Abstract

The gum massager has two pivoted arms each of which terminates in a jaw (5). The jaws are formed with lateral lugs (8a,8b) which receive the pivot axes of a pair of silicone rubber rollers. The axes are perpendicular to the plane containing the two arms. The arms are both L-shaped and are bent in the same direction. Near the pivot pin (12) are mounted a pair of complementary Z-shaped spring strips each of which has one end mounted on one arm and the opposite end fixed to the other. The springs (14,13) bias the arms, and hence the jaws, apart so the user can apply the correct massaging pressure himself.

Description

La présente invention concerne une variante de réalisation de l'appareil pour masser les gencives décrit dans la demande de brevet d'invention déposée !1B 21 Septembre 1979 sous le numéro de dépôt 7 9 2 3 5 6 4. The present invention relates to an alternative embodiment of the apparatus for massaging the gums described in the invention patent application filed! 1B September 21, 1979 under the deposit number 7 9 2 3 5 6 4.

Le moyen de massage décrit à titre d'exemple dans la demande ci dessus référencée était constitué de rouleaux. Au cours d'utilisation intensive de l'appareil il est apparu que s'ils étaient trop fortement pressés contre la gencive les rouleaux pouvaient tirer le tissu gingival dans le mouvement vertical qui leur était imprimé CAUSANT UNE irri station.  The massage means described by way of example in the application referenced above consisted of rollers. During intensive use of the device it appeared that if they were pressed too strongly against the gum the rollers could pull the gum tissue in the vertical movement which was printed on them CAUSING IRRI station.

La présente addition au brevet concerne une variante de réalisation tout à fait conferme à la revendication 1 de la demande de brevet principal,
Cette variante est caractérisée en ce que l'appareil à masser les gencives porte, comme moyen de massage, des coussinets souples, élastiques dont la surface est très glissante, selon la description explicative qui va suivre en référence au dessin schématique annexe.The present addition to the patent relates to a variant embodiment entirely consistent with claim 1 of the main patent application,
This variant is characterized in that the apparatus for massaging the gums carries, as a means of massage, flexible, elastic pads whose surface is very slippery, according to the explanatory description which will follow with reference to the accompanying diagrammatic drawing.

En se référant à la figure unique on peut voir que l'appareil est constitué d'une pince à ressort, appelée brucelles, dont les branches 2 et 3 portent sur la face interne de leur extrémité les coussinets 4a et 4b. Referring to the single figure, it can be seen that the apparatus consists of a spring clip, called tweezers, the branches 2 and 3 of which bear the pads 4a and 4b on the internal face of their ends.

Les branches 2 et 3 représentées coudées sur le dessin selon l'une des caractéristiques du brevet principal pourraient avoir toute autre forme et, nottemment, être toutes droites. The branches 2 and 3 shown bent in the drawing according to one of the characteristics of the main patent could have any other shape and, in particular, be all straight.

La pince à ressort peut autre fabriquée dans une matière plastiquetelle que polycarbanate ou polyéthylene qui assure suffisamment de ressort aux branches pour qu'elles reprennent leur position initiale dès que l'utilisateur relâche la pression des doigts qu'il y exerce au moment du massage. The spring clip may be made of a plastic material other than polycarbanate or polyethylene which provides sufficient spring to the branches so that they return to their initial position as soon as the user releases the pressure of the fingers which he exerts there during the massage.

DE plus cette matière est assez souple pour plier sous une trop forte pression amortissant ainsi celle exercée sur les gencives qui, trop forte, pourrait les traumatiser0
Quant aux coussinets qui constituent les moyens de massage, ils doivent être à la fois souples et glissants. Le caoutchouc aux silicones s'est révélé particulièrement convenables à cet effet. Furthermore, this material is flexible enough to bend under too strong pressure, thus absorbing that exerted on the gums which, if too strong, could traumatize them0
As for the pads which constitute the means of massage, they must be both flexible and slippery. Silicone rubber has been found to be particularly suitable for this purpose.

L'appareil est utilisé de la m8me façon que décrite dans le brevet principal Le moyen de massage agissant, ici, en gliss sant sur la gencive The device is used in the same way as described in the main patent The massage means acting, here, by sliding on the gum
