The present invention relates to a tooth whitening apparatus and a tooth whitening agent container, and more particularly, to a tooth whitening device and a tooth whitening agent container improved in order to enable easy use and selective tooth whitening.

The three major functions of the oral cavity in the human body can be said to be chewing function, pronunciation function and aesthetic function. Oral health can be defined as the state of the oral tissues in which these three functions are properly exercised, and not only physical health but also obstacles to social activities and mental functions.

Oral health may be deteriorated mainly by oral diseases such as dental caries and periodontal tissue disease, but oral health may be deteriorated even without specific oral diseases. Loss of cosmetic function due to coloring, etc. can be said to be a typical case.

Although there may be some differences between individuals, loss of aesthetic function of teeth due to various causes such as smoking, drug use, and coffee can cause social and mental disorders. On the other hand, in recent years, the tendency to pursue health and beauty along with the well-being boom has become stronger, and as an example, the envy for white and healthy teeth can be given.

In order to solve mental disorders caused by loss of aesthetic function and to satisfy people pursuing aesthetic function, various cosmetic products for tooth whitening, such as combining cosmetic whitening agent, tooth whitening agent, with toothpaste, coating agent or adhesive Research has been done.

In the early stages of tooth whitening, toothpaste containing a small amount of tooth whitening agent was used to obtain whitening effect by brushing when brushing teeth. The colored components and the like could not be removed effectively.

After that, the tooth whitening has been performed using a rubber dam or a tray made after the tooth shape. This method also has problems such as damage to the oral soft tissues by repeated use, cleaning, filling and wearing of the rubber dam or tray. In addition, it was not easy for the general public to use the rubber dam or tray, and it was also difficult to selectively obtain a whitening effect on a specific tooth desired using them. In addition, production costs were not small.

Therefore, a whitening patch has been proposed that has a low cost and is easy to treat. This whitening patch is a product with an ointment containing a whitening agent component based on low levels of carboxylate or peroxide. These whitening patches can be used by anyone simply because the treatment is completed by attaching to the front and back of the teeth according to the instructions.

However, the whitening patch is relatively inferior in whitening efficacy because the whitening component does not reach efficiently between the teeth and the teeth. In addition, even if a patch for whitening is attached to the teeth there is a problem that if saliva is introduced can easily fall by the movement of the tongue or lips. In addition, the patch for whitening has a disadvantage in that the efficiency is inferior or cumbersome when trying to obtain a whitening effect selectively on a specific tooth because the deformation of the shape is not easy.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a whitening effect that can selectively obtain a specific whitening effect, excellent teeth whitening effect.

It is also an object of the present invention to provide a tooth whitening device and a tooth whitening agent container configured to be easily used by a person who wishes to perform tooth whitening.

In the case of the known art, which is generally well known, a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

1 is an exploded perspective view of a tooth whitening device and a tooth whitening container according to an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2 is a cross-sectional view of the coupling portion 130 and the outlet 150 shown in FIG. 3A is a front view of the closure 160 shown in FIG. 1, and FIG. 3B is a side view of the closure 160 shown in FIG. 1.

Referring to these drawings, the tooth whitening container is largely comprised of a main body 110, a connecting portion 130, an outlet 150, and a stopper 160. In addition, the tooth whitening apparatus further includes a liquid tooth whitening agent (not shown) stored in the internal space of the main body 110 in the tooth whitening agent container.

The main body 110 has a cylindrical shape having an inner space, and one end thereof is open. And the locking step 112 is formed on the outer side of the open side. A locking protrusion 172 is formed on an inner side surface of the lid 170. When the lid 170 is pushed beyond a predetermined force, the locking protrusion 172 passes through the locking jaw 112, thereby allowing the lid 170 to be coupled to the main body 110. Since the lid 170 is covered on the upper side of the main body 110, the outlet 150 and the stopper 160 may be prevented from being contaminated.

Liquid tooth whitening agent may be stored in the inner space of the main body 110. In the present embodiment, the main body 110 is formed of silicon, which is one of synthetic resins having elasticity. When the main body 110 having such a material is compressed by external pressure, the liquid whitening agent of the liquid stored in the inner space can be ejected. The liquid tooth whitening agent is ejected through the connection hole 135 and the outlet hole 155 to be described below.

In the present embodiment, the main body 110 is cylindrical, but it is easy for those skilled in the art to manufacture a deformation into another shape.

On the other hand, the main body is disposed in the lower portion, it can also be formed in a structure that allows to eject the liquid whitening agent of the liquid stored in the inner space according to the rotation of the rotating unit. At this time, the inside of the main body is coupled with the rotating part, the component (not shown) to eject the liquid whitening agent of the liquid stored in the inner space according to the rotation of the rotating part will be embedded. These components are well known technologies and their detailed description will be omitted.

The connecting portion 130 is inserted into the open portion of the main body 110 and installed so that the liquid whitening agent of the liquid in the inner space of the main body 110 does not leak. In addition, the connection part 130 penetrates the connection hole 135 to allow the liquid whitening agent of the liquid stored in the inner space of the main body 110 to flow. The connection unit 130 may be made of plastic, etc., and may be changed into various shapes.

The outlet 150 is coupled to one end of the connection unit 130 described above. The outlet 150 passes through the outlet hole 155 which is connected to the connection hole 135 of the connector 130. The outflow hole 155 may be drilled into various shapes according to the manufacturing process. The outlet 155 may be made of silicon. Furthermore, the outlet 150 may be made of transparent silicone so that the user may see the tooth whitening agent flowing through the outlet hole 155, thereby improving the aesthetics.

On the other hand, one end of the outlet 150 in this embodiment is inclined at an angle of 30 ° to 80 ° relative to the longitudinal central axis of the main body 110. By configuring the outlet 150 as described above, the user can easily apply the tooth whitening agent to the teeth without tilting the main body 110 horizontally.

The stopper 160 includes a body 164 inserted into the outlet hole 155 and a head 162 coupled to the body 164. In the present embodiment, the stopper 160 is made of silicon.

The end portion of the body portion 164 is tapered. This facilitates the process of inserting the body portion 164 of the stopper 160 into the outlet hole 155. And the body portion 164 is manufactured in a shape that fits snugly to the outlet hole 155. Accordingly, the shape of the body portion 164 may vary depending on the shape of the outlet hole 155.

When a product, such as a tooth whitening device, is released and distributed without the stopper 160, the tooth whitening component may leak through the outlet hole 155. Therefore, when the stopper 160 is inserted and installed in the outlet hole 155 as in one embodiment of the present invention, it is possible to prevent the liquid tooth whitening agent from leaking. In addition, in the present embodiment, the head portion 162 of the stopper 160 protrudes above the outlet 150, so that it is easy for the consumer to remove the stopper 160 when purchasing the product, and the stopper 160 ) Is made of the same silicon as the material of the outlet portion 150 is characterized in that the heterogeneity is not felt.

According to the tooth whitening apparatus and the tooth whitening container described above, a user applies an external pressure to the main body 110, for example, presses the outside of the main body 110 by hand to eject the tooth whitening agent, and then applies the tooth to the tooth bar. It is much simpler to use, unlike when using whitening or dam, or a whitening procedure. In addition, unlike the patch for whitening, it is possible to easily perform tooth whitening selectively to a specific tooth desired, and the effect is excellent because it uses a liquid tooth whitening component.

On the other hand, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, it is apparent that modifications and improvements can be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

As described above, according to the present invention, its use is much simpler than when the tooth whitening is performed using a conventional rubber dam or tray.

In addition, unlike the conventional patch for whitening, there is an advantage that the tooth whitening can be selectively carried out to a specific desired tooth. And because it uses a liquid tooth whitening ingredient is also excellent whitening effect.

In addition, in the present invention, the stopper is coupled to the outlet hole, there is an effect that can prevent the contents of the inside of the body leakage during the distribution of the product. And since the taper is formed in the body portion of the stopper facilitates the manufacturing process for coupling the stopper to the outlet. In addition, the present invention has the effect of increasing the aesthetics by making the outlet portion of transparent silicone. And the present invention, so that the material of the stopper is the same silicone as the outlet so that the user does not feel heterogeneous.
