본 발명은 칫솔에 관한 것으로, 더욱 상세하게는 성인이나 어린이를 포함해서 양치질 시간을 권장 시간 동안 실시할 수 있도록 유도함과 아울러 특히 어린이의 경우에는 흥미 및 친근감을 유발할 수 있도록 함으로써 치아 건강의 향상을 도모하는 칫솔에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a toothbrush, and more particularly, to improve the dental health by inducing the brushing time including the adult or child to perform during the recommended time, and in particular to the interest and intimacy in the case of children It is about toothbrush.

일반적으로 성인이나 어린이들에게 있어서 주기적인 양치질은 치아 건강을 유지할 수 있는 중요한 습관중의 하나이며, 또한 양치하는 습관외에 치아를 올바르게 닦을 수 칫솔질 방법이 중요시되고 있다.In general, regular brushing is one of the important habits to maintain dental health for adults and children, and brushing methods that can properly brush teeth in addition to brushing habits are important.

그러나, 대부분의 어린이들은 이 닦는 것 자체를 싫어하고 귀찮게 여기는 것이 현실이며, 이러한 문제로 치아에 충치 등의 질병이 발생하여 어린이들의 치아건강을 해치는 경우가 빈번히 발생했다.However, it is a reality that most children dislike and annoy this wiping itself, and these problems frequently cause diseases such as tooth decay, which hurts children's dental health.

한편, 종래에는 칫솔의 손잡이 부분에 각종 인형이나 케릭터모형을 결합시켜 친근감을 유발시키도록 하거나, 혹은 칫솔대에 멜로디가 흘러나오도록 구성함으로서 어린이들에게 호기심을 느끼게 하여 자연스럽게 양치질을 할 수 있도록 유도하였다.On the other hand, in the prior art by combining a variety of dolls or character models to the handle portion of the toothbrush to induce a friendly feeling, or by configuring the melody flows out on the toothbrush rod to induce children to be able to brush their teeth naturally.

하지만, 상기와 같이 구성된 종래의 칫솔은 단순히 어린이들에게 호기심이나 친근감을 유발시키는 것외에는 별다른 기능이 구비되지 못함으로서, 양치하는 습관을 길러주는데는 어느 정도의 효과를 기대할 수 있을지 모르나, 치과 의사들이 적정 사용 시간인 3분 동안 양치하는 것이 치아 건강을 제대로 유지하는 것이어서 이 를 생활화하도록 적극 권장하고 있기에, 대략 3분 동안 양치를 하도록 교육시키는 효과는 기대할 수 없었다.However, the conventional toothbrush configured as described above is not equipped with other functions other than simply causing children to be curious or friendly, it can be expected to some extent to increase the habit of brushing teeth, but dentists Since brushing for 3 minutes, which is the proper use time, is a good maintenance of dental health, it is highly recommended to live it, so the effect of educating brushing for about 3 minutes could not be expected.

즉, 어린이들은 양치질을 하더라도 부모의 강요에 못이겨 입안에 치약 거품 정도만 내고 1분도 안돼서 양치질을 그만두는 등 양치질 자체를 기피하였다.In other words, even if they brush their teeth, they avoided brushing their teeth because they couldn't compel their parents to push the toothpaste in their mouths in less than one minute.

본 발명은 상기와 같은 문제점을 해결하기 위해 창출된 것으로, 성인이나 어린이를 포함해서 양치질 시간을 권장 시간 동안 실시할 수 있도록 유도함과 아울러 특히 어린이의 경우에는 흥미 및 친근감을 유발할 수 있도록 함으로써 치아 건강의 향상을 도모하는 칫솔을 제공하는 것을 목적으로 한다.The present invention was created in order to solve the above problems, and induces the brushing time including the adult or the child to be carried out for the recommended time, and in particular in the case of children to induce interest and friendliness of dental health It aims at providing the toothbrush which aims at an improvement.

상기와 같은 목적을 달성하기 위한 본 발명은, 칫솔모를 갖춘 헤드부와, 상기 헤드부(10)에서 연장 형성된 네크부와, 상기 네크부에서 길게 연장 형성되는 손잡이부로 이루어지며, 상기 손잡이부를 손으로 파지하였을 때의 체온에 의해 색상이 변하는 변색 매체가 설치된 칫솔에 있어서, 상기 손잡이부에는 그 끝단부에서 헤드부측을 향해 내부에 길이 방향으로 일정 깊이의 요입홈이 형성되고, 상기 손잡이부의 끝단부에 상기 요입홈을 폐쇄하기 위해 마개 부재를 결합하여 상기 요입부가 중공부가 되도록 형성하며, 상기 변색 매체는 액상으로 이루어져 상기 요입홈내에 채워지며, 상기 요입홈에 대응되는 상기 손잡이부의 외주면에 상기 변색 매체가 보이도록 일부 영역만 투명한 적어도 하나 이상의 투명부가 형성된 것을 특징으로 한다.The present invention for achieving the above object is composed of a head portion having a bristles, a neck portion extending from the head portion 10, and a handle portion extending from the neck portion long, the handle portion by hand In a toothbrush provided with a discoloration medium whose color is changed by body temperature when held, the handle portion is provided with a recess of a predetermined depth in the longitudinal direction from the end portion toward the head portion, and at the end portion of the handle portion. The plug member is coupled to close the concave groove so that the concave portion is formed to be a hollow portion, and the discoloration medium is formed in a liquid state and filled in the concave groove, and the discoloration medium is formed on an outer circumferential surface of the handle part corresponding to the concave groove. At least one transparent portion is formed so that only a part of the region is visible to be visible.

본 발명은 칫솔모(11)를 갖춘 헤드부(10)와, 상기 헤드부(10)에서 연장 형성된 네크부(20)와, 상기 네크부(20)에서 길게 연장 형성되는 손잡이부(30)로 이루어진 칫솔에 있어서, 상기 손잡이부(30)는 일부 영역만 투명한 적어도 하나 이상의 투명부(32)가 구비된 중공 형상으로 형성되고, 상기 손잡이부(30)의 중공부(31)내에는 상기 손잡이부(30)를 손으로 파지하였을때의 체온에 의해 색상이 변하는 액상의 변색 매체(40)가 채워져 구성된다.The present invention consists of a head portion 10 having a bristle 11, a neck portion 20 extending from the head portion 10, and a handle portion 30 extending from the neck portion 20 long. In the toothbrush, the handle portion 30 is formed in a hollow shape provided with at least one transparent portion 32 which is transparent only in a partial region, and the handle portion () in the hollow portion 31 of the handle portion 30. The liquid discoloration medium 40 whose color changes by body temperature when gripping 30) by hand is filled.

상기 손잡이부(30)의 중공부(31)는 상기 손잡이부(30)의 끝단부에서 헤드부(10)측을 향해 내부에 길이 방향으로 일정 깊이의 요입홈(31a)을 형성하고, 상기 손잡이부(30)의 끝단부(30a)에 상기 요입홈(31a)을 폐쇄하기 위해 마개부재(31b)를 결합하여 이루어진다.The hollow part 31 of the handle part 30 forms a recessed groove 31a of a predetermined depth in the longitudinal direction from the end of the handle part 30 toward the head part 10 side, and the handle The stopper member 31b is coupled to the end portion 30a of the portion 30 to close the concave groove 31a.

여기서, 상기 중공부(31)을 형성하는 방법은, 전술한 방법 이외에도 손잡이부(30)를 상하로 절반씩 별개가 되도록 사출 성형하여 이들을 서로 접착 결합한 후, 손잡이부(30)에 주입공(미도시)을 관통하여 이 주입공으로 변색 매체(40)를 주입한 다음, 상기 주입공을 마개(미도시)를 막으면 된다.Here, the method of forming the hollow portion 31, in addition to the above-described method, by injection molding so that the handle 30 is separated up and down half by half separately, and then bonded them to each other, the injection hole (not shown) in the handle portion 30 The color change medium 40 is injected into the injection hole through the injection hole, and then the plug is not closed.

그리고, 상기 네크부(20)와 손잡이부(30)는 사출등의 제작방법에 의해 일체로 형성할 수 있으나, 본 발명에서는 서로 분리 가능하게 결합되도록 구성하였는 바, 네크부(20)의 끝단부에 오각 단면 형상으로 형성되어 돌출된 결합부(20a)를 형성하고, 이에 대응되는 손잡이부(30)에는 오각 단면 형상으로 요입된 결합홈(30b) 를 형성하여 상기 결합부(20a)를 결합홈(30b)에 삽입 결합하는 것이다.The neck portion 20 and the handle portion 30 may be integrally formed by a manufacturing method such as injection, but in the present invention, the neck portion 20 and the end portion of the neck portion 20 are configured to be detachably coupled to each other. Formed in the pentagonal cross-sectional shape to form a protruding coupling portion 20a, and the corresponding handle portion 30 forms a coupling groove 30b recessed in the pentagonal cross-sectional shape to form the coupling portion 20a in the coupling groove. Inserting into 30b.

여기서, 상기 네크부(20)와 손잡이부(30)를 서로 분리 가능하게 결합하는 이유는 어린이가 현재 사용하고 있는 손잡이부(30)에 형성된 투명부(32)의 문양이 실증난 경우에 다른 모양의 투명부(32)가 형성된 다른 손잡이부로 대체할 수 있기 위함이다.Here, the reason why the neck portion 20 and the handle portion 30 are detachably coupled to each other is different when the pattern of the transparent portion 32 formed on the handle portion 30 which the child is currently using is demonstrated. The transparent part 32 is to be replaced with another formed handle portion.

그리고, 상기 변색 매체(40)는 콜레스테릭 액정를 사용하는 것이 바람직하며, 이하 설명에서는 콜레스테릭 액정이라는 표현으로 대체하여 설명한다.In addition, the discoloration medium 40 preferably uses a cholesteric liquid crystal, which will be described below with the expression cholesteric liquid crystal.

여기서, 상기 변색 매체(40)로 콜레스테릭 액정 대신에 사람의 체온에 따라 색이 변색되는 시온 잉크를 사용할 수 있음은 물론이다,Here, it is a matter of course that the color change medium 40, instead of the cholesteric liquid crystal can be used Zion ink which is discolored in accordance with the body temperature of the person,

이하, 상기와 같이 구성된 본 발명의 투명부(32;32a,32b,32c)를 형성하는 방법을 설명하면 다음과 같다.Hereinafter, a method of forming the transparent portions 32 (32a, 32b, 32c) of the present invention configured as described above is as follows.

먼저, 손잡이부(30)를 내부로 보이는 투명 재질을 사용하여 결합홈(30b) 및 요입홈(31a)를 형성한 다음, 손잡이부(30)의 외주면에 토끼문양 등의 다양한 동물 문양 등을 갖는 종이등을 임시로 접착해둔다.First, using the transparent material visible inside the handle portion 30 to form a coupling groove 30b and the recess groove 31a, and then having a variety of animal patterns such as rabbit patterns on the outer peripheral surface of the handle portion 30 Temporarily glue paper.

다음으로, 손잡이부(30)의 외주면에 빛이 통과하지 못하는 불투명재질의 물감 또는 페인트를 도포한 후, 임시로 접착해둔 토끼 문양 등의 다양한 문양을 갖는 종이를 떼어내게 되면, 떼어낸 자리에는 어린이가 흥미 또는 친근감을 유발할 수 있는 다양한 문양 등의 투명부(32;32a,32b,32c)가 상기 요입홈(31a)에 대응되는 상기 손잡이부(30)의 외주면에 형성되는 것이다.Next, after applying the paint or paint of the opaque material that light does not pass through the outer peripheral surface of the handle portion 30, if you remove the paper having a variety of patterns, such as a rabbit pattern temporarily adhering, Transparent portions 32; 32a, 32b, and 32c, such as various patterns that may cause interest or intimacy, are formed on the outer circumferential surface of the handle portion 30 corresponding to the recessed groove 31a.

이후, 상기 손잡이부(30)의 끝단부에서 헤드부(10)측을 향해 길이 방향으로 일정 길이 형성된 요입홈(31a)으로 콜레스테릭 액정(40)을 주입한 다음, 마개부 재(31b)로 요입홈(31a)을 폐쇄한다.Thereafter, the cholesteric liquid crystal 40 is injected into the concave groove 31a formed in a length direction from the end of the handle portion 30 toward the head portion 10 side, and then the plug portion 31b. To close the concave inlet groove 31a.

여기서, 마개부재(31b)로 요입홈(31a)을 폐쇄할때, 콜레스테릭 액정(40)이 새지 않도록 완전 밀봉하여야 한다.Here, when closing the recessed groove (31a) with a plug member (31b), the cholesteric liquid crystal 40 should be completely sealed so as not to leak.

상기와 같이 구성된 본 발명의 작용을 설명하면 다음과 같다.Referring to the operation of the present invention configured as described above are as follows.

즉, 어린이나 성인을 포함해서 손잡이부(30)를 손으로 파지한 상태에서 양치질을 하게 되면, 손의 체온열이 손잡이부(30)를 통해 전달되어 중공부(31)내에 수용된 콜레스테릭 액정(40)으로 최종 전달되면, 이 콜레스테릭 액정(40)은 변색되어 특정 색상을 띠게 된다. 그 변색되는 시간은 대략 3분 정도 걸리는데, 사용자는 손잡이부(30)의 투명부(32)를 통해 콜레스테릭 액정(40)이 변색된 것을 확인하고 나서 양치질을 중단하게 된다.That is, when brushing teeth in a state in which the handle part 30 is held by a hand, including a child or an adult, body heat of the hand is transmitted through the handle part 30 and the cholesteric liquid crystal contained in the hollow part 31. When finally delivered to 40, this cholesteric liquid crystal 40 is discolored to have a specific color. The discoloration takes about 3 minutes, the user stops brushing after confirming that the cholesteric liquid crystal 40 discolored through the transparent portion 32 of the handle portion 30.

여기서, 상기 중공부(31)의 내면과 손잡이부(30)의 외면 사이의 두께는 체온 열이 잘 전달될 수 있도록 함이 바람직하며, 손잡이부(30)의 재질 역시 체온열이 잘 전달될 수 있는 것을 사용하는 것이 바람직한데, 그 일례로 열전도성이 우수한 플라스틱 재질을 사용한다.Here, the thickness between the inner surface of the hollow portion 31 and the outer surface of the handle portion 30 is preferably such that the body heat can be transferred well, the material of the handle portion 30 can also be transferred to the body heat well It is preferable to use what is, for example, a plastic material excellent in thermal conductivity is used.

그리고, 상기 콜레스테릭 액정(40)이 변색되면, 변색된 색상은 투명부(32)를 통해 동물 문양 또는 다양한 문양이 된다.When the cholesteric liquid crystal 40 is discolored, the discolored color becomes an animal pattern or various patterns through the transparent part 32.

이로써, 어린이등은 이 투명부(32)를 통해 보이는 동물 모양을 보기 위해 콜레스테릭 액정(40)의 변색 시간인 3분 동안 정성스럽게 양치질을 할 수 있도록 흥미를 유발할 수 있게 된다.As a result, children and the like may be interested to brush their teeth carefully for 3 minutes, which is the discoloration time of the cholesteric liquid crystal 40 to see the animal shape seen through the transparent part 32.

따라서, 양치를 대충하지 않고 아주 열심히 하기 때문에 치아 건강의 향상을 도모할 수 있게 된다.Therefore, it is possible to improve the dental health because it works very hard without roughly brushing teeth.

한편, 상기와 같이 손잡이부(30)의 내부에 형성된 중공부(31)내에 변색 매체를 채워넣어 손바닥의 표면과 변색 매체가 직접 접촉되도록 하지 않도록 한 본 발명의 실시예 이외에도, 손바닥의 표면과 변체 매체가 직접 접촉되도록 손잡이부(30)의 외면에 변색 매체가 도포된 테이프를 부착하거나, 손잡이부(30)에 요홈을 형성하여 이 요홈에 변색 매체를 노출되도록 수용하는 구조로 변경할 수 있다.On the other hand, in addition to the embodiment of the present invention in which the discoloration medium is filled in the hollow part 31 formed inside the handle part 30 as described above so that the surface of the palm does not come into direct contact with the discoloration medium. The tape may be attached to the outer surface of the handle portion 30 so that the medium is in direct contact with each other, or a groove may be formed in the handle portion 30 to change the structure to accommodate the discolored medium.

그러나, 전술한 다른 실시예로 구성하게 되면, 양치질시에 손잡이부(30)를 파지하였을때 손바닥과 직접 변색 매체가 접촉하기 때문에 체온에 의해 1분도 채 경과하기 전에 변색되는 단점이 있게 된다.However, if the above-described embodiment is configured, the color change medium directly contacts the palm when the handle 30 is held while brushing the teeth.

따라서, 본 발명은 손의 체온열이 손잡이부(30)를 통해 전달되어 변색 매체로 최종 전달되는 구조로 되어 있기 때문에 대략 3분 정도 경과후에 변색 매체가 변색이 되기 때문에 양치질 권장 시간 동안 이를 닦을 수 있게 된다.Therefore, the present invention has a structure in which the heat of the heat of the hand is transmitted through the handle part 30 and finally transferred to the discoloring medium, so that the discoloring medium is discolored after about three minutes, so that the brush can be brushed for the recommended time. Will be.

이상 살펴본 바와 같이, 본 발명에 따르면, 성인이나 어린이를 포함해서 양치질 시간을 권장 시간 동안 실시할 수 있도록 유도함과 아울러 특히 어린이의 경우에는 흥미 및 친근감을 유발할 수 있도록 함으로써 치아 건강의 향상을 도모할 수 있게 된다.As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to improve the dental health by inducing the brushing time including the adult or the child during the recommended time and inducing interest and intimacy, especially in children.
