Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

The present invention relates to a gum massager.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, at home, a person puts a finger into the mouth and massages the gums by rubbing the gums with the fingertips, thereby increasing the blood circulation of the gums and preventing gum inflammation and diseases such as alveolar purulence. You are doing.

[0003] However, in the conventional method of massaging a gum using a fingertip, it is necessary to wash hands with soap or the like every time the gum is massaged because bacteria are attached to fingers. Therefore, if you try to massage frequently, you have to wash your hands many times, and your hands may be ruined.
There is also a problem that if the fingertip is injured, massage cannot be performed.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of such circumstances, the present invention provides a gum massaging device which can obtain a massage effect similar to that of a fingertip massage without directly exposing the person's finger to the mouth. It is intended to provide.

[0005]

Means for Solving the Problems In order to achieve such an object, a gum massaging device according to the first aspect of the present invention (hereinafter referred to as "the gum massaging device of the first aspect")
A) has a finger-shaped massaging portion inserted into the mouth along the gums, and a grip portion connected to the massaging portion, and the massage surface of the massaging portion has irregularities. did.

Further, in the gum massaging device according to the first aspect, the massaging portion may be formed by imitating a fingertip of a real person as in the second aspect.

[0007] In the gum massaging device according to the first and second aspects, it is preferable that at least the massage surface is formed of a material having such an elasticity as not to damage the gums. As a material having such elasticity, a rubber material having excellent corrosion resistance such as silicone rubber is preferable.

On the other hand, the gum massaging device according to the invention of claim 3 of the present invention (hereinafter referred to as "the gum massaging device of claim 3") is attached to a finger so as to surround at least the tip of the finger. Irregularities are formed on a flexible sack portion and a portion corresponding to a belly of a finger tip of the sack portion. The gum massage device of claim 3 is preferably made of a rubber material having excellent corrosion resistance, such as silicone rubber.

[0009]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Embodiments of the present invention will be described below.
This will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the gum massage device of claim 1.

As shown in FIG. 1, the gum massaging device A includes a massaging portion 1 and a grip portion 2. The massage unit 1 has a forefinger shape, and a massage surface 11 provided at the tip of the massage unit 1 includes:
Fingerprint-like irregularities 12 are formed.

The grip portion 2 is designed to be held by a user with a hand, and is provided at a rear end portion thereof with a hook hole (not shown) provided on a wall surface of a washroom or the like. 21 are formed. The main body 3 of the gum massaging tool A is made of an elastic material which is excellent in corrosion resistance such as silicone rubber or synthetic resin elastomer and which has been subjected to an antibacterial treatment. (Not shown)
Insert molded.

Further, the gum massaging device A takes a male pattern of the index finger of the user of the gum massaging device A in advance, and forms irregularities corresponding to the male massaging surface 11, and then forms the male model and the grip portion 2. A mold having a cavity with a shape connected to the mold is manufactured. Next, it is formed by injecting an elastic material into the cavity with the core material inserted into the cavity of the mold.

[0013] Since the gum massaging device A is configured as described above, after applying salt or a drug for preventing alveolar pyorrhea to the massaging surface 11, the user holds the grip portion 2 and puts the massaging portion 1 into the mouth. By moving the handle 2 back and forth while pressing the massage surface 11 against the gums, the gums can be massaged hygienically without using fingers.

In addition, the massage surface 11 is provided with the irregularities 12 so that the gums can be massaged more efficiently by supporting the irregularities 12 with a salt or a drug for preventing alveolar pyorrhea. In addition, the gum massaging device A fits the size of the mouth because the massage part 1 is formed in the shape of the index finger of the user.

FIG. 2 shows another embodiment of the gum massaging device according to the first aspect. As shown in FIG. 2, this gum massager B is the same as the gum massager A except that the massage part 4 is curved. By doing so, the massage surface 11 comes into closer contact with the gums.

FIG. 3 shows another embodiment of the gum massaging device of the first aspect. As shown in FIG. 3, in this gum massaging tool C, the massaging part 5 with the forefinger raised is formed continuously with a grip part 6 having a shape in which the hand and the wrist in which the other fingers are bent are continuous. except,
It is the same as the gum massage tool A of FIG.

FIG. 4 shows one embodiment of the gum massaging device according to the third aspect.
One embodiment is shown. As shown in FIG.
The gum massaging device D is formed of a rubber material which has been subjected to an antibacterial treatment such as silicone rubber, and can be attached to the finger 6 so as to surround the finger 7 substantially up to the second joint. Irregularities 71 are formed in the portion corresponding to the belly of the finger tip of the portion 8.

That is, since the gum massaging device D can be worn so as to surround the finger 7, the finger 7 can be inserted into the mouth while wearing the gum massaging device D, and the gum can be massaged at the uneven portion 81. In addition, the gum can be massaged even when the finger 7 surrounded by the sack portion 8 has a wound.

The gingival massager according to the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment. For example, the above gum massage devices A to C are all formed of a rubber material that has been subjected to antibacterial treatment, but may not be subjected to antibacterial treatment. When the rubber material has not been subjected to the antibacterial treatment, it is preferable to immerse the massage part of the gingival massager in an antiseptic solution or the like before use.

In the above embodiment, the massage part is formed integrally with the handle, but the massage part may be formed detachably. In other words, if the massaging part is made detachable, if the massaging part is damaged such as abrasion, only the massaging part can be replaced, thereby reducing the cost or massaging according to the size of the mouth of the user. The part can be replaced. Of course, a brush-shaped replacement part may be provided and used as a toothbrush.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the fingerprint-like irregularities are formed on the massage surface. However, if the massage surface has an effect of gum massage and can carry a gum massage agent such as salt. The uneven shape is not particularly limited. Further, in the above-described embodiment, the male mold of the user's own finger is formed into a finger shape. However, the shape of the finger of another person such as a celebrity may be used. It does not matter.

In the above-described embodiment, each of the massage parts has a single finger shape. However, two or more massage parts may be used. It may be made flexible so that the number of finger-shaped portions used for massage can be increased or decreased.

[0023]

As described above, the gum massaging device according to the present invention is constructed as described above, so that the finger of the person is not directly exposed to the mouth, and a massage effect similar to that of the fingertip can be obtained. be able to. That is,
It is hygienic and allows frequent gum massage, even if the fingertip is injured.

In addition, since the massage surface is provided with irregularities, the gums can be efficiently massaged by carrying salt, a drug for preventing alveolar pyorrhea on the irregularities, and the like.
