Definitions

  • the present invention refers to an improved toothbrush.
  • the present invention deals with a practical problem that is common to all toothbrushes: identifying their owner when there are several toothbrushes of a type that is identical or very similar one to the other.
  • the toothbrush handle is equipped with small spaces in which the toothbrush owner can write his name, or is equipped with an actual display of the digital type, adapted to display several pieces of information, among which the user name.
  • the first arrangement appears subjected to deletion of the user name from the space after a prolonged used and subjected to always have a pen or a fountain pen available that is suited for writing in such space
  • the second arrangement appears costly and complicated to make, in a toothbrush whose use and replacement are frequent.
  • Object of the present invention is solving the above prior art problems, by providing an improved toothbrush, in which it is possible to point out the user name (through its presentation in extended or abbreviated form, or through a distinctive sign), in a permanent way, that can at the same time be replaced at will at any time.
  • a further object of the present invention is providing a toothbrush as described above that can be simply and immediately realised and configured, and is practical and handy for its user.
  • an improved toothbrush 1 substantially comprises a brushing head 3; and an handle 5 connected to an end of the head 3 and equipped with an appendix 6 at the opposite end.
  • Such appendix 6 can simply be an elongation of the handle 5 (not shown) and therefore can have the same size of the handle 5 itself, or, as shown in Fig. 1, can be a sort of support whose section is lower than the handle 5 section, connected to the handle 5 in order to be able to be used as supporting base for the identifying elements 7 described below.
  • the handle 5 and/or the brushing head 3 are further equipped with a plurality of identifying elements 7 adapted to be placed above and/or around the appendix 6: each one of such identifying elements 7 contains identifying signs of an user of the toothbrush 1 in order to be able to apply them on the toothbrush 1 itself to customise it.
  • the identifying elements 7 can be of different colours, and are preferably composed of letters of the alphabeth, and/or fantasy drawings and characters, arranged on the whole or on part of the visible surface of the identifying element 7.
  • the identifying elements 7 are of a ring shape and are adapted to be placed around the appendix 6 in order to realise the final configuration of Fig. 2.
  • the user can make his name, or an abbreviation, or customised recognising signs, appear.
  • cross section forms of the handle 5 and the identifying elements 7 can be all known geometric forms, such as for example triangles, quadrilaterals (squares and rectangles), or polygons (pentagons, hexagons, etcc.), of the regular or irregular type. All these forms will preferably hollow, in order to be able to place them above and around the appendix 6 or directly above and around the handle 5.
  • the toothbrush 1 of the invention is further equipped with holding means 9 adapted to prevent the identifying elements 7 from going out of the appendix 6 once installed thereon.
  • the holding means 9 could be shaped as a plug connected at the end of the appendix 6 in order to be a natural elongation and the end part of the handle 5. Also in this case, obviously, the most various configurations of the holding means 9 are possible, both according to the cross section of the handle 5, and according to the final result (identifying and/or aesthetic one) of the configuration of toothbrush 1 that has to be obtained.
  • the identifying elements 7 could be one, two or more: the Figures show the configuration with three identifying elements 7, in order to compose a sort of end user abbreviation.
  • identifying elements 7 are provided separately with respect to the toothbrush 1, and are adapted to be inserted on the appendix 6 in a configuration and an arrangement chosen by the user.
  • the identifying elements 7 can be pre-assembled onto the toothbrush 1, and be adapted to be rotated on the appendix 6 in a configuration chosen by the user according to their rotation.
