Abstract

The invention relates to a toothbrush capable of brushing and polishing the teeth in a single operation. The mouth part of the toothbrush is composed of an assembly of brush bristles including, at its centre, a non-abrasive polishing pad supported by a flexible cushion. The cushion and pad assembly is capable of deforming in order to match the various shapes of the teeth. The toothbrush consists of a handle 1 which carries, at its end, a band of brush bristles 2, at the centre of which a flexible cushion 3, carrying the polishing pad 4 on its upper face, is located.

Description

La présente invention concerne une brosse à dents capable de réaliser simultanément l'enlèvement de particules alimentaires subsistant dans les interstices dentaires et le lustrage-polissage de l'émail des dents Elle n'exclue pas l'usage d'un dentifrice
Cette derniere oPération concerne principalement les personnes exposées à un dépot parasite provenant par exemple de la fumée et de la nicotine du tabac ou d'autres causes telles que : le calcaire de l'eau, la coloration du betel , le tartre déposé par certaines substances
Traditionnellement le nettoyage des dents est effectué par une brosse et le lustrage par un accessoire différent .Le dispositif selon l'invention permet de réaliser cette double opération en une seule intervention
Selon une forme de réalisation préférentielle de l'invention, la partie bucale de la brosse à dents se compose d'un ensemble de poils de hrosse comportant en son centre un tampon lustreur non abrasif , de consistance souple .capable d'épouser les différentes formes des dents
Le tampon lustreur peut etre réalisé a partir de fibres de matières plastiques aglomérées entre elles par un liant charge d'une poudre abrasive extremement fine possedant des caracteristiques lustrantes sans provoquer de rayures de l'émail des dents
Les fibres peuvent etre fabriquées à partir de matieres plastiques telles que le polypropylene , le polyétyléne le polyester , les polyamides ,etc
Le tampon lustreur est soutenu et solidaire d'un coussin souple fixé sur le manche de la brosse à dents . Ce coussin peut etre réalisé en élastomère dont la souplesse permet de s'adapter aux différentes configurations de l'usage de la brosse
Il peut notamment s'écraser sans éffort de quelques millimetres losque la force de brossage l'exige . En se rétractant ainsi il permet aux poils de la brosse de remplir leur fonction de brossage
Les poils de la partie brosse sont fixés sur le manche autour du tampon lustreur.The present invention relates to a toothbrush capable of simultaneously removing food particles remaining in the dental interstices and polishing-polishing the tooth enamel. It does not exclude the use of a toothpaste.
This last operation mainly concerns people exposed to a parasitic deposit coming for example from smoke and nicotine from tobacco or from other causes such as: water lime, betel color, tartar deposited by certain substances
Traditionally, teeth cleaning is carried out by a brush and buffing by a different accessory. The device according to the invention allows this double operation to be carried out in a single intervention
According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the buccal part of the toothbrush consists of a set of brush hairs comprising at its center a non-abrasive polishing pad, of flexible consistency. Capable of marrying the different shapes teeth
The buffing pad can be made from fibers of plastic materials bonded together by a binder loaded with an extremely fine abrasive powder having shiny characteristics without causing scratches of the tooth enamel.
Fibers can be made from plastics such as polypropylene, polyethylene, polyester, polyamides, etc.
The buffing pad is supported and secured to a flexible cushion fixed on the handle of the toothbrush. This cushion can be made of elastomer whose flexibility makes it possible to adapt to the different configurations of the use of the brush.
It can in particular be crushed without the effort of a few millimeters when the brushing force requires it. By retracting thus it allows the bristles of the brush to fulfill their brushing function
The bristles of the brush part are fixed on the handle around the buffing pad.

Selon une variante , le tampon lustreur peut etre réalisé en plusieurs parties disposées de part et d'autre des poils de la brosse
Selon une autre variante , la partie lustrante de la brosse, peut être réalisée par un ou des groupes de poils imprégnés de particules lustrantes . Les particules de poudre lustrante sont fixées sur les poils par un procédé physico-chimique approprié tel que l'emploi d'un liant ou d'une colle insensible à l'eau .According to a variant, the polishing pad can be produced in several parts arranged on either side of the bristles of the brush.
According to another variant, the polishing part of the brush can be produced by one or more groups of bristles impregnated with polishing particles. The particles of polishing powder are fixed on the hairs by an appropriate physicochemical process such as the use of a binder or a glue which is insensitive to water.
