Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention provides a brush-like tooth brushing part on a finger pick-like base, making it convenient to carry, and can be used, for example, after eating and drinking on the go, or before an interview. It relates to a toothpaste tool that allows you to easily brush your teeth.

[Background technology]

Toothbrushes are most commonly used as toothpaste tools, but conventional toothbrushes have a brush attached to the tip of a long handle, making them inconvenient to carry. Also, in order to reduce the length when not in use, a plug-in type with a split handle has been used, but it is still unsatisfactory in terms of portability, as it is rather bulky.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a tooth brushing tool which is made of a flexible material and has a brush-like tooth brushing section on a base into which a finger can be inserted, thereby reducing the storage volume and making it convenient to carry.

[Means for solving problems]

The tooth brushing tool of the present invention has a closed end into which a finger can be inserted, and a brush-like tooth brushing portion is provided at the end of the base body made of a flexible material.

[Effect]

Since the tooth brushing tool of the present invention has a base made of a flexible material, its volume can be reduced by, for example, bending.

The tooth brushing part has a brush shape and can remove stains on the surfaces of the teeth and between the teeth.

Moreover, since the tooth brushing part is provided at the tip of the base body, the base body can be bent together with an inserted finger, and this makes it possible to easily clean the back side of the teeth or molars during the day.

FIG. 4 shows a third embodiment of the present invention, in which the substrate piece 9 is provided with a handle 13 extending to the open end of the base body 2. Further, the board piece 9 and the handle 13 are integrally molded using a synthetic resin that is harder than the flexible material of the base body 2, and the board piece 9 is also implanted with hair-like bodies 12 similar to those described above. has been done.

In this example, the base body 2 is made of a synthetic resin film that is inferior in elasticity and has a small coefficient of friction with fingers compared to the synthetic rubber used in the first example, but has excellent processability and is inexpensive. It is formed.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 5, the toothbrushing tool 1 of this embodiment can hold the handle [3] between the finger F inserted into the base body 2 and other fingers, thereby preventing the toothbrushing tool 1 from falling out. can.

The base body 2, the base plate piece 9, and the handle 13 can be formed separately and fixed by adhesive, thermal welding, or the like, or they can be integrally formed.

FIG. 6 shows a fourth embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, an elastic band 1 made of rubber or the like is attached to the intermediate and root portions of the base 2.
4 are arranged. Therefore, the toothpaste tool 1 can securely hold a finger.

FIG. 7 shows a fifth embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the length of the base body 2 is set to be as short as the first joint of a finger, and the tip of the handle 13 is formed wide. The elastic band 15 is attached.

Further, the tooth brushing portion 3 of each embodiment is coated with tooth brushing agent in advance as described above.

Toothpaste contains small amounts of detergents such as soap, saponin, and synthetic foaming agents, as well as refreshing agents such as mustard oil, and, if appropriate, sweeteners.
It is also possible to add an abrasive or the like.

It is preferable that the toothpaste be applied or impregnated in the toothpaste part 3 in a dry state.Therefore, during use, the cleaning power can be exerted by moisture during the day. It can also be used by adding water or the like. Note that if there is a possibility that gargling after cleaning may be insufficient due to the usage pattern, the addition of the abrasive is discontinued and the cleaning agent or the like used is one that is harmless for drinking.

Further, the tooth brushing tool 1 is hermetically packaged in the package 7 as described above, and in this example, the package 7 is further provided with a liquid storage part 17 in which gargling liquid 16 is sealed and a waste liquid storage part 18 for storing waste liquid. ing.
