Description

Device for surface hygiene of the oral mucous membranes.

Object of the invention

The present invention, as expressed in the statement of this specification refers to a device for hygiene of mucosal surfaces oral whose essential purpose is to facilitate a device specific for the hygiene of these surfaces, and especially the of the tongue, for which the invention provides a body that includes an ergonomic protuberance made as an adaptation to the  Anatomy of the user's tongue.

Background of the invention

Various washing devices are known and hygiene of the tongue, which are integrated in brushes Toothbrush, so that the back of the head of the brush, as opposed to the corresponding bristles, has Highlights or roughnesses that allow scraping of the tongue for easy cleaning.

Although there are scraper devices of the tongue that are independent of the brush, however IN THE CURRENT STATE OF THE TECHNIQUE Known devices do not have of an ergonomic protrusion, just as the device does of the present invention.

Description of the invention

To achieve the stated objectives previously, the invention consists of a device for hygiene of the surfaces of the oral mucous membranes, which comprises a Main body essentially flat, elongated, thin and of rounded ends.

Novelly, according to the invention, the area center of one of the longitudinal edges of said body Main features an ergonomic bump in the form of soft  mound made as an adaptation to the anatomy of the tongue.

According to the preferred embodiment of the invention, said ergonomic protuberance and adjacent areas include a Toothed that improves the action of scraping on the tongue.

On the other hand, in said preferred embodiment, the aforementioned rounded ends of the main body include in its profile some determining undulations of individual grips that improve the handling and anti-slip device.

Also, according to the preferred embodiment of the invention, said main body is made with a material flexible polymer, although it can be made in other materials appropriate.

With the structure described, the device of the invention has advantages such as provides a specific device for scraping the tongue and other surfaces of the oral mucous membranes, without the need for integrate into another device like a toothbrush, which would make its manufacture more expensive. In addition, the device of the invention It presents a great simplicity, so its cost is very small and Its very simple manufacturing. Bulge or bump Ergonomic shaped soft mound features an adaptation maximized to the anatomy of the user's tongue, and its teeth facilitates scraping operations, ensuring elimination very deep waste, food debris and oral flora or plaque bacterial with one or two passes on the surface of the tongue. In addition, the embodiment with a preferably polymeric material flexible allows easy access to deep areas of the tongue and from the user's mouth, while the ripples of their ends facilitate grip and anti-slip device, ensuring comfortable, accurate and very stable handling in all areas of the oral cavity.

As stated above, with one or two passed on the surface of the tongue is enough to eliminate the dirt, while with known scrapers incorporated in the back of the brush is virtually impossible to know with accuracy when the entire surface of the surface has been treated language, even if there are several passes. What makes the scraper of the invention be considerably more comfortable in addition to cash.

Then, to facilitate a better understanding of this descriptive report and being an integral part of the same, some figures are accompanied in which with character illustrative and not limiting the object of the invention.

Brief description of the figures

Figure 1.- Represents a plan view of a device for hygiene of mucosal surfaces Oral, performed according to the present invention.

Figure 2.- Represents a profile view of the device of the previous figure 1.

Figure 3.- Represents an enlarged detail of one of the ends of the device, where you can see in detail the ripples or non-skid bumps.

Description of an embodiment of the invention

Following is a description of a example of the invention with reference to numbering Adopted in the figures.

Thus, the device for the hygiene of surfaces of the oral mucous membranes of this example of the invention, it consists of a main body 1 that is essentially flat, elongated, thin and rounded ends, just as It can be seen in Figures 1 and 2.

In the present example, the main body 1 is  made with a flexible polymeric material, but in others examples of the invention may be used other material that consider convenient.

In the central area of one of the edges lengths of the main body 1 a Ergonomic protrusion 2, as shown in Figure 1. This bump 2 presents a gentle mound shape and has made as an adaptation to the anatomy of the tongue of the Username.

In addition, the ergonomic protuberance 2 and the Adjacent areas include a serrated 3 that improves the action of scraped on the tongue, being able to appreciate said jagged in the Figure 1.

Moreover, the rounded ends of the main body 1 are provided in its profile with some undulations 4 that determine both grips to improve handling and anti-skid of the device, being able to appreciate these undulations 4 in figure 2.
