Abstract
Description
L'objet de l'invention concerne un dispositif de brosse à dents avec porte fil dentaire incorporé à écartement latéral variable. The object of the invention relates to a toothbrush device with incorporated dental floss holder with variable lateral spacing.
I1 est destiné à permettre le nettoyage de la plaque dentaire ainsi que le nettoyage de la langue. It is intended to allow the cleaning of dental plaque as well as the cleaning of the tongue.
Dans les dispositifs connus on rencontrait une multiplicité d 1accessoires séparés demandant des séries d'opérations que devait exécuter l'utilisateur pour l'emploi de l'appareil, de plus la difficulté de positionnement et de tension stabilisé du fil rendant inopérant cet accessoire dont la manutention était entravée par l'obligation de changer le secteur de fil ayant servi au nettoiement. In known devices, there was a multiplicity of separate accessories requiring series of operations that the user had to perform for the use of the device, in addition the difficulty of positioning and stabilized tension of the wire rendering this accessory inoperative, the handling was hampered by the obligation to change the sector of wire used for cleaning.
Le dispositif suivant l'invention supprime ces inconvénients et permet non seulement l'alimentation du fil au fur et à mesure de son utilisation, mais encore sa tension stabilisée quelque soit l'effort subi, une facilité d'utilisation, une meilleure hygiène et enfin par son changement de dimension, son application pour le nettoyage éventuel de la langue. The device according to the invention eliminates these drawbacks and allows not only the feeding of the wire as it is used, but also its stabilized tension whatever the effort undergone, ease of use, better hygiene and finally by its change in size, its application for possible cleaning of the tongue.
I1 se caractérise par la combinaison de l'espace de stockage du fil déroulable, de ses éléments d'ancrage et de l'élasticité des branches de la fourche porteuse assurant sa tension continue en cours d'usage. I1 is characterized by the combination of the space for storing the unrollable wire, its anchoring elements and the elasticity of the branches of the carrying fork ensuring its continuous tension during use.
Sur les dessins annexés, donnés à titre d'exemple non limitatif, d'une des formes de réalisation de l'objet de l'invention
La figure 1 montre la brosse vue en élévation
La figure 2 représente le même objet vu en plan.In the accompanying drawings, given by way of nonlimiting example, of one of the embodiments of the subject of the invention
Figure 1 shows the brush viewed in elevation
Figure 2 shows the same object seen in plan.
La figure 3 est une vue représentant l'arret du fil et sa tension stabilisée dans sa position d'utilisation. Figure 3 is a view showing the stop of the wire and its stabilized tension in its position of use.
La figure 4 montre schématiquement l'application du dispositif pour le nettoyage de la plaque dentaire. Figure 4 schematically shows the application of the device for cleaning dental plaque.
Les figures 5, 6, 7 montrent le détail constructif d'une variante d'exécution pour obtenir la tension du fil. Figures 5, 6, 7 show the constructive detail of an alternative embodiment to obtain the thread tension.
La brosse comporte un corps 1 compartimenté avec logement d' accessoires 2 et du fil 3 préférentiellement enroulé sur support fixe ou rotatif. The brush comprises a compartmentalized body 1 with accessory housing 2 and wire 3 preferably wound on a fixed or rotary support.
Son extrémité antérieure se prolonge par un col porteur de la brosse classique 4 de préférence interchangeable. Its anterior end is extended by a neck carrying the conventional brush 4, preferably interchangeable.
Son extrémité postérieure se prolonge par une fourche à branches 5, 6 élastiques pouvant prendre la position 7, 8 représentée en traits pointillés. Its rear end is extended by a fork with branches 5, 6 elastic which can take the position 7, 8 shown in dotted lines.
Ces branches sont très légèrement courbées et sont pourvues de rainures 9 guidant le fil 10 extrait du dérouleur 11. These branches are very slightly curved and are provided with grooves 9 guiding the wire 10 extracted from the unwinder 11.
Ce fil 10 est branché sur le tenon 12 puis enroulé sur le bossage 13 préférentiellement cranté et renvoyé sur l'extrémité 14 de la fourche munie d'une échancrure d'arrêt 15. This wire 10 is connected to the lug 12 and then wound on the boss 13 preferably notched and returned to the end 14 of the fork provided with a stop notch 15.
Il est tendu sur l'autre échancrure 16 avec pression sur chaque branche, flèches A, B. It is stretched over the other notch 16 with pressure on each branch, arrows A, B.
Son arrêt stabilisé est obtenu par une boucle d'un à plusieurs tours sur le tenon 17. Its stabilized stop is obtained by a loop of one to several turns on the post 17.
Un second bouclage est effectué sur le bossage cranté 18 pour être arrêté finalement sur le tenon 12 par un noeud ou autre. Le brin 19 étant alors sectionné. A second looping is carried out on the notched boss 18 in order to be finally stopped on the tenon 12 by a knot or the like. The strand 19 is then sectioned.
En ne tendant pas par rapprochement les branches élastiques 5, 6 , on obtient alors l'écartement maximum 7, 8 pour réaliser un racleur de langue. By not stretching the elastic branches 5, 6 together, the maximum spacing 7, 8 is then obtained in order to produce a tongue scraper.
Après chaque utilisation le fil est mis au rebut et il suffit d'en extraire une autre longueur par déroulement pour armer de nouveau l'appareil. After each use the wire is discarded and it suffices to extract another length by unwinding to re-arm the device.
La très légère courbure des branches limitera l'enfoncement du fil dans l'espace inter-dentaire par contact de la branche d'écartement sur les faces occlusales des dents 20 et 21. The very slight curvature of the branches will limit the insertion of the wire into the inter-dental space by contact with the spacer branch on the occlusal faces of the teeth 20 and 21.
Par contre, figure 4, l'espace inter-dentaire 20 sera accessible et les faces 21, 22 seront nettoyées et l'enlèvement des plaques bactériennes entiérement réalisées. On the other hand, in FIG. 4, the inter-dental space 20 will be accessible and the faces 21, 22 will be cleaned and the removal of the bacterial plaques entirely produced.
Les faces extérieures 23, 24 sont traitées par la brosse 4. The outer faces 23, 24 are treated by the brush 4.
Les étuis 25, 26 amovibles protégeant les brosses et porte fils. De plus l'étui 24 ramène les fourches dans la position 5, 6. Removable cases 25, 26 protecting the brushes and wire holder. In addition, the case 24 brings the forks back to position 5, 6.
Enfin le boîtier 2 pourra contenir les batonnets interdentaires et des goupillons, accessoires utilisables pour le nettoyage sous les ponts prothétiques, sans qu'il soit nécessaire d'introduire les doigts dans la cavité buccale. Finally, the housing 2 may contain the interdental sticks and brushes, accessories usable for cleaning under the prosthetic bridges, without the need to introduce the fingers into the oral cavity.
Suivant la variante d'exécution, figures 5, 6, 7, on utilise une cheville légèrement conique 25 percée d'un orifice 26 pour le passage du fil 27 venant du dévidoir 11. According to the alternative embodiment, FIGS. 5, 6, 7, a slightly conical dowel 25 is used, pierced with an orifice 26 for the passage of the wire 27 coming from the reel 11.
On introduit cette cheville dans l'orifice récepteur de meme profil 28. This pin is introduced into the receiving orifice of the same profile 28.
Par poussée, flèche C, on fait pénétrer la cheville et le fil dans l'orifice 28 pour immobiliser par pincement le secteur du fil utilisable position 29, fig 6,7. By pushing, arrow C, the pin and the wire are made to penetrate the orifice 28 in order to immobilize by pinching the sector of the usable wire in position 29, fig 6,7.
Ce fil est tendu entre les branches élastiques et immobilisé par la cheville 30. This wire is stretched between the elastic branches and immobilized by the pin 30.
Une butée 31 limite l'écartement fonctionnel des branches. A stop 31 limits the functional spacing of the branches.
Toutefois les formes, dimensions et dispositions des différents éléments pourront varier dans la limite des équivalents comme d ' ailleurs les matières utilisées pour leur fabrication sans changer pour cela, la conception générale de l'invention qui vient d'être décrite. However, the shapes, dimensions and arrangements of the various elements may vary within the limit of the equivalents, as indeed the materials used for their manufacture without changing the general design of the invention which has just been described.
