Description
本願発明は、口内清掃具に関すものである。The present invention relates to a mouth cleaning tool.
舌の表面には、食物の破片や微生物によるプラーク（舌苔）などの汚物が付着し易く、これが口臭や味覚欠如の原因となる。加えて、口内は食後酸性化するところを中性である「だ液」によって、口内環境を正常値に戻し各口内トラブルを守っている。Debris such as food debris and microbial plaque (tongue coating) tend to adhere to the surface of the tongue, which causes bad breath and lack of taste. In addition, the neutral "saliva" that acidifies the mouth after meals restores the oral environment to normal values and protects against each oral trouble.
そして、該口内清掃具の代表が「歯ブラシ」であり、近年、口臭を気にするエンドユーザーが増加したことで「舌ブラシ」を使用する人も増加した。The representative of the mouth cleaning tool is a "toothbrush", and in recent years, as the number of end users who are concerned about bad breath has increased, the number of people using the "tongue brush" has also increased.
舌ブラシの文献は下記に記載したものに加え多数存在する。There are many references to tongue brushes in addition to those listed below.
本願発明は、舌の汚れを今迄の「舌ブラシ」以上に安全且、確実に除去することで、口臭を押え、口内環境を一早く健全な状態に整えることのできる商品の研究開発を課題とした。The present invention is an object of research and development of a product capable of suppressing bad breath and quickly adjusting the oral environment to a healthy state by removing stains on the tongue more safely and reliably than the conventional "tongue brush". And said.
上記した、目的を達成するために、射出成形に使用する金型、商品クリーナー部（ヘラ部、ブラシ部）のみに、ブラスト加工を施し、該商品同部に微細な凹凸を設けた。該前記ブラスト加工に加えて、クリーナー部に設けたブラシ部の断面形状を、ダイヤモンド形状（菱形状）とする場合も考えられる。それに加え、熱可塑性エラストマ樹脂における物性（加工性態）の向上と、射出成形における金型精度の向上により、ブラシ先端部が極細且、湾曲した商品製造も可能となった。In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, only the mold and the product cleaner part (spatula part, brush part) used for injection molding were blasted, and the same part of the product was provided with fine irregularities. In addition to the blasting process, the cross-sectional shape of the brush portion provided in the cleaner portion may be a diamond shape (diamond shape). In addition, by improving the physical characteristics (processability) of the thermoplastic elastomer resin and improving the mold accuracy in injection molding, it has become possible to manufacture products in which the tip of the brush is extremely fine and curved.
それに加えクリーナー部に設けたヘラ部、ブラシ部となる材料（熱可塑性エラストマ樹脂）に、他物性からなる粉体（抗菌、滅菌、消臭効果を有する粉体）又は、香料を練り込み成形する。In addition, powder (powder having antibacterial, sterilizing, and deodorizing effects) having other physical characteristics or fragrance is kneaded into the spatula part and brush part material (thermoplastic elastomer resin) provided in the cleaner part. ..
商品クリーナー部（ヘラ部、ブラシ部）などの熱可塑性エラストマ樹脂表面に、微細ではあるものの凸部を設けることで、該部分の表面積が上昇することにより、舌の汚れ「舌垢」の除去効果が上昇する。それに加え、ブラシ部本体の形状を円錐形状から、ダイヤモンド（菱形）形状、ブラシ先端を湾曲させることにより、熱可塑性エラストマ樹脂からなる該部分は、摩擦係数が上昇し「舌垢」の除去効果も上昇する。By providing a convex part, although it is fine, on the surface of the thermoplastic elastomer resin such as the product cleaner part (spatula part, brush part), the surface area of the part increases, and the effect of removing the dirt "tongue stain" on the tongue. Rise. In addition, the shape of the brush part is changed from a conical shape to a diamond (diamond) shape, and by bending the tip of the brush, the friction coefficient of the part made of thermoplastic elastomer resin increases and the effect of removing "tongue stains" is also obtained. To rise.
前記した、「舌垢」の除去効果に加え、クリーナー部（ヘラ部、ブラシ部）に使用される熱可塑性エラストマ樹脂に、射出成形の際、他物性からなる粉体（抗菌、滅菌、消臭効果を有する粉体）又は、香料を練り込み成形することで、エンドユーザーは恒に清潔な口内清掃具を使用することが可能となった。In addition to the above-mentioned effect of removing "tongue stains", the thermoplastic elastomer resin used for the cleaner part (spatula part, brush part) is used for powder (antibacterial, sterilization, deodorization) made of other physical properties during injection molding. By kneading and molding an effective powder) or a fragrance, the end user can always use a clean mouth cleaner.
以下、本願発明を実施するための最良の形態を図をもって説明する。Hereinafter, the best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
図２は、射出成形金型における、熱可塑性エラストマ成形部分にブラスト加工（ショットブラスト、サンドブラスト、ダイヤモンドブラスト）を施す様子を示したイメージ図である。この加工（表面処理）方法は、ブラスト加工機５から高速で噴射されるブラスト粒５Ａによって、金型３に設けた金型表面成形部４の表面に凹部を製造する方法である。FIG. 2 is an image diagram showing a state in which blasting (shot blasting, sand blasting, diamond blasting) is performed on a thermoplastic elastomer molded portion in an injection molding die. This processing (surface treatment) method is a method of producing a recess on the surface of the mold surface molding portion 4 provided in the mold 3 by using the blast particles 5A ejected from the blasting machine 5 at high speed.
このブラスト加工を、射出成形に用いられる金型３の金型表面成形部４に、前記したブラスト加工を施すことにより口内清掃具であるところの、舌ブラシ、クリーナー部１、ヘラ部１Ａ、ブラシ部１Ｂ（熱可塑性エラストマなどのゴム類製造部）の商品表面に凸形状の表面加工部１Ｃが製造される。By performing this blasting process on the mold surface forming portion 4 of the mold 3 used for injection molding, the tongue brush, the
そして、この熱可塑性エラストマを素材とするクリーナー部１、ヘラ部１Ａ、ブラシ部１Ｂは、硬度ショアＡ１０〜３５程度（赤ちゃんの手の平から、消しゴムの硬さ位）であることから、口内清掃具として使用するためには、握り部（ハンドル）と、クリーナー部１、ヘラ部１Ａ、ブラシ部１Ｂを補強する芯材バネ部２は重要である。The
この前記した、芯材バネ部２は、射出成型によるところのポリプロピレン樹脂が好適である。その理由は、材料費が安価であり且、作業性態が優れているためである。これは量産品にとって最重要点でもある。The above-mentioned core
そして、この口内清掃具のクリーナー部１、ヘラ部１Ａ、ブラシ部１Ｂ、には、前記したように、該表面に凸部が無数に点在するため、表面積は大きくなり、該突起が存在することで、舌の汚れ「舌垢」を効果的に除去することが可能となった。
加えて、該クリーナー部１、ヘラ部１Ａ、ブラシ部１Ｂに、抗菌、滅菌効果などを有する粉体や、キシリトール、クールミントなどの香料（使用者に爽快感を与える）を練り込まれた原料（熱可塑性エラストマ）を使用することも可能である。As described above, the
In addition, the
また、射出成形の進歩と、金型製造技術の向上により、図１のように、クリーナー部１、ヘラ部１Ａ、ブラシ部１Ｂの表面にブラスト加工を施こしただけでなく、図３のように、該ブラシ部分における断面部をダイヤモンド（菱形）形状（図４）とすることや、図５のようにブラシ部１Ｂ先端を細長く延長し、該先端を湾曲させることも可能となった。そして、これらの加工を組み合わせることも可能である。Further, due to the progress of injection molding and the improvement of the mold manufacturing technology, not only the surfaces of the
