Abstract
The present invention relates to a toothbrush for cleaning a crown and a gum, comprising teeth arranged in a multi-directional bristles bristled around an inner side surface of a U-shaped head portion having both side surfaces arranged in a dentition opened and a U- And is capable of simultaneously wiping the surface of the teeth, the lingual surface, the occlusal surface, the teeth, and the gingiva while moving back and forth in the forward and backward directions.
Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a toothbrush for cleaning teeth and gums, and more particularly, to a toothbrush for cleaning teeth and gums, which can wipe the tooth surface, the lingual surface, the occlusal surface, the teeth, and the gingival fissure simultaneously.
A typical tooth care method is brushing using a toothbrush. The toothbrush is a means for brushing toothbrushes, which are planted in the head portion, with toothpaste to clean teeth with tooth surfaces of teeth.
As is known to those skilled in the art, a toothbrush may cleanly wipe the outer surface of a tooth ("sagging", also referred to as posterior teeth or anterior teeth) and the occlusal surface (the surface between the upper and lower teeth) The inner surface (the surface of the snow) can not be wiped easily and cleanly.
In addition, a general toothbrush can remove a significant amount of foreign material caught between the teeth while brushing in the lateral direction along the dentition, but there is a limit to completely removing the fibers or plaques. Patent Document 1 proposes a toothbrush capable of easily removing foreign matter such as plaque or food waste remaining in teeth by digging into a gap between teeth through the height difference of the bristles. The toothbrush according to Patent Document 1 is equipped with bristles having different heights so as to provide a cleaning effect between the teeth, but such bristles do not clean the dorsal surface of a tooth having a relatively high incidence of tooth decay as described above.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a toothbrush capable of wiping not only the sagittal plane, the lap and the occlusal plane but also the interdental and gingival fissures of teeth.
In addition, the present invention provides a toothbrush capable of easily removing teeth between teeth.
In order to attain the above object, a toothbrush for cleaning a crown and a gum according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention includes: a handle; a handle disposed at one end of the handle, the handle having a base; A head portion formed in a U-shape with a first sidewall and a second sidewall extending lengthwise from a rear end side of the base and providing an accommodation space for a tooth to be cleaned inward; And a toothbrush which is formed in various directions toward the space from the inner side surface of the head portion. The space opens both side surfaces orthogonal to the axial direction of the knob portion to enable movement of the head portion along the teeth direction, , The occlusal surface, the interdental space, and the gingival fissure can be wiped with the bristles.
A first horizontal bristle extending from the inner side of the first sidewall to the space in parallel with the base to face the tooth surface; And a second horizontal bristle extending into the space in parallel with the base at an inner surface of the second sidewall such that the second horizontal bristle faces the nose of the tooth, the handle being coupled to the head portion, The first horizontal bristles and the second horizontal bristles can be inserted and retracted between the teeth according to the forward and backward movements along the axial direction of the handle portion so as to be parallel to the bristles and the second horizontal bristles .
The bristles including a vertical bristle rooted at the inner surface of the base to confront the occlusal surface of the tooth; A first horizontal bristle extending into the space in parallel with the base at the inner side of the first sidewall to face the lingual surface of the tooth; A first inclined bristle inclined at a predetermined angle in the vicinity of the free end of the first side wall so as to face the gingival perforation of the inner surface of the tooth; A second horizontal bristle extending into the space in parallel with the base at the inner side of the second sidewall so as to face the tooth's nose; And a second inclined bristle inclined at a predetermined angle in the vicinity of the free end of the second side wall so as to face the gingival perforation outside the teeth.
Preferably, the first tapered bristles may be tapered outward at an angle of 45 degrees from the inner side of the first sidewall, and the second tapered bristles may be tapered outward at an angle of 45 degrees from the inner side of the second sidewall, .
The head portion may interpose the first refraction portion between the base and the first sidewall.
According to another embodiment of the present invention, a toothbrush for cleaning a crown and a gum may be rotatably coupled to a head at one end of a handle.
Specifically, the handle has a cylindrical portion provided at one end, a disc portion attached to an end of the cylindrical portion, and a protrusion protruding in the vertical direction from the disc portion, while the head portion is rotatably accommodated with the disc portion on the outer surface of the base. A stepped portion extending in the radial direction around the upper end of the receiving groove, and an arc-shaped concave groove formed in the inner region of the receiving groove so as to limit the movement path of the protruding portion.
In another embodiment of the present invention, the O-ring can be interposed between the handle portion and the head portion. The O-ring is arranged concentrically with the cylindrical portion of the handle portion and the receiving groove of the head portion.
Incidentally, the head portion can interpose the second refraction portion between the base and the second sidewall.
The features and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description based on the accompanying drawings.
Prior to that, terms and words used in the present specification and claims should not be construed in a conventional and dictionary sense, and the inventor may properly define the concept of the term in order to best explain its invention It should be construed as meaning and concept consistent with the technical idea of the present invention.
As described above, according to the present invention, the U-shaped head portion is disposed in the same direction as the axial direction of the handle, and the circumferential surface of the crown can be uniformly cleaned by reciprocating movement of the toothbrush in the anteroposterior direction. .
In particular, the toothbrush according to the present invention is a toothbrush having a toothbrush in a gingival fissure, which is a gap between a tooth and a gum, as well as between a tooth surface and a tooth surface, So that it is possible not only to improve the cleaning ability but also to provide vibration to the gum.
The present invention can perform brushing by arranging the head portion pivotably on the posterior portion which is coupled with the pull portion and which is not easily accessible.
