Description

Toothbrush head

Object of the invention

The present invention, as expressed in the statement of this specification refers to a head Toothbrush whose essential purpose is to provide a head that best suits the surface of the teeth during brushing, also avoiding risks of damaging the Gums due to excessive pressure while brushing. For this, the toothbrush head of the invention presents the novelty of being constituted including some sections flexible that allow flexibility by sections in the referred head, thus facilitating that better adaptation in brushing.

Background of the invention

Toothbrushes are known that they have a handle connected to a head that supports bristles,  presenting the handle and head assembly a rigid structure. These conventional toothbrushes have drawbacks relative to the stiffness of the head, so that they can be damage the gums during brushing when applied excessive pressure, and also the adaptation to the surface of the Brushing teeth is not all the good that one would want.

We do not know in the current state of the art no toothbrush head that has sections flexible just like the toothbrush head of the present invention

Description of the invention

To achieve the objectives and avoid drawbacks indicated in previous sections the invention It consists of a toothbrush head where the head supports some bristles and connects with a handle.

Novelly, according to the invention, said head has one or more flexible sections arranged between the set that form the handle and one or more rigid sections of the head, thus facilitating a better adaptation of the bristles to brushing teeth and avoiding risks of damaging the gums

According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, said flexible zones are arranged transversely in the head and in number of three.

In addition, in that preferred embodiment, the referred to flexible areas have a slightly curved path with the convexity of the curvature pointing towards the end of the brush corresponding to the head.

In said preferred embodiment of the invention said flexible zones are made with rubber, not discarding the use of other materials.

With the structure described, the head Toothbrush of the invention has relative advantages to which determines a flexible body by sections that provides a better brushing adaptation to the surface of the teeth and which also avoids risks of gum damage due to excessive pressure during brushing.

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 perspective view and  anterior of a toothbrush head made according to the present invention, and in which the corresponding handle is shown partially for a better appreciation of the head.

Figure 2.- Represents a perspective view. rear of the toothbrush head referred to in the previous Figure 1.

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 toothbrush head of the The present example of the invention consists of a head 2 which supports a few bristles 5 and that is connected to a handle 1; answering here this structure to characteristics Usual of conventional toothbrushes.

The main novel feature of the head 2 of the present example is that it has several, flexible sections 3 arranged between the assembly that form the handle 1 and several rigid sections 4 which in this example hold bristles 5, as shown in figures 1 and 2. Thus, at brushing flexible sections or sections 3 can flex due to the pressures that are applied, which gives a better adaptation to the surface of the teeth and avoid risks of injuring the gums due to excessive pressure.

In the present example, as you can shown in figures 1 and 2, flexible zones 3 are arranged transversely in head 2 and in number of three, although in other examples a different number of flexible zones 3 and a different arrangement of them.

In addition, flexible zones 3 of head 2 of this example has a slightly curved path with the convexity of the curvature pointing towards the end of the brush corresponding to the head, being able to do without this characteristic in other embodiments of the invention.

In the present example the flexible zones 3 are made with rubber, but in other embodiments may be used other materials that present adequate flexibility.

Claims (4)

1. Toothbrush head, where the head (2) supports bristles (5) and connects with a handle (1); characterized in that it has one or more flexible sections (3) arranged between the assembly that forms the handle (1) and one or more rigid sections (4) of the head (2); thus facilitating a better adaptation of the bristles (5) to the teeth in brushing. 2. Toothbrush head according to claim 1, characterized in that said flexible zones (3) are arranged transversely in head (2) and in number of three. 3. Toothbrush head according to claim 1 or 2 characterized in that said flexible zones (3) have a slightly curved path with the convexity of the curvature pointing towards the end of the brush corresponding to the head (2). 4. Toothbrush head, according to any one of the preceding claims, characterized in that said flexible zones (3) are made of rubber.
