Definitions

  • the invention relates to an interdental brush, in which filaments (or bristles) are held between two twisted wire sections, which consist of an austenitic steel. Furthermore, the invention relates to a method for producing such brushes.
  • interdental brushes exist in the Essentially from two twisted thin pieces of wire, between which the bristles or synthetic filaments are clamped. Whereas previously the wire ends of the small brushes had to be inserted into a handle by the user (see US 4,222,143, Tarrson), modern interdental brushes have a plastic part which can be comfortably inserted in the handle (cf., for example, EP 0 001 044 A1, Georg; 0 203 082 B1, Curaden AG). Depending on the width of the interdental spaces large or small brushes are needed. There are therefore a number of brushes with different wire and bristle diameters.
  • EP 0 892 625 B1, Curaden AG Systems are also already known which enable the patient to determine the correct interdental brush easily and quickly (cf., for example, EP 0 892 625 B1, Curaden AG).
  • the use of special steels such as high strength austenitic steels allows for a thinner design of the wire.
  • EP 0 800 781 A2 (Sunstar Inc.) describes, for example, a wire which is composed of 17-19% by weight of manganese,> 0.65% by weight of nitrogen, 17-19% by weight of chromium, 1.5-2.5% by weight.
  • the object of the invention is to provide an interdental brush belonging to the technical field mentioned at the outset, which is stable even with a small diameter of the wire.
  • the twisted wire sections consist of a nickel-free or nickel-poor steel, "nickel-free” or “nickel-poor” in the context of the invention designating a steel if the nickel content in the alloy is less than 0.05% by weight.
  • Interdental brushes according to the invention are distinguished by increased rigidity and improved restoring force. If the brushes z. B. are introduced obliquely into the interdental space and abut or bend with the tip, then the twisted section will not deform so easily, or if it deforms, he is not so easily permanently deformed. Thus, the properties of particular thin brushes for the user can be significantly improved. In addition, the use of nickel-free wire increases the body compatibility of the brush without the need for any protective coatings.
  • the wire used has a diameter of 0.15 mm or more. Practical tests have shown that it is possible to work well with 0.15 mm to 0.30 in the smallest interdental brushes customary today. Of course, thick wires make for more stable brushes than thin ones. Under certain circumstances, it is advantageous if the wires are not selected as thick as possible. Thinner wires result in more flexible brushes.
  • a preferred wire diameter is in the range of 0.18 - 0.27 mm.
  • the wire used preferably has a tensile strength of 1000 N / mm 2 or more. In most cases, the tensile strength does not have to be greater than 1200 N / mm2. Such wires not only provide a brush with a low risk of breakage, but also allow processing in high-speed and high-bending machines. If the strength is too high, processing may be difficult because the wires may break. It has surprisingly been found that the wires according to the invention can be processed even if they have a tensile strength of 1000 N / mm 2 and more. This is not the case with the nickel-containing wires.
  • the wires are made of an austenite.
  • the robustness of the filament carrier, which is formed by the twisted wires thus favorably influenced.
  • the corrosion resistance ensures that long-stored or broken brushes (due to intervening corrosion) in use do not cause problems for the user.
  • the stretching or twisting of the wires during processing in the brush production increases the tensile strength.
  • the processed wires are somewhat stiffer compared to the raw state.
  • filaments are introduced in a manner known per se between two wire sections and the wire sections are twisted with the filaments. According to the invention, however, it is not an ordinary nickel-containing wire but a nickel-free one that is used.
  • the wire sections may be per se formed by the two halves of a single piece of wire. But they can also be realized with two separate wires.
  • Fig. 1 shows how the wire sections 1a, 1b are twisted together.
  • the filaments are not shown in FIG. 1. They are clamped between the two wire sections 1a, 1b. It is recognizable that the wire sections 1a, 1b are bent relatively strong. They form the filament carrier, so to speak.
  • Fig. 2 shows a cross section through the filament support.
  • the wire sections 1a, 1b have a certain diameter D. Between them, the filaments 2 are held.
  • the diameter D is set so that, on the one hand, the filament support has a desired rigidity and, on the other hand, that the interdental brush is adapted to a certain degree of mobility.
  • the mobility may be e.g. be determined by a probe, as it is known from the aforementioned EP 0 892 625 B1.
  • both the diameter D and the width B and the wire material used (or its flexibility) are relevant for the mobility.
  • Interdental brushes made of nickel-free steel (nickel-free in this context: nickel content below 0.05% by weight) of the following composition were successfully produced (rounded weights, impurities not mentioned): 17% by weight chrome 14% by weight manganese 2% by weight molybdenum 0.5% by weight nitrogen 0.25% by weight silicon 0.11% by weight carbon 0.04% by weight nickel 0.02% by weight phosphorus 0.006% by weight titanium rest iron
  • the wire had a diameter of 0.23 mm and a tensile strength of at least 1100 N / mm 2 and at most 1300 N / mm 2. Further attempts were made with a wire made with 0.27 mm diameter and same alloy. The tensile strength was at least 1000 N / mm 2 and at most 1200 N / mm 2.
  • the interdental brush fitted with the new wire holds under rotating bending a threefold more frequent load compared to the traditional brush. (In the so-called rotating bend, the plastic part is clamped and the tip of the brush is rotated circularly with a device.)
  • the above alloy composition can be varied. Cr and Mn content may e.g. be changed by 3% by weight. If biocompatibility is particularly important, the Ni content is also preferably chosen to be lower.
  • the invention provides an interdental brush with a small diameter of the filament carrier and consequently good mobility in the narrow interdental spaces. Even with fine wire diameters, a high degree of robustness of the interdental brush is achieved.
