The present invention relates to a portable personal oral hygiene product. In more detail, a composition having excellent cleaning power, supplied through porous fibers, may be transferred to various types of cleaning tips, which may be used to remove contaminants attached to tissues in each oral cavity. The present invention relates to a portable personal oral hygiene product that is designed to be easily replaced after use because the synthetic resin component and the main body of the present invention can be easily detached from each other by being inserted into the synthetic resin component.

To maintain healthy teeth by frequently removing the plaque or plaque that can be easily attached between the teeth to prevent the occurrence of caries, gum disease can be prevented. To this end, a toothbrush has been conventionally used, and in addition, various oral hygiene means have been developed, and users can prevent tooth decay and various oral diseases through this.

Conventionally used oral hygiene methods can be largely divided into physical and chemical methods, the physical method is to remove the teeth or plaque attached to the teeth using a tool such as a toothbrush through brushing. There are methods, and methods of removing by using ultrasonic waves or iron needles, and chemical methods have been used, such as rinsing the mouth with a toothpaste containing a fungicide.

Among these methods, most people perform daily oral hygiene by brushing teeth using toothbrushes with toothpaste, and contamination that is not resolved is visited by a dentist and scaling. Toothbrushing with a toothbrush has the advantage of being inexpensive, but it has the constraint that water must be used and a condition for rinsing the mouth must be provided, which is difficult to carry and the scaling is expensive and can only be performed at the dentist. There are disadvantages.

To solve this problem, portable scaling tool has been developed, but the hook part to remove dental plaque, plaque and tartar is made of steel, so there is a danger in safety such that there is a risk of injury in the oral cavity for the general public to use alone. It may be small and effective in removing contaminants in narrow spaces such as between teeth, but it was difficult to clean wide teeth.

In addition, liquid fern solution has been developed to give portability and convenience, but it only has the function of removing bacteria in the oral cavity and preventing bad breath due to odor, and thus does not have physical cleaning function to remove plaque or tartar, which poses the greatest danger to oral hygiene. The level was not reached.

Therefore, the problem to be solved by the present invention is effective for teeth of various shapes and sizes in order to have an excellent cleaning effect while solving the inconvenience of carrying, which is a problem with brushing and scaling, and the absence of physical cleaning effect, which is a problem of oral dentition. It is an object of the present invention to provide a good oral hygiene mechanism that can be used and delivered with a certain level of polishing effect so that the chemical and physical methods of the prior art can be carried out simultaneously.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is a tip support body 13 and the tip fixing body 13 that can maintain the planar or needle tip (11A or 11B) and its shape that is directly responsible for cleaning in the oral cavity ), And a cleaning part 1 composed of a tip coupling screw 14, a body 3 having an internal space for storing the drug 32, a delivery medium 22 for delivering the drug, and the like. At this time, the part directly responsible for cleaning and the tip support 13 for maintaining the shape is integral, and they are easily attached and detached with the intermediate connecting portion (2) can be replaced after use and can be replaced The cleaning unit 1 can be replaced.

Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In the present invention, the cleaning unit (1) is made of a porous material as a part directly in contact with the tooth (5) can pass through and must have an appropriate level of polishing. The cleaning part is made of various materials and forms depending on the use.

One typical one is the pointed and rigid shape (bed tip 11B) to clean narrow spaces such as between teeth. The other is wide and soft to clean large spaces such as the face of the teeth. In form (tip 11A on the face).

The needle tip 11B is composed of a tip support 12 made of a hard resin so that the textile fiber 15 is present inside and the shape of the outside is maintained as shown in FIG. The method of making this is described in detail in US Pat. No. 4,221,493, wherein the inner woven fiber 15 is made of nylon 66 or synthetic fiber with similar properties and the tip support 12 is an acetal copolymer or similar properties. Synthetic resin of is preferable. In this case, the drug 32 passes through the inner fabric fiber 15 and the strong tip support 12 may transmit a strong force without deformation of the shape when cleaning the narrow space.

The planar tip 11A is made by adding an abrasive component to a non-woven polyester cotton or similar porous cotton. The manufacturing method is as follows. First, the abrasive component is dissolved in water to prepare a slurry. In this case, as the abrasive component to be used, one selected from the group consisting of calcium hydrogen dihydrogen phosphate, calcium carbonate, silica, aluminum hydroxide or a mixture of two or more thereof may be used. Harmless conventional abrasives may be used. It is preferable that the ratio of water and the polishing component is 3: 1 (water: polishing component) to 4: 1. If the ratio of water and abrasive is less than 3: 1, the cleaning power is no longer improved. If the ratio of water and abrasive is more than 4: 1, the cleaning power is significantly reduced.

While stirring the slurry made as described above, the polyester cotton is immersed to mix the polishing component and the cotton. After mixing, the cotton is taken out, compressed into a press to form a rigid plate (51), dried, and then cut and processed into a rectangular rod (52), then ground to form a round rod (53). The cleaning tip 11A is completed. In this case, it is preferable to process the end portion in the form shown in FIGS. 4 and 6 so that the front end portion 54 of the cleaning tip may have a wide surface.

The cleaning part thus prepared is completed by assembling and attaching it to the plastic moldings 13 and 14 pre-processed for ease of use. In the plastic molding, a coupling means such as a tip coupling screw 14 is formed to be connected to the intermediate connection part.

The second need is an intermediate connection (2) that delivers the drug to the rinse. In this case, coupling means 23, 24 such as screws are formed in two places so as to connect the cleaning part and the main body, and a drug delivery medium 22 such as a nonwoven porous polyester cotton is inserted in the center thereof. At this time, the polyester cotton is formed to protrude to the bottom to reach the bottom of the body (3) to be connected later.

The body 3, which stores the drug 32 and serves as a handle, forms a coupling means 31 such as a screw groove so as to be connected to the intermediate connecting portion 2 and stores the drug therein. In this case, the drug may be directly stored in the body or a method of replacing a separate drug storage container may be taken. In general, the drug may be a fungicide such as ethanol and triclosan, cetylpyridinium chloride, cyclohexidine and the like, and may also include conventional drugs used for tooth cleaning, such drugs are capillary phenomenon Through or through the intermediate connection (2) by the pressure to hold the body is delivered to the cleaning unit.
