Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a toothpick that is used to remove food particles that have fallen between the teeth after taking food and drink.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 The conventional toothpick is made by processing a piece of wood into a straight line, and is used by simply sharpening one end or both ends.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 Therefore, the conventional toothpick has not only the drawback that the tip portion gets wet with saliva during use and its strength is weakened, but also the tip portion is caught between the teeth and it is difficult to remove it. In particular, conventional toothpicks are made by straightening the wood into a letter shape, and it is extremely inconvenient to use it for the inside of the dentition or the molars, and it requires a large open mouth. The inconvenience of using one hand to cover the open mouth and make it invisible was inconvenient. Furthermore, since the conventional toothpick is used by sharpening only one part of the end, the body part other than the pointed part enters into the teeth to widen the gap between the teeth, and the tooth gap is damaged. It is a cause of various oral hygiene problems, and there are drawbacks such as the need to use it with caution.

The present invention has been made in order to solve the above drawbacks of the conventional toothpick, and its purpose is to have elasticity and strength similar to those of wood and to provide a tooth or an inner tooth. The object is to provide a mass-produced toothpick that can be easily used for teeth.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the toothpick according to the present invention has a knob portion formed in a letter shape, an uneven portion formed at one end of the knob portion, and a predetermined angle that can be adjusted with respect to the knob portion by the uneven portion. It is provided with an inclined piece including a first inclined portion and a second inclined portion that can be kept bent. The second inclined portion may be formed so that it can be bent and maintained at a predetermined adjustable angle with respect to the first inclined portion.

[0006]

[Action]

 The pick portion and the inclined piece of the toothpick are integrally formed by injection molding using a synthetic resin material having elasticity and strength similar to that of wood. The tip of the inclined piece is formed in an elongated shape, and the inclined piece can be adjusted to an arbitrary angle with respect to the knob.

[0007]

【Example】

 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the figure, 1 is formed in a single letter shape, a protrusion 2 for slip prevention is formed on the peripheral surface, and a bellows-shaped uneven portion 3 is formed at one end. It is integrally formed at one side end of the knob portion 1 via a through-hole and is formed so as to form a constant angle with respect to the knob portion 1, or it is bendable but the angle once bent is delusional. The one-letter-shaped first inclined portion 5 configured so as not to change is integrally formed at one end of the first inclined portion 4 so as to form a constant angle with respect to the first inclined portion 4. A second elongated slanted ramp that is formed or foldable, but is constructed such that the angle of the fold is unchanged. An inclined piece 6 is formed by the first inclined portion 4 and the second inclined portion 5.

A method of using the toothpick of the present invention constructed as above will be described in detail. FIG. 1 shows a case where the inclined piece 6 is provided at one end of the knob 1 at a certain angle. In this case, the second inclined portion 5 of the inclined piece 6 is used to move the tooth according to the position of the tooth. used . When the tilting piece 6 is used by changing the angle of the tilting piece 6 as needed, the first tilting part is used as shown in FIG. 4 is bent at the concavo-convex portion 3 so that the inclined piece 6 faces downward. In this case, since the tilting piece 6 is bent without being cut by the elasticity of the resin material, the mouth of the food and drink sandwiched between the molar teeth and the teeth located inside the second tilting portion 5 is opened wide. It can be easily removed without incident.

In addition, when trying to remove the food meal that has crushed on the front teeth, when the inclined piece 6 is bent at a certain angle as described above, the knob 1 is moved from below or above the mouth. Its use is inconvenient because it must be inserted and used. Therefore, in this case, as shown in FIG. 3, the first inclined portion 4 is bent by the rolling of the uneven portion 3 so as to be aligned with the knob portion 1, and the second inclined portion 5 is also the first inclined portion. 4 so that the slanted piece 6 forms a straight line with the knob 1 as a whole so that it can be used in the same manner as a conventional toothpick.

[0010]

[Effect of the device]

 As described above, in the toothpick of the present invention, by forming the second slanted portion which is designed to directly remove the residue of food and drink sandwiched between the teeth, it is possible to widen the interdental space by using the tooth and the dental caries. There is no need to worry about scratching the teeth. Especially, the inclination angle with respect to the picking portion can be changed together with the first inclined portion and further with respect to the first inclined portion, so it is extremely convenient regardless of where the tooth is located. It is possible to maintain the strength of the bending part when the second inclined part is applied to the tooth because the first inclined part is maintained at a constant angle or in a straight line by utilizing the uneven part. As the tooth is used, it can be easily used according to the position of use of the tooth, and the second inclined part does not break during use. Therefore, the toothpick of the present invention not only completely eliminates the defects of the conventional toothpick, but also improves the oral hygiene, and has a very large practical effect.
