material oder um unterschiedliche Materialien
handeln kann). Ein oder beide Teile können auch teilweise
oder ganz transparent oder transluszent sein.Another option is to use the two
Wird mindestens einer der beiden Handgriff-Teile 6, 7 aus
einem transparentem Material angefertigt, so kann der
Hohlraum 8 mit Verzierungs- oder Spielgegenständen wie
z.B. Schneeflocken oder Figuren gefüllt werden. Der
Hohlraum 8 kann aber auch mit einer Flüssigkeit gefüllt
werden, die beispielsweise auch Schwebegegenstände
beinhalten kann (selbstverständlich ist dann eine
Abdichtung des Hohlraumes 8 unerlässlich, die in einer
weiter unten beschriebenen Weise erfolgt).Will at least one of the two
Der Hohlraum 8 kann auch mit einem Gas gefüllt werden.The
Es ist auch möglich, den Deckelteil 7 transparent
auszubilden und die von oben sichtbare Fläche des unteren
Teiles 6 mit einer Abbildung oder einer Beschriftung zu
versehen, z.B. zu bedrucken.It is also possible to make the
Zwecks Gewichtserhöhung des Handgriffes 3 kann der
Hohlraum 8 auch eine Metallfüllung beinhalten.In order to increase the weight of the
Der Deckelteil 7, aber auch der untere Teil 6, können mit
Vorteil aus einem Mehrkomponenten-Material beispielsweise
im Spritzgussverfahren hergestellt werden. Diese Lösung
bietet nicht nur dekorative Möglichkeiten zur Verbesserung
der ästhetischen Wirkung, sondern ermöglicht auch
Optimierung der für eine bessere Griffigkeit wichtigen
Elastizitätseigenschaften. The
In Fig. 7 bis 10 ist ein weiteres Ausführungsbeispiel
einer Handzahnbürste 1' dargestellt, deren Handgriff 3
wiederum einen unteren Teil 6 sowie einen oberen
Deckelteil 7 umfasst. Bei dieser Variante ist die für die
Daumenauflage vorgesehene Vertiefung 9 vorzugsweise mit
einem weichen thermoplastischen Elastomer gefüllt.
Gleichzeitig ist in diesem Bereich der obere Deckelteil 7
mit einem oder mehreren, gegebenenfalls mit sechs nach
unten gerichteten Nocken 11 ausgestattet, die beim
Zusammenfügen der beiden Handgriff-Teile 6, 7 in
entsprechende Öffnungen 12 des unteren Teiles 6
hineingedrückt werden, diesen in der Endstellung nach Fig.
8 dichtend hindurchragen und auf der unteren Aussenseite
leicht vorstehen. Die vorzugsweise aus gummiartigem,
weichen Elastomer bestehenden Nocken 11 dienen zusammen
mit der weichen Daumenauflage zur Verbesserung der
Griffigkeit.7 to 10 is another embodiment
a manual toothbrush 1 'shown, the
Statt mehrerer Nocken 11 an einem der beiden Handgriff-Teile
7 bzw. 6 und mehrerer Öffnungen 12 im anderen Teil 6
bzw. 7 könnte beispielsweise im Bereich der Daumenauflage
an einem Teil 7 bzw. 6 ein einziger Nocken bzw. Zapfen
angebracht sein, dessen Querschnitt z.B. die Tropfenform
der Vertiefung 9 nach Fig. 7 aufweist, und der in ein Loch
gleichen Querschnitts im anderen Teil 7 bzw. 6 hineinragt
und sich bis zur Aussenseite desselben erstreckt.Instead of
Es kann aber auch mindestens einer der beiden Handgriff-Teile
6, 7 mit einem in den Hohlraum 8 mündenden Loch
(beispielsweise des tropfenförmigen Querschnitts in der
Form der Vertiefung 9 nach Fig. 7) ausgestattet sein, das
durch eine Membrane aus gummiähnlichem Material
vorzugsweise dichtend abgeschlossen ist. In diesem Fall
kann der Handgriff in der in Fig. 2 mit B bezeichneten
Ebene beispielsweise die in Fig. 11 dargestellte
Querschnittsform aufweisen. Bei diesem Ausführungsbeispiel
ist im oberen Deckelteil 7 ein Loch 10 vorhanden, und der
Hohlraum 8 ist von einer Membrane 13 abgeschlossen, die -
ähnlich wie die vorstehend beschriebenen Nocken bzw.
Zapfen - zur angenehmen Handhabung beiträgt. Die Membrane
13 bewirkt ausserdem eine verbesserte Elastizität. Das
Material der Membrane und deren Dimension beeinflusst
dabei massgebend die Flexibilität des Handgriffes.But it can also be at least one of the two
Wie aus Fig. 7 bis 9 ersichtlich kann die Elastizität des
oberen Deckelteiles 7 dadurch verbessert werden, dass in
diesem Teil 7 eine quer zur Längsachse L verlaufende
keilartige Ausnehmung 14 ausgebildet und mit einem
gummiähnlichem Material, beispielsweise einem
thermoplastischen Elastomer, gefüllt wird, wodurch eine
Art Gelenk entsteht (in Fig. 7 bis 9 mit 15 bezeichnet).As can be seen from FIGS. 7 to 9, the elasticity of the
Wie bereits erwähnt, werden die beiden Handgriffteile 6, 7
an den Berührungslinien vorzugsweise miteinander
verschweisst, wobei der Hohlraum 8 an den Schweisslinien
abgedichtet wird. Die beim Schweissvorgang durch
Überlappung entstehende aussen liegende Kante kann mit
einer Haut aus Gummi überdeckt werden, was nicht nur
zusätzliche Abdichtung mit sich bringt, sondern auch eine
hygienische Verbesserung bedeutet, da sich an den
Schweisslinien keine Unreinheiten ansammeln können. Die
beiden Handgriff-Teile 6, 7 können aber auch in der Art
einer vorzugsweise von Hand unlösbaren Schnappverbindung
zusammengefügt werden, wobei die Schnappverbindung
ebenfalls dichtend wirkt. So kann beispielsweise der obere
Deckelteil 7 mit einer Dichtkante 17 aus thermoplastischem
Elastomer ausgestattet sein, wie in Fig. 8 und 9
dargestellt. Die Verbindung der beiden Handgriff-Teile 6,
7 kann aber auch durch Kleben erfolgen.As already mentioned, the two
Eine Variante, bei der der Hohlraum 8 durch Verschweissen
an allen Stellen zuverlässig abgedichtet werden kann, auch
wenn an einem der beiden Handgriff-Teile 6, 7 die den
Hohlraum 8 und den anderen Handgriff-Teil 7, 6
hindurchragenden Nocken 11 oder Zapfen aus weichem
Material, beispielsweise einem elastisch nachgiebigen
thermoplastischen Elastomer angebracht sind, wird in Fig.
12 bis 15 gezeigt.A variant in which the
Bei diser Variante ist der obere Deckelteil 7 in seinem
hinteren Bereich mit einem nach unten gerichteten, sich in
Längsrichtung des Handgriffes 3 erstreckenden,
hülsenförmigen Vorsprung 20 versehen, der eine Aussenwand
21 und eine Innenwand 22 aufweist und im Querschnitt
ovalförmig ausgebildet ist. Die Innenwand 22 umschliesst
einen den Deckelteil 7 rechtwinklig zu seiner Längsachse
hindurchragenden Innenraum, der mit dem elastisch
nachgiebigen, ein Griffkissen 24 bildenden Material
gefüllt ist. Der mit dem Vorsprung 20 versehene Deckelteil
7 und das Griffkissen 24 werden beispielsweise im
Mehrkomponenten-Spritzgiessverfahren hergestellt. Das
Griffkissen 24 weist eine obere Griffläche 25 und eine
untere Griffläche 26 auf.In this variant, the
Der untere Teil 6 ist mit einer Öffnung 27 versehen, die
in ihrem Querschnitt der Aussenform bzw. der Aussenwand 21
des Vorsprungs 20 entspricht. The
Beim Zusammenschweisen der beiden Handgriffteile 6, 7 wird
auch der in die Öffnung 27 eingeführte, mit dem
Griffkissen 24 aus weicherem Material gefüllte Vorsprung
20 mit dem unteren Teil 6 verschweisst, wodurch der
Hohlraum 8 auch an dieser Stelle abgedichtet wird.When welding the two
Wie aus Fig. 13 ersichtlich sind die beiden Grifflächen
25, 26 der Aussenform des Handgriffes 3 ästhetisch
angepasst.As can be seen from Fig. 13, the two
Ähnlich wie das Griffkissen 24 können auch die aus Fig. 8
und 9 bereits bekannten Nocken 11 aus weichem Material in
entsprechenden hülsenförmigen Vorsprüngen 30 (vgl. Fig.
14) des einen Handgriff-Teils 7 untergebracht werden, die
in zugeordnete Öffnungen 12 des anderen Handgriff-Teils 6
eingesetzt und mit diesem verschweisst werden, wodurch
auch hier die Abdichtung des Hohlraumes 8 gewährleistet
ist.Similar to the
Die erfindungsgemässe Zahnbürste ist in der Herstellung
einfach und kostengünstig. Die hohle Form des Handgriffes
3 bedeutet Materialersparnis. Der obere Deckelteil 7
und /oder der untere Teil 6 können im Ein-, Zwei- oder
Mehrkomponentenverfahren gespritzt werden. Da es sich bei
den beiden Handgriff-Teilen 6, 7 um dünnwandige Teile
handelt, kann bei der Herstellung im Spritzgussverfahren
die Zeit für den Spritzgiessprozess herabgesetzt werden.The toothbrush according to the invention is in production
simple and inexpensive. The hollow shape of the
Der erfindungsgemässe Handgriff kann selbstverständlich auch bei anderen Zahnbürstentypen Verwendung finden, als in der Zeichnung dargestellt, z.B. bei Zahnbürsten, deren Kopfteil mit einem oder zwei auswechselbaren Bürstenköpfen ausgestattet ist.The handle according to the invention can of course can also be used with other toothbrush types, as shown in the drawing, e.g. for toothbrushes whose Headboard with one or two interchangeable brush heads Is provided.
