Abstract
A fingerstall for cleaning the teeth is made from an elasticised stocking-like material in a continuous length using the spun or attached fibres between the fingerstalls as a form of dental floss for cleaning in between the teeth. The fingerstalls being dispensed from a container with a cut-off mechanism so that an individual fingerstall with an attached piece for use as dental floss is dispensed. The material of the fingerstall may be made of layers of thin micro-mesh or one thickly woven web. The fingerstalls may be impregnated with dentifrices, oils or crystals to aid oral hygiene. The fingerstalls may be lined with a non-permeable substance to avoid interactive contact with bodily fluids of humans or animals.
Description
Page 1 of 2 A Disposable/Re-useable Oral Hygiene Accessory The fmger
stocking (1) is an oral hygiene accessory for cleaning the oral cavity and refreshing the mouth.
The finger stocking is for use anywhere but especially where the use of toilet facilities are importune or redundant.
The finger stocking may be used for cleaning the teeth.
The finger stocking may be used for cleaning the tongue.
The finger stocking may be used for cleaning the gums.
The fmger stocking may be used for massaging the gums.
The finger stocking may be used for cleaning the teeth and gums of animals.
The finger stocking may be manufactured with a polymeric amides micro mesh tail, (2) which, when made taught may be used as a cleanser between the teeth, like a dental floss or tape.
The tale (2) of the fmger stocking, if used, scours and cleans the sides of the teeth and traps any dental plaque or tartar. It will also trap, between the fibres of the polymeric amides micro mesh, pieces of stuck food or debris.
The fmger stocking may or may not be lined with a non permeable liner to avoid contact with bodily fluids thus and enabling one person to use the finger stocking on another person or animal.
The finger stocking is an oral cavity cleaning aid which can be made for the tip of a finger or the length of a finger ( 3) formed from a single thick weave or thinner layers of weaved polymeric amides micro mesh denier (nylon, rayon, silk) including an elastomer or elastin within the weaving production ( such as lycraTM) which should fit over most fingers or finger tips. This finger stocking may or may not be treated with dentrifice, oils or crystals to assist with the oral hygiene required.
The finger stockings should be encapsulated in a small convenient package such like a plastic container with a pop up lid with a simple pull through cut off mechanism (4 & 5) The finger stocking aids with oral hygiene by trapping dental plaque or tarter in the thickness of the polymeric amides micro mesh and could if required be washed and used again just like a pair of ladies stockings. Anyone can try out the idea of the finger stocking (especially first thing in the morning) by wrapping the thickest part of a ladies stocking or tights around a finger and using a brushing motion wipe their teeth. especially the rear molars, to feel how quickly and how clean their teeth are after use.
