JPH0576549A - Electrolytic tooth-pick - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain an implement which can remove and prevent dental plaque by forming this implement in such a manner that an electrolytic circuit is constituted with the body as a conductor when a user brings the cathode of a battery into contact with a conductive shaft brush and holds a battery container provided with a space which can conduct the anode of the battery by a conductor. CONSTITUTION:The cathode of the battery 4 is touched and integrated to a contact terminal 5 for energization of the conductive shaft brush 1 by fixing the battery 4 into the battery container. The user touches the anode of the battery 4 via the space 3 for conduction of the battery 2 and the electrolytic circuit is constituted when the user holds the battery case 2 at the time of use. The dental plaque sticking to the teeth is ionized by electrolysis in this way and is attracted to the cathode which is the conductive shaft brush. The dental plaque is easily removed by the electrolysis and, therefore, this tooth-pick is sufficiently effective in prevention of the dental plaque, prevention of oral smells and dental sanitation.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an electrolytic toothpick for cleaning between teeth and removing plaque.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, physical cleaning with toothpicks and the like has hitherto been insufficient, but at the same time, it causes damage to the gums and causes plaque sticking.

[0003]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The problem to be solved is to develop an appliance capable of cleaning between teeth and removing and preventing plaque.

[0004]

The means for solving the problems of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. A battery (4) is provided in a battery container (2) at a contact terminal (5) for energization of a conductive shaft brush (1). Fixed,
The cathode (-) of the battery (4) is brought into contact with and united. In use, by holding the battery container (2), it contacts the positive electrode of the battery (4) through the space (3) for conduction of the battery container (2) to form an electrolytic circuit. However, the example should not be considered limiting.

[0005]

Since the present invention has the above-described structure, when it is used, by holding the battery container, the battery container is brought into contact with the positive electrode of the battery to be energized,
An electrolysis circuit is constructed in which the conductive shaft brush is a cathode (−), saliva is an electrolyte, and teeth are an anode (+).

[0006]

EXAMPLES In the practice of the present invention, dental plaque (+) attached to teeth,
Is ionized by electrolysis and adsorbed on the conductive shaft brush cathode (-).

[0007]

Therefore, since the toothpick has a brush-like shape, cleaning is easy, and plaque is easily removed by electrolysis, which is effective in preventing plaque, preventing halitosis, and dental hygiene. Is demonstrated.
