Definitions
- the invention relates to a brush, in particular a toothbrush, according to the preamble of claim 1.
- toothbrushes are explained, but it is in a similar This also applies to other bristled cleaning and Applicators, especially for dish brushes, Scrubbing brushes, washing brushes, toilet brushes, brooms, brushes, Applicator brushes for cream, powder, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, Spices or color or also for tillage brushes can be used, these applications according to the invention should be expressly included.
- a manual toothbrush of conventional design has a plastic, elongated brush body, the rear section as Handle serves and the one at its front head end Bristle field with a variety of bristles, the Brush bodies are set.
- Essentially similar structure also has an electrically driven Toothbrush, but here the brush body is divided is in a basic part that receives the drive motor and serves as a handle, and an attachment that attaches to his front head carries the bristle field and has a gear, with which the movement of an output shaft of the drive motor in a swinging or spinning back and forth Movement of the bristle field can be implemented.
- interchangeable toothbrushes have been developed in which the bristle field on a replaceable bristle carrier in particular in the form of a stable plastic plate that sits in a trough in the head of the Brush body is engaged. Since the dimensions of the Head of the toothbrush from handling and application technology Reasons are limited, the edge of the reduced Trough the size of the bristle field. While this limitation is still acceptable with manual toothbrushes them with electric toothbrushes, where the bristle field due to its construction, it is already smaller than with manual ones Toothbrushes is made with a very small bristle field correspondingly deteriorated cleaning performance of the toothbrush.
- the bristles are usually firmly held in the bristle holder, which is associated with the disadvantage is that the bristles in the axial direction during cleaning not at all and only in the transverse direction because of their Dodge intrinsic flexibility.
- the bristles When applying high cleaning forces become bristles essentially without cushioning on the teeth and gums transmitted, which can lead to injuries.
- Attempts have been made to resiliently bunch the bristles
- the necessary constructions are very complex and require very expensive Production method.
- US-A-5 345 646 shows a brush with a cap-like bristle holder made of a soft, elastic plastic with the brush body via a between the bristle holder and the brush body arranged coupling part is connected.
- US-A-1 770 195 and US-A-3 007 441 each show a brush made up of a cap-like bristle holder a soft elastic plastic and a brush body consists.
- the invention has for its object a brush to create the type mentioned, with a resilient bearing of the bristle holder relative to the brush body in constructive is easily achieved.
- the bristle carrier carrying the bristle field is as a flexible cap, for example made of an elastomer Plastic made in the manner of a lid-like Cover on a projection, especially on the head of the brush body can be wound so that it has the projection encompasses and covers and as a result of tension forces, which in particular from the elastic deformation of the cap result on the tab is held securely, however can preferably be removed from this if necessary.
- the clamping or holding forces of the cap-like bristle carrier are determined by its deformability, the derive from its geometric design, its wall thickness and the elastic properties of its material result.
- the cap-like bristle carrier according to the invention over the Projection and in particular the head of the brush holder and is not used in these, the results essential advantage that the surface of the bristle carrier larger than the surface of the protrusion overlapped by him is, so that a relatively large bristle field is formed can be.
- the soft elastic and therefore very flexible plastic of the cap-like bristle holder is light in all directions deformable so that the bristles when cleaning workers are applied both in their axial direction and vertically can dodge springy.
- the cap-like covering the projection of the brush body Bristle holder serves because of its soft elastic Material at the same time as mucous membrane protection and brings the Another advantage is that the height of the brush can be kept low.
- the brush according to the invention it is provided that below and / or within the cap-like bristle carrier at least one cavity is formed.
- This cavity can on the one hand cause the bristle-bearing cover is resilient, the resilience is determined by the shape of the cavity and by means of a damping fluid to be filled into the cavity in the desired Way can be set.
- the cavity can also be used to hold a Brush to be applied medium.
- Medium can be liquid or powdered cosmetics, deal with dentifrices etc.
- the feeding and application of the medium for example, through breakthroughs in the flexible, cap-like bristle carrier, through hollow Bristles or bundles of bristles or by capillary action of bristle bundles.
- a simple configuration of the cavity can be achieved if the cap-like bristle carrier so on the projection is placed that between the underside of the cover of the bristle carrier and the top of the projection there is a space forming the cavity, so that the cavity from the bristle holder and the brush body is limited.
- the cavity by means of a partition in each other is divided into separate chambers, in which preferably Media with different properties added are, if necessary, only when they leave be mixed in the respective chamber and with each other react.
- a can also be in the cavity Means can be arranged, that with an externally supplied Toothpaste or cleansing cream reacts and this way a means optimized for the intended purpose forms.
- the amount of escaping from the cavity or chambers Medium depends on the deformation of the cavity and in particular the cover part delimiting this.
- a foam insert can also be in the cavity or the chambers be arranged, either as a separate, prefabricated part inserted or during production the cap-like bristle carrier in a multi-component injection molding process injected or through molded foam is introduced.
- the foam insert serves on the one hand as an attenuator for the deformation of the bristle-bearing Cover part, in addition, the insert can also be soaked in a medium to be applied.
- a hydrophilic foam can be liquid or gaseous Media in the cavity in a foam-bonded Stored way. So enriched Foams can be handled and easily in particular, be interchangeable.
- a storage space connected to it can form the cavity be assigned which contains a medium to be applied, released through a passage to the cavity is throttled in which a foam or sponge insert and evenly dosed delivery of the medium to the Bristle field is arranged.
- the bristle carrier has an upper, preferably membrane-like Has cover that with on its top Bristles is provided and on its facing away from the bristles Bottom one preferably continuously and completely all-round, flexible, protruding edge or web carries, which is mounted on the cover part or in one piece with this is trained.
- the height of the web can vary over the circumference be constant or vary.
- the bristles are at least in some areas on the top the cover part arranged, this preferably is bristled all over. Additionally or alternatively the bristles can also at least in parts of the outside of the exciting from the outside against the lead Be arranged web.
- the cover part of the cap-like bristle carrier run substantially flat.
- a spatially structured one Takes configuration.
- this can achieved that the top of the projection of the brush body is superficially structured and flexible Cover part of the bristle holder on the structured Top of the projection is placed on the Structuring is pending and this follows.
- the cover part itself superficially what either during the manufacturing process, for example when injection molding or when injecting the bristles, or by subsequent shaping, in particular pressing or deep drawing the initially flat cover part can.
- the brush body at least is sectionally cup-shaped and the cap-like Bristle carriers cover the cup-like area spans. If the brush body is generally cup-shaped and spanned by the cap-like bristle carrier and is covered, a very flat brush can be used form an inner cavity that is to be applied with an Medium filled or with cartridges, tablets or filled foam or sponge inserts can.
- the resilience of the bristle field is largely dependent on the thickness of the membrane-like cover part is determined.
- For electrically operated toothbrushes has a thickness of the cover part in the range of 0.5 mm to 3.0 mm proved to be useful. That is the essential Advantage associated that the overall height of the brush can be kept very low.
- the deformability of the cap-like bristle carrier and in particular the cover part can also be adjusted by on the inside the bristle carrier and in particular the cover part Projections and / or recesses are formed.
- the protrusions form stiffeners that hinder the deformation, while the recesses are particularly soft to deform Define areas.
- the spring element can preferably from a molded on the underside of the cover Bow or web can be formed.
- the brush field tilts relative to the brush body is possible. This can be done in a simpler way Achieve that the web axially, i. essentially perpendicular to the cover part and the bristle field, is flexible. Because the inherent elasticity of the web is limited is the axial flexibility of the web can thereby support that this at least in sections as bellows is trained.
- the outside of the projection of the brush body exciting bridge also serves as a protective cover and especially as mucosal protection for the user.
- elements can be integrated into the web Form impact protection and yield resiliently on contact. This can be achieved, for example, in that the Web elastically deformable on its outer peripheral surface Has projections that are ring-shaped, loop-shaped or can be formed into a perforated band.
- the web extends in the edge region of the cover part.
- the cover under Formation of a free cantilevered overhang on the side, i.e. protrudes radially beyond the web.
- These cantilevered Edge sections can be particularly flexible and so with a toothbrush for a gentle mucous membrane massage contribute. If an appropriately equipped brush hits an angled surface area when in use, the edge section lies relative to the cover part around so that the angled surface area on both abutting surfaces is cleaned at the same time.
- cap-like bristle carrier The dimensions of the cap-like bristle carrier are adapted to the respective application.
- one relatively flat cap with a short web Cover part may be provided, but it is also possible to cap-like bristle carrier in the shape of a stocking, i.e. For education to design an elongated cylinder with relatively long webs, like it is necessary to use an interdental brush or to form individual rotating bristle bundles.
- the bristles can be prefabricated and in a conventional manner be attached to the bristle holder. However, it is an alternative also possible, the bristles in one piece with the bristle holder train and in particular together with this in a one-component process or two-component process to inject. Bristles can be different Shape, different material and different Alignment are formed on the bristle carrier.
- the cap-like bristle carrier has a cavity
