DESCRIPTION OF EXEMPLARY EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 is a front view showing an intraoral treatment device according to the present embodiment.

As shown in FIG. 1, the treatment device 1 includes a conductive portion 2 composed of a conductive linear member, and a capacitor 3 for removing a galvanic current flowing through the oral cavity through the linear member 1. And a contact portion 4 provided at the tip of the conductive portion 2. As for the linear member which the electroconductive part 2 has, the front-end | tip part is curving circularly and comprises the contact part 4. FIG. Further, the base end portion of the linear member is formed in a curved shape, and a knob portion 21 is provided so that it can be easily picked and held by a finger or the like. As shown in FIG. 2, one of terminals of capacitors 31, 32, and 33 is connected to the knob 21 at the base end. The tip of the linear member constituting the knob 21 is formed in an annular shape and prevents the tip from damaging the user's skin.

The linear member which the electroconductive part 2 has is curving gently as a whole, and is formed in circular arc shape. As the linear member, a good conductor, for example, a good conductor such as gold, platinum, silver, or copper, or an alloy thereof is used. In order to use in a state where these linear members are exposed, it is desirable to have corrosion resistance, and in this respect, it is preferable to use gold, platinum, silver, or the like. In addition, silver is more desirable because it is inexpensive. In addition, when using a material with inferior corrosion resistance, a coating layer such as a resin is provided on the outside of the linear member, and only the tip portion is exposed to maintain the conductivity, such as silver plating, while performing the corrosion resistance treatment. Good. Or it is good also as a structure which comprised only the contact part 4 with materials with corrosion resistance, such as gold | metal | money, platinum, silver, and connected to the front-end | tip of a linear member. In this case, the contact portion 4 is preferably spherical (see FIG. 3).

Since the linear member is curved, it can be easily brought into contact with the back side of the teeth. For the same purpose, in addition to the curve formation, the tip of the linear member may be bent.

The capacitors 31, 32 and 33 connected to the knob 21 may be either circuit capacitors or power supply capacitors, but are preferably small. This is because it is preferable not to occupy a storage space in a mobile phone or the like. The connection between the knob 21 and the capacitors 31, 32, 33 is implemented by winding a lead wire constituting one terminal of the capacitors 31, 32, 33 around the knob 21. In addition, in order to connect electrically reliably, you may connect by soldering etc.

In the capacitors 31, 32, and 33, the lead wires 311, 321, and 331 constituting the other terminal are formed in a coil shape, and the leading ends of the lead wires are directed to the inside of the coil. By forming in this way, the inconvenience that the tip of a lead wire damages a user's skin is suppressed. The holding part 5 is formed in the treatment tool 1 by the knob part 21 and the capacitors 31, 32, 33. The user can hold the treatment device 1 by picking such a holding portion 5 with, for example, a thumb and an index finger.

Further, the knob portion 21 may be provided with a guard portion 22 that is provided with a resin formed by molding or the like, and may be a holding portion 51 in which the capacitors 31, 32, 33 and the conductive portion 2 are integrated. Lead wires 311, 321, and 331 constituting the other terminals of the capacitors 31, 32, and 33 are exposed on the surface of the holding portion 51, and are configured to be able to contact the user's skin.

Further, as shown in FIG. 3, the linear member 20 constituting the conductive portion 2 is covered with a resin 23 having corrosion resistance, and the linear member is exposed at the tip portion. You may connect the contact part 41 comprised with the material (For example, metals, such as gold | metal | money, platinum, silver, or conductive resin, ceramic etc.) which has corrosion resistance and electroconductivity. By setting it as such a structure, it becomes possible to use a metal material with low corrosion resistance for the linear member 20. In addition, the electroconductive part 2 may not be comprised with a linear member, but may be comprised with resin, ceramic, and other materials which have electroconductivity.

The operation of the therapeutic device 1 of the present invention configured as described above will be described. FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing a state where the treatment tool 1 of the present invention is used. The tip contact portion 4 of the treatment tool 1 held by picking the holding portion 5 with the thumb and index finger is brought into contact with the mucous membrane portion in the oral cavity. The mucous membrane portion includes gums (inside or outside), tongue, maxillary portion, and the like. Since the galvanic current is generated as a result of ionization of the metal, the contact portion is preferably a portion close to the tooth. Therefore, the outer side 61 or the inner side 62 of the gums. Moreover, you may make it contact directly with the metal 63,64 armed with the tooth | gear, the metal 65 with which it filled, etc. FIG. Furthermore, you may make it contact a tooth | gear. When the contact part 4 is inserted into the oral cavity and brought into contact with each part, the conductive part 2 other than the contact part 4 may come into contact with teeth or metal. In this case, the conductive part 2 functions as a contact part.

As described above, when the contact part 4 is brought into contact with each part in the oral cavity, electrons generated by ionization of the metal dissolved in the saliva are accumulated in the capacitors 31, 32, 33 through the conductive part 2, and the galvanic current Is removed. Since the galvanic current is a weak current, the body of the user holding the treatment tool 1 acts as a ground and is stored in the capacitors 31, 32, and 33.

It is a whole side view which shows the treatment tool of this invention. It is a partial expanded side view which shows the structure of the holding | maintenance part of a treatment tool. It is a fragmentary sectional side view which shows the other structure of the contact part in the treatment tool of this invention.
