The cord 30 passes through the through hole 116 provided in the grip portion 110 and is electrically connected to the second electrode 126 of the battery 120 . The shape of the cord 30 is, for example, string-like. In the illustrated example, the cord 30 is a coiled curl cord that can be expanded and contracted. The material of the cord 30 is, for example, the same as that of the conductive member 20.

1.2. How to Use FIG. 6 is a diagram for explaining how to use the animal tooth brushing set 100 according to the present embodiment. Note that, for convenience, the ion toothbrush 10, the conductive member 20, and the cord 30 are illustrated in a simplified manner in FIG.

When brushing the teeth of the animal A, the user of the animal tooth brushing set 100 grips the ion toothbrush 10 with one hand (right hand in the illustrated example) RH. Furthermore, the user wears the conductive member 20, which is a wristband, on the wrist of the other hand (left hand in the illustrated example) LH. Then, while touching the animal A with the left hand LH, the user presses the button 150 to turn on the ion toothbrush 10, and brushes the teeth of the animal A with the ion toothbrush 10 held in the right hand RH. In the illustrated example, animal A is a dog.

Note that the part of the animal A that the user touches with the left hand LH is not particularly limited, but for example, the user touches the gums of the animal A with the index finger of the left hand LH. Considering the reduction in electrical resistance, it is preferable for the user to touch a part of the animal A close to the teeth, such as the gums.

When the ion toothbrush 10 brushes the teeth of the animal A, the bristles 180 of the ion toothbrush 10 become wet with the saliva of the animal A, and are electrically connected to the spindle 160 through the saliva path including the opening 173. The state becomes conductive. That is, the opening 173 is an opening for enabling electrical conduction between the brush bristles 180 and the spindle 160 using saliva as a medium. Therefore, a current flows through the ion toothbrush 10, the conductive member 20, and the animal A. Specifically, the current flows from the second electrode 126 of the battery 120 to the cord 30, the conductive member 20, the user's left hand LH, the body of the animal A, the teeth of the animal A, the brush bristles 180, and the saliva of the animal A. It flows through the path, the spindle 160, and the first electrode 124 of the battery 120. Thereby, the negative ions generated by the ionic toothbrush 10 attract positive ions in the saliva of the animal A, thereby loosening the bond between the teeth of the animal A and the negatively charged dental plaque. This allows plaque to be removed without damaging the gums without brushing with strong force.

In addition, when brushing the teeth of animal A, the user wears the conductive member 20 on his right hand, holds the ion toothbrush 10 with his left hand, and while touching animal A with his right hand, brushes the teeth of animal A with the ion toothbrush held in his left hand. You may brush your teeth.

1.3.

As a result, gingivitis can be improved and plaque can be efficiently removed.

The animal toothbrushing set 100 includes a cord 30 that electrically connects the ion toothbrush 10 and the conductive member 20. Therefore, the animal tooth brushing set 100 can brush the teeth of the animal A more easily than, for example, when the ion toothbrush and the conductive member are directly connected.

In the animal tooth brushing set 100, the ion toothbrush 10 is held in one hand RH of the user, and the conductive member 20 is a wristband worn on the wrist of the user's other hand LH. Therefore, in the tooth brushing set 100 for animals, current flows no matter which finger touches the animal A with the other hand LH, so the other hand LH has more freedom than when the conductive member is a finger cot. You can increase the degree. For example, it is possible to brush the teeth of animal A while stroking animal A with the other hand LH. Furthermore, compared to, for example, a case where the conductive member is a sheet placed under the animal A, the conductive member 20 can be made smaller.

In the tooth brushing set 100 for animals, the ionic toothbrush 10 includes a grip part 110 that is held by the user, a head part 170 that is detachably connected to the grip part 110, and bristles 180 provided on the head part 170. has. Therefore, in the animal toothbrushing set 100, when the brush bristles 180 deteriorate, the head portion 170 can be replaced, so the cost can be reduced compared to the case where the entire ion toothbrush is replaced. Furthermore, when brushing the teeth of a plurality of animals A, the tooth brushing can be performed by replacing the head section 170 for each animal A, which is hygienic.

In the animal tooth brushing set 100, the head portion 170 has a first surface 171 and a second surface 172 facing oppositely to each other, the brush bristles 180 are provided on the first surface 171, and the head portion 170 has a first surface 171 and a second surface 172 facing oppositely to each other. It is attached to the grip part 110 so as to be inclined toward the second surface 172 with respect to the longitudinal direction. Therefore, in the tooth brushing set 100 for animals, it is easier to brush the teeth of the animal A than, for example, when the head part is not inclined with respect to the longitudinal direction of the grip part or when it is inclined towards the first surface side. I can do it.

In the animal toothpaste set 100, the brush bristles 180 are preferably made of animal hair. When the brush bristles 180 are made of animal hair, there is a possibility that the animal A will dislike having the brush bristles 180 put into the oral cavity, compared to, for example, a case where the brush bristles are made of chemical fibers. , can be made smaller.

In the tooth brushing set 100 for animals, the ion toothbrush 10 has a motor 140 that vibrates the head portion 170, and the frequency of sound generated by driving the motor 140 is preferably 170 Hz or more and 250 Hz or less. Here, the frequency of an adult human female voice is 163 Hz or more and 255 Hz or less. Therefore, the animal A may mistake the sound generated by the driving of the motor 140 for the owner's voice, and the possibility that the animal A dislikes the sound generated by the driving of the motor 140 can be reduced.

In the tooth brushing set 100 for animals, the ion toothbrush 10 has a spindle 160 that extends from the grip 110 and is inserted into the head 170. The battery 120 is housed in the grip part 110, the support shaft part 160 is electrically connected to one electrode 124 of the battery 120, and the cord 30 is connected to the grip part 110.

3. Experimental Examples Experimental examples are shown below to explain the present invention more specifically. Note that the present invention is not limited in any way by the following experimental examples.

Twelve dogs of various breeds, ages, and genders were divided into groups 1 and 2, with 6 dogs each, and their teeth were brushed for 8 weeks. For the first group of dogs, teeth were brushed using an animal tooth brushing set corresponding to the animal tooth brushing set 100 described above, which includes an ion toothbrush, a conductive member as a wristband, and a cord. . For the dogs in the second group, teeth were brushed using a toothbrush that was not an ion toothbrush (a toothbrush that does not conduct electric current).

FIG. 9 is a table showing the gingival index (GI) of dogs after 8 weeks of tooth brushing. Gingivitis is an early stage of periodontal disease, in which the gums become inflamed. The gingivitis index is an index for evaluating the degree of gingivitis, and the higher the gingivitis index, the more intense the inflammation is. In FIG. 9, the following A, B, and C are used as indicators of the gingivitis index.

A: The gingivitis index decreased compared to before the tooth brushing experiment.
B: The gingivitis index did not change compared to before the tooth brushing experiment.
C: The gingivitis index increased compared to before the tooth brushing experiment.

As shown in Figure 9, in the first group, a decrease in the gingivitis index was confirmed in more than half of the dogs. In the first group, no dogs had an increased gingivitis index. On the other hand, there were no dogs in the second group whose gingivitis index decreased. Furthermore, in the second group there were dogs with an increased gingivitis index.

FIG. 10 is a table showing the oral bacteria removal rate of dogs after 8 weeks of tooth brushing. In FIG. 10, the bacteria removal rate is 100% when all bacteria found in the dog's oral cavity before the tooth brushing experiment can be removed, and the bacteria removal rate is 0% when no bacteria can be removed at all. FIG. 10 shows the average value of the bacteria removal rate in each of the first group and the second group. The higher the bacteria removal rate, the better the plaque removal.

As shown in FIG. 10, the bacteria removal rate of Escherichia coli, β-hemolytic Streptococcus, and Pasteurella was higher in the dogs of the first group than in the dogs of the second group.

This experimental example revealed that an ionic toothbrush can remove more bacteria in the oral cavity and improve gingivitis than a non-ionic toothbrush.
