"Dispositif de nettoyage dentaire à usage
unique et son conditionnement stérile"."Dental cleaning device for use
unique and sterile packaging ".
La présente invention concerne un dispositif de nettoyage dentaire à usage unique et son conditionnement stérile s'ouvrant en tirant sur un fil de nylon fluoré à usage dentaire le traversant. The present invention relates to a disposable dental cleaning device and its sterile packaging which opens by pulling on a fluorinated nylon thread for dental use passing through it.
Plusieurs systèmes de dispositif de nettoyage dentaire à usage unique ont déjà été envisagés et ce pour répondre à des besoins précis: voyages, restauration hors du domicile, oubli de sa brosse à dents, etc... Dans certains systèmes plus élaborés on a même envisagé une répartition automatique de la dose de pâte dentifrice sur les poils de la brosse à dents par des moyens plus ou moins complexes. Several systems of dental cleaning device for single use have already been envisaged and this to meet specific needs: travel, catering outside the home, forgetting his toothbrush, etc. In some more elaborate systems we have even considered automatic distribution of the dose of toothpaste on the bristles of the toothbrush by more or less complex means.
Tous ces systèmes ont en commun un coût élevé de fabrication dus à leurs conceptions assez complexes, qui les font s'éloigner de la notion d'usage unique et, facteur important, souvent, les manches des brosses à dents ne sont pas présentés dans un conditionnement stérile alors qu'ils sont destinés à être introduits dans la bouche. All these systems have in common a high manufacturing cost due to their rather complex designs, which make them move away from the concept of single use and, important factor, often, the handles of toothbrushes are not presented in a sterile packaging when they are intended to be introduced into the mouth.
En outre une partie non négligeable de l'hygiène dentaire est apportée par l'usage d'un fil de nylon fluoré entre les dents et par le fait de pouvoir utiliser un cure-dents, si nécessaire; ces deux fonctions importantes ne sont pas proposées par ces différents systèmes. In addition, a non-negligible part of dental hygiene is provided by the use of a fluorinated nylon thread between the teeth and by being able to use a toothpick, if necessary; these two important functions are not offered by these different systems.
La présente invention répond à toutes ces questions en proposant d'une part un dispositif de nettoyage dentaire à usage unique composé d'une brosse à dents faisant aussi office de cure-dents, d'un court de fabrication réduit de par sa conception simplifiée à l'extrême, ce qui est capital pour prétendre à la notion d'usage unique, et d'autre part, son conditionnement stérile à double compartiment, l'un pour le dispositif de nettoyage dentaire, l'autre pour la pâte dentifrice, ces 2 compartiments s'ouvrant ensemble en tirant sur un fil de nylon fluoré à usage dentaire traversant le conditionnement d'un bout à l'autre dans le sens de la longueur. The present invention answers all these questions by proposing on the one hand a disposable dental cleaning device composed of a toothbrush also acting as a toothpick, a short of manufacturing reduced by its simplified design to the extreme, which is essential to claim the concept of single use, and on the other hand, its sterile double compartment packaging, one for the dental cleaning device, the other for the toothpaste, these 2 compartments opening together by pulling on a fluorinated nylon thread for dental use crossing the packaging from end to end lengthwise.
La présente invention comporte donc quatre facteurs indispensables à une hygiène dentaire poussée, à savoir:
1) l'usage de la brosse à dents avec pâte dentifrice,
2) l'usage du cure-dents,
3) l'usage du fil de nylon fluoré à usage dentaire,
4) le tout présenté dans un conditionnement stérile, ce qui exclue les risques de contamination microbienne dans la bouche de l'utilisateur.The present invention therefore comprises four factors essential for advanced dental hygiene, namely:
1) the use of the toothbrush with toothpaste,
2) the use of the toothpick,
3) the use of fluorinated nylon thread for dental use,
4) all presented in sterile packaging, which excludes the risks of microbial contamination in the mouth of the user.
A cet effet, le dispositif de nettoyage dentaire à usage unique et son conditionnement stérile, objet de l'invention, comprend essentiellement 2 éléments:
Le premier élément est le dispositif de nettoyage dentaire réalisable à partir d'un tuyau de matière plastique, rigide, rond, creux et malléable à chaud, de type polypropylène isotactique par exemple, dont l'une des extrémités est garnie de poils de nylon. Ces poils de nylon ont été introduits et bloqués dans cette extrémité du tuyau creux et en dépassent de manière à former une brosse.To this end, the disposable dental cleaning device and its sterile packaging, object of the invention, essentially comprises 2 elements:
The first element is the dental cleaning device which can be produced from a plastic pipe, rigid, round, hollow and malleable when hot, of the isotactic polypropylene type for example, one end of which is filled with nylon bristles. These nylon bristles have been introduced and blocked in this end of the hollow pipe and protrude from it so as to form a brush.
Selon une forme de réalisation de l'invention cette même extrémité subit une pression et une pliure à chaud qui d'une part lui donne une courbure par rapport à l'axe de la partie de tuyau faisant office de manche et d'autre part enserre les poils de nylon pour les maintenir solidement: le résultat de cette opération étant la création de la partie brosse à dents du dispositif de nettoyage dentaire. According to an embodiment of the invention this same end undergoes a pressure and a hot bending which on the one hand gives it a curvature with respect to the axis of the part of pipe acting as a handle and on the other hand grip nylon bristles to hold them securely: the result of this operation is the creation of the toothbrush part of the dental cleaning device.
La partie du tuyau opposée aux poils de nylon présente facultativement des striures facilitants la tenue par les doigts et, selon une caractéristique de l'invention, son extrémité est taillée en biseau afin de faire office de cure-dents. The part of the pipe opposite to the nylon bristles optionally has ridges facilitating the holding by the fingers and, according to a characteristic of the invention, its end is cut in a bevel in order to act as toothpick.
A titre d'exemple les dimensions du dispositif de nettoyage dentaire à usage unique peuvent être: pour la longueur d'environ 85 mm, pour le diamètre du tuyau d'environ 6 mm, pour la longueur totale des poils de nylon introduits dans l'extrémité du tuyau en matière plastique, coté brosse, d'environ 16 mm, pour la partie de ces mêmes poils de nylon dépassant de l'extrémité du tuyau et faisant office de brosse la longueur, peut être d'environ 8 mm, quand à la courbure du tuyau, obtenue par la pression et la pliure à chaud, elle peut former un angle compris entre environ 60 et 90". By way of example, the dimensions of the disposable dental cleaning device can be: for the length of approximately 85 mm, for the diameter of the hose of approximately 6 mm, for the total length of the nylon bristles introduced into the end of the plastic pipe, brush side, about 16 mm, for the part of these same nylon bristles protruding from the end of the pipe and serving as a brush the length, may be about 8 mm, when the curvature of the pipe, obtained by pressure and hot bending, it can form an angle between about 60 and 90 ".
Le deuxième élément est le conditionnement stérile à double compartiment, réalisé à partir de matière plastique fine et souple, ou en aluminium, ou combinant aluminium et matière plastique souple, ou d'une matière non polluante adéquate. The second element is the sterile double compartment packaging, made from fine and flexible plastic, or aluminum, or combining aluminum and flexible plastic, or from an adequate non-polluting material.
Les deux compartiments du conditionnement stérile sont fermés de manière hermétique et sont séparés aussi de manière hermétique. The two compartments of the sterile packaging are hermetically closed and are also hermetically separated.
Le premier compartiment reçoit le dispositif de nettoyage dentaire à usage unique, le deuxième plus petit, et d'une contenance adéquate est remplie d'une dose de pâte dentifrice. The first compartment receives the disposable dental cleaning device, the second smaller, and of adequate capacity is filled with a dose of toothpaste.
Une des caractéristiques de l'invention est que l'ouverture des deux compartiments du conditionnement stérile s'obtient de façon aisée et simultanée au moyen d'un fil de nylon fluoré à usage dentaire. One of the characteristics of the invention is that the opening of the two compartments of the sterile packaging is obtained easily and simultaneously by means of a fluorinated nylon thread for dental use.
A cet effet ce fil de nylon fluoré à usage dentaire traverse les deux compartiments du conditionnement, de part en part, dans le sens de la longueur, en étant fixé solidement au conditionnement à l'une de ses extrémités et dépassant de l'autre afin de pouvoir être saisi aisément. For this purpose, this fluorinated nylon thread for dental use passes through the two compartments of the packaging, from side to side, lengthwise, being firmly fixed to the packaging at one of its ends and projecting from the other in order to be able to be entered easily.
En tirant dessus, on ouvre aisément et ensemble, par déchirure, les deux compartiments du conditionnement stérile, libérant ainsi le dispositif de nettoyage dentaire à usage unique et sa dose de pâte dentifrice. By pulling on it, the two compartments of the sterile packaging are easily opened and together by tearing, thereby releasing the disposable dental cleaning device and its dose of toothpaste.
Dans tous les cas, l'invention sera mieux comprise grâce à la description suivante qui fait référence aux schémas annexés, figurant à titre d'exemple non limitatif, une forme de réalisation de ce dispositif de nettoyage dentaire à usage unique et son conditionnement stérile.
