JPH1014662A - Toothbrushing device using vibration of liquid - Google Patents

Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To make it possible to remove dental plaques and food residues even in the part and clearances which a toothbrush cannot reach by providing an oscillator and a motor, providing vibration energy to a liquid such as a mouth wash in the mouth by microvibration. SOLUTION: A motor 2 using dry cells and an oscillator 1 are placed in separate cases and connected with an electrical cord for unification. Then a liquid such as water or a mouthwash is put into the mouth and an oscillator 1 is placed in the liquid 3 and thereby produces resonance. The resonance provides microvibration, energy produced by the microvibration makes liquid molecules collide with dirts repeatedly. As a result, dirts also resonate, making the liquid 3 sink into the part and clearances to which a toothbrush cannot reach to, remove dental plaques and food residues.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a dentifrice and an oral hygiene device.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art The bristles of a toothbrush remove dirt by directly contacting with teeth, interdental teeth, plaque adhering to periodontal spots, food debris, and the like.

[0003]

The toothbrush must be in contact with the dirt of the bristles to remove the dirt in a portion where the bristles cannot enter, a gap (inter-dental space between teeth, a periodontal spot, etc.). It is impossible to move the body of the toothbrush because it is a human, and it may cause unpolished residue. It takes time to apply a toothbrush to all dirt in the mouth

[0004]

The liquid contained in the oral cavity is subjected to minute vibrations (water, mouthwash, etc.), and the vibration energy is used to remove dirt.

[0005]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION The liquid causes resonance by including the liquid (3) and the oscillating body (1) in the oral cavity. The finely vibrated liquid molecules repeatedly collide with dirt. The dirt resonates due to the vibration of the liquid. The dirt peels into the liquid due to the collision and resonance of
Be removed

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The product of the present invention comprises an oscillator (1) and a power unit (2). Use a dry battery for power and put it in a case that can be included in the mouth together with the oscillator. = Case integrated type (possibly swallowed) Put the dry battery and oscillator in separate cases for electricity Connected with a cord (it is practical because it is portable). AC-AC connection, which uses a household power supply for power and connects the power unit that converts it to a voltage safe for the human body and the oscillator case with an electric cord. . . (The AC frequency can be used for the oscillation method.) AC-DC. . . (By replacing the code,
An oscillator is used instead of the toothbrush-shaped brush, and a dry battery (rechargeable battery) is built in the handle.

[0007]

According to the present invention, it is possible to remove plaque, food debris, and the like, even if the liquid penetrates into a portion or a gap where the tip of the toothbrush cannot enter. Since the liquid spreads in the oral cavity, the liquid contact site can remove all dirt at once. (Some time required) reduces the likelihood of leaving unpolished. Thus, the time for tooth brushing can be reduced.
