JPH10328137A - Inside of mouth self-observing device - Google Patents

Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To easily observe the situation of the inside of a mouth such as the situation of teeth or gums by attaching a reflecting mirror supporting plate obtained by attaching a reflecting mirror to the tip of the supporting bar attached to the direction of emitting the light of a pen-type flashlight and providing a tooth pick supporting groove for attaching a shortly bent-off tooth pick at the reflecting mirror supporting board. SOLUTION: The supporting bar 2 is attached in parallel with the direction of emitting the light of the small and pen-type flashlight 1 and the reflecting mirror supporting board 3 is attached to the tip of the bar 2 so as to form an angle with respect to the optical axis of the pen-type flashlight. Then a reflecting mirror is attached to the board 3 and the tooth pick supporting groove 5 for attaching the shortly bent-off tooth pick is provided at the board 3. Light emitted from the flashlight 1 is reflected by the mirror 4 to brightly illuminate a part desired to observe and the situation of the brightly illuminated part is projected by the mirror 4. It is reflected once more by another mirror to reach user's eyes.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a pen-type flashlight that illuminates the inside of a mouth and teeth while observing the state by itself and, if necessary, removes food residues caught between teeth.
The present invention relates to a self-observation device in the mouth that can be removed by an attached toothpick.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art With a conventional dental mirror, it is difficult for light to enter the mouth, and it was difficult to observe the situation alone. Therefore, prevention of tooth decay and periodontal disease and early detection of the symptoms have been delayed. Also, when you want to remove the food residue that is caught between your teeth with a toothpick, those that are stuck persistently in complicated gaps
It was hard to remove.

[0003]

This has the following disadvantages. I. With a conventional dental mirror, light hardly enters the mouth, and it was difficult to observe the state of the mouth, such as the state of teeth and gums, alone and dark. B. It was not enough to observe teeth that had tooth decay or unpolished teeth after brushing them by simply reflecting them on a hand mirror, and it was not possible to prevent decay. C. If you leave your mouth unhealthy without noticing it,
In addition to harm to health, there were also problems with etiquette, such as bad breath. D. A toothpick is used to remove food debris between teeth.However, it may be difficult to remove complicated tooth-to-tooth gaps or teeth where dentures have large and complicated tooth gaps. Was. The present invention has been made to solve the above drawbacks.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION A support rod (2) is mounted in the direction in which a pen-shaped flashlight (1) emits light. At the tip of the support rod (2), a reflector support plate (3) to which a reflector (4) is attached is attached. The reflector support plate (3) is provided with a toothpick support groove (5) for mounting a shortly cut toothpick (6). The present invention is an intraoral self-observation instrument having the above configuration.

[0005]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below. (B) Attach the support rod (2) parallel to the direction in which the small pen-shaped flashlight (1) emits light. (B) Attach the reflector support plate (3) to the tip of the support rod (2) so as to make an angle with the optical axis of the pen-type flashlight. (C) A reflector (4) is attached to the reflector support plate (3). (D) On the reflector support plate (3), a toothpick support groove (5) to which a short-cut toothpick (6) can be attached is provided. The present invention has the above configuration. When using the present invention, the pen-type flashlight is turned on, and the reflector (4) is inserted into the mouth for use. Pen type flashlight (1)
The light emitted from is reflected by the reflecting mirror (4), and illuminates the portion to be observed brightly. The state of the brightly illuminated part is reflected by the reflecting mirror (4), which is reflected again by the mirror (7) and reaches the user's eyes.
Through the above process, the user can visually confirm the entire mouth including the site to be observed and the back of the teeth. Further, as shown in FIG. 3, a toothpick (6) which is cut short in the toothpick support groove (5) is sandwiched, and the toothpick can be removed with the toothpick (6) while observing the pinched portion of the food meal.

[0006]

EFFECTS OF THE INVENTION By using the present invention, it is possible to observe the state of tooth decay and gums and to remove food debris caught between teeth while illuminating the state of the mouth brightly. Early detection and prevention of disease are also possible.
