Definitions
- Oral hygiene cleaning device and method of manufacturing an oral hygiene cleaning device are provided.
- the invention relates to a cleaning device for oral hygiene, in particular a toothbrush, an interdental cleaning device or a dental floss holder, and a method for producing the cleaning device.
- the invention relates to cleaning devices for personal oral hygiene, for example toothbrushes, rod-shaped interdental cleaning devices or dental floss holders.
- cleaning devices are usually made predominantly from injection molded plastic.
- EP 1110478 A1 discloses a method for producing a toothbrush by injection molding plastic.
- EP 3569190 A1 discloses interdental cleaning devices made from thermoplastic material.
- EP 3117797 A1 discloses a dental floss holder.
- Plastic is largely made from fossil raw materials and its production thus contributes to the emission of carbon dioxide.
- very few plastics are biodegradable, so that the disposal of plastic products leads to significant environmental pollution.
- foamed plastic for this purpose is known from WO 2020/193760 A1.
- the foamed plastic partially replaces the solid plastic that is otherwise used, which means that the amount of plastic is reduced overall while the stability of the cleaning device remains the same.
- the cleaning device is formed almost entirely from non-biodegradable material.
- the object of the present invention is to provide a cleaning device for oral hygiene, in particular a toothbrush, an interdental cleaning device or a Dental floss holder, which consists mainly of renewable, easily recyclable and environmentally friendly raw materials.
- the cleaning device should have sufficient durability for daily use.
- the object of the present invention is also to provide a method for producing such a cleaning device, with which the cleaning device can be produced inexpensively, in large numbers and with high quality.
- the invention provides a cleaning device for oral hygiene.
- the cleaning device comprises a cleaning element and a handle element connected to the cleaning element.
- the cleaning device is characterized in that the grip element consists of an injection molded fiber material.
- the invention also provides a method of manufacturing an oral hygiene cleaning implement.
- the method comprises the steps: providing a cleaning element, producing a handle element by injection molding a fiber material and connecting the handle element to the cleaning element.
- An essential element of the invention is the production of the handle element by injection molding of a fiber material.
- Fiber material consists of renewable raw materials, such as wood fiber, and is therefore easily compostable or recyclable. Because the grip element is made of this environmentally friendly material, the amount of less environmentally friendly plastic used can be significantly reduced compared to conventional cleaning devices.
- a cleaning device can thus be provided in which plastic is only used to form the actual cleaning element, ie for example the brush head of a toothbrush or the tip of an interdental cleaning device.
- the handle element and thus by far the largest part of the cleaning device, on the other hand, can be formed from a fiber material.
- a further advantage of the invention is that the durability of the handle element is increased by processing the fiber material by means of injection molding.
- Injection molding makes it possible to produce molded parts with excellent mechanical properties from the fiber material. This means that more stable molded parts can be produced than with other processing methods that are customary for fiber materials.
- processing by means of injection molding makes shaping easier, so that molded parts with the desired shape, for example ergonomically shaped toothbrush handles, can be produced without great effort.
- the handle element can be manufactured using injection molding machines that ensure a high throughput and consistent product quality. This distinguishes processing by injection molding from other methods of processing fiber materials.
- a suspension of the fiber material in the production of cardboard, a suspension of the fiber material must first be spread out on screens, dried and pressed into sheets before the cardboard can then be formed into shaped bodies by cutting and rolling the sheets.
- the suspension of the fiber material in the case of injection molding, on the other hand, can be brought into the desired shape in one process step.
- the cleaning device is in particular a device for personal oral hygiene, for example a toothbrush, a rod-shaped interdental cleaning device or a dental floss holder.
- a cleaning device usually has a handle with which the cleaning device can be guided in one hand.
- the handle of the cleaning device is formed entirely or partially from the handle element.
- the handle is formed entirely from the material of the handle element.
- the otherwise customary use of plastic to produce a handle can thus be dispensed with.
- the handle it is also possible for the handle to have a core made of a material other than the fiber material of the handle element.
- the core of the handle can consist of an injection-molded plastic, which is encased by the fiber material to form the handle element.
- the fiber material replaces the usual overmoulding of the handle with a flexible plastic.
- the handle element preferably forms at least part of the surface of the handle. Because the surface of the handle is made of fiber material, a pleasant feel is achieved.
- the fibrous material preferably contains cellulose and preferably comprises wood pulp, semi-chemical pulp or chemical pulp.
- Mechanical pulp is produced by defibration of plant material, particularly wood, and includes lignocellulose.
- semi-pulp the lignin content is reduced compared to wood pulp.

- the bristle carrier can also completely form the brush head. In this variant, no fiber material is used to form the brush head.
- the connecting section with which the bristle carrier is connected to the handle element, is provided in the area of the toothbrush neck or the toothbrush handle.
- the brush head and brush neck are therefore predominantly made of the material of the bristle carrier.
- the grip element which is made of fiber material, does not have to be inserted into the oral cavity and thus not through saliva can be softened.

It is also possible for the bristle carrier to have through bores through which bristle filaments or flexible cleaning elements can be pushed.
- the bristle filaments or the flexible cleaning elements each have thickenings on their fastening-side end which abut positively on one side of the bristle carrier and prevent the bristle filaments or the flexible cleaning elements from being pulled out of the through bores.
- the handle element preferably forms at least part of a toothbrush handle.
- the handle element preferably forms a depression in the area of the toothbrush handle, which serves as a thumb rest. This increases the ergonomics of the cleaning device.
- the toothbrush handle can be formed completely from the fiber material, with the connection to the cleaning element only taking place in the area of the toothbrush neck or the toothbrush head.
- the toothbrush handle it is also possible for the toothbrush handle to have a core made of a material other than the fiber material of the handle element.
- the core of the toothbrush handle can consist of the material of the bristle carrier, which is encased by the fiber material to form the handle element. This core is preferably made in one piece with the bristle carrier.
- the grip element forms at least part of the surface of the toothbrush handle. Because the surface of the toothbrush handle is made of fiber material, a pleasant feel is achieved.

- the bristle filaments and/or the flexible cleaning elements preferably protrude from the rod-shaped base transversely, in particular at right angles, to the longitudinal axis of the rod-shaped base.
- the handle element is preferably rod-shaped and extends in particular in the longitudinal direction of the rod-shaped base of the cleaning element.
- the length and diameter of the handle element are preferably adapted in such a way that the handle element can be held comfortably and securely between two fingers.
- the grip element preferably has at least one holding section. In the area of the holding section, the otherwise preferably rod-shaped gripping element is flattened, and the holding section is particularly preferably plate-shaped.
- the holding section thus offers a larger gripping surface and can be held securely between thumb and forefinger, for example.
- the holding section preferably consists entirely of the fiber material. Accordingly, the fiber material in the area of the holding section is preferably not injected around a core made of a different material, for example plastic.
- the cleaning element is a thread of dental floss.
