FIG. 3 is a bottom view of the L1 sanitary device shown in FIG. 3; FIG. 4 is a bottom view of the L1 sanitary device shown in FIG. FIG. 3 is a plan view of another embodiment of the oral hygiene device; FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view showing yet another embodiment of the oral hygiene device; FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view of another alternative embodiment of the E1 sanitary device; FIG. 7 shows a disk-shaped oral hygiene device according to the invention; FIG. 8 shows a toroid-shaped oral hygiene device according to the present invention.

BEST MODE FOR ACHIEVEMENT OF THE INVENTION In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, patients with periodontal disease (periodontal The lumen hygiene device for patient) is constructed as shown in Figures 1 to 3. Ru.

Today the sanitary device consists of a small supporting frame in the form of a disk 1, which is a conventional It can be molded from plastic material by a conventional method, and its diameter is, for example, It is 20fi. Needless to say, other materials such as rubber are used to make this disc. or natural materials can be used. The disc has a downwardly curved periphery. 2 and a raised central portion 3. there on the disk A perforation 4 is provided which passes through the It can also be positioned 2m away from the circumference of the disc. Wear. The disc can also be provided with a peripheral bead 2A with a diameter of 1.5 vA.

A large number of bristles 5 are provided so as to protrude downward from the lower surface of the disk, and these bristles can be molded integrally with the plastic material of the disc, or Alternatively, it can be placed in the disk during manufacturing. Figure 3 shows the bristles (some of them Only illustrative examples are shown.

When using the oral hygiene device, place a small amount of toothpaste, such as toothpaste, in the mouth of the patient. Then, with the user's tongue, place the mouth hygiene device against the upper surface 6 of the mouth hygiene device against the teeth. Manipulate. In this way, the I'hygiene device can be applied to all tooth surfaces in the mouth. As a result, the bristles 5 can effectively get into all the gaps between the teeth. It becomes.

In another simple embodiment of the invention, as shown in FIG. A small toroidal shape consisting of a peripheral part and a central hole 8, that is, a doughnut shape. You can take it. This donut shape has a Bristles are provided extending over the surface and projecting therefrom. Regarding such support frame They do not need to have individual bristles and can be made from rough vesicular material. (Figure 6). This type of product is easy to manufacture and inexpensive. It is also easy to manipulate with the user's tongue, lips, teeth, and cheeks. be.

A further embodiment is illustrated in FIG. 5, the support frame being circular in plan. It has a concave dish shape 9 in cross section. This dish-shaped body has a Holes 10 are provided for passage of air and saliva. be. Furthermore, protruding bristles 11 are provided on the concave surface of the dish-shaped body. I'll say it again If so, such oral hygiene devices can The bristles 11 can be manipulated so that the bristles 11 have an effect over the entirety of the user's teeth. This will help you brush your teeth more effectively.

In the configuration shown in FIG. Rough surface tissue for cleaning teeth and gums without bristles is reliable.

All forms of the invention can be used without any cleaning compounds or with regular toothpaste. , or alternatively gelatin or soluble gel paste. , silk may be incorporated into the support frame or bristles of the device. Add something that increases the smell May be combined.

The above-described configuration of the invention makes it possible, for example, to remove the "dumpable" material of the invention from a dispensing machine. The preferred embodiments of Figures 7 and 8 are particularly suitable for packaging. In an example, the Nichinan Sei device uses a long tube of closed-cell polyethylene gas cells. Or, it is made by adopting a rod and cutting this tube or rod into thin pieces. This Chu The tube or rod is typically of 30m11 diameter and the rod or tube is The disk or toroid shape formed by cutting each tube into thin pieces is , additionally by cutting with heating wire or by mechanical cutting device , can be formed into a round shape.

For example, in FIG. 7, the disk is designated by 14, and in FIG. 8, it is designated by 15. A disk or toroid shaped thing shaped like a toroid shaped thing; The one with the hole 16 running through the center is then passed between a pair of rollers and its At , it is compressed and air is forced out of the disk or toroid bubble. Chase The released gas is described as air, for example closed cell polyethylene foam. The expelled disk or toroid may be a bubble consisting of a body, etc., and the expelled disk or toroid is Immediately after passing through the passed through the bath. In a preferred form of the invention, the solution contains gelatin and and a warm solution of the appropriate Nichinan herbal medicine, for which compressed discs or The id shape swells in solution and absorbs the solution into the bubble cavity of the foam. medicine The mixture of agent and gelatin is heated to a temperature of, for example, 60°C or higher.

The disk or toroid shape is then removed from the bath and allowed to cool, where it is packaged. be packaged and distributed in any appropriate manner.

■When using a sanitary device, a disk or toroid shaped body containing inclusions as shown in L. The object is inserted into the mouth and manipulated with the tongue over the surface of the teeth and gums. Book binding Due to the robust closed cell nature of the device, the device can be used for a considerable period of time, e.g. about 5 minutes. In this case, the closed cells are crushed into fibers, and the user's teeth and Effective for cleaning gums.

In this way, the Ico sanitary device is simple and inexpensive to manufacture, and the user It is particularly useful for cleaning the teeth and gums of children, and is also used for packaging. It is particularly suitable for distribution in bulk packages or in coin-operated distribution machines.
