Titre title

Brosse à dents avec dentifrice intégré Toothbrush with integrated toothpaste

Description Description

L'invention consiste en un dispositif permettant de se brosser les dents avec une brosse S contenant du dentifrice à l'intérieur du manche. Les précédentes brosses avec dentifrice intégré ne permettaient qu'un petit nombre de brossage et étaient coûteuses car complexes à fabriquer. Le dispositif selon l'invention permet de remédier à cet inconvénient. Il comporte en effet selon une première caractéristique un manche creux (donc moins de matière plastique) sur toute À o sa longueur qui permet de contenir une grande quantité de dentifrice. De plus l'utilisation d'une vis d'Archimède permet d'obtenir du dentifrice par un mouvement de rotation au lieu de pression ce qui évite des gaspillages. D'autre part la fabrication ne nécessite que du plastique (pas de ressort, métal...). Selon des modes particuliers de réalisation : 4S - le manche sera de forme cylindrique à l'intérieur mais devra avoir une forme extérieure adaptée à la main. - des trous dans la base de la brosse permettront au dentifrice de sortir, leur nombre, leur forme et leur disposition étant à définir avec le partenaire industriel. - la vis d'Archimède dans le corps creux et coaxiale à ce dernier permet par sa rotation de faire c. U avancer le dentifrice vers la brosse et de sortir par les trous - un ensemble d'ailettes dont le nombre, la forme et l'espacement est à définir - un système permettra à la vis après clippage dans le corps de ne plus en sortir. The invention consists of a device for brushing teeth with a brush S containing toothpaste inside the handle. Previous brushes with integrated toothpaste allowed only a small number of brushing and were expensive as complex to manufacture. The device according to the invention overcomes this disadvantage. It comprises in fact according to a first feature a hollow handle (therefore less plastic) on any o its length which can contain a large amount of toothpaste. In addition the use of an Archimedean screw makes it possible to obtain toothpaste by a rotational movement instead of pressure which avoids wastage. On the other hand the manufacture requires only plastic (no spring, metal ...). According to particular embodiments: 4S - the handle will be cylindrical inside but must have an external shape adapted to the hand. - holes in the base of the brush will allow the toothpaste out, their number, shape and disposition to be defined with the industrial partner. - The Archimedes screw in the hollow body and coaxial to the latter allows its rotation to do c. U advance the toothpaste to the brush and exit through the holes - a set of fins whose number, shape and spacing is to be defined - a system will allow the screw after clipping into the body to no longer get out.

Les dessins annexés illustrent l'invention : La figure 1 représente en coupe longitudinale, le dispositif de l'invention. 2 S La figure 2 représente en coupe transversale, le dispositif de l'invention. La figure 3 représente en vue de dessus, le dispositif de l'invention. The accompanying drawings illustrate the invention: FIG. 1 represents in longitudinal section, the device of the invention. 2 shows in cross section, the device of the invention. 3 shows a top view of the device of the invention.

En référence à ces dessins, le dispositif comporte un manche creux (1) servant de réservoir au dentifrice présentant d'un côté un orifice (2) permettant d'insérer la vis d'Archimède (3) et de l'autre côté de trous (4) dans la brosse d'où sort le dentifrice. Le manche présente un 3 o creux annulaire (5) où l'épaulement annulaire de la vis (6) se clippe à l'insertion de la vis dans le manche, de l'autre côté un trou borgne (7) permet le bon maintien de la vis dans le manche. La vis présente un petit dépassement (8) pour rentrer dans le trou borgne et de l'autre côté une excroissance (9) épousant la forme des doigts permettant de tourner la vis. Cette dernière excroissance peut aussi permettre au maintien en position verticale de la brosse une fois celle-ci 3 ç posée. La brosse a donc, afin de contenir suffisamment de dentifrice, un diamètre conséquent mais restera fine (10) sur 7 à 8 cm en bout de brosse afin de ne pas causer de gêne pour l'usager. Enfin un système d'ailettes (11) disposées sur les pièces (1) et (3) permet d'émettre un cliquetis à chaque rotation de la vis permettant de donner une information sensorielle et auditive à l'utilisateur (on évite ainsi de tourner trop vite et de gaspiller) et pouvant empêcher la rotation t(p dans un sens. 2938410 -2- With reference to these drawings, the device comprises a hollow handle (1) serving as a reservoir for the toothpaste having on one side an orifice (2) for inserting the Archimedean screw (3) and on the other side of holes (4) in the brush from which the toothpaste comes out. The handle has a 3 o annular recess (5) where the annular shoulder of the screw (6) is clipped to the insertion of the screw in the handle, on the other side a blind hole (7) allows the good maintenance of the screw in the handle. The screw has a small protrusion (8) to enter the blind hole and on the other side a protrusion (9) matching the shape of the fingers to turn the screw. This last protuberance can also allow the maintenance in vertical position of the brush once it 3 ç posed. The brush has, therefore, to contain enough toothpaste, a large diameter but will remain thin (10) 7 to 8 cm at the end of the brush so as not to cause discomfort to the user. Finally, a system of fins (11) arranged on the parts (1) and (3) makes it possible to emit a rattling noise at each rotation of the screw making it possible to give sensory and auditory information to the user (this avoids turning too fast and waste) and can prevent rotation t (p in one direction.

La brosse aura pour taille maximale celle d'une brosse électrique. La rotation de la vis permet de faire émerger le dentifrice par les trous dans la brosse. Le dispositif selon l'invention est particulièrement destiné au brossage de dents de façon pratique, discrète et écologique (moins de plastique dans la brosse et emballage du dentifrice (tS supprimé). The brush will have for maximum size that of an electric brush. The rotation of the screw makes it possible to emerge the toothpaste through the holes in the brush. The device according to the invention is particularly intended for brushing teeth conveniently, discreetly and ecologically (less plastic in the brush and packaging toothpaste (tS deleted).
