Description

[Detailed explanation of the invention] Recently, a tsumeageko with a ladle-like object attached to one end has been developed, but the opening of this ladle-like object (this shape is called a U-shaped part or stable part) A thread-like substance (hereinafter referred to as floss) is used to remove plaque, etc., and the other end is a sharpened nail fried egg (hereinafter referred to as fried egg).

This flossed part is used to remove plaque at a certain depth from the teeth that stand upright in the oral cavity, and the claw part at the other end is almost the same as a conventional cone-shaped part. Therefore, it is customary to use it in a direction almost perpendicular to the row of teeth, which is inconvenient when used deep inside the mouth or inside the mouth.

Moreover, in the case of a conical shape, there was some danger in using it.

The product of the present invention has been improved in consideration of these points.

An example of this implementation will be described below. Figure 1 is a side view of the product of the present invention, Figure 2 is a partially cutaway view of Figure 1 showing how the U-shaped part is used, and Figure 3 is taken along line A-A' in Figure 1. FIG.

In Fig. 1, 1 is the main branch part, and the U-shaped bottom of the U-shaped part 2 is connected on the extension line, 3 near the opening of the U-shaped part is the floss, and 4 is the floss. Depth to fit between teeth or floss 3 and U
This is an adjustment bar for adjusting the distance between the U-shaped part and the bottom of the U-shaped part.

In addition, 3 and 4 that are in contact with the U-shaped frame line within the U-shape
Since it is a molded product, it is welded. Reference numeral 5 denotes a tip of the tip forming a very small circle at the tip of the tip of the main branch tip, 6 is a portion forming a medium circle (middle circle portion), and 7 is a portion forming a large circle, that is, the large circle portion.

Next, the mode of use of the present invention will be explained.

Hold the main body part 1 in front of you and insert the floss part 3 between your teeth.
Lightly press-fit it at right angles to the tooth alignment,
It moves back and forth to remove food residue or plaque stuck between the teeth.

The adjustment bar 4 is used to adjust the depth of the insertion or insertion position of the floss or the distance from the gum to the tip of the tooth. For example, in Fig. It can also be used for children.

In other words, when using the product of this invention, even if there is almost no gap between the teeth, as shown in Figure 3, the floss 3
Since it is so-called thread-like, it can be inserted between the teeth, but the adjustment bar 4 is thicker and thicker than the floss 3.
It acts as a stopper without getting between the teeth.

Next, FIG. 2 shows a case where the floss 3 is used deeply between the teeth from the upper tip of the tooth in terms of tooth length.

That is, as shown in FIG.
is a kind of integrally molded product with one end of the plate connected to the internal vertical line of the U-shaped part, so it can be easily bent by hand, making it into the shape shown in Figure 2. Can be done.

When using the floss 3 deeper, that is, when a longer distance between the floss 3 and the bottom of the U-shaped part 2 is required, the adjustment bar can be removed from the U-shaped part.

In addition, when used as a fried egg, external deposits between the teeth may be removed by applying the tiny circular portion 5 of the tip of the fried egg.

A middle circular part 6 is formed adjacent to this 5,
This allows the 6 to run along the teeth not only on the outside of the dentition but also between the teeth inside the mouth, making it easy to operate.

In this case, the middle circular part 6 can be used to remove plaque from the tooth surface.

These medium circular portions 6 and large circular portions 7 were formed to clean the tooth surfaces. 6 is for premolars (or small teeth), and 7 is for molars (or large teeth). It can be cleaned by applying it to a surface and moving it up and down.

Regarding the materials used in this invention, the floss can be made of natural fibers, chemical fibers, and synthetic fibers.
The other parts are molded from thermoplastic resin, such as polyethylene, polypropylene, nylon, etc., and can be bent freely.

In FIG. 3, the U-shaped portion 2 and the main body tip portion 1 have the same thickness, and the tip portion 5, as seen in FIG.
6 and 7, but it is also possible to form it so that the main branch is attached to the U-shaped part with the main branch unfolded at 90 degrees.

As is clear from Fig. 1, in the present product, floss 3 is inserted near the opening of the U-shaped part, and an adjustment bar 4 is inserted in the space surrounded by the floss 3 in the U-shaped part. It has an integrally molded shape.

In other words, it also serves as a bridge within the U-shaped portion.

This also helps to prevent molding distortion (shrinkage or relaxation) after molding the product, and ensures that there is no change in the tension of the floss 3 or that the change is as small as possible.

As described above, the present invention has a structure in which the depth of the U-shaped part can be adjusted with respect to the tooth length when using the floss, and the tip part at the other end is not acute-angled as in the past, but circular. For safety, there is one or more circular parts (curved parts,
It has a middle circular part 6 or a large circular part 7), and is designed to serve the purpose of cleaning tooth surfaces more than just frying, and is designed to be multipurpose and usable by a wide range of people. and can be economically produced in large quantities.

Claims (1)

[Scope of utility model registration request] A floss 3 made of natural or synthetic fiber is stretched over the opening of the U-shaped part 2 made of thermoplastic synthetic resin, and the floss 3 and the U-shaped part are placed in the space between the floss 3 and the bottom of the U-shaped part 2. An adjustment bar 4 that can change the angle or bend so as to adjust the distance between the bottoms of the parts 2 is provided, and a main body branch part 1 is formed that is continuous with the bottom part of the U-shaped part 2. The other end is a very small circular part 5, adjacent to which a medium circular part 6 is provided as a curved part, and furthermore, on the opposite side of the medium circular part 6, a large circular part 7 larger than this curved part is provided.
