Description
本発明は、一般家庭で利用される歯ブラシに関する。 The present invention relates to a toothbrush used in a general household.
従来の家庭用歯ブラシは、歯面に付着している歯垢などの付着物を取り除いたり、マッサージしたりするのに、使用対象者に合わせた形態的特徴を持つものがあるが、毛束の刈り込み方、毛先の形態、刷毛の太さ、長さ、硬さなどが異なるものの、その多くが、刷毛を頭部の柄に垂直に植毛する植込みブラシである。 Some conventional household toothbrushes have morphological features tailored to the user in order to remove or massage deposits such as plaque adhering to the tooth surface. Although the method of trimming, the shape of the hair tip, the thickness, length, and hardness of the brush are different, most of them are implantation brushes for flocking the brush perpendicularly to the handle of the head.
また、刷毛を頭部の柄に垂直に植毛する普及型の歯ブラシではないものの、歯垢の除去及び、歯ぐきのマッサージに効果的なローラ状としてなる回転歯ブラシなど各種の歯ブラシが提供されている。(例えば、特許文献1参照)
以上に述べた従来の普及型歯ブラシでは、柄に刷毛を植込んでいたため、構造上、植毛密度や形態に限界があり、したがって、歯垢除去や研磨力の効果にも限界があった。本発明はその点を改善し、構造を全く変えることで、歯垢除去効果だけでなく、マッサージ効果、特に歯周疾患や歯肉炎の予防と治療にも適した歯ブラシを提供することを目的とする。 In the conventional popular type toothbrush described above, since the brush is implanted in the handle, there is a limit to the density and form of the flock in terms of structure, and therefore, there is a limit to the effects of plaque removal and polishing power. The present invention improves the point, totally changing the structure, and aims to provide a well plaque removing effect, the massage effect, particularly suitable for the prevention and treatment of periodontal disease and gingivitis Toothbrush To do .
また、従来の歯ブラシは、毛先の形態を変えたり、柄軸に角度を持たせない限り、歯面に対する角度は垂直のままである。また、植込みブラシが主流のため、ブラシ密度が粗く歯ぐきのマッサージ効果に疑問がある。同時に、その課題に取り組んだ歯ぐきのマッサージに効果的なローラ状としてなる回転ブラシ(特許文献1参照)は、摩擦抵抗力が著しく低いため、歯面を滑ってしまい歯垢除去が不十分という問題も生まれた。 Further, in the conventional toothbrush, the angle with respect to the tooth surface remains vertical unless the shape of the bristles is changed or the handle axis is given an angle. In addition, since the implant brush is the mainstream, the brush density is coarse and there is doubt about the massage effect of the gums. At the same time, the rotating brush (see Patent Document 1) that is effective for massaging the gums that tackles the problem has a very low frictional resistance, so the tooth surface slips and the plaque removal is insufficient. Was also born.
本発明は、このような従来の構成が有していた問題を解決しようとするものであり、構造を全く変えることで、歯面に対して刷毛が柔軟かつ綿密に重ね合わさり、歯ぐきのマッサージ効果の向上の実現と、同時に歯垢除去効果を目指すことを目的とするものである。 The present invention is intended to solve the problems of such a conventional configuration, and by completely changing the structure, the brushes are softly and closely superimposed on the tooth surface, and the massage effect of the gums The purpose is to achieve the improvement of plaque and at the same time aim at the plaque removal effect.
本発明の歯ブラシは上記目的を達成するために、片手で握り往復移動させることができる形状の柄と、その柄の先端部に設けられる円筒状の刷毛とを備え、
前記柄がその先端部に柄を延長するように設けた小径の柄軸を備えており、前記円筒状の刷毛が、柄軸の周囲に、中心部に柄軸に通される小孔を有する薄い環状の毛状ブラシ材とワッシャーとを交互に柄軸に通して適正枚数並べることにより構成される。このように柄軸を中心として環状の毛状ブラシ材を複数枚重ね合わせ、柄軸に通すことで円筒状となり、全面的に植毛された状態になるので、どの面からも左右・上下・回転など、軽い圧力を加えながら毛先の移動を繰り返す動作を行うことができ、歯垢の除去や歯肉マッサージを行える円筒型歯ブラシとなる。
To achieve the above object, the toothbrush of the present invention comprises a handle having a shape that can be grasped and reciprocated with one hand, and a cylindrical brush provided at the tip of the handle,
The handle has a small-diameter handle shaft provided so as to extend the handle at the tip thereof, and the cylindrical brush has a small hole that passes through the handle shaft at the center around the handle shaft. It is configured by arranging an appropriate number of thin annular bristle brush materials and washers alternately through the handle axis. In this way, a plurality of annular bristle brush materials centering on the handle axis are overlapped and passed through the handle axis to form a cylindrical shape, so that the entire surface is implanted, so that it can be rotated left, right, up, down, and rotated from any surface. etc., while applying light pressure can perform operation of repeating the movement of the bristles, a cylindrical toothbrush that allows the removal and gum massage plaque.
また、第2の課題解決手段は、前記柄軸が熱可塑性樹脂製であり、前記柄軸に通した環状の毛状ブラシ材を、柄軸の最先端部分を超音波溶着することにより止めたことを特徴とする。このように柄軸の周囲に環状の毛状ブラシ材を適正枚数通し、柄軸の最先端部分を超音波溶着することで、毛止めの強度は、JIS(日本工業規格 s3016−1995)植込みブラシ規格8N以上の強度になった。 The second problem-solving means is that the handle shaft is made of a thermoplastic resin, and the annular bristle brush material passed through the handle shaft is stopped by ultrasonically welding the most distal portion of the handle shaft . It is characterized by that. Thus through proper number hairy brush material annularly around the handle shaft, the cutting edge portion of the handle shaft by ultrasonic welding, the strength of the hair stop is, JIS (Japanese Industrial Standards S3016-1995) implantation Brush It became the strength of standard 8N or more.
上記第1の課題解決手段による作用は次の通りである。植毛密度が格段に向上し、植込みブラシにはなかった毛先の立ち方のため、歯垢除去効果だけでなく、マッサージ効果、特に歯周疾患や歯肉炎の予防と治療にも適した歯ブラシを提供できるようになった。すなわち全面的に刷毛を植毛することで、360゜面すべての刷毛の部分を利用でき、操作面でも、歯を磨く時、360゜ブラシのため、手首を返す必要がなくなった。また、植毛密度が高いため、左右に手を動かさなくても歯面に均等にブラシが当たり、磨き残しがなくなった。 The operation of the first problem solving means is as follows. A toothbrush suitable for the prevention and treatment of not only the plaque removal effect but also the massage effect, especially periodontal disease and gingivitis, because the flocking density has improved significantly and the hair tips that were not found in the implanted brush Now available. That is , by brushing the brush entirely, the entire 360 ° brush portion can be used, and even on the operation surface, it is no longer necessary to return the wrist because of the 360 ° brush when brushing teeth. Moreover, since the flocking density is high, the brush hits the tooth surface evenly without moving the hand from side to side, and there is no residue left.
また、第2の課題解決手段による作用は、超音波で容易に溶着でき、毛状ブラシ材の脱落防止ができる点である。 Moreover, the effect | action by a 2nd problem-solving means is a point which can be easily welded with an ultrasonic wave and can prevent the hair-like brush material from falling off.
上述したように本発明の歯ブラシは、構造を360゜型円筒歯ブラシにすることによって、歯ぐきを痛めることなくマッサージ効果を発揮することができ、同時に歯垢除去効果も得られる。また、奥歯など歯を磨く時も、歯面に当たらない部分にも刷毛が口内部分に当たることで、唾液の分泌が活発になり、優れた自浄効果も発揮できるようになった。 As described above, the toothbrush of the present invention can exhibit a massage effect without damaging the gums by using a 360 ° cylindrical toothbrush structure, and at the same time, a plaque removing effect can be obtained. In addition, when brushing teeth such as the back teeth, the brush hits the mouth part even on parts that do not touch the tooth surface, so that saliva secretion becomes active and an excellent self-cleaning effect can be exhibited.
構造を360゜型円筒歯ブラシにすることによって、歯ブラシ品質として重要である植毛強度を十分に確保させ、毛立ちが良好で、清掃効果に優れた歯ブラシを提供するが可能になった。また、ブラッシング時の使用感がよく、かつ、植毛部の耐久性に優れた歯ブラシを提供することが可能になった。 By making the structure a 360 ° cylindrical toothbrush, it is possible to sufficiently secure the flocking strength, which is important as the quality of the toothbrush, to provide a toothbrush with good fuzzing and excellent cleaning effect. In addition, it is possible to provide a toothbrush having a good feeling during brushing and excellent durability of the flocked portion.
360゜面すべての刷毛の部分を利用でき、操作面でも、360゜ブラシのため、手首を返す必要がなくなり、歯の磨き方がわからない幼児でも容易に使えるようになった。 The entire 360 ° brush portion can be used, and the operation surface is also a 360 ° brush, so there is no need to return the wrist, and even infants who do not know how to brush their teeth can be used easily.
