Description

本発明は歯ブラシに歯茎や舌等のマッサージがおよび清掃が可能な機能を付加したマッサージ歯ブラシ及びその製造方法に関する。   The present invention relates to a massage toothbrush in which a toothbrush is added with a function capable of massage and cleaning such as gums and tongue, and a manufacturing method thereof.

一般的な歯ブラシは偏平な頭部とそれから延長する把持部を備え、頭部の偏平な片面に歯を磨くブラシ部分である植毛部が設けられ、把持部を手で把持して頭部の植毛部を歯に押し付けながら歯磨きを行う。通常、植毛部は適当な剛性を有する多数のプラスチック繊維を頭部の偏平な片面に密集状態で固定して形成される。   A typical toothbrush has a flat head and a gripping part extending from the head, and a flocking part that brushes teeth is provided on one flat face of the head. Brush your teeth against the teeth. Usually, the flocked portion is formed by fixing a large number of plastic fibers having appropriate rigidity in a compact state on one flat surface of the head.

通常、歯ブラシは歯の表面を磨くと共に、歯茎や舌や頬の内面をブラッシングやマッサージして口臭や歯周病を予防することもできる。しかし植毛部で歯茎等のブラッシング等を強く行うと歯茎を傷める恐れがあり、さらに歯茎等の隅々まで十分なブラッシング等を行うにはかなりの根気と注意を要するため、植毛部だけを使用して口臭や歯周病を完全に予防することは困難であった。   In general, a toothbrush can polish the tooth surface and brush or massage the inner surfaces of the gums, tongue and cheeks to prevent bad breath and periodontal disease. However, strong brushing of the gums, etc. at the flocked portion may damage the gums, and it takes considerable patience and caution to perform sufficient brushing to every corner of the gum etc., so use only the flocked portion It was difficult to completely prevent bad breath and periodontal disease.

そこで、植毛部を設けた頭部に歯茎等のブラッシングやマッサージ機能を効率よく発揮できるマッサージ部を付加したマッサージ歯ブラシが特許文献１、２等に提案されている。特許文献１に提案されたマッサージ歯ブラシは、頭部における植毛部の両側面にエアチューブやシリコンゴム等でマッサージ部を形成している。また特許文献２のマッサージ歯ブラシは、頭部における植毛部以外の面に表面に細かい凹凸を有するスポンジゴムからなるマッサージ部を形成している。   Therefore, Patent Documents 1 and 2 propose a massage toothbrush in which a massage part that can efficiently perform brushing and massage functions such as gums is added to the head provided with the hair transplant part. The massage toothbrush proposed by patent document 1 has formed the massage part with the air tube, the silicone rubber, etc. in the both sides | surfaces of the hair transplant part in a head. Moreover, the massage toothbrush of patent document 2 forms the massage part which consists of sponge rubber which has fine unevenness | corrugation on the surface in surfaces other than the hair transplant part in a head.

請求項４に記載の本発明は、植毛部(4)を有する頭部(2)と、その頭部(2)に、その幅より狭い幅の首部(3a)を介して延長する把持部(3)とを備え、頭部(2)における植毛部(4)以外の面にマッサージ部(5)を形成したマッサージ歯ブラシの製造方法において、
前記頭部(2)における植毛部(4)の裏面および両側面ならびに、首部(3a)における表面、裏面および両側面に、複数の固定孔(9) を形成し、複数の繊維をループ状にしてそれらの繊維端を束ねたループ状繊維束(6a)を複数用意し、各ループ状繊維束(6a)の繊維端を各固定孔(9) にそれぞれ挿入・固定してマッサージ部(5)を各面相互に連続して形成することを特徴とするマッサージ歯ブラシの製造方法である。 The present invention according to claim 4 includes a head portion (2) having a flocked portion (4), and a grip portion extending to the head portion (2) via a neck portion (3a) having a narrower width than the head portion (2). 3), and a method for manufacturing a massage toothbrush in which a massage part (5) is formed on a surface other than the flocked part (4) in the head (2) ,
A plurality of fixing holes (9) are formed on the back surface and both side surfaces of the flocked portion (4) in the head (2) and on the front surface, back surface, and both side surfaces of the neck (3a), and a plurality of fibers are formed in a loop shape. Prepare a plurality of loop-shaped fiber bundles (6a) in which the fiber ends are bundled, and insert and fix the fiber ends of each loop-shaped fiber bundle (6a) in the fixing holes (9), respectively, to obtain the massage part (5) which is a method for producing Ma Ssaji toothbrush and forming successively on each side one another.

本発明のマッサージ歯ブラシは、マッサージ部を多数のループ状繊維で構成したことに特徴がある。このような多数のループ状繊維の各ループ部分は細い線状体であり、それら線状部が次々と歯茎表面に線接触しながらそれを擦るように摩擦していくので、単なるゴム面、スポンジの凹凸面、或いは繊維体の先端部で擦るより歯茎を効果的に摩擦でき且つ複雑な歯茎表面に沿って柔軟に追従できる。そのため本発明のマッサージ歯ブラシにおけるマッサージ部を歯茎に押し付けるようにして前後若しくは左右に擦ると、歯茎表面に対して十分な密着もしくは追従性を維持しながら、適度な押圧力と摩擦力で効果的なマッサージを行うことができる。   The massage toothbrush of the present invention is characterized in that the massage part is composed of a large number of loop-like fibers. Each loop portion of such a large number of loop-like fibers is a thin linear body, and these linear portions successively rub against the gum surface while making linear contact with each other. It is possible to rub the gums more effectively than rubbing with the uneven surface of the fiber or the tip of the fiber body, and flexibly follow along the complicated gum surface. Therefore, if the massage part of the massage toothbrush of the present invention is rubbed back and forth or left and right so as to press against the gums, it is effective with moderate pressing force and friction force while maintaining sufficient adhesion or followability to the gum surface. Massage can be performed.

また、このマッサージ部は植毛部の背面等に存在するから、通常の歯ブラシ操作のときに当然に頬内面等の口の内面に接触し、その接触部を同時に清掃およびマッサージすることができる。そして、歯茎同様に頬内面等に対して十分な密着もしくは追従性を維持しながら、適度な押圧力と摩擦力で効果的なマッサージを行うことができる。しかも各ループ部分はその弾性や変形性等により口の内面の粘膜に優しく接するという利点もある。さらに各ループ部分が頬内面等の垢を効果的にかきとることができる。   Moreover, since this massage part exists in the back surface etc. of a hair transplant part, naturally it contacts the inner surface of mouth, such as a cheek inner surface, at the time of normal toothbrush operation, and the contact part can be cleaned and massaged simultaneously. And it is possible to perform an effective massage with an appropriate pressing force and frictional force while maintaining sufficient adhesion or followability to the cheek inner surface etc. as in the case of gums. In addition, each loop portion has an advantage that it gently contacts the mucous membrane on the inner surface of the mouth due to its elasticity and deformability. Furthermore, each loop portion can effectively scrape off the cheek inner surface.

さらに、このマッサージ部を舌表面に押し付けるようにして前後若しくは左右或いは円形に擦ると、歯茎同様に舌表面に対して十分な密着もしくは追従性を維持しながら、適度な押圧力と摩擦力で効果的に舌苔を除去することができる。このとき、舌の表面に傷をつけることがない。   Furthermore, if this massage part is rubbed back and forth, left and right, or circularly as it is pressed against the tongue surface, it will be effective with moderate pressing force and frictional force while maintaining sufficient adhesion or followability to the tongue surface like the gums. The tongue coating can be removed. At this time, the surface of the tongue is not damaged.

さらに、本発明のマッサージ歯ブラシの植毛部に歯磨き剤を付けて通常の歯磨きを行うと、多数のループ状繊維で構成したマッサージ部が歯磨き剤に対する泡立て器として作用するので、歯磨き剤の使用量が少なくて済む。そして歯磨き中もマッサージ部が歯茎や口の内面等をマッサージおよび清掃することが出来るので、それら部分の血流が良くなり、歯磨き後にマッサージの快感が残っており、口をすすいだ後に従来のマッサージ歯ブラシでは経験できない爽快感が得られる。そしてこれら種々の効果により、口臭予防、虫歯予防、歯周病予防、口中の健康増進が期待できる。   Furthermore, when a toothpaste is attached to the flocked part of the massage toothbrush of the present invention and normal toothbrushing is performed, the massage part composed of a large number of looped fibers acts as a whisk for the toothpaste, so the amount of toothpaste used is Less is enough. And while brushing teeth, the massage part can massage and clean the gums and the inner surface of the mouth, so that the blood flow in those parts is improved, the pleasure of massage remains after brushing, and the conventional massage after rinsing the mouth A refreshing feeling that cannot be experienced with a toothbrush is obtained. These various effects can be expected to prevent bad breath, prevent dental caries, prevent periodontal disease, and improve health in the mouth.

さらに本発明のマサージ歯ブラシは、そのマッサージ部５が頭部２に植毛部４の裏面および両側面ならびに、首部3aにおける表面、裏面および両側面に、各面相互に連続して形成されているから、特に歯ブラシの首部(3a)におけるマッサージ部５が頬内面のみならず、唇の回りに接触して、その唇周りのマッサージ効果及び清掃効果を高くすることができる。即ち、マッサージ面積を広げ、従来のマッサージ歯ブラシでは、マッサージすることのできない口角等の唇回りのマッサージが可能となる。Further, in the massage toothbrush of the present invention, the massage portion 5 is formed on the head 2 on the back surface and both side surfaces of the flocked portion 4, and on the front surface, back surface, and both side surfaces of the neck portion 3a. Especially, the massage part 5 in the neck part (3a) of the toothbrush can contact not only the cheek inner surface but also around the lips, so that the massage effect and cleaning effect around the lips can be enhanced. That is, the massage area can be expanded, and the massage around the lips such as the corners of the mouth that cannot be massaged with the conventional massage toothbrush becomes possible.

本発明のマッサージ歯ブラシの製造方法は、表面に多数のループ状繊維を基板に固定したループ状繊維基板の裏面側を頭部における植毛部以外の面に接着してマッサージ部を形成することを特徴とする。前記ループ状繊維基板は例えば面ファスナー（所謂マジックテープ(登録商標））の片方に用いるループ状繊維基板をそのまま使用出来るので、安価に且つ効率よく本発明のマッサージ歯ブラシを製造することができる。
このとき、基板の厚さ分だけ基板接着部を予め凹陥した段差部を設ける場合には、ループ状繊維基板の剥離を防止すると共に、基板の縁が口腔の表面に接触せず、使い心地がよい。 The method of manufacturing a massage toothbrush of the present invention is characterized in that a massage part is formed by adhering the back side of a loop-like fiber substrate having a large number of loop-like fibers fixed to the substrate to the surface of the head other than the flocked part. And As the loop-shaped fiber substrate, for example, a loop-shaped fiber substrate used for one side of a hook-and-loop fastener (so-called magic tape (registered trademark)) can be used as it is, so that the massage toothbrush of the present invention can be manufactured inexpensively and efficiently.
At this time, in the case of providing a stepped portion in which the substrate bonding portion is recessed in advance by the thickness of the substrate, the loop-shaped fiber substrate is prevented from being peeled off, and the edge of the substrate does not come into contact with the surface of the oral cavity. Good.

本発明の他のマッサージ歯ブラシの他の製造方法は、前記頭部における植毛部以外の面に複数の固定孔を形成し、複数の繊維をループ状にしてそれらの繊維端を束ねたループ状繊維束を複数用意し、各ループ状繊維束の繊維端を各固定孔にそれぞれ挿入・固定してマッサージ部を形成することを特徴とする。本方法も本発明のマッサージ歯ブラシを効率よく製造することができる。   Another manufacturing method of the massage toothbrush of the present invention is a loop-like fiber in which a plurality of fixing holes are formed on a surface of the head other than the flocked portion, and a plurality of fibers are looped to bundle their fiber ends. A plurality of bundles are prepared, and a fiber portion of each loop-shaped fiber bundle is inserted and fixed in each fixing hole to form a massage part. This method can also efficiently manufacture the massage toothbrush of the present invention.

次に、図面を基に本発明を実施する最良の形態を説明する。図１は本発明のマッサージ歯ブラシの主要部を示す正面図であり、図２は平面図である。これらの図において、マッサージ歯ブラシ１は偏平で略方形な断面を有する細長い頭部２とその頭部２の後端から連続的に延長する首部３ａおよび細長い把持部３を備えている。   Next, the best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a front view showing a main part of the massage toothbrush of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a plan view. In these drawings, the massage toothbrush 1 includes an elongate head 2 having a flat and substantially square cross section, a neck 3 a extending continuously from the rear end of the head 2, and an elongate grip 3.

頭部２の一方の偏平面に例えばポリアミド繊維やポリプロピレン繊維等の合成繊維を密集して植毛した植毛部４が設けられる。この植毛部４は歯磨き剤を付けて歯を磨く部分であり、前記把持部３は歯磨きやマッサージを行う際に手で把持する部分である。なお植毛部４の長さ、幅、または植毛部４を構成する繊維の剛性、長さ及び植毛密度等は使用対象者及びその好みや使用目的等により適宜選択される。   A flocked portion 4 in which synthetic fibers such as polyamide fiber and polypropylene fiber are densely flocked is provided on one flat surface of the head 2. The flocking part 4 is a part for brushing teeth with a dentifrice, and the grip part 3 is a part for gripping by hand when performing brushing or massage. In addition, the length, width, or the rigidity, length, and flocking density of the fibers constituting the flocked portion 4 are appropriately selected depending on the intended user, their preference, purpose of use, and the like.

頭部２における植毛部４以外の面に、図３に拡大図で示す、本発明の特徴部分である多数のループ状繊維６で構成したマッサージ部５が形成される。本実施形態では頭部２における植毛部４以外の背面と両側面、先端面、植毛側の首部にマッサージ部５が延長して形成される。このようなマッサージ部５を備えたマッサージ歯ブラシ１を製造するには、例えば図３（Ａ）（Ｂ）に示すように、可撓性の繊維で作られた基板７の表面から多数のループ状繊維６を立ち上げたループ状繊維基板８を用意し、そのループ状繊維基板８の裏面側を例えば市販の標準的な歯ブラシの頭部２における植毛部４以外の表面に接着することにより、前記マッサージ歯ブラシ１が製造できる。   On the surface of the head 2 other than the flocked portion 4, a massage portion 5 composed of a large number of loop-like fibers 6, which is a characteristic portion of the present invention, is shown in an enlarged view in FIG. 3. In this embodiment, the massage part 5 is extended and formed in the back surface other than the flocked part 4 in the head 2, both sides | surfaces, a front end surface, and the neck part by the side of flocking. In order to manufacture the massage toothbrush 1 having such a massage part 5, for example, as shown in FIGS. 3A and 3B, a large number of loops are formed from the surface of the substrate 7 made of flexible fibers. By preparing a loop-like fiber substrate 8 in which the fibers 6 are raised, and bonding the back side of the loop-like fiber substrate 8 to a surface other than the flocked portion 4 in the head portion 2 of a commercially available standard toothbrush, for example, The massage toothbrush 1 can be manufactured.

ループ状繊維基板８は前記のように、例えば市販の面ファスナー（所謂マジックテープ(登録商標）の雌部材）の片方に用いるループ状繊維基板をそのまま使用出来る。市販のループ状繊維基板におけるループ状繊維の材質や弾性（若しくは剛性）、ループ高さ、ループ密度等は種々のグレードのものが存在するので、その中から本発明のマッサージ部５に適したものを適宜選択することができる。   As described above, as the loop-shaped fiber substrate 8, for example, a loop-shaped fiber substrate used for one side of a commercially available surface fastener (a so-called Velcro female member) can be used as it is. There are various grades of materials, elasticity (or rigidity), loop height, loop density, etc. of the loop-shaped fiber in the commercially available loop-shaped fiber substrate, and those suitable for the massage part 5 of the present invention are among them. Can be appropriately selected.

本発明に好適なループ状繊維基板８としては、例えばポリアミド繊維（所謂ナイロン繊維）等の可撓性の合成繊維で作られた基板７の表面からポリアミド繊維等の合成繊維で作られた多数のループ状繊維６を立ち上げたループ状繊維基板８を使用することができる。ループ状繊維６の弾性若しくは剛性は歯茎等の表面を傷つけず、それら表面に良好に追従でき、且つ十分な摩擦および清掃力を歯茎等に付与できる範囲から選択することが望ましい。ループの高さは口中に無理なく挿入でき、且つ口中に含んでも違和感がない範囲、たとえば０．５ｍｍ〜３ｍｍ程度の範囲から選択することが望ましい。またループ密度は上記ループ高さ範囲を有する市販のループ状繊維基板から選択すればよい。   As the loop-like fiber substrate 8 suitable for the present invention, for example, a large number of synthetic fibers such as polyamide fibers are used from the surface of the substrate 7 made of flexible synthetic fibers such as polyamide fibers (so-called nylon fibers). A loop-shaped fiber substrate 8 in which the loop-shaped fibers 6 are raised can be used. It is desirable that the elasticity or rigidity of the loop-like fiber 6 is selected from a range in which the surface of the gums or the like can be satisfactorily followed, and the surface can be satisfactorily followed and sufficient friction and cleaning force can be applied to the gums and the like. The height of the loop is preferably selected from a range that can be inserted into the mouth without difficulty and that does not feel uncomfortable even if it is contained in the mouth, for example, a range of about 0.5 mm to 3 mm. Moreover, what is necessary is just to select a loop density from the commercially available loop-shaped fiber substrate which has the said loop height range.

図３に示すようなループ状繊維基板８は、市販の標準サイズのものを所定の大きさに切断加工して、その裏面側を頭部２の表面に接着する。接着には安全性の高い接着剤、たとえば歯科治療における歯冠被着用などの安全性と強固な接着力を有する接着剤を使用することが望ましい。
図５はその基板７の厚み分だけ頭部および首部を予め凹陥した段差部３ｂを設けておき、そこにループ状繊維基板８の基板７を埋め込んで接着したものである。このようにすると、基板７が露出しないので、その縁が口腔の内面に接触することがなく、使い心地がよい。 A loop-shaped fiber substrate 8 as shown in FIG. 3 is cut into a predetermined size from a commercially available standard size, and the back side thereof is bonded to the surface of the head 2. For bonding, it is desirable to use a highly safe adhesive, for example, an adhesive having safety and strong adhesive force such as wearing a crown in dental treatment.
FIG. 5 shows a stepped portion 3b in which the head and neck are recessed in advance by the thickness of the substrate 7, and the substrate 7 of the loop-shaped fiber substrate 8 is embedded and bonded thereto. If it does in this way, since the board | substrate 7 is not exposed, the edge does not contact the inner surface of an oral cavity, and it is comfortable to use.

図１には植毛部４の軸方向の長さ、すなわち植毛部４の先端部から後端部までの長さＬ1と、マッサージ部５の軸方向の長さ、すなわちマッサージ部５の先端部から後端部までの長さＬ2が示されている。多くの使用実験の結果によれば、マッサージ部５の軸方向のＬ2の長さは植毛部４の軸方向長さＬ1の１．１〜２．０倍程度の長さに形成すると、マッサージ効果に優れ、且つ使い易いことが分かっている。 In FIG. 1, the axial length of the flocked portion 4, that is, the length L 1 from the front end portion to the rear end portion of the flocked portion 4, and the axial length of the massage portion 5, that is, the front end portion of the massage portion 5. A length L 2 from the rear end to the rear end is shown. According to the results of many use experiments, when the length L 2 in the axial direction of the massage part 5 is formed to be about 1.1 to 2.0 times the axial length L 1 of the flocked part 4, It has been found that the massage effect is excellent and easy to use.

図４は本発明のマッサージ歯ブラシ１の他の製造方法を説明するために示したマッサージ部５の部分拡大断面略図である。本製造方法ではマッサージ部５を形成する頭部２の表面に複数の固定孔９を形成し、複数の繊維をループ状にしてそれらの繊維端を束ねたループ状繊維束６ａを複数用意し、各ループ状繊維束６ａの繊維端を各固定孔９にそれぞれ挿入し、接着剤１０で固定する。なお接着剤１０は前記図３の例と同様な安全性の高い接着剤を使用することが好ましい。またループ状繊維の材質、弾性若しくは剛性、ループ高さ、ループ密度等は図３の例に準じて選択することが望ましい。   FIG. 4 is a partially enlarged schematic cross-sectional view of the massage part 5 shown to explain another method for manufacturing the massage toothbrush 1 of the present invention. In this manufacturing method, a plurality of fixing holes 9 are formed on the surface of the head 2 forming the massage part 5, and a plurality of loop-like fiber bundles 6a in which a plurality of fibers are looped and bundled with their fiber ends are prepared, The fiber ends of each loop-shaped fiber bundle 6 a are inserted into the respective fixing holes 9 and fixed with an adhesive 10. The adhesive 10 is preferably a highly safe adhesive similar to the example of FIG. Further, it is desirable to select the material, elasticity or rigidity, loop height, loop density, and the like of the loop-shaped fiber according to the example of FIG.
