DESCRIZIONE DESCRIPTION

DISPOSITIVO DI PULIZIA DENTALE DENTAL CLEANING DEVICE

La presente invenzione ha per oggetto un dispositivo di pulizia dentale del tipo precisato nel preambolo della prima rivendicazione. The present invention relates to a dental cleaning device of the type specified in the preamble of the first claim.

Sono attualmente noti diversi dispositivi atti a consentire la pulizia dei denti ed in generale della bocca. Various devices are currently known which are suitable for allowing cleaning of the teeth and of the mouth in general.

Essi sono generalmente costituiti dai noti spazzolini da denti. They generally consist of the well-known toothbrushes.

Questi ultimi comprendono una spazzola avente una superficie di pulizia di dimensioni inferiori al centimetro quadrato. The latter comprise a brush having a cleaning surface smaller than one square centimeter.

Come noto, la superficie dello spazzolino viene ricoperta da una soluzione colloidale, generalmente denominata dentifricio, e viene strofinata in corrispondenza dei denti e delle gengive cosÃ¬ da pulire e disinfettare gli stessi. As known, the surface of the toothbrush is covered with a colloidal solution, generally called toothpaste, and is rubbed in correspondence with the teeth and gums so as to clean and disinfect them.

Sono inoltre noti gli spazzolini da denti automatici od elettrici, che comprendono una spazzola parzialmente movimentata da un motore elettrico. Also known are automatic or electric toothbrushes, which comprise a brush partially moved by an electric motor.

La tecnica nota sopra citata presenta alcuni importanti inconvenienti. The aforementioned known technique has some important drawbacks.

Infatti, gli spazzolini da denti, sia automatici che manuali, puliscono correttamente denti e gengive solo se utilizzati con molta attenzione. In fact, both automatic and manual toothbrushes clean teeth and gums correctly only if used very carefully.

Ad esempio, Ã ̈ necessario ripetere i movimenti di spazzolamento su tutti i denti e sulla totalitÃ della superficie di ogni dente. For example, it is necessary to repeat the brushing movements on all teeth and on the entire surface of each tooth.

Inoltre, Ã ̈ necessario spazzolare gli stessi denti in determinate direzioni in modo tale da non rovinare lo smalto dei denti e da eliminare il tartaro e la placca superficiale. In addition, it is necessary to brush the same teeth in certain directions so as not to damage the tooth enamel and to eliminate tartar and surface plaque.

Ne consegue che, molto frequentemente, i denti non sono correttamente lavati e si creano conseguentemente accumuli batterici in corrispondenza degli stessi. It follows that, very frequently, the teeth are not properly washed and consequently bacterial accumulations are created in correspondence with them.

tono infine dispositivi, come quello descritto nel brevetto DE 10230736 A1 , che accolgono al loro interno rcata lavandola grazie ad una particolari spazzole, simili a quelle presenti nei classici spazzolini da denti. finally, devices, such as the one described in the DE 10230736 A1 patent, which receive the washing machine inside them thanks to a particular brush, similar to those present in the classic toothbrushes.
