Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for massaging or cleaning the jaw or the teeth of a baby with a handle and a substantially corresponding to the arch shape of the jaw curved, plate-shaped bite member having at least on a broadside massage or cleaning projections, wherein the bite part consists of a softer material compared to the handle. Furthermore, the invention relates to a method for producing the device.
- bite-type devices for example GB 2288 126 A, US 5 160 344 A, US 2003/0181948 A1 or US 2005/0004603 A1 which soothe a baby's jaw and / or irritations during the To reduce tooth formation of the baby.
- this known bite body is that they consist entirely of either a relatively hard material or a relatively soft material, so that they do not allow cleaning of the teeth or due to the elasticity of the handle no efficient massage of the jaw due to the hardness of the bite.
- these bite bodies are generally annular, so that only the foremost part of the baby's jaw is detected. The posterior parts of the jaw in the area of the molars are left unaffected by the "treatment", so it is not possible to calm and reduce the irritation of the jaw in this area.
- a device for supporting teething which can also be used as a pacifier.
- the device consists of a U-shaped bite body, a shield and a handle, wherein the handle and the bite body are made of one piece, and thus consist of the same material.
- a device for facilitating teething is shown with a palatal bar on which calcium salt liquid is applied or which is impregnated with the liquid. This should help prevent or at least alleviate diseases.
- the palate bar is connected with a safety disc and a handle.
- GB 510 754 A discloses a teething ring having a bite and a hold area. In the biting area knobs are formed. Also this ring consists of a single material.
- CA 1 329 868 C discloses a combination toothbrush and toothed ring with bristles mounted on a ring; a bite of a softer material is not disclosed.
- EP 1 611 818 A1 a dental care device for children is shown, wherein a brush and a rattle are attached to a ring. Brush between the opposite areas and rattle lie the grip areas, which are provided with nubs. Again, no comparatively soft bite is provided.
- the device should be easy and inexpensive to produce.
- the object is achieved in that the handle and the bite are permanently connected to each other.
- This type of connection allows a solid, durable and above all lasting hold of the hard handle on the soft bite, so that the handle of the bite itself with frequent use of the device can not unintentionally solve and the device can therefore be used unattended by small children.
- the comparatively hard grip allows efficient transmission of force from the user to the comparatively soft biting part provided with massage or cleaning projections, so that cleaning of the young teeth as well as massage of the jaw is possible during toddler's teething.
- the handle has two, freely projecting ends for connection to the bite.
- the bite part has a circumferential wall projecting upwards and downwards beyond its plate-shaped base body, at least partially on the inside of which massage or cleaning projections , in particular bristle-like projections, are provided.
- the special shape and the particular bristle-like projections offer the advantage that the jaw or the teeth can be cleaned and massaged on all sides and comprehensively. This is also with more or less intense biting movements of the baby on Bite, whereby the bite naturally pushed back and forth is guaranteed.
- the length and thickness of the projections may vary, wherein the base body, for example, may have shorter projections than the upwardly and downwardly projecting wall; Of course, lamellar massage or cleaning projections can be provided instead of the bristles or nubs.
- the wall may have the same height and thickness in its circulation around the main body.
- the wall sections may have different heights.
- the bite part is shaped in such a way that it essentially corresponds to the entire mandibular arch of a baby.
- the posterior region of the jaw can be cleaned and massaged simultaneously with the anterior jaw area.
- the teeth naturally form a time-shift.
- the canines are just piercing the jaw, the molars are not yet formed, the existing teeth can be cleaned and at the same time the irritated lateral and posterior jaw through the special shape of the bite part is massaged sensitively.
- This "treatment” can be further optimized by varying the length and thickness of the protrusions on the body and on the inside of the wall surrounding the body
- essentially massage or cleaning can be performed over the entire mandibular arch as the wall thickness increases
- the wall thickness of the plate-shaped base body is substantially constant and the height of the massage or cleaning projections from the center of curvature of the bite to its This advantageously results in a simplified production compared with the base body with widening wall thickness.
- These advantageous embodiments of the plate-shaped basic body can also be provided with detachable connections between the handle and the bite part be .
- the bite part for connection to the handle connecting elements are formed, which are held inextricably at the ends of the handle.
- the connecting elements are integrally formed on the outer edge of the respective end portions of the B concernedteils and extend substantially from a center of curvature of the arc shape of the B concernedteils in the radial direction.
- This arrangement of the connecting elements on the bite part has the advantage that the device is designed to be stable overall and the biting part can be inserted entirely into the oral cavity, without the handle would be a hindrance.
- a reliable permanent connection between the bite and the handle is given if the bite is positively connected to the handle. It may be preferred that the connecting elements of the biting part are positively received in each case in a recess of the handle, in particular in the freely projecting ends of the handle.
- a positive connection can be realized in concrete in various ways.
- a structurally simple positive connection is provided if at least one recess is provided in the handle, in which at least one elevation of the connecting element is received.
- the recesses and the surveys can be varied in their specific design as desired.
- the connecting elements may be provided in the connecting elements, through which pins of the handle are performed.
- the pins may be provided respectively on the inside of the ends of the handle halves.
- insertion sleeves and corresponding insertion pins for connecting the two halves are provided on the insides of the handle halves.
- the handle halves can be welded, in particular ultrasound-welded, or even glued or snapped.
- the handle and the bite part can be integrally formed as a two-component injection molded part for the permanent connection of the comparatively hard grip with the comparatively soft bite part. Also by this design a simple production and a firm cohesion of the individual components of the device is ensured.
- the handle essentially has a bow shape.
- a simple general U-shape or arch shape can be selected, with a bow shape with two or three outer constrictions or inner bulges is preferred.
- the latter is particularly suitable for babies, as babies often hold an object with both hands to their mouths; Moreover, such a shape is appealing in its appearance.
- the bite part is aligned concavely in the direction of the handle. Since this bite on the handle for the baby "bite-sized" is arranged, the biting for the baby is particularly light and pleasant.
- the handle is made of polypropylene, polycarbonate or the like.
- a softened polypropylene as sold under the brand Adflex be used.
- the bite portion has a Shore A hardness of from about 30 to about 70, preferably from about 45 to about 60.
- the above object with regard to the method of manufacturing the device is achieved in the case of the integrally connected to the bite part handle, characterized in that the device is manufactured in one piece by means of a two- or three-component injection molding process. If a three-component injection molding process is used, for example, individual massage projections can be made harder than the others.
- the handle may have portions made of a softer material than the remainder of the handle, resulting in a different tactile sensation in the various portions.
- the device can be easily manufactured if, prior to joining the two handle halves, the fasteners of the bite member are connected to the respective ends of the handle halves be positively connected, after which the handle halves are heat-welded for permanent connection by means of ultrasound.
