  • the Device through the annular fastener of postponed to the child or by a guardian, attached or in any other way on the finger can be attached in a simple manner.
  • the Device through the simple structure of three known Elements, i.e. the carrier element, the bristle arrangement and the annular fastening device in a simple manner and way of producing.
  • the device according to the invention by different in size ring-shaped fasteners as a mass product producible, depending on the age or size of the user only different sized annular Fasteners must be used.
  • annular fastening device at least partially an elastic material is built up because the annular fastening device thereby to a can adjust the appropriate finger size.
  • the annular Fastening device has a Velcro fastener. Consequently the fastening device is individual to each size customizable, the device being supervised by a supervisor can be attached in a simple manner.
  • the fastening device is a clamp element, which has one or more screenings, the Fastening device to a certain size of the Be adjusted at the first use, so that the fastening device then always the suitable size for the corresponding user.
  • annular Fastening device and the carrier element made of plastic are made. This will reduce the manufacturing costs despite good material properties minimized.
  • the fastening device consists of two half ring elements that are not connected
  • the Pinch fingers between the two half ring elements are when the two half-ring elements in a suitable manner and are attached to the carrier element and / or a suitable flexibility to adapt to finger size exhibit.
  • a first Fastening device to the first phalange and one second fastening device to the second phalange of is adaptable to at least one finger.
  • Bristle arrangement substantially below the first Finger limb of a finger arranged when the device at least by means of the annular fastening device one finger is fixed. So it is for the user particularly easy, the position he wants to To achieve brushing.
  • the bristle arrangement is substantially semi-cylindrical following the circumference of a finger in the area of the Fingerprint is provided, the user does not have to every necessary rotation of the finger to reach the desired location of the teeth.
  • the semi-cylindrical Formation of the bristle arrangement simultaneously several areas teeth and palate are cleaned or massaged.
  • the bristle arrangement is advantageously made of one Variety of individual bristles built up, essentially have a length of 2 mm to 8 mm, in particular one Length from 3 mm to 4 mm.
  • this is elongated Carrier element below the first and second phalanges arranged when the device by means of the annular Fastening device is fixed on a finger.
  • the elongated support element is advantageous and Way essentially semi-cylindrical, so that it is contoured to fit a finger for one power transmission from the finger to the Bristles, especially on the semi-cylindrical ones Bristles to worry.
  • the elongate support element advantageously extends such from the fastener towards one Fingertip that the elongated support member one Has stop section for supporting the fingertip, when the device is attached by means of the fastening device one finger is fixed. So in a simple way and Way prevents the device on the finger of the User while using teeth brushing from the optimal attachment position is shifted or slipped.
  • a further advantageous embodiment extends the elongated support element from the Fastening device down to the area of the palm of the hand, when the device is attached by means of the fastening device one finger is fixed. This allows the power transmission the bristles on the teeth can be improved. On the other hand children can by stretching in the area of Palm plates are more easily used to conventional toothbrushes because they give them a feeling similar to cleaning the teeth are conveyed with a conventional toothbrush.
  • an extension is on the elongated support element can be plugged on, which is up to extends into the area of the palm when the Device by means of the fastening device on one Finger is fixed.
  • the clip-on extension can the elongated support element with bristle arrangement and Fastener made in mass production with an attachable extension as required with different sizes to fit the size appropriate hands can be used.
  • the extension of the Carrier element or the extension of the carrier element in the Area of the palm has a support element, which to adapt to the central area of the palm in the Is essentially disc-shaped. As a consequence of this can hand over the entire area of the user Carrier element or the extension with support element be supported so that the user's hand in is guided or positioned in a simple manner.
  • the device according to the invention is from the side seen shown on a finger, especially the Index finger is arranged.
  • the device has one elongated carrier element 10 on which a bristle arrangement 20 is attached, which consists of a variety of individual Bristles exist.
  • the elongated support element 10 extends from the second phalange over the first phalange to the fingertip, the elongated support element 10 a stop section 11 for supporting the fingertip having.
  • the elongated carrier element 10 is preferably made of Made of plastic and is the contour of a finger customized.
  • a first fastening device 31 is attached to the first phalange and a second fastening device 32 adapted to the second phalanges.
  • the Fastening devices 31, 32 are preferably made of one elastic material made to fit the size of the Fingers and adapt the fix device according to the invention on the finger.
  • the bristle arrangement 20 is substantially below the arranged first finger limb so that the user does not special brushing skills at the desired one Job needed.
  • the bristle arrangement 20 can thereby extend into the area of the fingertip, so that from brushed hard-to-reach parts of the teeth can be.
  • FIG. 2 is a further embodiment of the Device according to the invention shown from the front.
  • the Embodiment of FIG. 2 essentially corresponds 1, however, is the elongated support member 10 formed essentially semi-cylindrical. Further is the bristle assembly 20 also substantially semi-cylindrical in the area following the circumference of the finger of the fingerprint on the cylindrical carrier element 10 intended.
  • the embodiment according to Fig. 2 shows a stop portion 11, not shown Have support for the fingertip when the device fixed to the finger by means of the fastening device 30 is.
  • FIG. 3 and 4 show a further embodiment of the Device according to the invention with an attached Extension 40 shown, which is fixed on the index finger.
  • the extension 40 is on the elongated support member 10 of a device according to the invention from FIG. 1, around for easy power transfer from hand to hand Bristles.
  • the extension 40 extends here to the area of the palm, as in Fig. 4 shown.
  • the Extension a support element 41, which for adjustment to the central area of the palm essentially is disc-shaped.
  • the size and length of the Extension 40 may vary such that the device according to the invention on different hands is customizable.
  • the fastening device 30 can also be on different sizes of fingers can be adjusted, for example by different sizes of the diameter or by Velcro fastening the ring-shaped Fastening device 30 or other suitable measures.
  • the carrier element 10 and the fastening device 30 can also in an embodiment, not shown be designed such that two fingers from the Fastening device 30 on the elongated carrier element 10 can be fixed with a corresponding bristle arrangement 20.
  • a device for dental hygiene in particular for Children or people with physical or mental Disability, which described an elongated support member (10) to which a bristle arrangement 20 is attached and on the at least one annular fastening device 30, 31, 32 for fixing to at least one finger in this way it is provided that the bristle arrangement 20 by means of the annular fastening device 30, 31, 32 for Brushing teeth interacts with your finger.
