JP-A-8-308863 (Claim 1). JP 2002-45378 A (Claim 1). JP 2001-299784 A (Claim 1).

As a method for cleaning teeth and gums, brushing with a toothbrush is generally used, but there is a problem that brushing inevitably causes non-contact parts and cleaning residue at non-contact parts. It was.

Therefore, a mechanism for cleaning the teeth by spraying a cleaning liquid onto the teeth has been devised as disclosed in “JP-A-2002-45378” published as a device for cleaning teeth. When washing with teeth in the groove, the cleaning method by jetting liquid is popular due to the problem of drainage from the oral cavity and the problem of requiring a user-specific shape due to the structure of the upper and lower grooves bent along the teeth There was no current situation.

  Therefore, in the present invention, in cleaning teeth and gums, a liquid flow having a simple structure that can accommodate many people in one shape is used in order to spread it as a cleaning tool for daily dental maintenance activities in daily life. It is an object to realize a cleaning tool for used teeth and gums.

The cleaning tool for cleaning teeth and gums according to the present invention cleans teeth and gums having a recess capable of inserting teeth into the head of the cleaning tool and having two or more holes in the recess surface for ejecting liquid. The first feature of the cleaning tool is that the recess 10 of the cleaning tool head 11 having the recess 10 can freely change the angle with respect to the bracket 12 that holds the cleaning tool head 11.

A second feature of the cleaning tool for cleaning teeth and gums according to the present invention is that the ejection direction of all holes for ejecting the liquid provided in the recess 10 of the cleaning tool head 11 is directed to the recess surface. Is not ejected directly from the hole to the outside of the head 11 of the cleaning tool.

A third feature of the cleaning tool for cleaning teeth and gums according to the present invention is that the liquid flow intake port 13 provided in the bracket 12 can capture the liquid flow from the liquid supply source via the hose.

A fourth feature of the cleaning tool for cleaning teeth and gums according to the present invention resides in that the liquid flow intake port 13 provided in the bracket 12 can capture the liquid flow from the fountain port of the shower.

  A fifth feature of the cleaning tool for cleaning teeth and gums according to the present invention includes a tank 14 for putting cleaning liquid into the bracket 12 and is supplied to a hole 15 for ejecting liquid in the recess 10 of the cleaning tool head 11. The liquid channel 16 and the tank 14 are connected to each other.

  According to the present invention, the recess 10 of the cleaning tool head 11 having the recess 10 can freely change the angle with respect to the bracket 12 that holds the cleaning tool head 11. The concave portion 10 of the cleaning tool head 11 can be disposed in a state of covering each of the teeth at any position in the upper, lower, left and right directions, and is very easy to use.

Further, in the present invention, since the ejection direction of all the holes for ejecting the liquid provided in the concave portion 10 of the cleaning tool head 11 is directed to the concave surface, the liquid is not directly ejected from the cleaning tool head 11. Even if a liquid is flowed before putting the tool head 11 into the oral cavity, the liquid is not scattered from the cleaning tool head 11 and is easy to handle. It is possible to flow warm water before entering the oral cavity and check the temperature, and then enter the oral cavity, which is very useful from the viewpoint of safety.

  Further, in the present invention, since the liquid flow intake port 13 provided in the bracket 12 can take in the liquid flow from the liquid supply source via the hose, the domestic bath faucet can be used as the liquid supply source. Will be very easy.

  Further, according to the present invention, the liquid flow intake port 13 provided in the bracket 12 can take in the liquid flow from the shower fountain port, and the cleaning tool of the present invention is attached to the shower fountain port of the bath. By adopting this method, the cleaning tool can be greatly reduced in size and can be a cleaning jig that can be used like a toothbrush.

  Further, according to the present invention, the tank 14 for putting the cleaning liquid into the bracket 12 is provided, and the cleaning liquid can be mixed into the liquid flow, so that the cleaning effect by the cleaning liquid can also be obtained.
