Description

本発明は、歯ブラシ、特に、奥歯の磨き易さを向上させるように構成された歯ブラシに関する。 The present invention relates to toothbrushes, in particular toothbrushes configured to improve the ease of brushing molars.

上記歯ブラシとして、例えば、特許文献１に開示されているような、厚みが薄い小型のヘッド（歯ブラシヘッド部）を備えた歯ブラシが知られている。 As the toothbrush, for example, a toothbrush having a small head (toothbrush head portion) having a thin thickness as disclosed in Patent Document 1 is known.

かかる歯ブラシによれば、歯ブラシヘッド部が小型であるから、歯ブラシの先端側を口に挿し込んだ際に歯ブラシヘッド部が奥歯の手前側の歯等に干渉し難くなるため、歯ブラシヘッド部が奥歯に届き易くなり、毛束が奥歯に当たり易くなる。 According to such a toothbrush, since the toothbrush head portion is small, when the tip side of the toothbrush is inserted into the mouth, the toothbrush head portion does not easily interfere with the teeth on the front side of the back teeth, so that the toothbrush head portion is the back teeth. It becomes easier for the hair bundle to reach the back teeth.

このように、上記構成の歯ブラシは、奥歯への毛束の当て易さを高めることで、奥歯の磨き易さを向上させることができるようになっている。 As described above, the toothbrush having the above configuration can improve the ease of brushing the back teeth by increasing the ease of applying the hair bundle to the back teeth.

特開２０１３−３４７１８号公報Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2013-34718

ところで、上記従来の歯ブラシにおいて、歯ブラシヘッド部は、厚みを薄くしている分剛性が低くなっているため、毛束を歯に押し付けた際に歯ブラシヘッド部がネックに対して外側に反るようにして撓んでしまうことがある。 By the way, in the above-mentioned conventional toothbrush, the toothbrush head portion has a lower rigidity due to the thinner thickness, so that the toothbrush head portion warps outward with respect to the neck when the hair bundle is pressed against the tooth. It may bend.

この場合、使用者が歯ブラシに込めた力は、毛束に伝わる前に歯ブラシヘッド部の撓みによって減少してしまうため、毛束が奥歯に当たっていても、奥歯の汚れを落とせないことがある。 In this case, the force applied to the toothbrush by the user is reduced by the bending of the toothbrush head portion before being transmitted to the hair bundle, so that even if the hair bundle hits the back teeth, it may not be possible to remove the dirt on the back teeth.

そこで、本発明は、かかる実情に鑑み、奥歯をしっかりと磨くことができる歯ブラシの提供を課題とする。 Therefore, in view of such circumstances, it is an object of the present invention to provide a toothbrush capable of firmly brushing molars.

本発明の歯ブラシは、
棒状のハンドル部と、
ハンドル部の長手方向における前端から延出するネック部と、
該ネック部の長手方向における前端につながる板状のヘッド部と、
該ヘッド部における厚み方向内側の植毛面に立設された複数の毛によって構成される刷掃部と、
前記ネック部の前記前端から、前記ヘッド部における厚み方向外側の背面の基端側に重なるようにして延出する補強部と、を備え、
前記ヘッド部は、厚みが２〜４ｍｍに設定され、且つ横幅が前記ハンドル部の横幅よりも小さくなるように設定されるとともに、前記植毛面の先端が前記植毛面の基端よりも厚み方向内側に位置するように前記ハンドル部の軸線に対して８°〜１４°傾くように形成され、
前記ネック部は、厚みと横幅が前記ハンドル部よりも小さく設定され、且つ前記前端が前記軸線よりも厚み方向内側に位置するようにして湾曲し、
前記補強部は、横幅方向において前記ネック部の前記前端よりも外側に広がる幅広部であって、前記ヘッド部の前記背面の前記刷掃部の後端よりも前後方向前方側の領域に重なるように形成された幅広部を有する。 The toothbrush of the present invention
With a rod-shaped handle
A neck part extending from the front end in the longitudinal direction of the handle part,
A plate-shaped head portion connected to the front end in the longitudinal direction of the neck portion,
A sweeping portion composed of a plurality of hairs erected on the flocked surface on the inner side in the thickness direction of the head portion.
A reinforcing portion extending from the front end of the neck portion so as to overlap the base end side of the back surface on the outer side in the thickness direction of the head portion is provided.
The thickness of the head portion is set to 2 to 4 mm, the width is set to be smaller than the width of the handle portion, and the tip of the flocked surface is inside the base end of the flocked surface in the thickness direction. It is formed so as to be tilted by 8 ° to 14 ° with respect to the axis of the handle portion so as to be located at.
The neck portion is curved so that the thickness and width are set smaller than the handle portion and the front end is located inside in the thickness direction with respect to the axis.
The reinforcing portion is a wide portion that extends outward from the front end of the neck portion in the lateral width direction, and overlaps the region on the front side in the front-rear direction with respect to the rear end of the sweep portion on the back surface of the head portion. It has a wide portion formed.

上記構成の歯ブラシでは、ヘッド部が、厚み２〜４ｍｍであり、且つ横幅が前記ハンドル部の横幅よりも小さくなるように形成された、厚みと横幅が小さい小型のものであるため、歯ブラシを口に挿し込んだ際にヘッド部が歯と頬の間に入り易くなっている。 In the toothbrush having the above configuration, the head portion is a small one having a thickness of 2 to 4 mm and a width smaller than the width of the handle portion, and the thickness and width are small. The head part is easy to get between the teeth and cheeks when it is inserted into.

また、ヘッド部は、湾曲するネック部の前端に連続し、且つハンドル部の軸線よりも厚み方向内側に位置するとともに、植毛面の基端よりも先端の方が前記厚み方向内側に位置するように８°〜１４°傾いているため、ヘッド部を歯の並びに沿わせて口の奥まで進入させ易くなっている。 Further, the head portion is continuous with the front end of the curved neck portion and is located inside the axis of the handle portion in the thickness direction, and the tip portion is located inside the thickness direction of the base end of the flocked surface. Since it is tilted by 8 ° to 14 °, it is easy to move the head part along the line of teeth to the back of the mouth.

さらに、ヘッド部の基端部の背面にはネック部の前端から延出する補強部が幅広く重なっているため、ヘッド部の基端部は、厚みが増すことによって剛性が高められている。そのため、毛束を歯に押し付けた際にネック部に対するヘッド部の撓みを防止することができ、これにより、使用者によって歯ブラシに込められた力の減少を抑えたうえで、この力を刷掃部に伝えることができる。従って、上記構成の歯ブラシによれば、刷掃部の毛を奥歯の裏側まで届かせたうえで、奥歯全体を刷掃部によって十分な力で磨くことができる。 Further, since the reinforcing portion extending from the front end of the neck portion is widely overlapped on the back surface of the base end portion of the head portion, the rigidity of the base end portion of the head portion is increased by increasing the thickness. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the head portion from bending with respect to the neck portion when the hair bundle is pressed against the teeth, thereby suppressing a decrease in the force applied to the toothbrush by the user and then applying this force to the wiping portion. Can be told to. Therefore, according to the toothbrush having the above configuration, the bristles of the brushing portion can reach the back side of the back teeth, and then the entire back teeth can be brushed with sufficient force by the brushing portion.

以上のように、上記構成の歯ブラシは、奥歯の裏側であっても刷掃部の毛を当てて汚れを落とし易くすることによって、奥歯の磨き残しを減らすことができるようになっている。 As described above, the toothbrush having the above configuration can reduce the amount of unpolished back teeth by applying the bristles of the brushing portion to make it easier to remove dirt even on the back side of the back teeth.

補強前側領域６１では、前後方向前方側に向かうにつれて横幅が徐々に狭くなり、厚みも前後方向前方側に向かうにつれて徐々に狭くなっている。 In the reinforcement front side region 61, the lateral width gradually narrows toward the front side in the front-rear direction, and the thickness also gradually narrows toward the front side in the front-rear direction.

補強後側領域６２では、前後方向後方側に向かうにつれて横幅が徐々に狭くなり、且つ基端の横幅がネック部３の先端と同じ横幅となっている。 In the reinforced rear region 62, the width gradually narrows toward the rear side in the front-rear direction, and the width of the base end is the same as the width of the tip of the neck portion 3.

また、補強部６は、横幅方向を基準とすれば、横幅方向において中央部に位置する補強中部６３と、横幅方向における補強中部６３の両側に連続し、且つ補強中部６３よりも急勾配となるように形成された補強縁部６４と、を有する（図６参照）。 Further, the reinforcing portion 6 is continuous on both sides of the reinforcing central portion 63 located in the central portion in the lateral width direction and the reinforcing central portion 63 in the lateral width direction, and has a steeper slope than the reinforcing central portion 63, based on the lateral width direction. It has a reinforcing edge portion 64 formed as described above (see FIG. 6).

補強中部６３と、ネック部３の背面３０とは、互いの境目に段差なく連続することで、１つの曲面を形成している。 The reinforcing central portion 63 and the back surface 30 of the neck portion 3 are continuous with each other without a step at the boundary thereof to form one curved surface.

補強中部６３は、最大幅部６０に含まれる部分の横幅が最も広くなるように形成されており、補強中部６３のうちの最大幅部６０よりも前後方向前方側の横幅は、前端側に向かうにつれて徐々に狭くなっている。一方で、補強中部６３のうちの最大幅部６０よりも前後方向後方側の横幅は、基端側から前方に向かうにつれて徐々に広くなっている。 The reinforcing central portion 63 is formed so that the width of the portion included in the maximum width portion 60 is the widest, and the lateral width on the front side in the front-rear direction of the maximum width portion 60 of the reinforcing central portion 63 is directed toward the front end side. It is getting narrower gradually. On the other hand, the lateral width of the reinforcing central portion 63 on the rear side in the front-rear direction with respect to the maximum width portion 60 gradually increases from the proximal end side toward the front.

また、補強縁部６４は、最大幅部６０に含まれる部分（前後方向における中央部）が、前後方向における前端と後端よりも横幅方向外側に位置するように湾曲している。すなわち、横幅方向外側に凸となるように湾曲している。 Further, the reinforcing edge portion 64 is curved so that the portion included in the maximum width portion 60 (the central portion in the front-rear direction) is located outside the front end and the rear end in the front-rear direction in the width direction. That is, it is curved so as to be convex outward in the width direction.

補強部６は、ヘッド部４を厚み方向で真っ直ぐ見たときに、幅広部が踵部５２と重なる位置に形成されている。また、本実施形態の補強部６は、最大幅部６０が刷掃部５の後端（踵部５２の最後部に位置する毛束５０の後端）よりも前後方向前方側、より具体的には、刷掃部５の後端と脇部５４の後端の間に位置するように形成されている。なお、本実施形態の最大幅部６０は、ヘッド部４を厚み方向からみたときに、踵部５２の最も後ろ側に位置する毛束５０と重なる位置を通るようにして形成されている。 The reinforcing portion 6 is formed at a position where the wide portion overlaps the heel portion 52 when the head portion 4 is viewed straight in the thickness direction. Further, in the reinforcing portion 6 of the present embodiment, the maximum width portion 60 is more specifically on the front side in the front-rear direction than the rear end of the sweeping portion 5 (the rear end of the hair bundle 50 located at the rearmost portion of the heel portion 52). Is formed so as to be located between the rear end of the sweep portion 5 and the rear end of the side portion 54. The maximum width portion 60 of the present embodiment is formed so as to pass through a position where the head portion 4 overlaps with the hair bundle 50 located on the rearmost side of the heel portion 52 when viewed from the thickness direction.

また、最大幅部６０の横幅方向における両端は、ヘッド基部４２の横幅方向における両端よりも内側に位置している。補強後側領域６２（補強縁部６４の後端部）の横幅方向における両端も、ヘッド基部４２の横幅方向における両端よりも内側に位置しており、前後方向前方側に向かうにつれてヘッド基部４２の両端との間隔が広がるように形成されている。なお、横幅方向においては、刷掃部５の外端（脇部５４の外端）の配置位置が、最大幅部６０の両端よりも外側であり且つヘッド部４の外周端よりも内側となるように設定されている。 Further, both ends of the maximum width portion 60 in the lateral width direction are located inside the both ends of the head base portion 42 in the lateral width direction. Both ends in the lateral width direction of the reinforcing rear side region 62 (rear end portion of the reinforcing edge portion 64) are also located inside the both ends in the lateral width direction of the head base portion 42, and the head base portion 42 is located toward the front side in the front-rear direction. It is formed so that the distance between both ends is widened. In the horizontal width direction, the arrangement position of the outer end of the sweeping portion 5 (outer end of the side portion 54) is outside both ends of the maximum width portion 60 and inside the outer peripheral end of the head portion 4. Is set to.

ここで、歯ブラシ１の各構成同士の寸法関係、位置関係について説明する。 Here, the dimensional relationship and the positional relationship between the configurations of the toothbrush 1 will be described.

ヘッド部４は、図７に示すように、植毛面４０がハンドル軸線Ａに対して８°傾くように形成されており、植毛面４０は、先端が後端よりも厚み方向内側に位置するように傾斜している。なお、ハンドル軸線Ａに対するヘッド部４の傾きは、８°〜１４°（本実施形態では８°）に設定されていればよい。 As shown in FIG. 7, the head portion 4 is formed so that the flocked surface 40 is tilted by 8 ° with respect to the handle axis A, and the tip of the flocked surface 40 is located inside the rear end in the thickness direction. It is inclined to. The inclination of the head portion 4 with respect to the handle axis A may be set to 8 ° to 14 ° (8 ° in this embodiment).

また、ヘッド部４の背面４１から刷掃部５の毛先までの寸法（厚み方向での寸法）は、例えば、１１.０ｍｍ〜１７.０ｍｍであればよい。なお、ヘッド部４の厚みは、３.０ｍｍ〜３．５ｍｍ、刷掃部５の厚み（植毛面４０から毛先までの毛丈）は、９.０ｍｍ〜１３.０ｍｍであればよい。なお、ヘッド部４の厚みと刷掃部５の厚みとは、１：３であることが好ましい。 The dimension (dimension in the thickness direction) from the back surface 41 of the head portion 4 to the tip of the bristles of the sweep portion 5 may be, for example, 11.0 mm to 17.0 mm. The thickness of the head portion 4 may be 3.0 mm to 3.5 mm, and the thickness of the sweep portion 5 (hair length from the flocked surface 40 to the tip of the hair) may be 9.0 mm to 13.0 mm. The thickness of the head portion 4 and the thickness of the sweeping portion 5 are preferably 1: 3.

さらに、刷掃部５の先端面には、ネック部３の基端部も位置している。 Further, a base end portion of the neck portion 3 is also located on the tip surface of the sweep portion 5.

図３に示すように、ヘッド部４の横幅の最大値は、ハンドル部２の横幅よりも小さくなっており、例えば、ヘッド部４の横幅は、１０.０ｍｍ〜１２.０ｍｍ、ハンドル部２の横幅は１１.０ｍｍ〜１５.０ｍｍに設定されていればよい。 As shown in FIG. 3, the maximum width of the head portion 4 is smaller than the width of the handle portion 2. For example, the width of the head portion 4 is 10.0 mm to 12.0 mm, and that of the handle portion 2. The width may be set to 11.0 mm to 15.0 mm.

また、ヘッド部４の横幅の最大値は、ネック部３の先端の横幅よりも広くなっている。なお、ネック部３は、例えば、基端の横幅が１１.０ｍｍ、先端の横幅が４．５ｍｍとなっていればよい。 Further, the maximum width of the head portion 4 is wider than the width of the tip of the neck portion 3. The neck portion 3 may have, for example, a base end having a width of 11.0 mm and a tip having a width of 4.5 mm.

本実施形態に係る歯ブラシ１の構成は、以上の通りである。本実施形態の歯ブラシ１によれば、ヘッド部４が、厚み２〜４ｍｍであり、且つ横幅が前記ハンドル部２の横幅よりも小さくなるように形成された、厚みと横幅が小さい小型のものであるため、歯ブラシ１を口に挿し込んだ際にヘッド部４が歯と頬の間に入り易くなっている。 The configuration of the toothbrush 1 according to the present embodiment is as described above. According to the toothbrush 1 of the present embodiment, the head portion 4 is a small one having a thickness and a width of 2 to 4 mm and having a width smaller than the width of the handle portion 2. Therefore, when the toothbrush 1 is inserted into the mouth, the head portion 4 easily enters between the teeth and the cheeks.

また、ヘッド部４は、湾曲するネック部３の前端に連続し、且つハンドル部２の軸線よりも厚み方向内側に位置するとともに、植毛面４０の基端よりも先端の方が前記厚み方向内側に位置するように８°傾いているため、ヘッド部４を歯の並びに沿わせて口の奥まで進入させ易くなっている。 Further, the head portion 4 is continuous with the front end of the curved neck portion 3 and is located inside in the thickness direction with respect to the axis of the handle portion 2, and the tip is inside with respect to the base end of the flocked surface 40 in the thickness direction. Since it is tilted by 8 ° so as to be located at, it is easy to allow the head portion 4 to enter the back of the mouth along the alignment of the teeth.

このように、上記構成の歯ブラシ１は、ヘッド部４を口の奥深くまで進入させ易くすることによって、刷掃部５の毛先を奥歯の後ろ側に回り込ませ易くなっている。なお、ネック部３が歯の並びに合わせて厚み方向外側に湾曲していることから、使用者がハンドル部２を回して歯を磨くとき（いわゆる、ローリング法により歯を磨くとき）に歯に対するネック部３の干渉を抑えつつ、ヘッド部４を大きく旋回させることにより、歯を十分な力で磨くことができるようになる。 As described above, the toothbrush 1 having the above configuration makes it easy for the head portion 4 to penetrate deep into the mouth so that the bristles of the sweeping portion 5 can easily wrap around behind the back teeth. Since the neck portion 3 is curved outward in the thickness direction in accordance with the alignment of the teeth, the neck for the teeth when the user brushes the teeth by turning the handle portion 2 (when brushing the teeth by the so-called rolling method). By turning the head portion 4 greatly while suppressing the interference of the portions 3, the teeth can be brushed with sufficient force.

また、刷掃部５の毛の毛丈が９．０ｍｍ〜１３．０ｍｍに設定されていることから、歯や歯茎に刷掃部の毛が当たった際、毛腰が硬すぎず、且つ柔らかすぎない適度なブラッシング圧が得られるようになっている。 Further, since the hair length of the brushing portion 5 is set to 9.0 mm to 13.0 mm, when the hair of the brushing portion hits the teeth or gums, the hair is not too hard and not too soft. Appropriate brushing pressure can be obtained.

さらに、ヘッド部４の背面４１の基端部にはネック部３の前端から延出する補強部６が幅広く重なっているため、ヘッド部４の基端部は、厚みが増すことによって剛性が高められている。そのため、毛束５０を歯に押し付けた際にネック部３に対するヘッド部４の撓みを防止することができ、これにより、使用者によって歯ブラシ１に込められた力の減少を抑えたうえで、この力を刷掃部５に伝えることができる。従って、上記構成の歯ブラシ１によれば、刷掃部５の毛を奥歯の裏側まで届かせたうえで、奥歯全体を刷掃部５によって十分な力で磨くことができる。 Further, since the reinforcing portion 6 extending from the front end of the neck portion 3 is widely overlapped with the base end portion of the back surface 41 of the head portion 4, the base end portion of the head portion 4 is increased in rigidity by increasing the thickness. Has been done. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the head portion 4 from bending with respect to the neck portion 3 when the hair bundle 50 is pressed against the teeth, thereby suppressing a decrease in the force applied to the toothbrush 1 by the user. The force can be transmitted to the sweeping unit 5. Therefore, according to the toothbrush 1 having the above configuration, the bristles of the sweeping portion 5 can reach the back side of the back teeth, and then the entire back teeth can be brushed by the wiping portion 5 with sufficient force.

以上のように、本実施形態の歯ブラシ１は、奥歯の裏側であっても刷掃部５の毛を当てて汚れを落とし易くすることによって、奥歯の磨き残しを減らすことができ、これにより、奥歯をしっかりと磨くことができるという優れた効果を奏し得る。 As described above, the toothbrush 1 of the present embodiment can reduce the amount of unpolished back teeth by applying the bristles of the sweeping portion 5 to make it easier to remove dirt even on the back side of the back teeth. It can have an excellent effect of being able to polish the hair firmly.

しかも、ネック部３は、ネック部３の前端がネック部３の基端よりも厚み方向において内側に位置し且つ頂部が厚み方向において補強部６よりも外側に位置するようにして湾曲しているため、ネック部３自体も厚み方向外側への撓みが抑えられる。 Moreover, the neck portion 3 is curved so that the front end of the neck portion 3 is located inside the base end of the neck portion 3 in the thickness direction and the top portion is located outside the reinforcing portion 6 in the thickness direction. Therefore, the neck portion 3 itself is also suppressed from bending outward in the thickness direction.

また、補強中部６３とネック部３の背面３０とは、互いの境目に段差がない状態で連続することで１つの曲面を形成しているため、ヘッド部４は、いっそう厚み方向外側に撓みにくくなっている。 Further, since the reinforcing central portion 63 and the back surface 30 of the neck portion 3 are continuous with each other without a step at the boundary, the head portion 4 is more difficult to bend outward in the thickness direction. It has become.

さらに、踵部５２を使って歯を磨くとき（いわゆる、踵磨きを行うとき）、ヘッド部４の基端部には歯から厚み方向外側に押し返される力が集中するが、本実施形態の補強部６は、ヘッド部４を厚み方向で真っ直ぐ見たときに、幅広部が踵部５２と重なるように形成されているため、この場合においても、ヘッド部４の基端部がネック部３に対して厚み方向外側に撓まないようにすることができる。 Further, when brushing the teeth using the heel portion 52 (so-called heel brushing), the force pushed back from the teeth outward in the thickness direction is concentrated on the base end portion of the head portion 4, but in the present embodiment Since the reinforcing portion 6 is formed so that the wide portion overlaps the heel portion 52 when the head portion 4 is viewed straight in the thickness direction, the base end portion of the head portion 4 is also the neck portion 3 in this case as well. It can be prevented from bending outward in the thickness direction.

なお、本実施形態の補強部６では、最大幅部６０、補強前側領域６１、補強後側領域６２のうちのヘッド部４の背面４１に重なっている部分がそれぞれヘッド部４の外端よりも内側に位置しており、さらに、補強前側領域６１と補強後側領域６２とは、最大幅部６０から離れるにつれて横幅が狭くなるように丸みを帯びた形状になっている。 In the reinforcing portion 6 of the present embodiment, the portion of the maximum width portion 60, the reinforcing front side region 61, and the reinforcing rear side region 62 that overlaps the back surface 41 of the head portion 4 is larger than the outer end of the head portion 4, respectively. It is located inside, and the reinforcing front side region 61 and the reinforcing rear side region 62 have a rounded shape so that the width becomes narrower as the distance from the maximum width portion 60 increases.

そのため、口に挿し込んだ歯ブラシ１を長手方向に沿って動かすとき（例えば、口の奥に挿し込んだり、口の奥から引き抜いたり、往復同させたりするとき）に補強部６が頬や歯に干渉してしまうことを抑えることができ、歯ブラシ１をスムーズに動かすことができるようになる。 Therefore, when the toothbrush 1 inserted into the mouth is moved along the longitudinal direction (for example, when it is inserted into the back of the mouth, pulled out from the back of the mouth, or reciprocated), the reinforcing portion 6 is used for the cheeks and teeth. It is possible to prevent the toothbrush 1 from interfering with the toothbrush 1 and to move the toothbrush 1 smoothly.

また、本実施形態の歯ブラシ１では、ネック部３の長手方向における寸法が６０．０ｍｍ〜７０．０ｍｍに設定されていてるため、奥歯の裏側、口腔内の奥側の歯列に刷掃部の毛を当てることが容易となる。 Further, in the toothbrush 1 of the present embodiment, since the dimension of the neck portion 3 in the longitudinal direction is set to 60.0 mm to 70.0 mm, the bristles of the brush portion are on the back side of the back teeth and the dentition on the back side of the oral cavity. It becomes easy to guess.

さらに、ヘッド部４の背面４１から刷掃部５の刷掃面までの寸法が１１．０ｍｍ〜１７．０ｍｍに設定されていることから、奥歯の裏側や、歯列と口唇部や頬の裏側等、口腔内の狭い箇所において刷掃部の毛先を歯と歯茎に当て易くなる。 Further, since the dimension from the back surface 41 of the head portion 4 to the sweeping surface of the sweeping portion 5 is set to 11.0 mm to 17.0 mm, the back side of the back teeth, the dentition and the lip part, the back side of the cheek, etc. , It becomes easier to apply the tip of the bristles of the brush to the teeth and gums in a narrow place in the oral cavity.

なお、本発明に係る歯ブラシは、上記実施形態に限定されるものではなく、本発明の要旨を逸脱しない範囲内において種々の変更を加え得ることは勿論である。 The toothbrush according to the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and it goes without saying that various modifications can be made without departing from the gist of the present invention.

上記実施形態において、刷掃部５は、前記毛束５０の列を５つ備えるように構成されていたが、毛束５０の列の数は５列でなくてもよい。 In the above embodiment, the sweeping unit 5 is configured to include five rows of the hair bundles 50, but the number of rows of the hair bundles 50 does not have to be five.
